THERE ARE A FEW VOCAL TRACKS (NOT THE 7% SOLUTION - SEVERAL TRIPS, LORETTA, LORRAINE & LOUISE - THREE DIFFERENT PLACES), WHICH GIVE SOME SORT OF IDEA OF WHAT TO EXPECT LYRICS-WISE, FROM THE NEW STUFF, ONCE I HAVE ADDED VOCALS. TUNE-WISE AND LYRIC-WISE I TRY TO KEEP MY TONGUE FIRMLY IN MY CHEEK. THE LYRICS ARE PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENT FOR ME, BUT I WRITE THE TUNES SO THEY WORK AT THE INSTRUMENTAL LEVEL TOO.

THE LYRICS, ONCE ADDED, WILL, I THINK, TAKE THE TUNES TO ANOTHER LEVEL, AND APPEAL TO A WIDER AUDIENCE; BUT, FOR NOW, ALTHOUGH ONLY AT THE INSTRUMENTAL STAGE, THEY ARE STILL WORTH A LISTEN.

INDIVIDUALLY, THERE ARE TRACKS TO SUIT ALL TASTES; MORE SO, ONCE THE VOCALS ARE ADDED.
