Knocking around a solo for an upcoming trio project featuring @jacobt80.bsky.social & @ivystonelive.bsky.social!

Felt like something Via/Beck-ish. Even got out my new Ibanez for this one (tag still on).

Own the instrumental masterpiece, The Wizard on Vinyl or CD!

Unlike the version on all the major streaming services, this version includes all the special effects and awesome sequences that make this album special!

Deep dive into 'The Wizard'

Envy, how to get a sound for a song that screamed Envy? I don't know why, but the idea of early 70's prog & psychedelic rock seemed to fit with organ leading the song like the early greats.

What say you?

Deep dive into my debut solo album, 'The Wizard'.

Why a funky Motown bass riff? Well, O'Jays Money, that's why; hence that killer funky bass lick running through this track!

What comes to mind for you?

Here's a song off my debut solo album 'Apogee'.

The main riff i have had for a long time but could never work into a song. From Death Metal bands to Hard Rock, it just never fit, until I was trying to work on the song following the climatic 8th song, 'Wrath'.

When I was younger I used to play Zeppelin all the time. So while it wasn't a conscious decision, Zeppelin is definitely in my musical DNA. Good pick

I hear the Zeplin and Floyd influences, but I know I'm also missing a ton. Amazing work, Mick.
