Looking over my online sales for the last few years I was surprised to find that one of my personal favorite songs was also one of the most listened to / downloaded. Ground Control has been, since created, one of the most creative songs of my career. It is not only one of my first solo songs but also one of my first beats produced on my own. Long days clouded by weed musk in the dark studio gave birth to my first album. Originally on Year of the Sweat Hoof then later The Lobster Man, Ground Control is a strange tale of shrooming gone wrong. The sample is from one of my favorite Blonde Redhead songs and, since I had no idea what I was doing, ended up chopped with a strange swing. I included sound effects from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to aid the adventure and a screwed up hook. The reason I found it strange that it seemed so popular (predominately over-seas) was that it was never really well recieved by those in my inner circle. I even attempted to perform it a couple of times to which the audience stared strangely as if I were melting on stage. Anyway, neither of the albums this song was featured on are available anymore so I figured I better post it as a free download. I chopped up one of my favorite B-movies, Street Trash, for a visual representation of how it can feel to melt on shrooms. Hope you enjoy. Drop me a comment and let me know what you think.
