Meg |
by Nick Ali | Based on the story of Goethe's FAUST, this is Brownman's depiction of the coming to earth of Mephisto and his attempt to seduce Faust with the powers of the underworld. Featuring GRUVASYLUM's freestyle rapper MC Enlight (his lyrics were all improvised in the studio - Brown believes the connection between hip-hop and jazz is in this spirit of improvisation) |

2-3 Cuban son. This tune is based on the chord changes to the classic
jazz standard "You And The Night And The Music". Dig the brother's
effects pedals hard at work.
Compare this to the earlier rarely heard Pre-Release version |

taste of Brazil. This uptempo Brazilian Samba was written by Brown
over a set of standard chord changes. A free CD for those (non-musicians!)
who can guess
the standard.

| ..Vertical |
1:21 | 1.0
Meg |
by Nick Ali | Brad Turner has long been a friend and one of Brown's favourite trumpet players. Vertical was written as an "answer" to METALWOOD's "Lateral" and is a blisteringly fast 3-2 rumba clave. |

Jrel |

Meg |
by Nick Ali | A gentle bossa featuring the buttery sounds of Brown's flugelhorn and the breathy quality of Marcus' alto. |

Meg |
by Nick Ali | A
Cuban 3-2 rhumba clave version of a tune Brown originally wrote as a background

........Interlude 4 - ........Trumpet Solo - ........Interlude 5 |
|
Meg |
(solo) | The spirited group chanting by the band in Interlude 4, followed by Brownman's trumpet solo (see how the band drops to almost nothing soon after he starts... a beautiful moment in the session), followed by the dread Interlude 5 |
