"Suzumebachi is back again with another submission! It's been what... a year and a half? Something like that anyways. So I crafted this here remix out of armpit hairs and musical cheese (it smells faintly of the toe variety) at the request of some guy on IRC. Believe it or not, it had actually been in the works for something like 4 years, which is a little ridiculous, but oh wells."

Whether this mix does or does not smell faintly of toe cheese is of course a matter of personal opinion and subject to the listener's own familiarity with fromage of the foot variety. I suppose that, either way, we have to thank the ubiquitous "some guy on IRC" for persuading Mr. Guenley to send us another piece. It snuggles intimately against the three-minute marker, so is rather shortish, and favors textural development over wildly variant arrangement. Jesse writes:

"comes off as kind of simple at first. However as Darkesword noted, the texture is damned cool, and the arrangement just gets better. There's not a ton going on, but there's really plenty of nuance. My overall thoughts on it are that it isn't remarkably ambitious, but what it does is very tight, and there are plenty of interesting ideas introduced."

Honestly: pretty much. The Taub summed things up nicely; I guess if I had to pick out some particulars to make it sound all juicy and succulent and what not I'd touch on the dirty wah guitar strumming, discrete panning of piano, glide lead, and creamy minimoog lead at 1'25", and the way that the drums - which initially seem like they're on auto-pilot - actually DO some stuff. And the nifty Radiohead-esque feedback loop ending. You could certainly do worse when utilizing armpit hairs and musical cheese as your weapons of choice; good to see Ty remain active and send in this little-piece-that-could, which proves that it's not necessarily the length, but how you use it.
