Hello, and welcome to the music of
This is the fourth album I've written & performed myself, and the follow-up to Rhythm Cargo. I wanted to focus more on rock music this time, but still have the song variety. I used less keyboard so more attention would be on the guitar and the sound effects I could make with it, and the songs were faster as well. You can read more about the album further down the page.

This is the fourth album I've written & performed myself, and the follow-up to Rhythm Cargo, who's recording sessions ran directly into Organic Rock's, but instead of continuing the free-for-all with the songwriting, I wanted to focus more on the rock side, but still have the song variety. I used less keyboard so more focus would be on the guitar and the sound effects I could make with it, and the songs were faster as well. A lot of these songs were first written with the recorder running, and some of what you're hearing is the first time it was played.

The artwork was a bit of a departure in color. I went with brighter colors, and used a lot of white for the backgrounds. However, it did keep up the tradition of abstract art, and not including any text on the cover.
Released in 2009, then re-released in 2011 with a second disc of single versions of all its songs, this has been my last released album in over five years.

Thank you.
Here is some proof that it's still possible to just rock without raging." - MuzikReviews.com
My fourth album was created with a focus on rock music. Keyboard synth was cut back, and most of the songs have their sounds created by guitar. In fact, "The Trail" has all its "sound effects" created by guitar. Though don't think that keyboard was left off the album, as several songs still feature the electronica blend.
Also, there's no compression, or EQ changes (so EQ your stereo to flat when possible).
The second disc is set to the same track order, but with shorter song lengths, and changes the dynamics of the original album; creating an alternative version to the original that can be played as is, or used to mix your own version of the album.
