Ah, the concept album! The performance art of audio. Any weird idea that comes into the artists' head can be graced with that glorious title.

Seriously, at the request of Sherry, here's another piece from my "Gates of the Millenium" concept album, which is a set of pieces that revolve around possible futures, as seen from a time when we stand "at the gates of the millenium".

The piece "Altered Paths" that I posted a long time ago under "Sort of Floyd-ish" and the "I Remember The Setting Sun" acoustic guitar piece I posted under "Why is this in rock?" are both part of it.

Here's another: "Another Dream" with some jazz-rock guitar and some interesting vocal lines. The pad sound I'm actually using is a beautiful one from my Casio CTK-651 that soars eerily into the stratosphere on each note release; I'm afraid that it's unique to Casio, so I've just used a generic pad. For live performance, I've sampled it for use in my archaic Akai samplers. And, a little Rhodes goes a long way.
