Ticker Tape

Album Cover 1979 Angel Station
Here are two versions of a song called “Ticker Tape”. The first mix is a little rough and the second one is more produced – I like them both. We all get our inspiration from somewhere, and for me this song was inspired by a Manfred Mann Album - Angel Station – not a specific song – just the feel of the whole album.
Angel Station is unique in featuring a six-note descending theme in most of the songs on the album, woven skillfully into the context of each song in a different way. You can read more about Angel Station here.

Note: Originally (Sep 27, 2008) I posted both these cuts within the framework of the podPress plugin for WordPress. Either I did not understand how that software worked or it did not work – so iTunes posted a random version of this song. I have since discovered that if I post only one song to the blog for iTunes to see it works a lot better – so if you are interested here is that alternate version of “Tickertape” mentioned above, please feel free to download the cut labeled “Track 1″ below.
