It would look like a psychedelic circus. The jazzy brass vibrato at 3:00 was pretty crazy! I was thinking some choppy R&B brass would be cool also.

Great job tying this all together.

Many thanks! Yes, 1968 was an over-the-top kind of year - flower power leftovers from '67, then student riots in Europe, and election/race riots in the US. Yikes!

But musically, one of my favourites.

Beautiful trip! Great build to the 3:00 minute mark and the brass is very cool!
Excellent finish...
Well done.

Thank you! (I'm beginning to choke up...

)

Thanking you also too.

The trumpets are from EastWest Brass 25th Anniversary - "run up, trill, run down" preset.

Thank you! The 60s as we would like them to have been!

(Didn't notice these nice comments - I thought this track has run it's course!)

Uploaded a cheap video to utube - just some pix panned and zoomed, some of them authentic(!). If you are old enough it may bring back some memories, if not, you'll have a clue as to what it's all about.

Unfortunately, I'm stuck in a '60s timewarp/wormhole thing. Everything I'm doing at the moment is looking back to my teens.

Hey ho! But anyways, I'm having fun, so, what the 'eck!

Just worked my way backwards through your 1968 tracks (this wormhole thing is catching).
I like this one a lot, and I'll swear I could hear Daevid reciting 'have a cup of tea' in the middle section.
Maybe he was talking to the nice ladies with the cake.
Hope there are more 1968 tracks to come!

Thanks for listening and commenting!
Part 4 - I'm hoping to post it on Monday. A more butch, rocking track, and without the Sitars.
Already started Part 5 - a "transcendental meditation" piece.

1968 - East meets West! (Now on YouTube!)
