Cool bio. Seems you've had quite the musical journey. I like some of Tangerine Dream's work also, mainly soundtracks. Man, it seems like lots of JCFers have been in LA/Santa Monica, and then left. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I don't smell that bad! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
love santa monica...truetone music! i got to play for all sorts of people out there...even pissed off Ozzy and family as they walked by and i busted into a solo acoustic version of "war pigs" on the santa monica pier.
and yeah, i saw the guy with the bullseye strathead on roller skates w/pignose....and he wouldn't sell it to me either :-)
as far as my ambient albums go...it took me years of playing in front of 2 100 watt halfstacks (marshall jcm800 RED amps, then a pair of red-stripe Mesa Mark III white tolex half stacks).
now that the tinnitus has set in....someone should have told me to run the BOTTOM cabs, NOT the tops :-)
anyway...if i hadn't played all the loud music i have in my life, i wouldn't appreciate the simplicity of the ambient electronic music i do.
and LVX Nova (my big major label guitar instrumental HERO DEBUT [img]/images/graemlins/band.gif[/img] hee hee hee) still stands as one of the best mixtures of that ambient electronic style with electric guitar. if i DO say so myself...it was a damn sight better than Clapton's TDF record, and we came out a year before he even thought of doing that....
you can find plenty of web info with a simple google of "Lvx nova"
my pure ambient (no geetars) music project stargarden is here:
