Finding snippets of music and song that have taken on a meaning in your life or recall some event or place in time has become much easier with the advent of Itunes. In a few minutes I can download a particular Led Zeppelin song and Ted Nugent's 'Stranglehold' and remember driving home late one hot summer night twenty years ago.
Other songs are not so easily recovered, but are perhaps more meaningful to me since I helped create them. 'Blood Adonis' from the band Dreamer's Eye is forever lost as is 'Shotgun' from Count Zero. Maybe there's a poor quality recording of these in a box lost in a former bandmate's garage...but probably not. These songs exist only in my memories and in the memories of a few others.
However, some songs have been recorded and saved. I found a couple of master tapes from the band Static Condition and through the technical expertise of Flow Motion Media I now have newly digitized version of Chemical Corruption , Maddas, Rollin' On, and Satan Dog.
What do these songs mean? Well, they have different meanings to the writer and to the listener--but for me, beyond my initial intended meaning, they are an audio snapshot of the energy, excitement, and even the budding disillusionment of my lost youth.
