Applicable Beats is an album completed around 2002-2003. This album has a warm & chill out type vibe to it. Sometime after the Winter of ’99 album, I was feeling inspired and wanted to capture the essence of warm bass and beats sound. For the years in between I experimented with techno and EDM music creation. Bottom line – it was 2002 and I was ready to compose something I can rock out and chill to.
The primary sound driver was the MC-505 by Roland. Man I beat that thing up for years and this album was no different. I began sampling on my rock albums here especially in songs like Tears of Dread, and Re-entry Get Applicable Beats!
