This is probably the one productive thing I managed to complete during my recluse phase, or maybe it’s not productive at all. Either way I got to cut an album like I always wanted; ‘Black, Green & everything in Between’ is an ‘acoustic jam rock’ album with psychedelic overtones. It consists of 7 original compositions and 7 laid back covers of some classic numbers, an instrumental track of bass and harmonica each and 2 uninterrupted jam clips; all divided over two parts. I have uploaded some of the better tracks and the URLs are at the end of this page. You can either stream or download them.
Each track was recorded on my phone and hence the audio quality is consequently dismal. And yours truly being an extremely lethargic person, he didn’t bother to edit any songs apart from ‘A Lesson in Chemistry II’. The album art has been done on MS Paint because it’s the only picture editing software I can use.
Important: This album is not meant to be played loud! Ideal listening scenario: reclined position, eyes closed, headphones on with low volume and no additional effects. A bit of stoning prior to that would help of course. And finally I’m not open to criticism, constructive or whatsoever. You either like it or you don’t, simple!
Love and Peace

PS: Yes, the single guitar trip does get monotonous sometimes but hey I’m no guitar virtuoso and its tough when you are simultaneously singing. But hey, it could work for your insomnia.
