Music Style Description A vocal acoustic song in Spanish by a white man with no soul, use at your own risk of ear bleeding a piano only happy song, although the rhythm is quite white and off beat a pulsating cool ambient sound for the Cops or Counter Terrorist Unit-style movies a generic sound circa 1990-1999 semi-reggae, another vocal track called TEARS OF RED If you like Joe Satriani or Steve Vai or any of the guitar instrumentalists of that ilk, this is for you and free A horrible and cheezy ballad that will make you sick to your stomach As seen in the HOW TO DEAL WITH TELEMARKETERS, the official Hold Music for your home phone(WARNING!) A jazzy blend of fusiony goodness for those who like the Lee Ritnour, John Schofield, Larry Carlton types The End Credits to an Action movie I haven’t made yet. SOUNDCLOUD link For those who want ambient synth sound to drone out their worries, dig this track free Harold Faltermeyer would be proud of this song for your 80’s detectives an all guitar ditty with sound effect The Lonely Life Blues with vocals, not for everyone because it kinda sucks, but might be good low in the mix a metal song that goes jazz and then gets weird… if you can believe it another vocal track, this time a bit more like Enigma but without the class or quality…use at your own risk Need a Van Halen-y, Dokken-esque sound a like tune instrumental? This is for you Mr. Coverdale Funky Funky Monkey done poorly. Not the best track, but it’s free Need a song with poorly played jazz?
