Wow, another great track! Very nice arrangement. And great to see how you did it on video too.

It's good to see someone using a Monome in Linux. In fact, I think this is the first Monome video I've ever seen. Mostly it's been Mac guys (Daedelus, etc.)

That guitar sample is very evocative, sounds a bit like the Mermen.

You might want to get this stuff out to the clubs, do some live sets, and see how it goes over. I'll bet you'll have 'em dancing.
