Pierre-Yves - I'm not sure what your fool idea was, but I'm sure it was a good one - just maybe not something Alembic would want to do officially. Plus, they have the best possible representative for Alembic, even if he isn't an official endorsee - Stanley Clarke!
Bill - thanks for the comment on King Cat Jam - I was thinking that maybe it wasn't good to post in the Alembic Players group because you can't really hear the bass under the effects, but they I realized that it was good to post to show what can be done with an Alembic and effects.
We haven't done the group track yet either - hopefully we can get that going at some point! Personally, I think it would be best to have each person record 4-8 bars, then the next person can tag on something, it can be related or completely unrelated!
