CHRIS HO CLUB KELLY NOTES This album is comprised of tunes recorded at various times and studios but unified by certain commonalities like looped or programmed drum grooves, a propensity to sound futuristic and heavy rejection by systems like muzak. Still they are fun, have musical character and reflect the advent of technological progress and marketing.... Alien Two Medium funky loop track here with Jerry Goodman on violin and Chris Ho on all keys. Kind of a techno jazz groove but also positive, uplifting and melodic. Jerry killed the track with one take as usual. Club Kelly Medium tempo loop jazz track with Chris Ho on all keys. Very melodic, rich and full, romantic, cool with a panache and sang froid, spirited and infectious. A Roll in the Hay Recorded at Michael O'Neill's studio and featuring that bad boy on guitars this medium tempo cowboy has the spacey combination of earthy, folk, country simplicity and modernistic, technofunk lounge. Absence Almost too happy and starting off with the chorus then into a darker mysterious synthy A section. Positive, hyper optimistic and lyrically beautiful and rhythmic. CH Shuffle Medium shuffle with Jerry Goodman on violin, Dr Matt on basses and CH on all keys, David Renick on percussion. Bold, bluesy, adventurous and cool. Ball and Chang Named after Larry Ball ( killer producer, bassist, arranger etc.) and his dog, Chang. Larry also did the midi work for the session at Rudy Guess' Rude Stude analog and digital studio. Wayne Wayne on woodwinds and Rick Zunigar on guitar, Larry ball on key bass, CH on piano. Contact Featuring Rudy Guess on guitar and engineering, Wayne Wayne on sax, Tony Lewis on e drum overdubs, Chris Ho on all keys. Magical, surprisingly heartwarming, lyric, adventurous and feel good. I Want to Dance With You Island fusion with Rudy Guess on guitars and drum programming, Chris Ho all keys. Happy/sad, dark, hypnotic yet optimistic. MLW Medium tempo techno funk jazz groove with Chris Ho on all keys. Melodic, happy, spirited, playful and fun. Neural Trans Futuristic fusion at a medium tempo with Chris Ho on all keys. Spacey, funky, dark and haunting groove, again earthy and lyrically poignant but also other worldy... Out There Back to Jerry Goodman on violin and Dr Matt on his alien tenor bass thing he made. Medium tempo loop and synthy groove. Melodic, not really out there, tuneful, easy listening, feel good. Panache Medium tempo loop techno jazz groove starting off seemingly as a ballad then bumping up some. Happy, cool, contemporary funk and artsy in a romantic way. Queen Bee Another recording at O'Neill's studio with Mike manning guitars. Wayne Wayne on saxes and flute and Gary Wing on drums here. Colorful, happy and some tasty soaring guitarwork by Mike!! Rise to the Occasion John Yoakum sounding so soulful on the reeds on this loop jazz track. Rudy Guess on guitars and Chris Ho on all keys. Spirited, simple and easy listening. Ya Mon Medium fast loop fusion piece with Wayne Wayne on sax, Rick Zunigar on guitar, Chris Ho on all keys and Rudy Guess engineering. Fearless, adventurous and medium dark possibly....
