Temporal Mechanics Union has suffered the first recording casualty...not to be confused with the first recorded casualty of TMU, that's another thing all together. Behold the fate of the talking drum after a most tasteful solo take:
Temporal Mechanics Union has three tracks down: Drum Dance Song, Cookin' and Earth Tones have all completed post-production. We just might get this recording thing done by September...
Temporal Mechanics Union has successfully completed their first recording session! Look for the debut of "All Hands" in early September, available as a CD and downloads.

It is with deep sadness we note the passing of the great Mitch Mitchell: http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hAB55
Bio, pix and recordings: http://www.drummerworld.com/drummers/Mit
On a personal note, Mitchell is one of my heroes. His combination of technical skill, musical sensibility, and deep understanding of time will always serve among the best examples of the drum set art. Who else could have played on equal terms with Hendrix? For me, the profound musical relationship between Hendrix & Mitchell has few matches, on the same plane as Coltrane & Jones. The death of Mitch Mitchell leaves a great void in the percussion world, with no possible successor in sight.
