This is not my first attempt at trying to do a cover song (you should hear some songs I mutilated on my early cassettes!) but this is the first one that turned out well enough that I thought others might want to hear it.

Created using loops from Mental Anguish, my usual keyboards, and Fruity Loops 5.0. Credits: mental anguish open loops

Taking two guitar loops from Blind Mime, I put them on a homemade space shuttle and launched the shuttle into the deepest depths of the galaxy. When I got the first radio signals back, this is what I heard. Credits: blind mime open loops

The manipulation of one loop in space. All sounds stem from the manipulation of one loop; no music is actually added to this loop. Credits: Don Campau guest artist loop

My name is Jeff Stoneking. I've been recording home made music since 1990, starting with just a Casio keyboard and a tape recorder. My first modest efforts were spotty, at best. I even gave up recording for a while because I could not get the sounds out that I wanted.

In 2005, I found a way to record and manipulate my songs digitally, giving me far more control over the songs I create, and helping me to create songs the way I had wanted them in the first place. I have since then created six CDs of home made music. This is my first song created for tapegerm.

I used the HInc-FLP12-Prd 690kb wav loop in this song. Credits: Thelonious Octopus, free loop sample pack mix, Heuristics Inc.

intrendent listened to Space Baby on 11/09/05 09:02:52 and said: "Hi, Intrendent listened to Space, the track should we Web streamed by our local German Web Radio www.feindsender.net :-)"

Björn Eriksson listened to Space Baby on 10/15/05 02:46:21 and said: "Hey, this is fantastic! I especially like that single tone piano heard starting at 1,31 and 2,09. Also the long distant screaming type of sound (for instance at 0.58) is a favourite component for me. Nice title for a great track too!"

Mental Anguish listened to Love to Make Music on 10/07/05 06:18:16 and said: "Wild mix here with some vox,nice gnarly synths that give off a hypnotic appeal,like the way you used the drum loops also.Slick production."

Buzzsaw & The Phlegm Swillers listened to Your Eyes Are Full of Hate, 41 on 10/06/05 09:59:17 and said: "Like yer track is cool duude! Tight, man! Like gr8, like spooky, dude! Like I wish I could say more, but I'm all like...duude!! "

Buzzsaw and a School of Shavings listened to Blinded By the Stars on 09/30/05 12:10:41 and said: "Seamlessly onward does the tale wrought by the Octopus Optimus continue. Again we attain Weimar Berlin. A pile of reeking sausages stands before an even greater pile of marks that soars to the heights of inflation, laughing dismissively at Tree Line, a region by comparision exactly level with the sole of a shoe. Heard within the grim mind of a local housefrau is this very music, her pondering having to heft a thousand bills for a single sausage. Again Thelonius' mix adroitly and ably captures grit and determination on the Dorotheestasse, an ability given to few, if any others. Masterful, Thelonius!"
