Ring Mantra was recorded for my pal Tam Breslin from Glasgow. The title came from the video clip of the American remake of the Ring Movie which seemed to fit the audio.
I was into the idea of a metal track the used all the wrong chord progressions in the right way. A bit like an extened version of the moment on the Amon Duul II album Phallus Dei where they get all 'hoe-down' for a couple of literally timeless blissed-out seconds. All soloing was defiantly restricted to the MAJOR pentatonic in respect of ADIIs micro wig-out.
Wee Bleck Shafty's name came from the PPP limited edition Micro Guitar Amplifier, The Wee Bleck Box. Jimmy Spence has the amp in his shed and I believe that it's still spacerocking his red 'hot wheels' six string from time to time.
Ring Mantra was recorded by MC Shafty using Gibson guitars, Fender basses and Korg synthesisers. It features a vocal sample by Annie Feldmeier Adams from her track on the FSS release The Black Box.
