I can't help myself; I gotta say it... I'm sure I've heard something worse, but I can't remember when. It was probably in Detroit, where a "band" didn't have any instruments at all. Just a lot of spitting in the microphones and cussing and lethal threats against society in general. I think they call it "rap". Not the same thing at all, but at least as unpleasant if not worse.
I feel bad for giving a severely negative review, but I can't imagine you'd want me to lie. Wouldn't do you any good. Not that slapping you around will, but it's food for thought. Every poll needs outliers <grin>

Actually, I'm the greatest of all time. I don't suck at all.
But I will languish in obscurity forever.
That the whole "10 minute long instrumental" thing turns people off.
But I'm working on it. This one is only 5 minutes....

I don't know what anybody else is thinking, but I'm not saying you suck. Far from it. You're getting some good tones, and you're accurate. You've clearly taken the time to organize it into something repeatable. But, you may have missed your calling. This is the moody, directionless, forgettable, tiring, melody-free stuff that makes for great background music for angsty teenage coming-of-age movies. Listening to this piece, you can just see some marginally attractive 16 year old long-haired brunette wandering along the water's edge trying to justify her undying love for some drug-addled boom-boom who cheats, beats on, and ignores her when she most needs attention. Helps if it's late fall or early winter, when everything is hopelessly stark, cold and gray. But on its own, the piece can't stand. While it would work as part of a soundtrack, it's unlikely to be published that way as it's not something anybody would pay to listen to twice. I suspect most people wouldn't realize they'd even heard it once.
My advice? Move to Hollywood. They'd probably eat this stuff up with a spoon. Plus, there's always porn. They love royalty-free music.

Ah yes, the drug reference.
Actually, all of these (except for Minor Inversions and Pendulum) was recorded in 2003, entirely with the head phones on, while my young children slept in the next room. Can't be abusing drugs while a single father, and you get more guitar playing done after the toddlers are asleep.
Minor Inversions was in 2007, Pendulum was last october. Both quite drug free as well.
Though I recognize my stuff is good to listen to while high. I get it, and I don't remember much of the early '90s.
