This started as a drum and synth bass loop to improvise over. I did, and it became something quite interesting. I added an arpeggio treated synth part, a 1970s styled Hammond organ and it took off for the future and beyond.

Major Snagg is the invented name of the 'band' that perform all my own musical creations. (songs and instrumentals). I play guitars, bass, rudimentary keyboards, harmonica, and sing. Melody has always been important to me... lyrics and guitar solos have to say or communicate something. I create musical worlds that I hope that you dear listener, will also want to explore and live in for a few moments...or longer if you feel that way inclined.

Story behind the song
So, what is electricity? it's something quite mysterious. It doesn't actually 'flow', through the wires ... oh no, it's an invisible force-field ... and best of all, without it, I wouldn't have been able to create this piece of music. Sometimes 'musical magic', just happens and pieces of music almost drop into your lap from nowhere. This is one of those recordings.

hints of Gaz Numan at beginning and then full tilt David sounsdcsape from thereon with a bit of Gaz returning toward end, - being the Gary Numan tragic that I am and also a fan of your music, it's completely brilliant!

Oh alright then. Electricity was invented by God, presented in Lightning, made Ben Franky lose his hair, which is why I won't fly a goddamned fucking kite. I like me hair on me head, thank you.

Wow ! Wall of sound !love that first shimmering guitar intro . Sets the whole tone . Great guitar over the imposing synth bass and drums . Love the synth tones and you can almost see the electricity flowing through those cables ! Fantastic production and playing on all fronts !
