Detour of Duty (Tension & Release ver​.​)

from Tension & Release by Matthew Joseph Payne

/

about

I was hesitant to put any remakes of old songs on this album at all, and indeed I cut an updated version of "Dead Hand" because it was doin' too much - but Detour of Duty didn't really find its form until the string parts (and later the TMK flute and sax parts) were added, so I felt the full arrangement really deserved proper release. Since it was always a great way to end an MJP or TMK set, here it is at the end.

Special mention goes to Steve Lakawicz, aka ap0c, playing the tuba here. When I got to travel to Philly to play 8static, he volunteered out of the goodness of his heart to sit in with me, and I enjoyed the experience so much that I asked him to track some tunes and send the parts to me. His playing bookends this album.
