Stop Time

For those of you wondering what this is - a bunch of Reveal demos recently leaked on the Internet, the majority of which are earlier, more primitive, versions of the album songs we know, but there were also some other unreleased instrumentals. Only some showed any real potential, one of which was a song called Stop Time which was a bit of an old school R.E.M. style song.

Having altered the structure of the song and added some subtle additions instrumentally I'd say this cover is 25% improvised and 75% as the original.

I spent a lot more time on this and consequently it's the most layered R.E.M. song I've ever done. Lucky I upgraded my computer RAM recently!
