High Life (Brian Tarquin album)

High Life is the fourth studio album by guitarist Brian Tarquin, released in October 2001 and the final one he would record for Instinct records. The album was recorded in Los Angeles at Tarquin's studio Jungle Room and in New York at his composing partner, Chris Ingram's studio, the Farm. Tarquin veered back to his rock fusion roots with the songs Razor's Edge and Spartacus. However giving into the record company's pressure for radio friendly songs the album produced the singles Riders on the Storm, originally recorded by The Doors, Celtic Tales and Charlemagne. Although the album reached the Top 40 charts at Smooth Jazz radio, Tarquin became disenchanted with the inconsistencies and water downed music of the format. Soon after the album came out he asked to be released from the record contract to pursue his pet roctronica project Asphalt Jungle while establishing his full-time composing career in television and film. Tarquin also went on to form the record imprint BHP Music to release the Guitar Master Series.

Personnel

gollark: Yes, de-oed wool is great.
gollark: Just patch the interpreter?
gollark: GPUs do this, kind of. GPUs are fast. Therefore, do this.
gollark: Obvious objections:- "what do you even mean, gollark, that sounds like just ILP but stupider" - maybe, yes, the main difference being execution of separate bits of the program at once- "why did you just invent SIMD but worse, ish" - oops- "but cache contention" - too bad, consume bees
gollark: Well, the obvious* solution to program counter counterness is to just add more program counters, by which I mean hardware-accelerated greenerer threads with no context-switching overhead for more effectively utilizing execution units.
