Narcissus

from Hydrodynamic by Idiot Magnet

about

Originally this track was written more than 20 years ago, when I was playing around with a delay pedal one day. It gradually evolved over time, then when it was first recorded in 2001, added a bridge section and some piano in the choruses.

Recorded it a second time in 2007 for a side project (Van Hog Trio), slowing it down a bit and incorporating a sprawling intro. You can check out that version here:

This version was recorded in 2009 and this time added a whole new main guitar track, plus some acoustic & electric guitars for the choruses, as well as sped the whole thing back up to around 110bpm.

It took its inspiration from the Greek story of Narcissus and Echo about a hunter who falls in love with his own reflection and was originally going to appear on the Carnivore album.
