a mental breakdown eh? didn't know that.
Most pumpkin fans music I've heard is really good. This usually leads to me thinking of Act IV and the squandered energy that became of it. pfft...C'est la vie.
It's good to record everything, even jams. I like to do the glorified cassette tape recorder thing with the camera I have, which is one of those little ones with a nice mic meant for filming shows and such. If I get an idea, I'll typically hammer out some arrangement before I commit to record it and if the piece starts to compose itself (so to speak), i'll be all in with it until its done, usually 1 to 3 days.
That's been with newer songs of late, which prompted taking the dust off some pieces going back a decade or more and finishing them. songs are ready to go, but i'm not and not until composition copyrights are in hand first among other things.
