Here’s the results (at 96K): Download audio file (Daydream Mod.12-9-2007.mp3)

In case you’re curious about how this is decomposed into its constituent parts:

The Protoplasm pad: Download audio file (Daydream Mod.12-9-2007.Protoplasm pad.mp3)
Triangle I is a lovely choice for squelchy basslines: Download audio file (Daydream Mod.12-9-2007.Triangle I bass.mp3)
Ableton’s Electric for Rhodes piano: Download audio file (Daydream Mod.12-9-2007.electric lead.mp3)
The other pad is an Ugo freebie vst called Texture: Download audio file (Daydream Mod.12-9-2007.pad.mp3)

It’s 126MB cuz there’s on frozen track. If you want me to delete the frozen one to make the download smaller (probably goes down to 10MB), let me know.

You will need the Triangle II, Frohmage,  Tau Pro.  If any of these are unavailable, let me know and I’ll freeze the track.

Looks like Triangle II is no longer available for free.

Here’s a preview: Download audio file (Battery Back Up.preview.mp3)

This is the downloadable Live set.
