Flight LM358 from Crop Circles by Hops Crops

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard Flight LM358, named after the LM358 op amp. This op amp is used in pretty much every home made pedal in the Hops Crops arsenal.

This song features a saw blade, which was picked up on a scrap yard at a farm that was apparently haunted. This saw blade is mounted as a cymbal as part of the drum kit. It gives a very eerie sound, a bit like the bell of a ride cymbal.

This song also features a quote by Frank Zappa. In the quote he describes his approach to playing guitar solos, but it's so beautiful it can be extended to an approach to life. It's about improvising and being spontaneous, and in honor of that quote, the guitar solo that follows it is completely improvised.

"My theory is this: I have a basic mechanical knowledge of the operation of the instrument, and I've got an imagination, and when the time comes up in the song to play a solo, it's me against the laws of nature. I don't know what I'm gonna play. I don't know what I'm gonna do. I know roughly how long I have to do it. And it's a game where you have a piece of time, you get to decorate it." - Frank Zappa
