The Turnaround is as song of Eels that appears on the album Wonderful, Glorious. The interpersonal, wafting, dimly piano-lit track "The Turnaround" is like a solo shot of whisky at last call, with a corresponding toast that says, if only to yourself, "it's time to change, for the better."

I've always been fascinated by the mood and the multiple musical lines that overlap and complement each other in this nuanced song. There's a lot to learn here.

hotpico Hi Claude this is sounding rather cool I sent in a track but feel drums and bass could be a bit tighter, I'm happy to redo just waiting to hear Jungle Jim's opinion

Bdajaysus you're 100% right drums and bass could be a lot tighter - All me mate - I'm going to re-do the bass, its all over he shop. I listened and wanted to get a hammer and smash my hands.. :-) Bear with me a few days and I'll re-submit something better.

@Jungle Jim: Great, but don't hurt your fingers :-D

@Claude : OK - I think I can return the hammer to the tool drawer, but let me know what you think... If the playing and sync is ok I'd suggest dropping the volume on my track, the bass on the original is quite subtle.

@Jungle Jim: Perfect track Jim! I love it. Thanks so much for reworking the track. I appreciate. For now, I think the bass volume is ok. I will adjust the mix when all the parts will be there.

There is some synth/organ parts in the song, including the overdriven final part. Do you do that kind of stuff Tony ?

@Claude : I might be able to add some organ, haven’t had a chance to try it yet

@Tony Hearn: Give it a try Tony, If you like the result, we'll like it too. If you prefer, I will look for someone else. Just let me know.

Good track Jim! Thanks a lot. I think the overall sync is better with a start time of -0.189 . Is it ok for you ?

@Claude : Yep sounds right to me. There are a couple of spots where I'm early/late - I might offline edit and re-up to fix...
