This is a bit of fun nonsense really about cryptocurrency and criminal activities 😮😁 I tried a different method to construct the track forcing myself to work quickly - choose a sound, play a very quick phrase, choose another sound, add another layer… very quickly got the basis for this, then spent some time fiddling, tweaking and detailing, it was a worthwhile exercise to stop me getting bogged down…

Lyrics below if anyone is interested… cheers!

Lyrics:
I don't want your currency
I won't let you get my fingers dirty
With your
Cold Hard Cash
I don't want your currency
I won't let you get my fingers dirty

I got no interest in your high yield account
No need to feel the fibre of your fabric
Keep your pony, your monkey
And keep your own score
I won't touch your banknotes or your plastic

My assets are virtually pristine
Hidden deep in the darkest of webs
I'm using my cybernetic laundrette
Cryptically tying up the loose threads

I don't want your currency
I won't let you get my fingers dirty
With your
Cold Hard Cash
I don't want your currency
I won't let you get my fingers dirty

It's the gift that keeps giving
An endlessly expanding resource
Buy your bits, watch them grow
Crypto Queen says, you're in profit, of course

So I won't touch your bag of cash
You can pay me digitally
You won't find my ill earned stash
I'm a millionaire, virtually

I don't want your currency
I won't let you get my fingers dirty
With your
Cold Hard Cash
I don't want your currency
I won't let you get my fingers dirty

No Name
No Blame
On this block chain
No Stress
No Mess
No registered address

I don't want your currency
I won't let you get my fingers dirty
With your
Cold Hard Cash
I don't want your currency
I won't let you get my fingers dirty

p-funk territory, this. Maybe make the bass more prominent, so it can lead and then you may notice it can benefit from being simplified a bit.

Like so:

or so



And here's a brief history of funk btw:

@EdwardKiy
:lol: :clap: I get what you’re saying! :lol: it wasn’t what I was going for, maybe someone had sneaked a little drop of funk into my tea when I wasn’t looking… Boosh - classic!
