Here is a piece called Untitled Rumba. And yes, it might sound familiar to you as an old version of it can be found in the ListeningLounge. However, Jon and I worked on it recently (((for a compilation CD))) and this here is the result:
You can download the high quality 320 kbps mp3 version here.
I wrote the music in 2003 or 2004 and recorded the guitars during the La Semana sessions. Last year Jon added new bass and synth parts and I re-mixed the whole thing. Perfect for a Monday Morning, isn’t it!!
SSRI has released ten albums since 2002. That’s a little less than two releases per year. But, we like to think that we make up in quality what we lack in quantity. :)
Two of those ten albums are not currently distributed, “The Santa Fe Sessions” and “Winter Rose”. But, both are still available from our Web Store and we are planning to re-issue them in our DigiPak format sometime next year.

As you might have noticed if you looked in the LL, the “La Semana” album now has a new and slightly different cover. After the Januay 2007 bancrupcty of distributor 33rd Street, which was owned by Tower Records, the SSRI CDs (“La Semana” and “Winter Rose”) they had in stock were sold to the highest bidder. We were not given an opportunity to buy the product. As a result we have not seen a cent from any of the “La Semana” or “Winter Rose” CDs you find in stores now. Since we sold out of the copies we had I thought it would be nice to create a new cover for the album, which will be released in a 6-panel DigiPak – just like the other recent releases 1G, Thira and Transit 2. The new “La Semana”, with identical content, will sell from our online store and through our new distributor Burnside sometime in December.
Here is the new “La Semana” cover:
– and this was the old one:
