Zip Zip 4 - Come To Me

This song was written and recorded by Zip ZIP 4; a British/Canadian Band who's performing 'heyday' was from the early 1980's through to the mid 1990's. They were based in Cambridge, Ontario and performed all across Ontario. They achieved notoriety after they appeared on the Q107 Home-grown - Volume 7 Album, alongside bands like Regatta and Kelly Partland and had the opportunity to record a CD as a result, which was produced by Stacey Heydon (Teenage Head) and was released under the name "Rhythm Crisis" - One Last Perfect Day, released through ERA international around 1991. The band later went on to record under the name they had used when they had started out, Zip ZIP 4 and recorded their 'Unzipped' CD which was recorded at Metalworks Studios in Mississauga, Ontario on November 7, 1992. There were 11 songs recorded in 15 hours with no overdubs, no editing, and no mixing. Just 'live off the floor' direct to a 2 track digital recorder. The results are presented here with this slideshow for you to enjoy.
This piece in particular was one of my favourites to perform with the band, as I found my bass line to be very supportive and melodic, as well as a bit of a challenge to play the arpeggiating lines in a consistent and fluid manner.
