So, one of my music friends asked me, "Do you ever write tonally?"
"Not really." I said.
"You should do it every once in a while." He said.
So I did...
This is named Tropical Garden because I imagine the greenest garden imaginable when I listen to it...and when I was writing it! I actually like how it turned out and there's no atonality at all, any dissonance is done tonally! Shock! Horror!!!
I also noticed that around 2.03, the chord progression I use is similar, if not identical to a certain canon everyone loves and I didn't notice until I'd finished the piece...oh well, good thing chord progressions aren't copyrighted!

That's funny, because I count more then three notes in each chord in this piece! =) Ha ha, but yeah, I see where you're coming from, I just don't like tonality in its purest form. But the idea of leave base tone, get to base tone kind of doesn't work...
If I have a base tone, go away from it, completely go out of key and don't use any conventional chords, but I come back to that base tone at the end, does that make it tonal?
Please could you explain to me what exactly you mean, as I fear I may not fully understand...

It depends on who you ask...
I'm trying to remember (and failing!) a composer who wrote a piece doing exactly what you're describing. He was somewhere around Schoenberg's time, if it wasn't Schoenberg.
But you're right: I was far too hasty in my previous comment. I should point to theorists who give far more detail on what is tonal music and what is not...
