Description : A reworked old tune - one of the most "New Wavey" of my compositions. Always looking for collaborators and constructive commentary. Careful! This is LOUD! Best ~

I'll be honest, I haven't a clue about vocals, but I think it would be cool if you added some mild static to some bits of the song, giving off a sort of disconnected feel. (which you have done a great job with, by the way.)

This is very cool! I'm not usually a proponent of remaking old songs, so in my opinion you should just move into the future with new songs. I like the vintage feel of this, and it seems like it would be hard to convey the message with modern equipment. Did you do the vocals on this, I like em! Jammin tune all around! If you ever want some dark backup vocals or something, I could try to work with you! Faved for sure!

Thanks for the kind words Spiv. Yes, I will definitely have a vocal opportunity or several for you. I think you have an excellent voice - especially well suited for New Wave music.

I think it's quite amazing that verily immediately upon joining this site I find not one but three perfect fits for my project.

Spiv: Vocals/front man
Cruce: mix master, keys
Evisma: Bass
Me (Cole K): Guitar

I'm actually planning a video for Nightmare Girl. Wanna be the frontman? We'll do the Green Screen thing. I'm auditioning a couple models right now to be the "Nightmare Girl".

Reminds me of the Killers a bit, along with the Muse. Definitely has a new wave sound. I agree that the mix needs work. Does sound narrow.

Thanks for ur insight TV. You guys are all correct, the mix is weak. It's actually a slightly beefed up wav file recorded in 1991. So it's just really a salvage job, Really just wanted to show you guys a my writing style and modest guitar talents.

I'll basically say I'm not a good producer. A lot of you guys are much better at mixing beats bass and samples. My gig is I come up with countless neat ideas and can play a pretty decent riff and power chord. Looking for collabs to help fix that. :-)

Totally agree with Shortbus. This is a very good new wave like tune, and if you could expand the stereo field bring the drums and bass up in the mix. This would be fantastic.

I see you get the joke Mr Merlin. Haha! Yes it's a comical song. I envision a video - some guy - maybe Johnny Bravo or that dude on Th Evil Dead - he's all suave and trying to romance this chick but too his dismay he finds he's not real - cut to stuck in the tv, melted into a puddle, rubber face - lotsa fun and silliness. And the in the end he's picked up by martians and flown away into the next dimension.

That's what New Wave is all about. High tech futuristic music mixed with a WB SCIFI comedy that kicks ass but doesn't take itself too seriously. :-)

AWEsome man. Loved the synths and the extended jam at the end =). Sometimes hard to hear your vocal/lyrics, but all in all sweet track. Great reworking.

Description : I'm continuing the 'Unfiltered' Vol. 1 series, this is track 2.

Same as with track 1, i'm on the electric guitar/Squier Affinity series Stratocaster, drums and bass only in the beat, i kept percussion to a minimum to not distract from the guitar too much.

Made/recorded/performed in Reason 13.

Feedback is appreciated.

One acapella by Elven Voice, one loop by GenaMusic... So separate but something common...I decided to merge them and to leave them as clean as I could. Just added some synth pads and percussion.
