If you have time take a listen and give twd some feedback.
Awesome twd.this is really unique and your voice is great.
The guitars sound good but it does make you want them more in your face but you know what,I just cranked the volume and I hear it's all there,just need to tweak the mix,I agree with tacatta and you can fix it,it's too good not to!
This is a track you want to keep talking about cause' like I said...it really is all there,just needs to be brought out.
I think this song is smokin'and I am no producer cause if I was I would be up all night workin' on this with you.
Very,very good.
WOW!! ive had feedback on this song, most positive, but none as reassuring as yours Allen! It's reviews like this that inspire me! Im always complimented when someone connects with the song the way you did =))
Thanks also to the loops from Looperman included in this song that inspired the concept!
And YES your right.....it is too bad youre not a record producer! LOL
I dig the concept of what your doing here.I like the vocal effects you use through the main body of this song and also on the spoken parts.The guitar sounds really great,but is a little lost in the background.And its hard to pick up all of your lyrics,but I like what I do hear.(not sure if its the effects or the mix)I'm not trying to be critical,I think your very talented.I am by no means an expert but maybe you can bring the vocals and guitar more upfront in the mix.
I appreciate your review. I have actually been trying to get better at "warming" the guitars and vocals in the mix a bit more. The fact that you have taken the time to critique the track specifically helps me to get better at trying to "perfect" the master. It really can be a daunting task but, without reviews and critique, its harder to gauge what I hear and what listeners want to hear.
Again, thank you! twd
Is there a reason why it stops after a minute and then is followed by 4 minutes of silence? It also seems to start with no real intro it just starts. It's also all sort of muddied and hard to distinguish one part from another.
Otherwise I like the sound and it shows a lot of promise, I really want to hear this again once some work has been done on it. Keep workin at it.
*Edit- Still just cutting out after a one minute of playing, frustrating because it really is growing on me. I would love to make suggestions, but i get the feeling some of them might already be a part of the song... How/where/what are you uploading? It still seems like it starts in the middle too... On a lot of programs whatever you have selected at the time is what you export, maybe preview the mp3 before you upload it? Guitar does sound a bit clearer though, but I can't hear any bass really... may be the fault of the laptop speakers. I'll give a relisten through some headphones.
im not sure what happened to the track but I appreciate your review. I have replaced the mp3 with the song in its entirity. =)) please feel free to drop by again and review it.

Description : This is my newest creation, at a stage very near to completion. No third-party mastering or mixing, as with all my tracks. Just have to fix a few tiny things. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MIX EVERYTHING IN THE SAME SESSION. This song has all human-played instruments - no quantization or MIDI! My brother does all the vocals except for the interlude part, which I do. My other brother plays the rhythm guitar (a Gibson Les Paul Custom - only one of 12 in the world!!) and I play the accompanying guitar (a Johnny Mar Jag and PRS). He has a lot of guitars :P A good friend of ours, Ronnie, plays the bass and another friend, Freddie, plays the drums. The drum track was done in one take (had to use an electric drum set due to time constraints - but acoustic kits are so much better). Overall, pretty satisfied with the result. Let me know your thoughts.
Description : The first track I sing on. Cheap stage mic & no fancy plugins. Heavily guitar laden to the point it's got a bit of a shoegaze thing going on. I pulled the lyrics out of my ass & yes, they're a bit silly.
Description : BIG UPDATE 26/02/2014 - So, this was an 18 min track that I have now successfully split in two. 2nd half I uploaded a few weeks ago (Things That Should Always Be, with the bouncy 2 min reggae intro). This is the first half, which has a new mix, a mega chill, meditative ending and a little jazz thrown in for good measure. Takes a few minutes for beat to really kick in. Constantly evolving electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic drums and lead banjo driven by fat, busy 80BPM grooves with a bit of a reggae and shuffle feel. Also: synth choir voices, dulcimer, violin, cello, shimmering pads. Builds up gradually to nice and rocking and then gets taken back down for the big comedown chill. I really don't know what sort of genre this is except 'far out'. I think it sounds more like a live band than one guy playing instruments and manipulating a DAW. Not my best track but a bit of blissful, sunny island fun. Real positive vibe here so I hope you give it a chance to unfold and unfurl. Sit back, clear your schedule and immerse yourself in these trippy sonic experiments cooked up deep in my off-planet underground laboratory. I have to send the MP3 to Earth via space courier (not cheap).
Description : In the 1700's the Comanche Indians became known as the Lords of the Southern Plains. The Comanche ruled a region that stretched across New Mexico, Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado and deep into the Texas Panhandle. The most feared and savage warriors of all the tribes of the old West.
Many believe their spirits still ride the night wind here.

Description : This track was like the inhale after an exhale of aggressive industrial-electro-sludge tracks that I had put out that summer and fall. This was the more reserved, and introspective winter track. It's nothing spectacular, but I still really enjoy it. I hope you do too. Take care. V.
