I can image some cat, with full cat arrogance, walking around the family home while everyone is away exploring places she knows she not supposed to go. Staring out the window and teasing the neoghbour's dog. Great track. The bass is excellent and your playing tight as always.

Like the fast drums and deep base. I always like strings in any track, I think that's what adds feeling. Slight sinister feel to it. Like it lots.

Good stuff BM...Don't know why I missed this.hey,when the beat,guitar and orchestration come together is great and the bass ties it all together.The open hihat drum parts are rockin' or is it a ride cymbal...I hear it's a ride cymb now.
It seems like your guitar eq or distortion seems a little different than I've heard from your strat and it sounds real good on this...I like your sound anyway,you can't help but sound good with all the money you spent on that high-end Strat:)

Nice guitar licks BM,

Update...You can count on a few rock tunes and I think you may recognize the percussion,Are you bringing something out of the lab any time soon?
Hope so.

huh.. I was seeing a girl named Kat for awhile..

Anyway... I dig it!
Some things here and there I was kinda irked on.. but I really do like all the fundamental qualities of the track!

The strings are freaking awesome.
Serious CHILLS on the 3:00 mark.. I love how you kinda inertly dropped the flow down to half time for a moment.

On the pad, goin' "weee-ohhh-wahhh-o-wahhh" I kinda felt that shoulda been drenched in reverb so it was way out on the preferall side of the listeners ears.
Some of the pads just kinda irked me.. NOT in a bad way, but I always take it, like.. if something takes me out of that place of enjoying the music effortlessly, and I start to notice things, I just gotta say something? you know?

Awesome work!
I love the mood!
How'd you do the strings?!?
Great freaking job on those man!

Hey guy, thanks for stopping by and given a ear here, yeah, things dont allways go as planned,I allways going for ultra smoothness in the tracks, but that does not allways happen, and it get very challegaing the more creative you get,Iam fairly new to the digital world of recording and it is just a major blast. I grew up in Nyc with big recorders ,big stuidos and going for big sounds!
The digital world out it on my lap! Iam very excited about even being a part of it!! The strings came from here, where Iam not sure, but I know I edited them by spiting them up and fitting it to the hart of it! So many things I dont know how to get yet,such as fading in and out,speeding up differnet tracks and not the whole meter.things like this.! iam getting it! lol anyways, glad I could entertain your ears! ;)_ and thank you very very much for your review. Given me a better insight on making a better art piece!

thanks again

The Cat? Lol, is that what you call your Mrs? Haha!

Nice track man, solid sounding drums and some cool synth work. Kudos to NIck on bass too, that's a good bass line.

EDIT: One of the girls I live with has the same name and shortens it to "Kat" too.

Description : For some odd reason, the titular acapella I used for this remix had vanished from Looperman. Luckily, I saved it before it disappeared.

Anyway, props to Stephanie Kay for this acapella! I've always wanted to remix Stars Collide, but I never got around to finally making a good instrumental for it. The acapella was akin to that of Genki Rockets' work (ESPECIALLY the lyrics), so I tried to retain the same vibe. Enjoy!

Description : This is a worship song celebrating God's beautiful creation, unfailing grace, and boundless love. It reflects on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the gift of salvation, and the light of God that shines even in the deepest darkness. It is a reminder to rise each day with gratitude and give praise to the One who saves, guides, and sustains us.
