Description : So, being a greedy guy, I saw Nuada Macnechtan post a collab with my pal BrokenScythe, and I just had to get my hands on it!
This is the "my end" mix, with the older Vocal (not as powerful as his take on it) but brilliantly done none the less. I tried to highlight it's powerful lilting, Vulnerable quality. Part of my plan was to accentuate the upbeats, with synth sax, piano roll "tubes", Two acoustic and one electric guitar tracks, and some reverse cymbal to bring out the reverse reverb of the vocal. The Piano-Roll Bass was a MoFo to program but I think it works. Key is Amin Pentatonic, tempo is 85. Drums are Mixcraft, Guitars tuned to D.
Reviews are welcome as always, criticism even more so..
Side by side comparisons aren't necessary, it's not a contest, it's a collab..

Remember Loopers, " If your not playing with others, your just playing with yourself" :)

What what WHAT! why was I not notified of this awesome spin on an awesome spin of a just ok track >:O
Wow this is seriously awesome Gooseman! I love the guitar, it flows so nicely with Nuadas vox.
Dude must you constantly slay it with your brass skills? geez some of us lack the ability to pull off slick brass mels ahaha
Just messing Goose, great track man. Seriously. Extremely refreshing to listen to. I enjoyed it very much.

I really like the music in this one. The guitars, the beat, and the bass with that tip of a saxophone just rolls in a hazy Sunday afternoon. The vocals needed crisping, in my humble opinion. It's hard to understand what's being said, although the melody works very well with the music. It makes me think of what David Bowie circa China Girl mixed with Enigma would feel like if they had a illegitimate child together.

I have listened to both versions and I have to say that they are both equally wonderful.

Definite fav :-)
