Strange but cool experiments. I saw one of those club scenes where the view is checking out the spot seeing the normal weird movements but with a second listen some characters stand out of the picture. Your ideas with the effects are interesting how it changes throughout. Haha I have no other words to describe the listen. Keep going with the experiments. Thank you for sharing the listen Peace.

Checked it out :D Got the album to check out too :D Different is good, if everyone did the same think how boring that would be!! Weird sounds are good, keeps things interesting :D Cool track!

Came back for another listen.....I cranked it up HIGH and started jumping around on my sofa!!!!! I Think the combo of this and coffee did me in!!! (Chuckles)

Very interesting song you got here, I have to be honest i kinda laughed after hearing this but its a cool track and i like how you kept it very basic, nice work!

Personally, I like it just the way it is. I think it's interesting that if you leave the vocals how they are, you have 80's pre-wave. But, if you ran them through a bitcrusher and reverb, you'd have early 90's industrial. I think, for it's simplicity, (which is a good thing), it's actually a pretty versatile tune. Brilliant work, good Sir.

enjoyable stuff sounds very early 80's ,like the authentic sounds and overall vibe,not so keen on the vocal phrasing that goes out of time and key at times...but i enjoyed it more second time round. good overall

not exactly my musical niche, i dont pretend to be a raw, pre-wave fan. But this was intresting to listen to, personaly i would do more production work on the vocals, but then hey, it wouldnt really be raw, pre-wave anymore now would it lol.

like i said, not really my genre, but a worthwhile listen for me none-the-less.

As I listen to this again, I hear an echo of ABBA's "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme", which I love

Hello ....

With a little more effect on the voice .... and as written below our friends, this song it is very "Depeche Mode" .... in style ....
This does not detract from your ingenious concept, and this way, free your voice for us make to discover .... your other talent.
A good idea of make to evolve no doubt ....

Quote from crucethus..Depeche Mode meets, early Human League .

Hell yeah,this is sounding so old school...love it!

Great track mate,sounds like you had a blast making this beauty spiv.!

This is so different from your normal faster paced stuff,but never the less im real pleased your playing around in the electronics play pen!

Sounds cool man!

Great track Spiv!
I think the comparison to Talking-Heads is more due to the "experimental nature" of the track rather than a real musical affinity (I agree with you, they used to be very good but I never heard something like this from them).

The vocals are good: I like the way you "ignore" the tempo and the tuning. And I am not joking: this song conveys a sense or urgency, it's like your voice desperately needs to say something and you don't have time to care of what's around you.
It's like you have to follow your "intention" and you have no time for "reading the signs" which brings you to "cross the line".
I have to say it: this is brilliant!
You are a f***g genius!
Could this song be improved?
Yes maybe you could polish something here and there, but I simply *LOVE* this track as it is.
Thanks for sharing it with us.
Take care, Domenico

Depeche Mode meets, early Human League (Before Dare), John Fox....very very good, I want to enhance these drums and make a killer dance remix of this! (BTW...the syncopation of the vocals is perfect for this style of music)
Steve

Cool stuff ... great job!

Very cool Spiv, you are really going for it lately with the vocals! As many have said already, it has such an 80's sound, that works for me. I like the lyrics, creative writing, interesting effects on the vox, they seem to work well with the music. Cool trackman!!

Wayne

The Spiv sings!!! Is there no end to your talent? Nice job bro, really like this.

K;)

Wow, hello old friend! lol its been a while. glad to find a few of us older crew still on here. I'm glad to be back. nice job...as always.
Talk to you soon.

SYNTHIZIZ ;*)

your voice is very emotive

I love yer krayzee New wave stylings Spiv. You do got a great voice and I think whether raw or processed - I guessed that's a matter of preference. Fun overall. You'd probably be perfect for my song Real World. Only problem is I don't have a version w/o lyrics.

regards.

The Killers is what this reminded me of. It's in your vocal tone more than anything. Even if someone is not into The Killers, the resemblance gives it subliminal credibility. Your vocal timing and phrasing gets better after the two minute mark. I agree that the drums and the synthie thing don't work perfect, the synth has an extra beat or something.
Overall, like it a lot. The NIN thing got me interested in your work and I'm liking it all!

Evan

I actually really like your vocals on this, has a funky intriguing vibe to it. I think the vocals are yelling at me though when I'm trying to enjoy the music so I might turn those down just a bit

The drum synth and vocal don't fit they are not all on beat

I liked the vocals (although the morbid message in the lyrics...how are you anyway?!?).
There is a melody in your vocals that could be emphasized with the synths even more. But what a great job with all the real hardware!
I listened twice and yeah, it's catchy.

Haha funny vocals, nice beats great Spiv track once again!

Very 80's and I loved the 80's and yes I too loved Talking Heads :) great work once again

Steve

Nice! I like the retro feel this has, and how that lead seems a little out-of-time (not sure how else to describe it). And those vocal effects just fit so well!
