"There's nothing else then forest and birds."
Living in the Pacific Northwest, I know exactly how that feels, and how inspirational it truly is. I don't know if you ever listened to my track Moss Mother pt.1, but that's what it's all about. So, I can totally relate to your situation, and I'm glad you found that!

"I'm not feeling alone anymore."

That pleases me to no end, brother. When I found this place, I felt like the "Bee girl" at the end of the Blind Melon's "No Rain" video. Everyone was so accepting and supportive. Most of what I know I learned here, from some of the old timers back in the day. I think I can safely speak for a lot of people here when I say that you're a valued member of this little community, and we're glad that you're here.
So, here's to many more, brother.
Take care.

You have done an excellent work on this track. I mostly listen to its rock attitude and it brought to my mind well established artists of this genre. I want to be clear, you deliver your own sound and expression and all I mean is you definitely have pro material here.
Best regards, Anthony

For being a beginner with mixing, you really have a talent for it. Great song and awesome job with the vocals!

Hey Lu. Welcome back, man. I'm glad to see you've been busy working on more music. I've always liked your work.
This is a good one. I really like the way you've used the synths throughout the whole thing, but their so cleverly placed that you almost don't notice them. But if they weren't there, you would definitely miss them. They're like a sonic ribbon that weaves in and out, tying everything together.
As far as the mix goes, it sounds good to me. Everything is clear, all the levels seem to be balanced, you have good panning and stereo separation, every instrument sits exactly where it should, and your vocals come through clearly. For a beginner, man, it sounds great! I think you're closer to "there" than you give yourself credit for.
When you release your album, please let me know immediately, and point me in the right direction as to where to find it. I'll be first in line to get it.
Take care, mister.

This is really nice. Vocal has nice color.
I like it!
Cheers!

Lu its amazing to here you again, i nearly gave up and only returned myself a month ago, hope your good tho, this is great, so you, instantly recognisable, the guitar work is fantastic, we both have mixed up souls at times and you grabbed a piece of our hearts with your unique delivery style and talent, a nice surprise to see your avatar up my first press today was instant, love to a Banana

Reminds me of Message in a Bottle by The Police - this is a real mash up of Rock and New Wave and absolutely delightful

Hey man how you doing? Mighty fine I'd say if this is anything to go by. Loving your vibe on this. Guitars and bass sound great, vocals fantastic, unique as usual. Everything sounds wicked to me, nice sound and not overproduced. Look forward to hearing more. Cheers Chris

very nice work on the percs

If only I knew a way to reach u, brother. Cuz if u could hear where my work has gone from where it began, with u involved in many of the first tracks, idk if youd even be able to find words. I hope to hear from u again soon man.

this is cool i love the beat here, but the voice needs work. cant complain tho my voice is #####

I think i fall in love on a voice lol
Now i will stop stalking you

Im listen now on the speakers...yesss this is my thing!!!

Hey Bananalu.
Its the first time that i see and hear this track.
Almost mist a great track!!!
This is amazing good.
Super!!!!
Big compliment.

I love the catchy beat and vocal on this - weird yet beautiful rhythmic sounds taking us on a psychedelic journey- I really like it. Kay0s

I Love the vocal and the beat. Maybe a primal scream somewhere near the end would rock it out a bit more but the voice is great on here. Kay0s

Nice 808 percussion and vocal treatments on this one mate, not weird at all. I could see a segment where we go full-on ##### metal, and then bring it right back down again.

Vibrant! This track is a killer! I love the concept; the beat and the cool vocalsIm really enjoying it!

Our track is now up and flying high.

Very original well produced...

Always loved your stuff BL - whether your plucking a old guitar and giving a heartfelt natural vocal performance or going classy new wave there's an energy and originality that sets you apart. This is wonderful and the combo of dubstep with the dark new wave elements fits with the breathless poignancy of the vocal

Pretty wild man, love your vox as always. I'd call this more fusion than weird, there's even a dub influence in there to me, and electronica of course. Which reminds me, here's a dub thing I did a while back. Maybe it might take your fancy to do something with. Could easily tweak it. I'll let you know if I come up with anything else I think might work.

Honestly, I don't really think this needs any work at all, dude. I think it sounds great just as it is. However, since you were looking to do a bit of a Heavy Metal crossover, I may be able to help with that. Let me play around with it, and see what happens. I'll post an updated metal mix when I get it done. Or, would you prefer to check it out before I release it into the wild?

Overall, I really like your style. It's kind of stand-alone, (which is good), but still has traces of some great artists in there. Just in this song, I hear Joe Strummer, Soul Coughing, Eminem, Puscifer, and just a micro-dose of Tom Waits. You really have a great command over your voice, and know how to use it well.
Anyhow, for the time being, I'll get to work on adding some metal elements to this one, and see if it's anything you like.
Take care, Mr. Banana.
