This made me quite emotional for some reason. Maybe the rawness of it. Great track man. I saw it a while back, never got a chance to listen, but I tracked it down!!
Hey mate im happy to hear your response. Been away dealing with complications for a bit, this is def my cathartic side on display. Looking forward to catching up w the loop soon. Good to hear from you, Chris
Hello Mike, reminds me a little of the great Roger Nelson Prince (God rest his soul)! Did you actually record this on a cassette deck? I can't believe it! But it actually sounds as if someone simply left a tape running during rehearsals. Everything is so beautifully unclean. A fascinating homage to the good old days! If Joseph Beuys had made music, his songs would have been similar to this one. Best regards Manuela
dear Manuela, your kind words could almost legitimize this as genuine dada! ive only been peripherally aware of beuys, im glad you pointed me in his direction. even on short acquaintance, hes really speaking to me. hope alls well with you, my friend.
It's cool man I see why it does sound like that because of the LIE recording on the tape but I'm not sure about the distortion at 1:30. I don't know maybe live it might sound indie but it kind of sounds more psychedelic.
Mike i really like the harshness of the track the guitar distortion, the tape cassette vibe too there is pain in there and its clearly expressed, maybe the intro of the guitar could be faded in to not dominate the vox and i would definitely repeat the vox again going into the end transition but that's just my personal flava, its not even a critique, if we were all the same music would be shite, you have your own identity here mate others only wish they could achieve it
hiya Paul, i dig what you mean on structuring a tune, ive been messing about with this too long tho and the only way to be shut of it was to use as little deliberation as possible. brother i appreciate your ears and thoughts, yer a gem.
hi Rita, my cats jump jump at that last kick. im going to see how they like neuro, maybe theyll kill me! im glad you heard this one sister, and i hope things are getting brighter over there.
great intro love that single snare snap and then the drums drop, great percs and the atmospheric synth work is powerful with that distortion, the beat smashes you over the head, i just had to climb the beanstalk the friendly giant didn't disappoint bro, top mix

Didn't sound too bleak.
Hopefully the generally indifference of the people will postpone or water down cold war 2.0 ;)
