Gran tema hermano. Una producción fantástica, con una gran voz que encaja a la perfección. Me encanta las guitarras y el ritmo, con energía y fuerza. Gran mezcla, muy lograda y de calidad. Y sí, todos tenemos algún amigo tacaño, en mi grupo también tengo uno. Que tengas un buen día compañero. Salud y paz.

Thanks! Not too sure about the mix, whether the vox/guitars are sitting right but whatever... it is what it is.

This track is giving me ##### pistols, the clash meets Bob Dylan vibes wow! FAB! work here on this. Your vocals have a lot of character a slight inflected growl that fits this track hand in glove & for some reason reminds me of Dylan similar but not the same.

Yes indeed we all know those skinflint types haha who rather hold onto their cash hmmm so glad I'm a vegetarian. Once again great lyrics & production. Bravo!

Shockingly kool Wayne. You definitely got the vocals for this one. Your song is like something from a movie or tv show tune. You did not hold back in the least bit. This is not weird, because it has a purpose. It is a fun-ny song. Well done.

Thanks man!

Tried to make the music sound like it wasn't in any particular key, monotone/bland bass sounds and abstract industrial noises. My mom said it sounded like it should be on tv as well so cinematic in some way.

Absolute madness Wayne ... for me it's a soundtrack song ... hallucinations, imaginations, moods, deep grey the colour ...

Nice one, Wayne! It's been a while since I heard a song from you. The intro was very fascinating. I loved the experimentation with loops in this track. I don't know why but I got super Halloween vibes from this one, almost a nightmare before Christmas sort of thing. That works perfectly since Halloween is right around the corner. Your voice never disappoints and I was happy to hear it once again. As usual, great track. Adding to my favs.

A Nightmare Before Xmas, I liked that movie a lot, cool reference!

I usually don't use loops, as a practice, as the main foundation of my tracks so when I do it's a lot of fun experimenting with sounds and effects I normally don't use.

Thanks!

But where they gonna run to?! One out of the box from you Wayne, I thoroughly enjoyed this. Drums were great and the little breakdowns were cool to spice things up. That telephone sound reminded me of one I used a while back in my reggae tune. It sets the ambience really well. All over noone home. Felt like this could almost have had some down and dirty electric guitar hitting those down beats maybe.

theHumps replied 18th Sep 2021 - 4 years ago
I'm gonna use poetic license to answer your question. They just ran away. ;)

Jeff Lynne used a ringing telephone loop in Telephone Line and I remember hearing it in another song(Beatle's song maybe).

Just playing with loops and effects. I thought of elec git but was still sore in the back, just started sitting up in front of a computer actually when I did this.

Thanks!

Pretty atmospheric track. A real spectrum behind the vocals opening the mind to all the sounds happening in the background and the reasoning for them. Great track full of innovation and risk. Score !
theHumps
theHumps replied 18th Sep 2021 - 4 years ago
Thanks Bill!

Just playing with some sounds and effects that don't get much attention from me. Some great stuff in these daws if you spend some time listening and trying to process/manipulate them to get a desired effect. Sure different than plugging in a git and ripping out a track in a minute or two.

Hi TheHumps, this is nice, really smooth; really great use of the drum loops, really good selection and variety. It actually didn't feel at all weird (genre). It's smooth, I thought of triphop as I was listening. The only element that didn't really fit (to me) was the vocals; I felt like the drums were driving the vocals rather than helping it, and vice versa. It doesn't feel it has a theme. Thanks for sharing. Hope your back isn't something too serious and you're better.
theHumps
theHumps replied 18th Sep 2021 - 4 years ago
Thanks! Life long back prob that flairs up occasionally, I'll live. :)

I guess without the vocals there isn't much of a story. The effects on them were there to help set the atmosphere and overall feel of the track. Appreciate the feedback!

That wasnt what I was expecting from what Ive heard from you before but it's wonderful and I do recognise some of what I have already loved in your work. This is a little more alt. but still very rich, creative, engaging, and rich in rhythm and melody. Great stuff : )

He quedado impresionado amigo Wayne por las sensaciones tan devastadoras conseguidas con tu pista, una obra de arte que consigue hacer que vivas ese apocalipsis en tu piel, tengo la mejor película en mi cabeza, has conseguido que visualice cada detalle con claridad cinematográfica. Gracias por la descarga y las letras de la canción. Google me la traduce al español lo que me permite vivirlo más intensamente. Buen día compañero. salud y paz.

I listened to this & felt compelled to comment, this is outstanding! work! The track absolutely opens up the imagination & gives it wings fly & also to feel the vibes running through the track of what it would be like. Not to mention the amazing lyrics that gives flesh to it all. The picture is clear & and this is seriously deep. TOP! Work

Another cracker from you Wayne, I really like your tone the lyrics are witty and amusing, your style is you. I love percussion, but getting it just right can be a ball ache especially cymbal's, I've got some Foley loops in amongst them is a great card ruffle, would have been great for this
theHumps
theHumps replied 25th Aug 2021 - 4 years ago
You just call me a cracker? lol

Thanks! I like songs that have a fun, twisted or interesting tales to tell. Been trying to work more on the telling of stories in my songs.

That loop might have been fit in there somewhere, never thought of looking for those types of sounds to add.

Another very cool track - Im wondering if the percussion could be up a bit in the mix (but am sure you experimented with it already knowing your expertise with the sound production - I should put my headphones on probably!!) was half expecting some claps for emphasis. I like it
theHumps
theHumps replied 24th Aug 2021 - 4 years ago
Thanks!

First off I have ringing in both my ears so that affects how I perceive high freqs. Second, I've found that if you let cymbals and tambo's(higher freq instruments) get too loud they can overtake your mix so lately I've been trying to just fit them in the mix more subtly.

Honestly, I wasn't even going to add the tambo, last min addition to add some high freqs that seemed to be lacking in the mix.

Yes! If only Wolfman Jack was a singer, hmmm, lol. You edged him out for sure. Well done! This is all folk music to me. The harmonica and room acoustics are amazing. Sensational songwriting skills.

Wayne, that’s a cool lift from boon, rip. songwriting at it’s finest, man, every time. reminds of when alt-country wasn’t just a pose, alas. i love this diamond-in-the-rough.

Boon? Not sure who they are or who he is. I didn't go nuts adding guitars, was thinking of some electric, twangy fills but left it more towards the folk/country side of things.

The movie actually ends with the gunslinger riding off into the sunset, a little bit richer for his efforts. Then a meteor from deep space comes down and squashes him against a saguaro cactus. Song was getting long so I left that part out, lol!

Thanks!
