Certainly if there is enough demand for this track to be available as a download for members of the loop I will make it available. To be honest when I put it up I wasn't really sure what people would make of it as I was straying into a genre that I don't usually compose in.

Thank you for taking the time to listen. I'm glad that you enjoyed. It is pretty brutal bass wise. One for the subwoofer people to show off with. I have a sneaking suspicion that this might make anything that isn't securely fastened rattle a little bit. Shame that you can't risk the mp3 player. :)

Captain's log supplimental..
Have had a fiddle and think we've rained that bassline in enough for proper belting this one out. Mp3 should be safe now dude.. peace :)

It's a very fine line with this one. Put the levels up too high and you get a very nasty distortion occurring which is not too pleasant on the ear. So I rolled with very heavy compression to avoid ripping amplifiers and speakers apart. That's a pretty heavy bassline in there. When I'm mixing I try to take account of the equipment that the track is likely to be played on. And come up with a fair compromise that sounds equally good on a stereo that you might play in a kitchen while you're doing stuff or a larger system when you really want to kick it and annoy the neighbours. I don't think I'll get too far in this business if I'm destroying equipment. I'm glad that you enjoyed the track and thank you for listening :)

Thank you for taking the time to listen firstly John. I agree with both of you that it doesn't fit electronic that well. But where would you say that it does fit? Therein lies the problem with this track. It's hard to find a genre that it fits squarely into. All we know for sure is that the beats bang and it's still pleasant to the ear. And that Mhyst sounds quite heavenly with that guitar wrapped around her. Yes that's an APB we've got to get together on a track soon..

Thanks for listening Mike.. That you lasted long enough for the vocal to come in is a reassuring sign. I can be a bit of a tease like that making people wait. There are pretty much two schools of thought for this track from the feedback I've had. Some enjoy being teased others like yourself feel I keep them waiting too long. It's a marmite thing. Will be popping to your page in the near future to have a listen :)

The vocal is deliberately lost quite deep in the mix. Sometimes ya don't have to know exactly what the words are to "feel" the song. I was hoping that it would whet an appetite to hear the song more than once to catch the vocal. Thank you for listening tho my friend.. I'm sure you won't be alone in wanting to hear the vocal :)
