Thanks mate, It's scheduled for a radio play any minute now. But i'm listening to the show now (splash radio) & i don't think it's anywhere near as good as the other tracks he's playing. It's going to sound a bit out of place if he spins it i reckon.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving your thoughts.
I'm glad you like it.

Very nice, FR, I don't usually listen to this sort of tune but this is just awesomely done! Very beautiful vocals, Patricia! Definitely gonna b listening to this a lot!

FreeRadical replied 15th Apr 2012 - 14 years ago

Nice one mate, It's a first for me in this genre as well. i used to just do techno all the time when i first started out but not many people seem to get it so i decided to branch out.
That's the thing about this site, It makes you feel like you're competing so you get swayed by public opinion to win more listeners. It's a bit "sell out" really but i figure there's plenty of time for artistic license after you've found a few listeners.
Thanks for venturing out of your comfort zone and checking out this track.

I can't say I know a lot about dance genres and electronic music but I do know a good track when I hear it. This is pretty cool, I'm not sure who it reminds me of but I know I liked that too, lol. Your thread is kicking #####, certainly an attention getter, just wish I thought of it first. Any way, this is a very well put together, I like her voice. Well done!

FreeRadical replied 14th Apr 2012 - 14 years ago

Thanks mate, yeah that thread was quite an attention grabber. If you wanted to do it yourself then just substitute the word "Norweigan" for "Swedish" and i bet it would work just as well.
in fact there's plenty of nations left to work our way through so it could be a running gag for a while.
I'm glad you liked the track. i tried to comment on yours a while back but there was something wrong with my browser.
I'll have another go in a bit.

I had a read of all the other comments here and was immediately attracted by the notion of a twenty year old Norwegian model! I'm so totally out of my depth here so forgive my complete ignorance of the genre please FR. Love the driving bass line and the drum/percussion. It all works perfectly. I can't hear what she's singing about though. It's a great voice and I'd be tempted to push them way forward in the mix and loose a lot of the effects too. Despite the onset of years I want to get up and dance to this so thanks for that. You've made an old man very happy - but not as happy as a twenty year old Norwegian model would!!

Great track, love it.

Richie

PS What is "chicane" please?

FreeRadical replied 14th Apr 2012 - 14 years ago

Sorry for the late response. I've been having some profile issues (I don't mean like multiple personality or anything like that so don't panic)
Yeah the Norweigan model turned out to be a good blag in that it got me quite a bit of attention. I'm going to give this track to someone to professionally master as mixdown is really not my strongest point.
Anyway, Chicane are a trance act that do a lot of stuff in a similar style. Their most famous one is probably "don't give it up" which was a double team with Bryan Adams (dam good track might i add)
Thanks for leaving your thoughts Richie. It's always appreciated.

Awesome Track!

FreeRadical replied 12th Apr 2012 - 14 years ago

Well don't tell anyone but i don't understand a lot of it anymore either. It's all changed since i learned what i know and to be honest i don't think it really matters anyway. It's what you do with your ears and your imagination that counts.
I'm glad you found five minutes or so to listen to the track.

Hmmm it wont be long before that happens you make great vibes!

I'm glad you enjoyed my random profile page. There's two much competition in the climbing up your own backside category so i thought i'd adopt a more unorthadox and unique approach.
I quite like the idea of a Mcdonalds on the moon. I'm sure they get the ingredients for the egg McMuffin from round there somewhere anyway.

@ FreeRadical: I like the vibes! And I really appreciate you giving me so much credit for this and the other remix of my acapella - but you are the one who created the tracks and made them what they are :)
Nice work!

FreeRadical replied 11th Apr 2012 - 14 years ago

I like to give credit where it's due. If it wasn't for you singers and rappers sharing your talents i'd just be making indistinguishable, run of the mill dance tracks like so many other guys & girls. I know there's still room for improvement but it's the words that make a track special & more importantly, it's what people want to hear. Trust me, i don't get anywhere near as many comments and downloads if it's just me doing it.
So thanks again.

on The time is now featuring Romy Harmony by FreeRadical

Yeah this is nice man :)

Really liked the lead stabby piano. The percussion is also awesome.. the vocal isn't over-used, which is good (although it does get a bit too loud on the semi-breakdown)

I reckon the track could use one or two extra layers to fill it out a bit more - maybe some arps or saws or something.. make it a bit more poignant mebbe..

As for the mixdown:

A bit on the muddy side.

The kick to me is barely audible - needs a bit more smack imo (no, not the brown stuff)

Things are also very sort of central in the mix, I reckon some more panning automation could be used to create a bit more atmosphere. Or some doubling.. I like doubling :)

But overall though, nice track! Thanks for the DL man!

FreeRadical replied 11th Apr 2012 - 14 years ago

I knew i could rely on you for some constructive critisism George. Now i've had a chance to play it back with some volume i hear it so i'll do a bit of eq and re-up it later on.
Note to self: Drink doubles, chase the dragon!
Cheers for stopping by.
(Oh and apologies for taking so long with that remix of your's. i just had to capitalise on the new girls acapellas. You know how it is? You've got to be quick round here or you miss the boat)

Thanks for your words of encouragement. The track wouldn't have happened without the acapella so all credit to Romy Harmony for posting some top vocals to work with. Two heads are better than one and all that.

Great work my friend, and superb use of Romy's wonderful vocals.

FreeRadical replied 11th Apr 2012 - 14 years ago

It's Romys vocals that made the track if i'm honest. I just built everything around the accapella. It's a bit like painting by numbers really, just instead of colours you fill in the gaps with sounds.
I'm glad you weren't put off by me duping everyone with the model thing.
Cheers again mate, It's always appreciated.
