First, I just want to say this is a solid track. Everything, so far, is quality. The composition, the mixing, the instruments used. I have quite a bit of good, (and a minor suggestion or two.) to say about this track on it's own, and a few opinions related to things covered in previous comments. But, as it is, I've been awake for about 20 hours now. To try to attempt any intelligible word usings with the brain and the face and the typing of the things that make words and stuff...would just lead to the equivalent of a literary version of a Jackson Pollock painting.
Or the musings of a schizophrenic.
I will be back in the very near future to construct a coherent review.
It be OK. It's the time of year when I teeter on the brink of dehydration. I lose SO much fluid throughout the day, it's impossible to catch up. Shirt is soaked to the waist by 10:00 a.m. on a good day. I have to drink Pedialite just to regain my electrolytes.
"a minor suggestion or two to say about this track on it's own, and a few opinions related to things covered in previous comments."
I would love to hear them! I've got a few issues with the wah and the ending solo-ish line,... that is actually a higher guitar line transposed down. I'm up for suggestions.
An interesting track from you Evisma. Sorta reminds me of another that I cant for the life of me name, I only remember the beat. But, still great nonetheless. I do as well, get a Middle Eastern vibe; which I do enjoy. The Wah pedal does sound just a tad bit off to me, but you have stated certain things about in other comments, so I won't get into that. Gotta love Sintheticrecords ey?
Hey Evan, this is loaded with some far out strings and things! That intro reminds me of an 80s song by a band called Diesel - "Sausalito Summernight".
For me this has sort of an Arabic or Middle Eastern vibe to it. Yeah, pretty neat effect there with the Wah, you could have stretched that out a bit more for sure!
I Dig it man !
I will be listening to your Sausalito song now. Gotta know.
Interesting you say Arabic. I never had any kind of intentions for that. I'll take it!
The wah was short because I was getting clips all over the place. Pedal's wah is a bit crackly. You can hear a few toward the end of the line. I had it go linger, but it was distracting to me. I'll be messing with pitch-shifed wahs a bit more now.
Wow rock on!
Love it.
At 3.07 there is what sounds to me like white noise through a wha wha peddle.
Doesn't sound like it belongs there but ... I've nackered my speakers and am listening to this at the moment on two small pc speakers with one of those centre bass units which isn't bad for playing pool on Miniclip but for music .... well I'm off out to get me some new speakers and headphones shortly.
Love it though.
I'm glad you liked the track! I'll listen to the wah part again, as it is an odd part. My biggest issue was the sudden drop of low-mid frequencies when the wah ends.
I hope you had good luck with the speaker and headphone purchase. I don't use monitor speakers. I do everything with headphones, then listen on five different systems and adjust accordingly.
Supple X is not bad. You like to run words together to create puns. There's a probably a name for that.
How the hell was I supposed to get the Adam Sandler mosh-pitting reference? Definitely a long story to get to the punchline, which wasn't great, but I forgive you.
Don't know if I've heard an Adam Sandler album of comedy skits but I do remember a very funny song called At A Medium Pace, in which I think he goes on about shoving a shampoo bottle up his #####. You'll enjoy that one (not that I'm saying you're into shampoo-shoving).
I don't have any signs giving away my lair location. It's not open to the general public, just my special crew. So, we don't even get pizza deliveries. Gotta make our own.
Wind In The Willows is not at all fresh in my mind. I wasn't sure if you'd even have heard of it in Ozark country/Yankland.
This is how it came to me: the words "bass bro" or "bro of the basses" often go through my mind when I'm thinking of you so I was trying to come up with an alliterative greeting and go to "Bro Of Bro" and then "hall" just popped right in.
Never read Catcher In The Rye but then I'm no great reader even though I love words and ideas and stories. I have enjoyed reading at various points in my life and find it unlike anything else but just never seem to make time for it. I never read books at home, only when occasionally travelling on trains or planes. It's tricky on a bike or when kayaking.
I can't keep removing butler body parts or he won't be able to adequately perform his important buttling duties.
Damn, I've turned this track into our online chat page. I guess you don't mind. I wonder what percentage of your many track comments are mine? Might even be something like 20%.

Hello Evan,
Going back again to your track, I must say that I have to revise my previous comment about it.
It should say: wow this is a bloody brilliant track.
Well done

It sounds good. It's nice to hear something different from the usual on here. I suggest lowering the volume of it and raising the beats. Also a few effects with EQ and Cutoffs would be good for the track.
Mate different type of intro but liking it, great synths/pad, excellent beat for this type of rock track, as always brilliant guitar work, nice middle eastern sounds a very nice touch...Mate you are one of the best rock artist along with Danke on this site, admire the way you play the guitar always going to get something special when checking out your tunes, excellent track...FAV...Peace n Respect Evan...Mosaic...
Hey there! I am totally enjoying this one! You've played some amazing parts here, and the basses are turning my brain to mush... part of why this won't be as in depth as some of your other comments here... the other part is due to the shot of tincture. Either way, this really rolls! I think the part after the tempo change is my favorite part, the guitars are so melodic, and with the bass almost seems to form a counterpoint... that can't be bad. Seems like you were going for more of a live drum kit sound, in relation to the panning someone mentioned, so I get what you were doing I think. Well, killer track! Good to hear you doing your thing! Fave!
I really like that weird sound on first 8 bars haha.
This one seem to be constructed by alternating melodic and bass groove sections. Nice concept and it works very fine in here. Also the tempo change after the fast/loud section is very effective.
My favourite is 2:00 - 2:20. Interesting, powerful textures and good hi hat work!

I'm very glad you liked this one, and I apologize for the brain mushery. There is a metric Shi'tunn of bass guitar in this one.
As for the shot, I hope it was measured in fluid ounces, not cubic centimeters. Ain't nobody got time for that.
Take care.

LOW bass guitar, then dropped an octave on one line. Mean as can be.
I played with the hi-hats quite a bit, considering it's one thing that Mr. Nomad says helps break the monotony.
Thanks again!
