I like it better with the piano opening :p You have a guitar? How come we never hear you play it??!! Oh yeah, love how it develops further. The guitar is a nice addition, as you know how much I love guitar. No download :'( You forgot the disgusting SPLAT at the end, when your brains hit the wall and slowly slide down. Awesome TA!!!

Sorry for not allowing download. There's still work to be done. I haven't even added the splat yet :p

And yes. The first instrument I ever learnt was guitar. I only play acoustic though (the lead to this was played on an acoustic guitar).

Very nice done ! Great Dakness in it.You shouls start with piano alone,not drums indeed..I first tought about David Bowie's Blackstar..or Lazarus Lyrics
Fine mix also..

Hi man. Thanks for your response. I have now started with the piano instead and agree that it works better.
As for the Bowie thing, I kind of get the Lazarus comparison. I believe the opening to my song is just half a step up from it. Thankfully I added the 7ths at the end :P

Even before the vocals began, I started thinking of more recent Depeche Mode works. Then as your vocal work began, the feeling just got deeper! They are one of my all time favorites, so this is comforting to me. The bass styling also brings to mind New Order or Joy Division, but not exactly Peter Hook... since New Order has proven that they can do it without him. I'm not in the state to pay deep attention, thank Jah, but still I could feel the conveyance of the piece, and I love it! Big Fave!

I love Depeche Mode as well. I've been listening to there album Delta Machine a lot recently, so I wouldn't be surprised if that worked it's way into my sound.
Glad you like that track. And thanks for your feedback.

Hm.... It took a minute to grow on me but I like it. I think you should have more of a creeping or anticipating intro though. Still, it's good!

toastedavalanche replied 19th Feb 2017 - 9 years ago
Hi man. That's a fair point. Though I wanted to start the song as stri[[ed back as possible. To kind of set up the space, so that I could fill it as the song progresses. Glad you warmed to it though. Thanks for sticking through it and for your reply.

Toasted yos!

This is great stuff though maybe it would be better to begin simply with the piano rather than the sparse drumbeat.

It all comes together when you start singing. Soothing stuff that I don't hear as particularly dark. Mildly melancholy but that's fine.

I'm in a real rush now but will return to give my customary detail. This 1 minute review will still be longer than many you get.

Congrats.

I've changed the intro, thanks to your input. I've also extended it with a rocky outro. Your input, however hurried, is highly valued. Thanks man.

o.k. it's not a happy song but Stabbing Westward neither and they sold over a million...sometimes we need these kinda sad songs...and you are the best choice...

Beautiful melancholy tune you created. Your voice reminds me a bit like Momus.

on Endless Nostalgia by toastedavalanche
That salt circle will definitely keep the slugs away ;) Funny how we can hear other artists in one another's work. I did one song that sounded just like the rolling stones but I'm not a big stones fan hahaha It's your mellow vocal delivery style and gothic sounding synths. More please :D Time to watch the Thing.

toastedavalanche replied 20th Jan 2017 - 9 years ago
Yeah, I live near where The Rolling Stones formed. People here get upset if you don't think they're the best thing ever. So I keep my opinions to myself :P
I will definitely experiment with this sound in the future. Hope you enjoyed the movie.

Ok you got me at gothic 3;) Your style reminds me so much of Edwyn Collins. See all the great that comes from experimenting? I'm going to have to watch some John Carpenter movies when I get home tonight. Been listening to a ton of gothic metal instead of watching movies lately.
toastedavalanche
toastedavalanche replied 19th Jan 2017 - 9 years ago
I only know one song by Edwyn Collins and that's "Never met A Girl like You", so he must be influencing my style through some kind of musical voodoo. Remind me to put a circle of salt around my mic stand.
And you should definitely watch some John Carpenter tonight. In my opinion, The Thing is the best horror movie ever! Have fun :)

on Run Until Your Lungs Give Out by toastedavalanche
So, TA, I haven't listened to all of your tracks, but so far this may be my favourite. Not that I don't like your vocals. I really like them a lot. But I think this track actually could handle vocals as well. Might need to scale back a bit on the dynamics, but I "heard" vocal melody lines in my head as I listened to it. Very nice indeed!

I have to agree with bob here,

I could see the potential for this track to be used in a movie some sort.

Overall a nice cinematic piece well done toasted :).

on In Space by toastedavalanche
Damn fine job in this intro. Timing issues sound like two guitarists playing together without a metronome.

Vocals are haunting and very storyteller like. Reverse elements are pretty well placed and rather effective. This is like a sad moment sung by a soul in limbo.

All I can add is that you should continue this with some new additions. Give us another minute or two. Good stuff. Not polished, but I think some things are better patinated.
