Neomorpheus

i love the soundscape you create, and that is a lot of words you came up with (or found!). Nice impact overall. Regards - Dan

Your versatility is showing again Neo...and I have a smile of satisfaction of my face when I hear an guitarist/artist use the instrument to create the atmosphere with the restrained kind of melody lines that convey the feeling/mind picture rather than demo speed on scales etc (as many do)...love that big fat kind of dark pad that introduces the track...nice patient build (a la Pink Floyd)...very cool smooth singy tone on the guitar...its a fairly minimal mix..where the instrumentation carries the rhythm with the need for anything else....This is really well and thoughtfully done man...fab job...fav from this ol guy....Ed

I like this one and how it meanders along building subtly. Reminds me a little of Roxys dream-home heartache in how that style of writing just builds tension in the listener. Also a little Radiohead Kid-A like as well. I enjoyed my listen.

Loving the drones this year Neo. I've been meaning to record some myself, maybe with some slide cigar box guitar. Sweet field recording from the outer edges of space! :D

great piece. a long journey, whether it is the body , soul or the mind, is what I feel in this piece.

If any of the Gods is listening to this now they, will surely get the idea of creating something great...something
that hasn't been created before !
I'm joining Danke in faving and downloading!:) Thanks for sharing this divine event !

Outstanding...you are my God Neo...:-)

In this time of my life I think too much about time and life...you know I'm 50, and my 3rd child is 1 year old...what do he thinks when he'll be 18 and I will stand on his banquet as a grandfather???
This music will lead me through...

Instant fav and dl...your participation for the site is a biggest prize...

Hats off, Danke

Dang, this sounds awesome and chunky as heck! I love it. It's just missing some awesome rock vocals, though being a singer I want to add vocals to everything :) The guitar tells a story all it's own. The shaker was a bit of a shock as it was too loud, but that is definitely an easy fix. Beautiful stuff, that bassline from SupaFreakShow really took this to a new level! This is by far the best rock song on LM I've heard to-date.

I'm only sorry I didn't come here SOONER. This is pro-level stuff.

Hats off to you, my good Neomorpheus!

Great track here...Love the guitar work...I was really waiting on a really raunchy lead solo, but great work.

I could share ghost, paranormal stories, experiences with you for hours!! Makes you question your own sanity. Did I really see that? Just accept there's phenomenon we will never explain. You actually wouldn't believe all the people that have similar stories. I love that you investigated it afterwards. Ghost, they say, cannot physically harm you so nothing to be afraid of, hahahaha easier said than done! One night I was working late, alone as always, at my town hall maintenance job when I heard footsteps upstairs in the police department. Of course I went up to check it out. Too bad the cop on duty was parked up the road a few blocks watching traffic! I know that because after I realized there was no one there and the footsteps continued I got the hell out of there.Yes, I had to come back for more :p Loving the western frontier spanish outlaw flavor this has. I can picture El Muerto roaming the desert with arrows sticking out of his mummified headless corpse, tattered ragged filthy clothing flapping as the black stallion gallops along. DId it work? Did the banditos get the message? Vlad Tepes (the real Dracula) once turned back a 100,000 strong Turkish army with 30,000 impaled turkish prisoners. They got the message quite clearly 3:D> More plz!! \m/ \m/ Time to watch a western. If it makes you feel any better I once saw a colonial woman float across my front lawn (where I still live) ;) She was like a hologram, but clear as day! Indians roamed this area at that time and there's a place not far away where there's a legend 2 guys were running from the Indians when they killed one and he's buried next to the stream at a rest stop called Snow Falls. There's also a Wal mart just up the road, supposedly built on an old indian burial ground. Enough rambling, western movie time.

Hola, hermano muerto.

There's some pretty impressive guit fiddlin' here.

Nice Spanish intro. I have no idea why I never end up playing Spanish stuff but I just don't (eastern comes out quite easily).

There's a bit of Nothing Else Matters in that chord around 0:16.

Then drums and bass enter plus dirtier guitar, playing some quite melodic, slightly dark stuff.

Drums sound much better than in other tracks of yours. Why is that?

1:06 you kick into a cooler drum groove and then things get a bit crazier, in terms of riffage and busy drumming.

1:27 a little reverse cymbal, I suspect.

1:57 I like it here when things come down and we hear more of the chug of the bass g.

2:45 a return to your dark rock intro.

3:03-3:12 low end bass really stands out.

3:18 ##### me that gave me a nasty shock! That percussive shakery thing is way too loud. Good but too shocking for me.

4:06 a wah solo begins. Decent but not spectacular.

4:35 good drum fills.

4:59 that's a ##### mental laughing scream. Would be cool to have got that in earlier. Nice panning on it.

And an abrupt ending that feels just right.

Good stuff!

Hell Yeah!! I love anything with a latin flare to it. You have a cool idea with the intro. That in itself could be taken as song idea, keep the western idea going. But when it all kicked in I was all in for the ride.

Guitars sound great, nice tone and well played. I really liked the vocal at the end. You consider adding some more like that in the track or just the one shot? Just an idea.

Cool track!!

It's people like you who put me off! Pack my bags and give it up.
This is brilliant and should be on vinyl somewhere with a great rattle snake cover.
Wow is my best critical comment.

Dear mother of mine!!! :-)

What the f...ing hell is this???

One of the most innovative and creative 5 minutes I've ever heard here...man, you are really an unknown genious...:-)

That guitar tune is sharp as knife and those progy drums and that scream at the end...hahhh...will read the story but I have to listen this hundred times...

All my hats off, handshake, Danke

I can't stop listening to this. If you check my influences, you'll see that you and I may be cut from the same 2x4. Downloaded, gonna add bass and vibraslap, it's my birthday so I consider it a gift...don't worry, I won't post it. I'll just send you what I came up with and leave it up to you.

Peace

This started out like Willie Nelson, broke into some Earth, then went into unchartered heavy rock goodness. The time signature, or signatures, keep me paying close attention. Listening on a shyte laptop, so not noticing any bass. If there is none, I'd be happy to offer up some Geezer Butler-ness.

Love reading the historical events that led to the birth of so many cool creepy legends. I'm more familiar with the Ickabog Crane and the headless horseman of massachussettes tale but have heard a similar one from Texas. Can you imagine what those who encountered EL Muerto must've thought of that decomposing headless thing on horseback! Music fits the tale well. \m/

This Track Is Awesome. Reading The Story While Listening Made It Even Better. Keep It Up! Checks Out My Tracks & Comment If You Get The Chance.

Whoa that intro is GREAT, love the guitar work. And the tone is killer. Well done!!! Going to have to listen to blue jean blues right now!

It was well worth the effort to capture your mood in music. It transferred very well. I love dark music and always will. Peace! PDMuzak

This song's vibe totally conveys the emotion put into it...it is a beautiful peace of work. Great guitar and fantastic dynamics and mastering. This is the first time Ive heard one of your songs and you sir are a true artist

Ephemeral regreetings.

I am only stopping by momentarily, and then I will be gone - possibly to the afterlife.

" it sounded way too dismal and dreary"

No - must have just been your mood as it's more beautiful than sad. Sometimes I go through a whole day or thinking the music I'm currently working on (and sometimes even pretty much everything I've made) is either pretty crap or, at best, just not good enough. Sometimes I abandon it for a while, open it up again and realise it's pretty awesome. Sounds like you did something similar here.

"life is short."

Yes but as the comedian Chris Rock said a while ago in a standup show: "Life is real long if you end up with the wrong woman". Or something like that.

No need to peel your eyes anymore as here is the link to my Tool cover, which will most likely kick your ass and smear your face in the concrete...

What It Takes To Step Through

P.S. How are Spiv's friends dying from "traps"? ##### traps? Animal traps? Police entrapment?

Very emotional indeed...
I know the place, as I'm wandering through it this moment.
This is a real beauty,
thx for sharing,
Peace.

Beautiful and emotional...great guitar work!

Very interesting expression here, and minimalist in a good way. I think your guitar part displays a lot of grief and regret, not to mention sounding great. If you dont' mind me asking, what do you use for a baritone gutiar? I couldn't ask for much more from a track like this. I feel what you are going through in a way, as since I moved to this house, I've lost over 70 friends; from firearms, pharmaceuticals, traps, crack, prison and things such as these. It may not make sense, but that's how it feels. Glad you are making it through!
