Thanks for the review.It'e too much honour,lol!I won't refuse some help for mixing and mastering because I think my mixes are quite weak in general.Maybe you could check my tunes and see if you'd like working on one of them.Got one called "broken glass" that's crying out for remix.
Thanks again

Haha Thank you so much! ! I enjoyed making this track alot as well. Definetly one of my most favorites on my page. I dont think it could of turned out any better. Remember if you ever wanna collab just email me ! ! ! ! Thankyou so much for sharing your talent.

Sorry about the delay (school stuff). Yeah, wasn't there a remix competition for 'Come Back Clean' done by Beatport.com earlier this year? I didn't participate, because I think it's bogus that they charge for the samples used in the comp.
As for the album and their stem offer I made mention of that in the forums right after I got the album (dunno how many people went for it though). I also have it mentioned in my "Listening To Right Now" part of my profile.
As for the vocals, I thought the same thing (same person singin), but actually it's someone different (Stephanie King Warfield sings on here, while Emily Haines sang for Come Back Clean).
As for this mix, I wanted to try something new and do a remix that had synths and stuff not done on the original (took it even further on my remix of Eshar's Still Tribal). Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Haha thanx or this great review. The piano is a perfect instrument. Thats awesome that you play. I like my avatar to. I was messing around in photoshop and it just kinda turned out that way by accident. It was crazy. But anyways thanx for the review. I appreciate it for sure. You talented to! Keep up the good work.

That DSK Darkness Theory is one that I just couldn't imagine ever using. I'm one that really doesn't like Horror Movies - period. I always feel a bit violated by the end of one and it's not entertaining to me. So this track is really quite a surprise personally on several fronts. It all began with an experiment importing a live kalimba recording that really reminded me of Balinese gamelan orchestra music. The leap to Hungry Ghosts happened immediately as it's specifically a Chinese mythology (extended out through much of Asia). I certainly approach my music visually, and it's what I can see in my mind's eye that I try to recreate sonically. The real joy to me is that this seems to translate and people like you "see" related visuals upon listening. I can't think of a higher form of compliment. Thanks so much!

Thanks Ken. The chinese sounds are something that I haven't tried before. I like your indepth storyboard. I'll be sure to check out your tunes.

Peace

thanks bruva

well we recorded this with the most minimal of equipement..im glad it turned out the way it did.. thanks for listening.. it means a lot when someone else enjoys and takes the time to review someone elses songs.

Hi there Califken,

Don't believe I have seen your name before in connection to reviewing any of my past tunes....so welcome and thanks for listening and reviewing this song.
It is nice to know what people think...good or bad....so a person can improve themselves.

Yes, the intro uses nearly the same chords as Thriller does, but in a different key. The last chord is a lot different tho as I needed one to hold for a moment till the other part of the song started. (minor 7th)

As far as clean sounding, I usually go in direct and use effects from 'Line 6' products or some of my own hardware. Pretty much need humbucker pickups too for guitar.
There are effects that will take out noise. Lots of times you can use a parametric EQ to zero in on a frequency to cut it out...or at least dampen it so it isn't easily heard.
So I hope this info helps some.
I'll review some of your tunes shortly. At work now.

Randy

Thanks for checkin' it out and the review. Off to explore the tracks and loops of CalifKen, haha. Cheers!
