Thank you, it means there is progress

On every song I consider editing any of my instruments to accommodate the vocals. Been there, done that, a million times. But the song dictated to me to let the guitars rip. Nothing interferes with the vocals that I can hear and I can understand every word clearly in the song. Also the guitars are panned very wide, 35/50.

And I did give the lead guitar a break for the listener, between 1:30 and 1:33, lol. And that's all I intended giving the listener!! I'm not a guitar player, I'm someone who can play the guitar, there's a difference. I'm proud of the guitar, it's fitting I think and the sloppiness of it and cool gritty sound with a few stingers was too good to cut, it needed to be there, in my opinion.

But I do honestly appreciate the positive feedback. Thanks for stopping by!

I think most of the distortion comes from the fact that I cant upload a .wav to this site. The wav file sounds pretty clean. I also use a compressor on my vocals, which might be what you are hearing.

Thanks for the listen.
Im glad you liked it.

Tout d'abord, merci pour ton interet, c'est toujours interessant d'avoir l'avis d'un professionnel.
Sergi indique son acapella à 120 BPM, je l'ai laisse tel-quel ; sauf le deuxieme à la premiere coupure que j'ai allonge.

Thank you, Bao, for the high compliment. I too like Maxwell. I can only imagine the energy of that concert. The 90s; was a verry creative era in music. Artist were still writing music from the heart as opposed to the pocket. I feel your music is from the heart. Thanks again for stopping by. PEACE. T576 OUT.

Thank you!

Almost on the way.
I have one or maybe two songs i really wanna finish. Therefor i "only" have to produce the vocals.
And there are aight or so i just mix in a kind of a
mega instrumental jumping genre mix

Yeah, opened up with this at a show with Killah Priest from Wu Tang. My dude Imprint did the beat and 2nd verse. I produced everything else including the party for my birthday with Priest and some cats from Chicago. I'll be uploading some Wu-Tang that's previously unreleased in the near future. Keep your ears open.

Hello
First of all I would like to thank you for the kind words.

And of course you are 100% right when you say that all this genre talk is silly. The whole thing was more like an inside joke. Because, as many here know, I'm not a fan of genres in any form. And I'm usually completely wrong when I try to name genres :)

As for the song - Of course you're right, I put quite a bit of time into it.
It's been a long, long, long time, the first song I've finished. Although I started endless songs, I didn't have the strength or the will to finish anything.
That's why I have the feeling that I've more or less drawn a line with this song and now something new is beginning.
Some people who know me will probably already think that this song doesn't quite fit the "old" Joe Cramer.

Thanks again for listening and for your comment

stay tuned

Awesome, so glad you like it, thank you BaoBou! That's an astute observation, those were exactly my influences. NIN, Depeche etc. I wanted to give us the raw and visceral side of retro music!

thanks for the feedback mate :) ill see what i can add towards the end, perhaps some bass glitches or something :)

Haha, no worries. I would love to take a look on your end if you stream on youtube.

I was originally scared of streaming 'blank canvas' music. But if it inspires new artists I'm all for it.

Although some people didn't appreciate how long I took to do certain things...I informed them "Guys, sometimes you have to listen to a riff 250 times to make sure it's what you want for the song. You're going to listen to your own work a thousand of times before you release it into the wild. That is what the stream is for, that thought process too."

Thanks!^_^ Since I plan to make some adjustments I'll toy around with the settings. Then give it a test to see if it fits the bill.

Thanks BaoBou, yes the vocals are my own. Thank you for the comment.
