wow, wonderful performances! the pieces from this set have been consistently brilliant. this makes me think of birdsongs of the mesozoic, but i like this better, it’s less blocky-sounding.

Thanks, Mr X. the reports come fast and furious as the assault on reality is relentless in these parts. I do my part to shine a beacon of truth in my music, ehh?

on Oh Child of Mine by spearcarrier

very cool writing, the imagery is hard and mythic. perf and instrumentation are ace, backing vox and fx really well-done! autoharp + american gothic makes me think of rennie from handsome family, i mean that as a compliment — you are your own creature.

damn this is snappy. but i get a picture like a madison ave street scene where the suits just walk on by! aww... that can’t be right.
clean and brisk playing, the stereo image is really fine too. a gem, brother!

on Snakepit play feat LilCadeGoCrazy and 0Equinox0 by Guld83

interesting dynamics, i like it a lot esp the presence it adds to the vox. the limited sound range is cool on the synths too, but the drums do sound a bit muffled — maybe they could be brightened just a little? overall, a cool experimental track, i dig it!

xstokes 30th Oct 2020 20:51 - 5 years ago

on O Death by spearcarrier

cool rendition, i like the drumming and vocals. i don’t thing i’ve heard this sung with such vivacity before, and that is to your credit, along with your clear phrasing. thanks for sharing this and keep creating!

We have a new confinement as of midnight last night probably until January. Luckily I had a second covid related track almost done last confinement but put it aside because I naively thought we were done :D.
