This is cool! A bit mysterious and dark. Great job with mixing in the vocals, they sit nicely in the mix. To me this song has many of the basic ingredients that DePeche Mode use to create their hits, basic and cool drumming, neat vocals and lyrics and just enough electronic sounds to fill the space and create atmosphere.
Hola amigo Wayne, tienes razón en lo de que te recuerda un poco a Depeche Mode, porque se puede decir que ha sido uno de los grupos que más he seguido desde sus inicios, y siempre me ha gustado su forma de hacer música, así que algo se me habrá pegado inconscientemente. Te agradezco de corazón tus comentarios tan positivos y tu apoyo. Que tengas una buena tarde compañero. Paz y salud.
She def has a vocal that can hold her own like in that intro. You created a nice musical bed for them to sit in. Nice sounding snare. :)
Cool change at the end with a neat ending to the track. I would call this a very efficient track, nothing in there that isn't needed as well as not being overproduced, well done Michael!
To me this has an old time feel, smokey jazz club, late at night. The drums are updated and there is some nice stuff going on in the background to keep me listening closely. Love that muted horn sound!
Hey Wayne - thanks for listening mate - always love your stuff and that you keep working across the genres so looking forward to hearing your next one - cheers
Sorry but I'm not much up on the trance genre, don't listen to much of it. I can say I did enjoy the track though. Driving beat, catchy arpeggiated/delayed melodies spread throughout the track. Nice mix, I can hear all the elements clearly.
Hola amigo Wayne, gracias por tu escucha, sé que el trance es un genero especial y que no llega a mucha gente, por lo que te agradezco doblemente tu interés por escuchar mi pista, eso me alegra mucho. Que tengas una buena noche compañero. Paz y salud en el mundo
Pretty interesting track, like the concept! So that's the author reciting it? The music is impactful, goes well with the topic. Sax was a cool addition.
"And an invisible chicken in every pot", ha, great line!
Hey Wayne - thanks for listening mate - yeah thats Charles Bukowski reading his poem of the same name (whilst getting drunk - he was somewhat infamous with the booze) - he is writing about the rain in the depression ... hence the line but yeah its a good one
I would work on some of the levels of the backup singing, the first half seems a little soft and the 2nd half seems a bit loud. You can see the difference in the waveform. Just a suggestion.
Well that was different! Text to voice synth? Interesting. The voice sounds like something from star wars. The words were cool and with that effect on them it really went well with the sounds and effects you created.
I've come to expect a "no holds barred" type of approach to your music, which always makes a listen an experience. Thanks!
The drum track jut meanders along, doing it's own little jazzy thing. I like the way the bass and keys work together. Interesting vocals/spoken word track.
If you go back into this, the one adjustment I would make is to add just a bit more reverb to the vox and lower the volume a bit to make them sit in the mix a little better, to me they stick out front a wee bit. I have issues with getting the volume right on my vocals all the time, it's hard.
Cool, dark themed track. Reminiscent of some metal around when Sabbath was king. I hope you get some vocals from dimestop! Some awesome git loops in there.
I like mixes that sound like the person is performing the song rather than it sounding like an overly produced studio recording. The singing reminds me of someone but the name escapes me. Cool, I like it!
Cool composition and mix! Loved the vocal parts, wished there were more. To me it has that late 80's, early 90's progressive/alt rock feel to it. I liked the toms/drum parts, impactful during a change in the song. Well done, quality work!
Hola amigo Wayne, me complace saber de ti. Gracias por tus cálidos comentarios. Me alegro que te haya gustado, y sí, tiene algo de rock progresivo psicodélico, siempre me ha gustado grupos como PINK FLOYD. Que tengas un buen día junto a los tuyos. Salud y paz en el mundo.
Although this is cool on it's own, I agree with others, a proper vocal track would be the next level for this track, great! Guitar sounds fine. Fake it till you make it!
Hey Leon! Hope things are going well for you and yours.
Beautiful track, acoustic guitar and piano make such a nice sound together. Then add some strings and a few sound effects, pads and such and the song blossoms into an expansive soundscape for the ears to swallow up, digest and enjoy!
Hey Wayne...how's going? In terms of these weird times things are going relatively (and surprisingly) well over here...catching some more composing time lately..:))
Thank you so much for your supportive feedback and a 'fav'...always a pleasure !
Cool, chilled out track. Reminds me a bit of the end of a song called Atom Tan by the Clash. There is some neat stuff going on, subtle vox, sounds like some things are backwards, and cool effects. Creative!
Thanks Wayne - I'll check that out cant remember that tune
I think there is only one small reversal on one part of of the 8 or more layers of guitar but the main parts of the tune repeats two and half or so times. My guitar playing is pretty rough but multitracking and effects allows some cheating : )
haha thanks for the kind words! I was thinking of the repetitive riff when giving entering a title! i'm glad you enjoyed it and appreciate your time! cheers!
