As Mrbillionx stated, lol, without the hey this would stand alone as a beautiful instrumental track. I don't know if I'd chance ruining it with vocals, But I'd definitely get rid of the hey.
Cool topic. We could prob have some really interesting discussions. Is that you singing on this track. If so, you rock. I love everything about this track. It gels really well. The vocals and the backing tracking compliment each other perfectly.
Your talent is immense and your genius equal. What a beautiful piece of music. I wouldn't change a thing. A definite download. The vocals are mixed perfectly. The instrumentation are exactly what should be there and not a note more or less. This is professional.
From my perspective, I think your vocals are too good for the backing track, not that the backing track is bad, it just doesn't seem to be in the same class as the vocals. If I were you, I'd keep the vocals as is and rework your instrumentation. Just my opinion.
Othello is, of course, best in the original Klingon opera, but I must say that this version ranks right up there. The track is very unusual, not something I expect a lot of people will flock to, but I think it is great. You have created something quite unique here. The track is well put together, interesting and definitely shows creativity.
I'd give it 3 thumbs up. I'd give it my 4th, but I lost that one when I mistook a Excalian Modrapod as a pumpkin pie.
thanx for the review tho.. yea ur right def not something that would go main stream... but thats how all my stuff is real dark n unique... check out more tracks n thanx for stoppin by..
There are some brilliant moments in this piece. The buildups were fantastic transitions. I hear no major issues with this track and, although I've listened to it only once, I thisnk the track is great as is. Well done.
Well that was a very nice ride you took me on. I think the track is fine as is. Doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it at all. I even like the grunt at the end.
Excellent work. I look forward to hearing more of your work
The guitar is great. Just like a brass band to come by and hijack a song. Not to mention the mess they make when they come into your home with their muddy boots and then set about devouring everything in your refrigerator, even that pork chop you wanted to throw out six months past ;-)
I very enjoyable. I enjoy how you combined the brass and guitar.
The backing track is very powerful, love it. Personally, I would bring the vocals a bit more forward so they could be better heard. I like this kind of driving track and sometimes go in this sort of direction myself.
thanx dude actually I had the vocals out more but I brought them in a bit because I wanted them to blend more and add to the ambient feel as apposed to being more singular. I wanted them to be another instrument basically and not centerstage I guess
A very nice array of sounds that are well put together. There are some points where the "pretty" synth part seems to almost get swallowed up by the rest of the instruments. Panning it a bit to one side or the other might help a little with that, unless, of course, such was your intent. In any case, the track had me bouncing in my chair.
Me thinks the track is more along the electronic genre than hip hop, not that genre means a whole lot to me. The production and instrumentation appeared to be perfect and the transitions were smooth.
A very nice listen. I look forward to listening to more of your work :-)
As I have often commented :-), the track would probably benefit from having the vocals brought more forward. Other than that, the track is another great piece. The guitar works is wondeful and the atmosphere is definitely meloncholic.
I don't think the track is crappy at all. I really like it. I can't put my finger on who exactly it reminds me of, but I could sure see Zappa doing it. You did an awesome job with vstis, especially slayer. I fooled with it a little, started a track I have to finish, and thought it was a pretty good program. The lead guitar work was very nice. Drums were great. Lyrics and vocals worked for me.
Well, I don't think the TRACK is crappy, but the vocals leave a bit to be desired, IMHO. I've been upgrading my equipment and progs over the past few months though, so some re-mastering may be in order for some of my older tracks.
Zappa? Yeah, I can see that, considering I'm the world's biggest Zappa fan (LOL).
Slayer was alright for a while, but then I got Slayer2, which is infinitely better. For synthesized guitars, I now use exclusively Slayer2, RealStrat, DSK Electrik Guitarz (a freebie), Strat-A-Various (freebie), and SuperRiff (freebie) for electrics. I usually couple them with FL's Hardcore amp\effect VST or Shred amp\cab\effect VST (another freebie). Though I have about 30 amp\cab simulators, I think Hardcore and Shred are the two best.
Thanks a bunch for taking the time to listen and review, John. I really do appreciate it, bro.
This is a very cool track. The chanting is well placed and adds a huge amount to the overall quality of the song. Too bad it crackles a bit. There may be something you can do about that. Check to see what noise reduction programs you have.
It's been a while so I had to come by for my donmega fix :-) After listening to this track I do feel better. You have done an awesome job as always. Great track good buddy.
I like the track, but the vocal bit gets a bit annoying after a while. I would add a dif acapella to offset it a bit. Other than that the track is sweet. Lol, can you imagine a girl, even a really cute one, saying "you make me hot" with that particualr voice. I think I might run away, lol.
I've not worked with Spyder, but I bet it's a great experience. The man knows what he's doind and he is quite a talented musician. It is not surprising, therefore, that you two have created this great track. The backing track and your vocals are fantastic. The production is great. This baby sounds professional. Feel free to email me a copy if you can.
Bring your vocals forward my very talented young friend. Love the atmosphere of this one; very errie. A great Halloween piece.
By the way, feel free to send me your tracks :-) I do enjoy them very much. I might even give your style a try once I complete the many other projects I have going (the biggest being getting my life in order).
Love the track. I can easily see it as a funeral durge, but one that presents, not as a sad journey, but as the final result of a heroic journey. I can see the boat burning in flame as its passenger rides off to Valhalla.
Love it, plain and simple. Technically, of course, its perfect.
Thank you much for the listen and review, John. Since I consider you to be one of the best musicians on this site (and one of the best I've heard, period), praise from you is high praise indeed.
Flaming boat to Valhalla? Well, since I'm originally from Texas, I see it more as me and Ol' Paint: just two old horses' asses on that final ride into the sunset... LOL
I could easily see myself sitting in a bar, sipping on a rye and pepsi, watching and listening, mesmerized as would be all in room, everytime you and your associates were on stage.
