Leon, another winner. I love how your production brings a different value to Ed´s melody. 1:42 the heart of the emotion of the piece shines through. The strings (as zacoos pointed out ) bring a melancholic feel to the piece. The rhythm is definitely Ed. I like the use of SFX as well, creates a nice ambience, even some reverse sounds. A lot of good production went into this one. great work.
Steve
Nice mixing and placement of instruments. Reminded me slightly of Bran Van 3000 (James Di Salvio) in the way you created this laid back feel and groove. nice work.
Cru
Thank You for your comment and Ears,
I am glad you enjoyed my track and hope you will do the same on some of my other tracks also If you have any suggestions to help me improve my tracks, please feel free to offer them I will appreciate them.
Again Thank You,
for your comment and Ears.

Hey Spiv, another artistic winner. as always love the voice and the suggestions you followed seem to separate the sounds much better. I can even hear a remix of this one in my mind. The melody lingers long after I stopped listening so thatś another good sign (The old Grey whistle test). A most pleasant experience you have brought forth this evening kind sir.
Steve
Hey friend! It is always a pleasure to receive a listen and comment from you! I feel that we do not always agree on things publicly, and I appreciate the fact that neither of us actively carries that into our appreciation of art.
I though about the idea behind this song for a good while, possibly too long, until the compulsion to record it became unbearable.... until nearly everything I experienced was in harmony with this idea. Have I done this to us? I can't say, but I don't think that I have that kind of power or control.
This is the sort of song which desperately begs for a remix, or remake. I resisted the urge, all the way through, to avoid destroying the initial instrumental inspiration from the contest. This probably was detrimental to the final concept. The sounds bite, and it could be way more potent.
I've been trying to work on songs and project more "one at a time" lately, and one result seems to be that I hear the musical work repeatedly in my head. It creeps into my sleep and my reverie. It disrupts my listening to other items.
I'm very pleased that you enjoyed that song, and I thank you for leaving your words here!
This is good. awesome production on the vocals. You have been really improving over the last year ehh? Myself, not a fan of the hip hop genre, but I can appreciate the best of it. I know you do metal. I could hear in the chorus a full on metal explosion vocally and instrumentally. good tune.! Fav´d
Cru
I think I've been approving quite a bit as well. And I also thought about doing some screams in the chorus but thought it would be too much as the music has a lot going on that area already. Might get drowned out or have too much going at once. Maybe I will try in the future. Thanks for the listen!
Well, I just want to say Wow!, great job. What I loved is the verses. They were freaking perfect professional sounding segments. What I did not like was the first chorus. the second chorus however captured what you should do with this song and his voice. make it minimal to bring the emotion of his voice in, and then smash us with that verse again. keep on this one you are so close to perfection.
Cru
I do like this, it´s a nice chord progression. The vocals need to come up in the mix. They are still buried in the back of the song. Also might I suggest dropping a little cash on buying Valhalla VST. It is the most amazing reverb, digital echo you will ever work with, and it´s not that expensive. If your going to mix vocals, you will need it. overall it´s progressing lovely.
carry on
Cru
I may have just pooped my pants. Lets just say that was intense. The Whispering voices juxtaposed with the tourette´s like whup´s made me think this is what Schizophrenia might just feel like. You sir are taking D & B somewhere else this evening. and keep on expanding it.
Cru
Greetings O´ Smiter of the orange haired despotic one!
Nice dynamics. 2:00 was uplifting as all get out. Loved that progression. I could almost hear lyrics for this one. 3:02 is another sound that I am enjoying greatly.
¨some taken advice from a guy with VD.¨ I have heard that syphilis + gonorrhoea X Chlamydia leads to enhanced hearing, and a really painful itch in the nether regions, or even possibly industrial music. ;-)
This one was ¨Rad¨ ¨ Mint¨ ¨Groovy¨ ¨Dope¨ copacetic¨ ¨ The bees Knees¨ ¨Bad¨ ¨Fu Shizzle¨ ¨I creamed in my jeans¨ good! to name a few timely euphemisms
Thanx for the wonderful comment(brilliant is so cool).Sorry it did not please you as
one might expect.This is a minimalistic recording not really intended
to break into separate movements but more into a wall of sound that the listener
has to separate.Not a genre for everyone,I know it's so mono, and as
a composition it sounds like that's the way you heard it. So in my attempt
to create a minimalism recording I succeeded.As always it's difficult to
place our stuff in the proper genre just not enough choices.Oh well ..
hope the next one is more to your liking. ..thanx.....Doc
Nice bass intro. Reminded me of Joy Division for a second. This almost has a psychedelic drone like quality. Then that panned organ. brilliant mixing. I feel I´m tripping and I´m stone cold sober! So many good things going on. brilliant work my friend, i am truly impressed.
Steve
Joy Division!
That's a huge compliment.
I'm from Manchester N.England originally and was a big part of the Hacienda club scene and JD were a huge part of that scene too.
Anti Nazi League were big on city festivals as was reggae and John Cooper Clarke was churning out poetry like there was no tomorrow.
Drugs by the truck load ...... Those were the days.
Sorry about that you just sent me back to the eighties!
Thanx for the encouragement Steve.
Tasteful chill-out music. Always a treat when you both get together. I love the trappings of the piano and the guitar and that subtle organ pad sound in the b-ground. Kudos.
Steve
Great Intro, wrong key, drop that intro down a half step and it will work with the rest of this convoluted and staccato´d sound. It´s interesting, but it´s not pop.
cru
This Belongs on the Sony playstation Wipeout 4 soundtrack. Brings me back an forwards like in a warp tunnel of nostalgia and talent. Well executed and done my friend. You even managed to capture a groove using D&B..awesome.
Cru
Nice musical commentary on current affairs. I hear Chinese traditional: I am loving the mixing of sounds and genres. masterful so far my friend. The panned chanting is awesome as well. I s that a North Korean nuke I hear launching. 3:30 it just get ominous sounding. Then @ 6:32 it gets interesting with that sinister beat and semi Phrygian scale. reminds me slightly of Bear Mcrearyś sound in BSG. Awesome song my friend. I enjoyed that experience. Nice sub bass end as well.
cool.
Steve
t will I have the energy?
Thanks for the encouregment Cruce.Hello Mister Steve. How nice to arrive here and find three of the most creative and talented people on these boards liking my work! I wanted ominous as you do in a potential third world war scenario but I also wanted a calm Emperor proudly defending his people and paddy fields his culture and dreams.
I need to shorten it somewhat. Thanks for the encouragement mate.
