I like this one. There is a lot of space to explore in this one. Always a fan of alternative percussion. Song just takes you along at it's own pace. At 2:37 is a tasteful piano string bridge, invoking the emotion of the wreckage in the lives of people around, near or using drugs. I feel the bass line represents the never ending progression of time and is the anchor of this tune.
great work as always.

Hey Steve thanks man!..you totally got where I was going with this piece, the second half nearly developed into a quasi funeral march at one stage.lol I had thought about using some lyrical content with a hiphop artist but that fell through and on reflection I'm glad it did, it would work better as an audio accompaniment to some film footage I think, thanks again for your comments mate very much appreciated!..cheers Dave :)
You like that guitar ha? ;) Same one I played on Time for work blues, the black one in the center http://imgur.com/gallery/QZBjOoT Doom-Blues, perfect! Two of my favorite genres!! I need to make some cigar box guitar black metal now. Thanks Cru :D
I love whole tone atonal music, and this is nice, plus the midi makes it sound spookier in like a seventies-eighties way. I love the fact you are exploring all the flavours music has to offer in the theoretical world!.
I'm happy you can dig the whole tone approach, Cru.
and yea - I'm so behind on synth sounds and techniques that I will probably be stuck in the 70's-80's for the duration of my writing career. But hey, it's a great tradition to keep alive. LOL! Thanks for stopping by and glad you liked the track. I'm about to check out some of the tracks here in Wobbin's Halloween thread as well.
Oh My! really really good Awesome production on your voice, esp the harmonies. and a great arrangement, and as usual buyoed by your incredible talent.
all the best
Steve
Lovely dark intro. typical guitar mode from you. you need to explore some other modes (scales), but I am happy that you split them up with different instruments. It´s a better version sonic-like of what you have done in the past. but it sounds familiar. though much more sophisticated. if that makes sense to you!

I've been working on some different stuff lately, but really it still sounds like me, so I'm probably not exploring enough still. Working with more acoustic for chord progression. Something I've never really had. I appreciate your constant nudging me forward, expecting growth. My life knows few like you.
There has been a palpable jealousy of Canada at my house this week. Can you guess why?
War, when is it coming? War by computer, destroy the infrastructure using code. starve the people by decimating the digital experience. You have captured that here.
Cru
That made me laugh Cru!
What a description.
I'm 63 years old.
Old before my time with multiple spinal problems and it would seem it's showing in my music.
Made my day.
Thanks. You are probably right about the dnb. There was a time where I think this would have been considered Jungle. Everything has splintered off into so many sub genres that I don't know what's what anymore. Digital hardcore is fine with me, since I grew up listening to bands like Fugazi, Suicidal Tendencies, Black Flag and Agent Orange. Yeah, I used to skate....poorly....and my knees hate me for it!
Just needed to get inside of people's heads for a bit, I'm sure you understand that need! Now I've been composing on classical guitar and wondering if the sirens in the background are meant for me... Sold a Casio for the first time in my life today... life must be real crap! So how is Canada? Seems like things are looking up there... realtors here are advertising Canadian properties in defiance of Trump gaining leadership, but to be honest I'm just as fearful of a Clinton future. Maybe I should just move to Russia, to be on the right side of WWIII. Thanks for taking a listen!
I love the percussion with this one. Nice Harp. Bass is cutting through my studio speakers. Good mix, ethereal sounds never get boring. Jazzy at 2:43. Really cool stuff you made there out there in Cymru! 4:00 is another nice breakdown with some nice and loud synths. Two thumbs up, a bag of twigletts and a lion bar!
Cru
Pete is spot on with the Belew reference with a hint of Fripp. Your work on guitar work is awesome. Then at 2:12 that little melody line, was just exquisite. Loved the ethnic percussion underneath. But the melodies were awesome. Favd for sure. great work and a great listen.
Cru
Hey Cru, see what I wrote to Pete below, both of you are so kind in your comments. I can't deny that Fripp is a great influence, although I can't play any of his stuff. 21st Century Schizoid Man is a song I love, always listen to it, that guitar sound...and the distorted vocals...yes! So thanks for listening and the lovely comments!
I love the shuffle like beat that reminds me of of Germanic oompah like sound or tunes. This is an epic undertaking indeed. Drums and percussion were awesome. As well as using the reed instruments, and yet it comes across with a very hard edge indeed. Best sound of Midi usage I have heard so far. And I am not a huge fan of Midi sounds. Like a spiral of darkness descending down layers of your soul!!
Great Job. Antoninus Pius (;-)
Cru
"Dirty Euro" is ironic on the eve of the Brexit Vote, dontcha think!
I'm gonna use it in a sentence.
That sleazy FIFA executive paid that high class ho for a hand job in "Dirty Euros". Herself being from Wales asked instead to be paid in "slimy pounds".
"Salisbury steak was invented by an American physician, Dr. J. H. Salisbury (1823–1905), an early proponent of a low-carbohydrate diet for weight loss"
So instead of fading out the instruments, just slowly reduce the instruments measure by measure till you're left with percussion, that sometimes works better to get to an ambient feeling in the track.
Hey Cruce, be sure to check out my newest track coming out soon, it's called Master of fucking Puppets!
I get the impression you think I'm trying to pass this off as an original track, but, meaning can be lost via this medium so excuse my outbust if this isn't the case. If it is, do you not think I would have at least changed the name? or perhaps uploaded it to a place where no classically trained musicians dwell? Seriously dude?
Honestly, the vocal work on this cover is so much better than the original. Great job covering this tune and giving it a euro-power metal bent to it. my only slight complaint is that the groove of this song is ever so slightly less than the original. But great job on the cover!
Cru
Yeah this is good. I agree with silverman as this does have a billy dragon like sound. Commercial, absolutely, but smartly put together. Great chord combo. Almost not a fan of the sidechaining, takes away from the brilliance of the chord structure. Thanks for sharing.
Cru
Veryv good, I was aghast when meatloaf passed out last night in Edmonton, I mean not another one , he is 68, but he is recovering. I guess the reality of this existence is that at some point we don't exist anymore, so cherish the time you have!
Cru
Hi Cru,
Hope Meatloaf is well now! I know that he has suffered from exhaustion before.
Yeah bro make every day count, spread the kindness, inspire and encourage all those around you.
Be strong Cru - B.
Sorry to hear about your loss. Music is great therapy. This is awesome trance. I can feel the emotion. That's the best music. You just getting back to the vibe that you love the most and just putting out there, raw and unfettered. My Dad will turn 80 Aug 13th. I am planning to surprise him by going to see him in NY this year from Ottawa and he doesn't know I am coming. I know that Time is working against us at this point. I am here for you mate ! great work
Cru
Many thanks Crucethus. Music definetly helps me a lot now. I tried to put in some emotion without overdoing it. Although the heavy saw synth might be a bit much I found it good for bringing over the emotion if you know what I mean :p
This is a cool trip. The bass line almost mirrors a snare drum pattern cadence used by the military bands of the west. Then we have crazy sitars backed by a soft drone. Then a sino like modal pattern with those midi guitars. 2:30 is like new age pattern from the late eighties early nineties. 3:22 those monks return with real snares. cool convergence of sounds very creative and I like how it's like a journey. Nice "ting" for the end.
Great job.
thoroughly enjoyed that one.
