Very good, like a mix of future house and big house (without the annoying elements of that genre). I can see the floor absolutely going nuts for this one. great job. The percussion builds perfectly. And your drops are great as well. Really good job executing the arrangement of this one. Not sure about the drum fill at the end unless your just making sure were paying attention..;-)
Cru
Just peeked in to have a listen. Yeah.... the future is in good hands, you are moving house and dance in to what I think the future of it will be. Bright shiny sounds that are smooth production wise with a hint of chip tune sounds to give a nice homage to the video game set of yesteryear.
I will be paying attention.

To me this is an interesting juxtaposition of american blues and european accordion that would make an awesome intro to a heavy thrash metal tune. If you keep going with the chord changes as heavy guitar riffs and add some blast drums this could become a very interesting song.
I am not a real good guitar payer and i dont know why but i dont think that i could change it cause i love it like it is. But feel free to do so and if you need i will send you the accordion steem
Lovecraft just twitched in his grave...and so did I. Very magnanimous song! Sorry have to go Cuthlulu is yelling at me to make the hor d'oeuvres for the guests or he will inflict Pimoa spiders upon my being... ghastly!!
Cru
nice chord structure in the intro.good solo start not too intricate, starts to create a melody. That is some extreme wah, but not to be undersold the drums are very stong. this needs some vocals indeed....as I am writing that, we get some spoken words.. nice, but not enough. 3:02 needs an ##### kicking guitar solo. This is a perfect example of a good song that needs the screaming vocalist and the lead guitarist in action too complete it.\good work.
Cru
I totaly agree with you. I have one guitar that I actually never use besides when I'm drunk and also I've got an really great microphone that would use if I ever get the guts to try the vocals on my own.
4 stars from me. I love the groove. But the stutter vox is excellent and gives the track it's moments of minimalism as you build with a lot of staccato sounds. I would love to hear a long drawn out remix of this one for the deep club set. Great work though!
Cru
Love that rhodes piano, then we get hit with that bass line. then the spaceman dirty blues guitar. I love the usage of this pella. So different from what I used in "House Witch" (which was a partial usage of the opening phrase. You bring out the emotion in a blues-psychedelic way with the voice in your arrangement. The sax and guitar answer session at 2:16 is momentous. I didn't want it to end so soon!
Ciao Steve
I don't know, something about this one made me go back and want to listen to old KISS like strutter and deuce. I like the straight ahead style of this one. good work.
Great tune,awesome vocals, it's mixed so well. I am a huge fan of DVD audio and have a question about when you mix to 5.1. Do you start at a sample rate of 96k or 48k and 24 bit, and dumb it down for the stereo mp3 mix. Or do you just do a surround mix in 44k 16 bit?
Steve
I'll tell you my process and hope I answer your question. I use Sonar X3 Producer for my DAW and do all my tracks as stereo. After I get a sound that I'm fairly happy with, I decide what tracks go where, i.e. vocals on center speaker, strings on rear and so forth and set Sonar accordingly. I, than, bring it into WavePad editor in 96K, 24 bit and visually inspect it and fade in or out as needed then save it to .wav, .flac and mp3. I have to check it on my surround system, since the system I use for mixing is in stereo. I, again, edit the mix from there. I'm still fairly new at this, but I've been happy with the results so far. LMK any other question you may have.
Yes the guitar is good, but that bass is phenomenal as well. I do love those guitar harmonies you produced. A very liquid song to listen too. Slightly Trippy at points but I think it belongs in Chill and not cinematic. Fantastic artistry though, very impressed congratulations on a fine job! Gets a fav on this end. Oh and congrats on the name change!
Cru
Thankyou Cru,those words mean a lot coming from you,glad you appreciate my efforts on this one.Yes I believe chill is where it should be actually,it's amazing how difficult it is to understand ones work as it developes sometimes don't you think?
Welcome back, I think this is a great summer-like tune. great use of the pella and good overall mix. Bro step lite with electro tendencies and very radio friendly.
good work
good luck with it!
Cru
Brilliant in it's execution and your vocal delivery amazes me, you take on a few diffrernt voices. You have successfully translated Paranoid schizoid tendencies to synth based analogue sounding music. well done
Steve
Hey Steve, thank you for your kind words regarding this song! It was an important one to me for sure. The vocal delivery is maybe not as spectacular as it could have been if I'd had more time to spend, but I am happy with it. I did not want the unfinished album sitting there waiting if I ended up in jail... fortunately that did not happen. Since one cannot predict the future (in many cases), it is best not to count on "luck" to smile upon us. The song does sound rather schizoid in it's focus shifting, and I guess it's appropriate that way. I really appreciate you listening!
Nice Intro.....Dark beats, ;53 seconds to start to hear that Oort cloud jazzy sound and Kuiper belt guitar. dreamy dare I say Celestial. 2:40 is a small breakdown in the chord structure and nicely welcomed by greys on the planet Nibiru. Nice ambient effects from the planet of Eno! Keys sound like the asteroids gently caressing Gaia to create diaplectic glass like sounds. Well done!
enjoyed that ride!
Cru
Hey Cru..thanks for listening man! It never ceases to amaze me that cinematographers always give objects moving in space sounds of their passage...I guess I'm no different! lol though this track was created while envisioning floating in a tin can and thinking there was something that I could do....glad you liked it mate, cheers Dave :)
First off you are correct, that is a cool drum lick. Second, that is some fine tasty piano chords (nice key change in the middle you gave us as well) that you have given us. I was having some fun jammin a piano solo over this while listening. good work.
Cru
Hey Cru... thanks for listening. Man, I would love to hear your piano solo on top of this track. I certainly left a lot of room for other instruments. I need to find a vocalist to sing to it.
Wow this one goes all over the place but it fits nicely in a sort of acid trip. Nicely mixed and very Avant Garde. What are your musical influences?
Cru
Thank you! I had some problems with the mix (clippings, clippings evrywhere :D), but the result is fair i think, despite i'm total dumb for it. :)
My musical influences? Really dunno. A bit everything what i hear.
David Bowie for sure. I don't really like his voice. I don't really like his music. He had some really crazy tracks with horrible disharmony what gives me unpleasant feelings and want him to stop it. But still, when i hear them, still listening from the intro to the outro, and i can remind them several years later too.
Other ones are the good old C-64 chiptunes, which means my whole youth to me.
And offcourse, the loopers on the site. Using only loops, its unavoidable. :)
