First, I hope your wife recovers her health. I know it's hard, but all will be ok. I'm sure of that.

I'm glad that you liked this track. Even with the disaster on EQ and the stuff that I didn't understand to asidRn, I'm happy that this melody have made you feel better.

Well, the first idea was to make a sad song, and I almost call this song "gloomy Christmas" or something dark. I'm glad have changed of mind.

If you want to thank someone, do it to Xyilent. Without his loop, I hadn't known how to start or what to do.

Well, all will be alright. Have faith.

Merry Christmas from Ecuador.

Thanks and I'll try!

Lol, you had few dark mod when you wrote that comment. I still appreciate you remark since its true this track could be perfect for waterboarding.

btw nice "new" profile icon.

peace

thanx a million glade u noticed dat much appreciated

Hmmm... remix project. You raise an interesting idea. Not sure if I have the energy to go back to this and host the project though. Definitely have moved on to other things now, with good reason. I will keep it in mind if things change though. Thank you for taking a listen!

Thank you very much crucethus

Thanks alot, Cru. I hope my stupidity isn't showing, too much, but I'm assuming the 'phaser-pad' is what our keyboardist is playing? I know of David Bowie, but will look up the others.

Yes, the older stuff does appeal to us, greatly. The newer stuff just doesn't have that "IT" factor.

Always a great pleasure hearing your comments...Please keep them coming.

Ciao,
M.

Thanks so much, Steve! I put in a lot work on this one, so to hear that it can compare to the likes of timbland and missy, really puts a smile on my face! I'm you liked this one! :D

Thanks my friend for hitting the play button. Larry

Hey thanks for listening and commenting, I love all types of country, I prefer the early 2000's and before but none the less the new stuff is ok...a little too poppy at times though. Whenever I try to write country songs, I like to try combine the older stuff with my own style...for better or worst. Anyway, I am glad you liked the track and I appreciate you taking the time to listen.

Thanks Brosef...I think this is probably my best Track overall. Even the mix sounds pretty good. Wish The Crawling King Snake, Jim Morrison was still with us and could add some vocals. :)

Hi Steve,
Thank you very much for your great feedback mate
I really appreciate it.
Thanks again.

Dont know why but i was sure that the intro had to be that long. so it is nice to know that you liked it that way.
I have the feeling that i should re record the compleete vocals cause i know that i could sing them better. And if i do so then i will test it with an octave higher at the end. And maybe i can ask Phatkatz to do a 2. rythem guitar.
What i realy would like to insert was a female choir but i dont have any female choir around :)

Thanks for your gentle words Cru

stay tuned

SN to tha mothafuckin' Cru G, yo.

You seem not to have liked this one quite as much as my last rocking track, Roar Stone. This was made out of leftover parts from it and is in (mostly?) the same key and same tempo. I think it's a much stronger and deeper track.

I really like the very first cymbal crash of the intro, no messing about there. I thought the string bends were somewhat subtle but you never know quite what will appeal to people (or annoy them).

My Living Colour connection is seeing some of them under a different name in a New Orleans club in 2013. I spent quite a while chatting to the girlfriend/partner of bass player Doug Wimbish, whose setup consisted of at least about 20 separate floor pedals!

"1:15 nice bring it back in"

Yes, nice emphatic stop and I'm really happy with the flow of the first few mins. It's all kind of the same idea - I just keep varying the drums and bringing in new guitar parts (eg slide) and stuff.

"cool reverse sounds"

Yeah, they really do have that feel but there's no reversing - just the extreme timestretching, with, at times, its rather interesting vowelly character.

"2:55 and a cool bassline with some jangles"

Not sure what the jangles are. Maybe from guitar? That's the first of only two appearances of bass g in this.

"3:19 has some time stretching creeping in to the song"

There are bits carefully scattered all over the place. Very female vocally around the 4 min transition section leading to the outright badassery that takes over at 4:18.

5:44 breakdown is hauntingly ambient and more like chillout dance music than metal. I totally agree that the transition back to the hard rocking guitar is not as smooth as it could/should be. That ambient breakdown only exists as a way to break up the hard rocking sections though I don't know if it has anything to do with fisting a turkey. But I appreciate your creative image. Those "vocals" in the ambient breakdown also return later atop the hard rocking guitar. Nice to also hear them in a chillout context.

"Ending was just right"

Yes, lady voices meandering away right at the end. That's a stretched slide note getting a bit discordant through its chromatic movement.

I have deep funk/ambient sections of this track that I left out and am working on as a separate remix track though it's not going very well.

Thanks for my shitting birds, Front Nationale leaders, warm clothing and half eaten fruit. I'll take them all but don't need the cock rings so you can wear all of them at the same time as you carve up the Xmas turkey, otherwise naked.

I haven't got you a present this year so will instead wish you and your Lady Cru extreme happiness and eternal health. Here's hoping they let you out of your CruInstitution at least for Xmas dinner with the wife...

Hi Cru, for some reason I just saw your comments. Thank you so much for taking time and putting some thought into Forgotten. It is one of my favs and it's so good to hear you and your wife liked it! Happy New Year to you!

Thank you very much. That's exactly what I had in mind. The staccato piano is meant to fade out on the characters growing sense of frustration as they fall into depression. It's very downbeat, but that's kinda what I do. Glad you enjoyed.

Cheers

TA

Oh , thx cru

Better late than never: Thank you Steve for listening!
Take care and enjoy the summer.
Cheers!

Your words mean much to me, since I know that you know your way around a synth (or a studio). I'm guessing it's partly the modular brassy tone which gives the impression of brightness and detuning. I would agree. The low note priority based portamento added a good subtle vibrato sort of effect... while the FM (Both F's) and AM added brightness and interest. I can't lay claim to playing all percussion parts myself (some were carefully sequenced with MIDI), but the ride cymbals and tom/kick rolls were spontaneous non midi stuff. I get what you mean about the colors, I think I experience that condition at times. Part of why I like to use certain colors on my DIY gear. Thank you for checking out the track, and leaving your kind words! Have a good day!

Sometimes less is more..
