Where shall the violin solo go?
Well that's so easy, right next to the LCD Television right behind the love swing and the pantry filled with rhino phalluses. GAWD, it's like you have no sense of space sometimes. Just move the box of retarded aphids 3 milinches to the right and you will see what I am saying. Oh and be careful not to trip over the acid reflux calendar nailed to the Ottoman Empire which might be attacking the persian rug as we speak. Oh shit I forgot about the chandelier. Sia...SIA...SIA..come down from there..SIA!! ahh that stubborn Aussie. She never listens as well as that muted Major Tom urn filled with his ashes. Ashes that are starting to go funk to funky, if you know what I mean. I mean where should that go....ah next to the Violin solo...see it's that simple.
Crulithium
The box of retarded aphids CAN"T move 3 milinches, that's where the mosquito pubes are stashed! And you remember the kind of time I had harvesting those, don't you? Each plucked by mouth! Fattest lip I've ever had. The box of "aph-idiots" can go beneath the subway poster of Angela Lansbury, naked with a hose, siphoning gas from her own ass. You know, the one I got to replace the one I stained,.... of Ed Mcmahon brandishing two yards of scrotal skin like he's about to flip a wad of rubbery pizza dough into the air....... Let's put the box there.
Is this the song that will finally replace "99 bottles of beer" as the family go to song on long trips. one can only hope so. I love 1:12 to 1:30. 2:31 that little distorted guitar part is nice as it leads us back into the fury. Holy Shiites...is that a space cadet full blown synth (like) solo from the realms of Acidonia. And then that ending. Nice work Evan. The only thing lacking is an electric violin solo! Oh and more of your vocals! They fit great in this song processed like you did. Had to listen to it again.

We could move the love-seat, but then we'll need another end-table, and we won't be able to find one that matches the old one, so the love-seat stays right where IT'S fuckin AT!.
We could try,.... JUST TRY, mind you,..... to put that corner-curio that holds all the miniature glass vaginas into the dining-room. Wild idea, I know, but then the love-seat can be slid down the wall to the corner, eliminating the need for an end-table,.... so,...... yeah, that's what we're gonna fuckin do. Here, zip your pants and help me push this sum'bitch. Oh,... you're busy eating an ice-cream sandwich. That's cool. I'll just slay some "Duck Hunt" till you're done.
Poptastic song. Key of Aminor and your basic Am to DM then to G F and back to G or a I IV6 VII VI VII structure. very nice indeed. Arranged fantastically as well as I love those guitars. I was soloing along to it on the Piano tonight.
Cru
Ok I will be the first to comment. This is futuristic and keep going with this. Compelled me from start to finish. I see it's in e major and I was soloing right along with this on piano. It also plays around with the dissonant. There is a lot right with what you have done. I can also hear the potential of this as well. Keep at this one. let me know if I can help in any way, I love this!
Cru
Agreed. I always wish I'd added more detailed drums and percussion to all my tracks after I'm done with them.
"Galapagos Tortoise....DoDo.....dolphin fritters....Rainbow Warrior trout.....fair trade chocolate..... Long Pig"
I prefer Spotted Owl Kabobs and Snow Leopard Jerky, though we both know the best dipping sauce is made from a reduction of the tears of those scurrying African children. Mmmmm...... despair.
I appreciate the listen and the kind words, along with much appreciated advice. Thanks again.
Very good work. my very favourite Annihilation track is this one from Major North. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7nfNooNMpM
BTW I use Audacity (Linux version) all the time. Nice work with it.
Cru
thank you for listening and nice words! I am glad you liked my jazzy style. There is so much of new music I have in my head - sadly there are many work commitments at the moment as well. From that perspective this track is appearing as something very far-distant to me.
I am looking forward to hear new productions from you - I will return soon to the listening.
First and foremost this does not belong in the weird category because it is anything but weird. You have an ear for arranging sounds together to make a coherent song and in this one you have just been brilliant at it. I could go into a rational explanation of what I liked and what I might change (don't change anything BTW) but what I loved about this song is that it captured me for 10 minutes of my time with a cool spirit and energy that was a reminder of Christmas but something beautiful on it's own as well. This Holiday my wife is not well and spending it in the Hospital. As I leave the hospital everyday it takes a piece of my soul each visit. This song has helped me this christmas evening to feel better. And in any work that we may produce the ultimate goal is to touch people emotionally. This tune touched me this evening and I thank you for doing that. Have a great Christmas.
Crucethus
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.
cool work my friend. song has an ominous overtone in it but well structured chill. Perfectly executed theory. My only suggestion is to change his vocals to be less re-verbed and they won't blend in the background as much. Or keep the verb and add a second line of his voice dry mixed in to clarify his words when the music is blasting at you. But really a beautiful idea and executed very nicely. fav'd
Cru
That beat has a definite retro feel back from the latin sound in the late eighties. The vocal treatments are awesome and the mix and production is top notch. great job!
Fav'd
Cru
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!
Absolutely love that phaser-pad. That sound from the late 70's is coming back again. (TY David Bowie.. Blackstar) Sweet Tune you have made.Nice solos from 2:20 on. tasteful and restrained.
Awesome job guys.
Cru
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.
I just connected to this from Brado's remix. This is awesome. The groove is very infectious. I love what you did. It's like electro and hip hop turned themselves inside out and back again. Almost early timbaland with missy but just freaking eclectic and all your own style. I have to fav this one and I think you really have hit on something here.
cru
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
what stands out for me on this one is the bass line and chords used occasionally give us a minor 7th chord and it makes it more interesting. It must be hard in this genre because many of the songs sound so similar in style and execution it almost forces you to approach it as what can I do to make my song (beat as you say) to stand out but not too much that you lose the vibe of the genre. Well executed
cru
not a fan of new country, but that being said I love classic country, blues, bluegrass and this sort of mudbone sound that just reeks of attitude and hubris. Awesome work and I can't wait to hear the developed product.
Cru
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. :)
Kind of feels eighties but also late nineties at the same time. (the drums are the difference). Great use of analogue sounding synths, a pleasure to listen too.
Cru
Nice long organ intro. Deep Purplish in some ways. Good tune. Hey Joe, can you sing an octave higher. I think if you do this towards the end you would make a stronger vocal statement. Otherwise nice work my friend.
Cru
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 :)
Nice Intro. Reminded me of In living colour for some reason. lovely string bends. 1:15 nice bring it back in. cool reverse sounds ( I am assuming these are the stretched sounds). Hard snares bring us to 2:55 and a cool bassline with some jangles. 3:19 has some time stretching creeping in to the song. Starting to get lost in the song mentally. Then 5:44 is a breakdown like I have never heard from you before. Hauntingly Ambient with those stretches. I almost wish it went on a few measures more before you gave us that hard guitar. It's like you took the Turkey out of the oven, and it's perfectly done and golden brown and were all admiring it, and then you go and fist it while cursing out grandma at what a lousy bridge player she is. Just a bit shocking for a moment. Ending was just right. I liked it. Overall I like the experimentation you are doing with time stretching.
U get 4 Shitting birds 3 french Le Pens 2 turtlenecks and a part of a pear I ate in a tree. or you can have 5 golden shower cock rings....completely your choice this X-mas.
I will now slip back into my slowly devolving insanity and bid you a good day.
cruinstitutionalised for your own good!
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...
