The super cool dark vibe, as you know I live in minor keys and appreciate them wholly. Well done tune, and you can never go wrong with Bear as your wheelhouse.
This does have a Mike Oldfield feel to it with a Roxy music middle-period melancholy chord structure (Bittersweet, and a Song for Europe comes to mind) but with a vastly synth-based feel. nice work.
Thank you Cru, I'm glad you came to listen. Your kind review is appreciated. I really enjoy Mike Oldfield's music. Roxy I'm not familiar with. Now you got me curious. Be well and stay safe.
So what I like about this: 1. guitar, you are what you are an awesome bluesy somewhere between clapton and santana, no issues, no worries. 2. I agree on the percussion and drums, but I believe this song could use a tasteful snare here and there, and maybe a fill or 2 as I like the playfulness of going all out and then reigning it back in again. 3. I disagree with Manu about the piano at 1:20. It just sounds like an old upright piano and it gives the tune character. 4. Your vocals are the best Ive heard so far from you. and I like the doubling effect you used, all and all a really good track and fav'd
Grandma got runover by a wah wah pedal, ehh! Did I inhale helium??? F*** me that guitar solo. Those One-a-day vitamins and Ensure G-ma is taking are paying off. The vocal treatments you are using remind me of Roger Troutman a bit. I think this as an idea was way.. to short for what you wanted to convey, but as always you just blow my mind every time mate! to the point that there might not be much left of my brain after this.
I have been taking my One-a-day's and drinking that nasty ensure (I turned 64, 10 days ago) so I figured I need to start
carving out a presence here on LM for the Seniors, AARP and all that. LOL...
As always I appreciate you stopping by and giving
"This Old Track" a listen.
Happy Birthday. When I was your age I was just as excited as you to make music, and so great job on you for putting it out there for us to listen to, as I love the arpeggios and the 808 bass, really good choices musically. I want you to go back and lower the main bus gain and then re-master with a compressor/limiter so that the drums don't clip as much and sound distorted. The hardest part of music production is the actual production part. That is the key to sounding professional. What you eventually want is to find space dynamically for all these cool instruments you chose to shine in the mix. There are some free tools that can help you sound even better than what you have done. And there is so much info on the production side to absorb. But I really like how you approached this and made it work, so great job. So you know I only critique like this for the artists who I hear have great potential to grow and do good things ;-)

Haha, well technically it was, as it's in my living room :D
I'm trying to learn how to make it more studio, but I'm finding out that's also going to cost a couple thousands more in equipment - not to mention invaluable skills ;)
Thanks buddy!
Awesome as always ED! I love that sinister bass underneath it all. Always love it when U produce music. Guitars as always are sublime Someday I will make my way out to Manitoba.....Somewhere down that crazy river ehh!
Big thanks mate...don`t go to Manitoba...come to Saskatchewan (I wasn`t even sure how to say it when we moved over here) and look me up.Appreciate the generous comments,,,always good to hear from you...Ed
My word, just now. A rainbow-colored mushroom exploded out of my head. 1:26 we go all prog. This is Genius mate, prob one of my faves from u. 3:12 TO 3:16 NICE LEAD IN AND THEN ITS FREAKING GENISIS (PG era) meets Rush. Great Work
Thanks for the comment and the fave. I've been leaning more towards complexity lately, but avoiding metal and rock (for some reason), which leaves fusion and progressive elements (and a little IDM) to get my complexity fix.
Nothing worse than having to apologize for getting bass all over someone's face ehh? The vox is cool at the end. The mushrooms must have been extra good when u did this mate!. Wow. Creatively done as usual.
I started to name it "Bass in the face".
Bass all over your face would have been a
good title. Back to the drawing board.
Thanks for giving the track a listen.

But I'm glad you like the EQ. I remember spending a lot of time fiddling with knobs that I wasn't sure where to point them to.
Haven't made much music in the past, but I hope that this will change soon.
If I make tracks I will definitely post them here - thanks!
