Beautiful song and vocals reminded me a bit of an old Heaven 17 song (chord progression) Geisha Boys and Temple Girls. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Edgjl5zPW6g&html5=1
These boys who arose from the Ashes of the Original Human League created a bi-polar album that had synth songs like this and soul like songs called (White Boy Soul, @ the Time)
You have managed to synthesise both styles in an amazing tune.
Cru
Sort of like..how can I put this eloquently. Restrained insanity.
So put together sounds with that subtly mixed screaming vox is so perfect that perfection has overtook the bounds of the sane. Creating an Insanatriptasticlymodalthang.
Cru
Nice work, pop from an older era where music like this would be better appreciated for good song-writing and arranging.
I liked it. But alas I am old and the POP world has become about eh eh eh ah ah ahh and no solos....sigh.
good work my friend.
Cru
Ok wow on the intro, is that an ocarina? As I listen I am just drawn into this so my first musical pass will be about how it effects me as a listener. Bass has such an awesome groove, sinister in nature. Chord structure is almost deviant. then that wicked guitar solo moment.(I might mix it just a hair smaller in the overall mix) But just a wow. For me the bass work drives this piece. The subtle sounds create this flow of energy to the piece. the other sounds are mere accoutrements that accent this musical art piece well. The sax is so well played and mixed. What I like about your work Dave is the attention to detail in the arrangement. It's almost a lost art in music these days.
thanks to this song I started to explore 801 with Phil Manzanera once again, so thanks for that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Plbbo6GEk0&html5=1
I can't wit for the hip hop remix..;-) just kidding.
Steve
Hey Steve in reply to your great review,I have just updated the mix and done as you suggested and lowered the guitar solo a tad,I was wondering why my right ear was sore! lol (bit of screech factor there)haha....thank you very much for taking the time to listen and constructively help in the production!..I still have a near mint condition copy of 801!! Phil Manzanera is one of my favs!...Hell mate if a HipHop remix produced some of the folding,you would see my high horse pulled over to the curb at the first baseball cap shop that quickly it'd make your eyes water! lol....again thanks for your input mate!...cheers Dave :)
Thanks. It is a good pack of loops. Normally there's only a few loops in a pack that I actually like but this one I like pretty much all of them so it was a good score.
Cheers for dropping in and commenting cru.

Thank you crucethus for your time and comments. I love composing music with a story behind it keeps the listener thinking while they dance lol thank you for stopping by Cru. Really means a lot to me ! -EazyBeatz :)
Europe appreciating it's culture together.... finally! I raise a glass of Brinjevec to you and ED. Job well done indeed. awesome song and mix. Really Really good boys.
Steve
Thanks alot Steve, I really appreciate this comment and brinjevec will do good...hehe...I wish the three of us would have a chance to drink it together for real one day in the future.:)
Love the white noise in the intro. Bass is amazingly dynamic in the mix. The Rap reminds me of early early "Aussie" rap like this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9Gj8earX_w&html5=1
very interesting and nice professional mix.
cru
Cru. Thanks for checking this out. Glad you noticed the dynamics of the bass (it is quite dynamic). Amazing how a track can become far more dynamic when compression is used to your liking. Just having fun making traX here in NC.
Very Eclectic and nicely done. I love when artists on this site are not afraid to reach out and go for it , sometimes. Avant Garde and very cool. The Dubstep section was unexpected.
Cru
Very nice song, I do agree that the VST takes away the human element which would drive this song so much more emotionally. I can see why you love thissong though, brilliant chord progressions.
peace
Cru
Thanks Cru. This is one of my new favorite songs done by Pentatonix, so I just had to do a piano version of it. Since they only use their voice, and no other instrument, it was possible. Thanks again!
Gritty, Dirty, Driven and just down-home-style rock.. loved it. Awesome groove. as I listen to this my head is shaking up and down to this beat. It needs a Chris Cornell like vocal to complete this.
great work
Cru
Okk Agree with other comments. very good song you need to back down the gain on the vocals and eliminate or minimize the reverb if you can. When I first started recording I was so wary of my voice I used to try to hide it with verb and chorus but I have learned there are other ways to make you sound awesome on this song. If this is mixed and mastered properly you would have a very nice song..
Cru
Totally agreed gaining knowledge takes time and effort, plus the experience of hands on...first hand knowledge trumps all....there's no magic button you press and suddenly it's there...I have less than a
Year of recording...and have owned my first mic less than that. I appreciate and need feedback, but it offers me nothing if it's not gear to my learning curve...
hi, thanks for your comments.
I just made another remix (the last one) and updated again this track! - it's quite nice too, a bit in a breakbeat manner. I started again from scratch.
You may like this one also. Greetings, Alex
thanks a lot, I just made another remix - it's really different now. You may check out this new version if you like, I think it is much better from the first one. thanks again, Alex
First notes of that harmonica made me feel like on was on a moving train in the prairies. Your voice reminded me if I combined Dylan with Dan McCafferty of Nazareth fame. gruff gritty and emphasizing the consonants.
Nice work Gentlemen
Cru
Ok where do I start. First and foremost good job, the eclectic nature of this tune makes me smile as I love to do the same thing. The intro was eerie, spooky and full of good things even if her voice is just slightly out of tune it adds to the dissonance of it. Your chord structures were gorgeous, again with a diminished chord stuck in the riff just made it for me. The use of a few styles throughout the mix was nice as well. My only complaint (small one) is I would like to hear a more complex percussion added to this one.
Otherwise brilliant song
Cru
Thanks Cru - I appreciate the listen and the kind comments. I take your point on the percussion but I tried to keep it dancey - I'll try some variances and see if I can add better percussion.
-clindsay
Very cool, Once I disassociated the sounds with my original I could appreciate your more drum and bass with jazz version. The Sax was nice and I liked the ending, nice work Alex.
Steve
nice double post:) - thanks again! maybe I will develop or edit this song soon. I wanted to make some sweet and liquid electronic drum and bass but finally this is an instrumental fusion (as always) - probably my second attempt on dnb ever.
really glad you liked my work, alex
