Cool of the Day

I did this a bit ago with one of my favorite vocalists.   The end section is a spin-off of Yes' "Relayer" album...if anyone remembers that.  Up-tempo, rock and roll....

    I think you scared those birds away. No wait, they came back, and they brought a demonic child with them. Ok!
     
    I really like those guitar riffs! How are you reverbing them? They seem just a bit less present than I kind of expected. It's a wall of guitar power chord thing, right? Do you have a heavy flange or comb-filtering thing going on?
     
    Everything else in your mix seems to work a treat. Ear candy in abundance (really really cool ear candy!) percussion and drums, cool panning stuff - really well thought-out and a treat to listen to.
     
    I did think the first verse of vocals could be brought up front/louder a little bit, the words sink into the guitars and I couldn't hear what they were all the time. The rest of the song, this isn't a problem.
     
    well done!
     
    cheers,
    -Tom

    Great sound -- loved the intro -- crunchy guitars...what's not to like, right?  Bass is terrific and the singer is very good.  The drums sound fantastic.  All in all, very well done and I like that it has a subtle swing to it underneath the rawking sounds.

    This is very Creative Music and I'm happy I got the chance to give your tune a listen
    I like where you took everything and I certainly applaud you for not producing this as an ordinary run of the mill type of thing / true to the mold / genre   ...
    You kept me on my toes when you dished out what seemed familiar at first and brought the production to places I was not expecting ...
    The cool thing was is you made some great decisions and introduced a lot of musical / production elements I would miss after hearing this tune once..if they were no longer present ..singer sounds very good ..so do the guitars
    all the best ,

    I can see why she's a favorite - great voice.
    Well produced and mixed track.

    thx guys. Some really positive feedback and appreciate the time listening and then commenting.  I felt it might be a bit long winded and tried to keep things moving along.

    Very cool stuff!   It's got a nice solid groove happening while the stuff happening over top is well layered and a bit prog-ish - cool combination! 
     
     

    PS... I didn't get the Relayer connection at the end though.  Heard a little Close to the Edge with the birds and Fragile with the footsteps (yes, I know Yes ).
