Fallout Of Your Love - REMIXED- your thoughts?

The tune is def cool.

Nothing is dated anymore, just vintage.

Needs a real mix, though.

warning, if you're wearing phones or buds? Don't have your volume up when you start this. After I changed my underwear and came back to this. I like your song, but I'm less a fan of that fuzzy crunchy percussion effect, however, that's more a personal taste thing probably. I'm also not digging the synth that comes in at 2:24.

Lynn, how can you get your MP3 that loud?  Don't like the distortion on the drums - it runs against my grain.  Why not use the same part and really overly compress it (pumping and all)?  
I love how the song breaks into the bridge/chorus section - nice melody.
I would do a guitar solo instead of the mini-moog solo.
Can't hear the bass well at all.  
Overall, I like the tune and your ideas.

I don't know why I keep getting a GENSIS vibe from your music.  Doesn't sound dated to my ears. You just have style/vibe that is your own with a hint of Gensis.   Really catchy tune. KUDOS!

hi lynn i agree with voxbox i like all your songs  they keep you engaged thanks  eric

Mix-wise, the vocals are way too low. If you could invert the levels of all the instruments against all the vocals, it would sound a lot better.

I like the song overall. I keep wanting to hear more "substance" from the distorted drums, like a little less scratch and more of subbass synth sound going down. Agree with others mostly on the other elements: didn't care for the sound of little synth lead and the fact that this song reminds me so much of something Peter Gabriel would do. Vox even reminds me of him. Mark

I want to thank all of you who've responded.  Here's my dilemma, I recorded this song several years ago on version 6 with another computer.  Back then I backed up my songs by burning a bundle file to CD.  I have since changed residences and I'm still looking for the box  with my backup files.  I agree with those who say that the mix is too hot (who knew?), and with those who would like to hear less distortion and more vocal.  As always, I get some really great ideas from my fellow forum members, and I would like to take another crack at this song.  I do like the song, but it could use an upgrade.  If I find my backup CD, I'll remix and post again for your observations.  Thanks again.

Great vocals, as always.  

If you can't find the HD, you can always just start over.  :)  

Ouch ! I've given this one a few listens on different days to see if I would get used to it, but the distortion still makes me wince. I like the idea, but it needs pulling back some for me. I would be inclined to bring the vocals forward too, though maybe backing the perc off will sort that anyway. Like the song / idea though - very interesting as seems to be your trademark.

This is unique and cool... great vocals too... Well done Lynn...

I like alot of your sounds, Your song "Rivers Of The Sky" had a late start in me liking it. I know that song really comes from the heart. you have sounds you have in the bridge are outstanding, as well as the chorus. A+ music. In some way it reminds me of the doors. Not your voice, but the cool sounds

Hi Lynn,
 
Nice mix on the go here, have confidence to bring the vocals up a bit more + some acoustic guitar riffs could make a nice counter-point to the electro-rock vibe is the only change / suggestion I could think of.
 
Well done mate, it doesn't sound dated + the end chorus going off into the distance has nice retro-80s feel.

Lynn,
 
I think you have the distorted drums tuned in now, they sound good.  The song is really good. 
 
The only thing lacking for me now is that I think you should pick up the beat/drums on the choruses.   It feels like it wants to take off and really soar when the guitar comes in, but the drums are continuing the original motif.   I would ditch the distorted drum sound for the chorus, go for a big Cars 80's drum sound and then back off to the distorted drums again for the verses.   It would really bring some dimension and excitement to the choruses.  The verses are cool as they are.  Just my two cents for what it's worth.
Regards

Hey, Lynn,

I only listened to the new version, but it's a very cool song with lots of interesting elements, good instrumental performances and excellent vocals.

The synth work and distorted percussion definitely give it an edgy, modern vibe, and the mix sounds really well done.

Nice work, have a good one!
Bob
