Alkie I also oppose war. But when people are killing my fellow countryman and their own countryman just on the basis of religon, then these people must be stopped. When good men turn their backs on evil, evil flourishes and mankind loses. The song is well made and well mixed and the guitar is great. Thank God we live in countries where we have the right to say as we wish. However misguided that may be. Ron

it started out nice, but with all of the effects, it was a bit hard for me to listen to. You may want to use them a bit less "liberally..."

ORIGINAL: No How pop-aganda? That's funny, I think you've coined a new phrase This is a very interesting piece and it is certainly clear in its message. I too liked the lead guitar work. Overall, I liked it but if were me, I would eliminate the repeating of the quotes in the first section, making the song a little shorter. Good job!

Loved all the guitar playing. I'd put it in Prog-Rock genre. I have to agree with tcaylor about the repeating of the quotes. Cut it back a little as it starts to get lost. Pretty acoustic in the beginning and on the end.

thanks to all the replies. I`ve shortened it and only used the speech once no repeats exept for the little blurbs, im thinking other alternative as genre since i can`t pick pop-oganda on soundclick. We have a show called pop-oganda here on muchmusic be really cool if soundclick made that a genre we could pick. thanks again to everyone. P.S robby what are u listening through, i didn`t add any effects i left most of the loops as is.

Alan, I don't agree with the message, but I found the song to be very interesting and creative. The mix sounds pretty darn good too. The lead guitar was especially good. Nice work!

On Soundclick there is a Battles/Disses category? I'm not sure about the use Political standpoints just for the sake of them. (You are asking a question about genre here rather than seriously putting forward a convincing view.) I'm also not qualified to speak about Obama's politics, but from this I didn't get whether this was pro or against him or whether it was protesting or advocating the use of force in Iraq. When families donate loved ones, with complete sincerity in the cause of defending their nation's political decisions (on whatever 'side'), I feel it is always courteous to consider their tribulations, it is right to expect controversy when entering into that arena. If you are doing that with conviction and a passion to reinforce a heartfelt view then you will already be equipped to deal with the backlash from those for and against. If the intent is just to be 'clever' then expect someone to say "It sucks". As a montage of audio clips it worked well but was about 2 minutes longer than my attention span. Those skills would be highly transferable in producing illustrative audio passages for video work.

Nice work! thanks darinbad, toms reply was probably that he`s not an obama supporter or a barrage of other things, it`s good to hear things suck once in a while it makes you strive to be better.

I originally had the speech doubled in 2 sections at almost 6 min long, My fear is having the speech over the whole song to make it shorter then i would feel there were no musical breaks oh well i`m just learning anyway thanks for your input jon Cheers ALANK(Alkie)

Alt Rock, probably. The acoustic guitar was mixed a bit bright. I think you could have those voice over element come in from left and right call and response style.

First off congratulations for having the courage to make this piece. It certainly did not suck. Musically it was interesting and I think it did a nice job of presenting the message intended. Nor was it too long. It is interesting that when the USSR fell, Apartheid collapsed, the Berlin Wall was torn down... I naively rejoiced. I thought the world had suddenly become a better place. Instead the far right Christian fundamentalists started a campaign to force all people to adopt their narrow and outdated world view and the American government (particularly the Republican) became the largest threat to world peace and stability ever seen as there was nobody to stop them. So now the most common reply to somebody objecting to war is to call them "Unamerican" or Unpatriotic, or Unchristian. We do not need a War on Terror. We need a War on the Stupid. So I applaud you for the courage I never had. I think its time for the sane to take back the world from the insane. You have inspired me to write the songs I need to write - songs about warmongers, songs about evil Christians like televangelists and those who support war, songs about misguided Christians and the corruption of the Word by greedy men and women who pretend at righteousness (like the extremely scary Palin *shudder* - McCain's running mate) while acumulating vast wealth through the blood of others.

ORIGINAL: No How Unfortunately there will be few, if any survivors in that war. Plenty of Double Agents while it lasts tho...it all sounds a bit like 'Catch 22'... And btw Shad it WAS too long I'd have defected long before it had finished originally.

Actually, I may have listened to the short version (did not notice that he had changed it till now)... so you are right that it might have been too long.

thanks shad, glad to know i inspired you. it looks like this might be a political debate thread now. Oh well if you can`t have a good debate about something what`s the sense of talking at all LOL. Shad the original version was almost 6min i cut it to 5:14 so it`s not much shorter. I am currently working on adding video clips to it so i can upload it to you-tube. Thanks again to all who listened ALANK (Alkie)
