You Are My HTTP (MRI) {dance/techno-rock}

techno/rock/"eurodance" genre. lyrics loosely about Ray Kurzweil's book "The Age of Spiritual Machines".  all drums/ drum loops are acoustic drums which i sampled & digitally affected. guitars played through Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier & Marshall JCM Triple Lead 2000 / Mesa Boogie 4x12s. my friend Sarah guest appears as female robot vocals in the chorus.

Words & Music by Daren Thomas Turner

Humans are such silly things
It becomes a ball and a chain
Wish they would all power down
Giving their harddrives a rest
Now I am starting you up
Pointing your webcam at things
Showing you where to go down
Into your vanishing...

Hey! log into my life

‘Cause you are just a website to me
Log into my mind
Come inside my head
‘Cause you are just a website to me
Hey! log into my life

Humans are happy then sad
Some do the silliest things
Some spend their time being mad
Some try to buy all the bling
I can be all of your friends
In wrapped up containers ‘to go’
‘Cause my space is not just a place
Under the internet...

Hey! log into my life

‘Cause you are just a website to me

    The more I hear from you, the more I look forward to hearing from you.  This takes me back to the Seattle of the 90's in so many ways.  You write and arrange so well, and you don't seem to have an identity crisis.  You also write some of the better lyrics going.  So... why make them so difficult to understand?  Maybe it's just me, but I think you could raise the volume of your vocals without sacrificing anything.  Your identity will still be intact, your style will still sound the same, but you'll be understood.  This is just my two cents, and I often said the same thing about REM, too.  If it's your intent to be ambiguous, then you've succeeded, and carry on.

    All the best,
    Lynn

    thnx lynn & shawn-
    yea i've always been a thom yorke fan, michael stipe too, cobain, hendrix etc... kinda enjoy the ambiguity & more towards 'vocalise' eg classical music.  words aren't sung the way they are spoken anyway, unless you're lou reed or rapping...i like audible lyrics in songs to be like trying to read crepuscular hieroglyphics in ambient lighting...where you can discern forms but need imagination to register meaning...then when one reads the actual lyrics it gives one something to do/think about in re-applying the contextual references.  it's like an artistic birthing process

    I am going to be blunt here. The vocals were so distorted and blurry that I could not even tell what language it was in. It sounded Swedish to me . I did not like the effect on the drums. The timing of the reverb is out of time with the song in places and it throws it completely off to me. And of course... dynamics man.. dynamics. Try em, you'll like em.

    lol actually i think it's pretty cool if they sounded Swedish ;p - you're right about everything though... it's a big wall of sound (kinda the vogue for 'eurodance' genre) but too compressed and little headroom for vocals.  the idea in the demo is there though
