Mars Attack

Hey !
I wrote this track after watching Tim Burtons 'Mars Attack' For those of you who haven't seen it,its basically an alien invasion on earth.The aliens are really mischievous :) They say they come in Peace,but instead they create total havoc !! So the track is about this.Its funny and a bit jaded :) Please follow the link and click mars attack to listen !!
Thanks

    Pretty funny Kev, and very laughable for sure. I saw that movie and this is exactly what I would have done for that movie, as well, something funny and off the wall. I like the arrangement and the instrumentation you used for this one. Lots of cool textures, voices, horns and background touches. The mix was right on the money and sounds really nice and clear all the way around. Very interesting piece to say the least and fits the movie well. Nicely done.

    Hey John 
     
    Yep it left a funny taste in my mouth,especially the end where the aliens are killed of by an old (jazz ?) record :-)
    Glad to hear the music has carried a similiar vibe ! Thanks for taking time to listen

    I HAD to click this! I love the movie and have seen it severable times. To me Tim Burton is a genius. The music of his movies is mostly by Danny Elfman, and he to me is a genius, too!
     
    Your song captured the vibe of the movie pretty well. In my inner eye - especially during the bridge - I envisioned the three aliens dressing up as a gum-chewing lady

    Never saw the movie, but thanks for the tip - I will have to find it and check it out!  Song seemed to fit the description pretty well though - great job Kev. :)

    This is really a nice job on the production. I've seen the movie several times and this would have fit in perfectly.
