Rock Bottom (trance reworking)

Right, it's only a working mix but here's a tune I've been working on which is a sort of dance track with rock overtones and a rock out ending. Fans of UFO might recognise some of it.

I'm doing a slot in an open mic/guitar night in just over a week -- it's just one song that I'm doing. The audience is going to be a rock crowd. So I wanted to do something a bit different.

Does it work? Does some of it work? Do bits of it suck and need to go? Does all of it suck and I should just play some AC/DC?

EDIT: old version, link removed (5MB)


There are a few bummers in my guitar playing but I've got to play this live so that's what I did here - no overdubs.

Have a listen if you can. Cheers.

Oli

    Grünfeld,

    ok, this could work, but it's not really grooving. Leave out that 5th bassdrum beat in every bar. That's annoying to me. Slight changes at the hihats could help. A bit shuffle or so.
    Also it needs a fat bass IMHO.

    Cheers Melf, I'll try those ideas now. And yes it does need a fat bass. Man you wouldn't believe how I've tried to get a fat bass! I'm using Triangle II at the moment with a couple of saws (slightly tweeked "bass 013" preset). Any ideas (or presets) gratefully received

    Thanks for your input.

    Last bump.

    Drums now changed, perc redone, hats swinging, and a new bass as phat as I can get it.

    Nice one. Still could use more low-end oomph (double the bass one octave down with a slightly subsonic patch?). The ending is a bit sudden.

    Sounds very good to me. Even with the slowly changing patterns, still exciting. The crowd stuff is overdone for me, a horn section or something musical might add more -- didn't get to the end because my ears were getting tired, but enjoyed what I heard.
