"Helicopter Head" - MRI studio track
think some of you have heard the demo of this before. this is the studio version going on next CD. more alternative sounding less grungy. also a little exercise here w/ youTube compression. i've been doing some testing, and it seems that the least amount of audio compression loss is achieved when using mpeg4 AAC LC codec @ 44.1 kHz @ 128kbps choose 720p HD for best audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAU58GF5PQw Helicopter Head

Words & Music by Daren Thomas Turner
Turn Around
Can you see
Three hundred sixty-
One degrees?
I walk through walls
I jump through fire
I speak in tongues
I dress up nice
I twist my mind and
Break my neck
To find my helicopter head
I walk on water
Melt the ice
I split the atoms
In my eye
I blow my mind and
Burn my bread
To find my helicopter head
Turn your head around
All the way
Like the kid in
That possession movie
Haven’t you heard only panoramic minds love helicopter heads?

Great job, Daren. I want that CD! If you and Batsbrew ever teamed up, it would be like Blind Faith coming back to life.  I love the lyrics, btw.

This song oozes overproduction. The vocals are a blur. The lyrics are impossible to distinguish from listening to the song.

Of course, after reading the lyrics, we're not missing much.

It is very good as the rest you have done but yes its a little to much compression here I think.

This is frickin' awesome. I absolutely love this. It threw me at the start when the beat wasn't where I thought it was to start with but on a second listen it all made sense.
I love the solid wall steel bunker of sound and the lyrics fit brilliantly. The vocal harmonies are nice and tight and are a great contribution to the overall production.
Great job!
Cheers,
Terry.
