Brilliant! I loved that dark sound - I wish it was longer, it seemed way too short to me.
Cheers,
Terry.

Kev,
Pretty cool. Maybe Tarantino would use it in one of his movies. I like your harmonic choices. Dorian is still one of my favs.

Way to go, Kev. This reminds me a little of King Crimson in its textures. This could be the start of something big.

Wow. I really liked that, but I wanted more. I was waiting for a vocal melody to jump in when you hit that ska-ish bass line part. Very cool, great moody stuff.

Great tones and textures. I like the sound effects and the reggaeish beats. Really cool sounding drums at the beginning.

Ah a vocal melody ?! Thats cool,maybe that would work yep,with a bit of delay to match the ska feel. Nice idea :),thanks !

Hey ! Whos Yoko ?? You mean the Beatles Yoko ?!?!?!? Happy diity,you must mean the FX I guess ??? I put it there to contrast with the moody guitar,but sure it could easily be out of place given the mood of the electric guitar.Thanks for the pointer :-) Kev

Hey Guitartrek. I'm glad u liked it. It was tough mixing the drums,it seemed like there was a lot of bottom end in the mix already,so I ended up filtering a lot of the guitars low end to make room for them. Thanks for listening !
