Broken linky?

The streams arn't working either...

Zep--

No prob about linky.

Vocals remind me of Bono, With or Without You (the verse part).

This is probably related to the style of music , which I admit I don't listen to, so take next comment with that in mind. It might be perfectly normal for the style of music.

The percussion part sounds too busy (and clicky, like tapping drumsticks together).

Zep--

The mix is great. It's always astonishing to me to hear the different styles, not just of music, but mixing styles as well. Admittedly, this is not my style of music, but you obviously took your time and care with the mix....and it paid off. Everything is very clear. The vocals seem a little behind the mix to me, but I am listening on headphones, so I don't know how accurate that is. Good job all in all though.

Great job on the mix.Has a very relaxing feel to it.The percussion is real busy,which makes it good for dancing,or driving.

the production makes me think of the early Eighties. thompson twins, no that's not it, Thomas Dolby?, No, it's kinda Boy George, Wham!, actually a bit of Tears for Fears. Sounds very English. Eurythmics sorta...no I'm going with the Boy George feel, but with George Michael producing, or maybe it's a duet.

I like it! I like it a lot. Great vocals. Production is fabulous. Really. Nice work!


Hey, question for you; when you posted "I am the Walrus" on Soundclick did you bother to get any kind of permission? Or did you just do it?

I've done a pretty wild take on "Eleanor Rigby" and I really want to post it. I wonder if anyone who is old enough to recognise it would know it...although I guess the lyrics pretty much give it away...

R?

very interesting-you have a gift for drum programming (and loops). Nice happy feeling when you go into the chorus. The vocal could be interesting as well if it was handled a little different-kid of like an early Elvis Costello or Beck. A lot of it is in the mix-the vocal is kind of out there all on it's own right now. I did enjoy the different phases you went through.

You continue to grow in your production/mixing capabilities Eric, this is quite impressive. I very much enjoyed the tune..

the solo was played using the Cameleon 5000 soft synth....

Hey Eric,

I like this! A couple of things bug me, though...

1) The maj 7 on the second chord of the verse (G maj7 ?) sounds out of place to me.

2) The chorus needs more kick and bass. Yours is the third song I've listened to today that sounded bottom-light in one way or another, so it may just be my crummy listening environment here.

I agree with Michael - you're very good at programming this stuff.

Nice song, I like how you combine major and minor tonalities in this piece.

You've got some great sounds too, must be all those cool synths you've got.

I think the voice is just a bit quiet for my liking - I'd make it about 1.5-3 dB louder.

Rock and CapnS....thanks for checking out the track....I worked like a banshee on the mix.....so many timbres, so much going on....and only one set of ears and two speakers! Glad you both enjoyed it...
