New Distant Towers tune, Turn for the Worse

Tony, you play the cleanest, most precise arpeggios I've ever heard, just perfectly done. Synth work is nicely judged on this one, really compliments and updates the almost '70's instrumentation. Drums on the last few tunes are getting better and better mix-wise, super sound, really working with the solid bass too.

Great atmosphere here, spooky and melancholy.

Nice.. I kept wanting to hear the voc more up front. The seashore sounds were a little distracting. Great job though. Love the drums.

Hi, Tony and Tom,

How's it going, bros?  Hope you're having a real bang-up summer!

Wow, another dynamite addition to the vast, glorious depths of the DT catalog!  I absolutely love the "shimmering" clean guitar parts, the vocals are fantastic, and the bass and drums sound spectacular together.

I'm on my second listen, and I definitely agree with Phil about the overall Floyd vibe and feel, and I really think the mix is right on the money.

Stunning job, guys, have a good one!
Bob

James....thanks for listening man, much appreciated!!!  Preston has really been dialing in the groove for us, he has a great ear and talent for putting just the type of drumming that is needed.  Glad to hear you like it.  Thanks for the very kind comments.  As Tom is fond of saying, we just fling a bunch of s&(* at the wall and what doesn't slide to the floor becomes the tune.

Phil, thanks for taking a listen, we appreciate it.  Thanks for the kind words and feedback. 

Tim, thanks for throwing your ears on this one and for the good feedback and kind assesment.  We appreciate the help and the listen.
Mark, thanks for taking a few minutes from the tsunami of black metal you call your studio and taking a listen to this.  Thanks for the kind words on the tune.  Yeah, even though we started the tunes at different times, the last two just seemed to coalesce at the same time.

Bob.  Thanks for the listen dude and for the nice words about the new tune.  Thanks for the feedback on the mix.  It has been a pretty good summer.  Hope you are doing well too.


George.  Good ear, I believe that the bass is really synth.  Tom tracked it and I haven't had a chance to get my usual "tour" of the song that he does when I visit his house.  But yeah, I think it is mostly synth if not all.  Thanks for the listen and the kind words and constructive feedback.  Always appreciated!

Damn! this was so nice. The quality of song production on this forum has gone from strength to strength, and this is no exception. 

Great playing by you all. Your vocals are spot on Tony.
wonderful, wonderful song.

Mark.

Hi guys,

Excellent song. I love the clean guitar and the drums are great.

Great mix...all the subtle touches come through nicely.

Nice pic on your site with the "rabbit in a magic hat", too.

Very cool!

LOL ! That's pretty much my method too, except most of mine ends up on the floor ! Obviously throwing the wrong kind of s&(* ! That or my walls are especially slippery for some reason. Prolly because they're now coated in No. 2's !

Liked the tune - not as instantly catchy as some of your latest works (still loving Storybook - listen to it all the time) but I get the feeling that it will grow on me before long. I've added it to my DT collection for further listening.

Thanks folks for putting your ears on this one.  Your comments and kind words are appreciated and duly noted.  Every now and again we get one of these strange ones where I have some vocals that come together.  The next tune is underway though and Tom is back in his usual form at the mic.

Hope everyone that was in the path of Irene is safe.
