SMB - 'Larg Road'

Hi folks,

Back after a little break with a new instrumental;

Larg Road

Larry - acoustic guitar, bass, percussion
James - electric guitars, synths

Hope you enjoy, and we look forward to any and all comments & suggestions.

Nice to hear you both back and I trust that things are reasonable.

Cool tune and playing though there would appear to be a little bit of bass boom, which could of course just be a node in my room or the vagaries of Sound click encryption.

Thanks for sharing.

Very nice guys.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Larry and James,
Nice to hear some sounds from the isle once again.
I thought the lead sound placed further back worked in this piece.
But then, my ears are still in training. LOL

welcome back boys!! hope your both well!!...Tony and I (along w/Preston) have been on a bit of leave also working some bug-a-boo's outta me puter..but nuff of me...
love this tune....love where the lead guitars sits (quite far back) and love the keys...lovely!! reallly enjoyed it @ 240ish when she took it up a notch...

miss you both and love the tune!

Superb! Bass is a bit boomy, but the guitar is set just right in the mix.

Thanks Mark! Yeah, I getcha..some ethereal vocals would suit quite well, in a Cocteau twins sort of vibe. Glad you like the piano, that Dim Pro  'Alien piano' patch is a favourite of mine. The inspiration for the tune is actually 'Fleuch Larg Road', just up in the forest here. I didn't include the 'Fleuch' 'cos I don't know how to pronounce it!

Hi John, thanks for checking it out, glad it made your ears happy This is the first mix I've done in recent years solely through the Tannoys (headphones are busted), so bass is a problem in this untreated room. I'll see if I can sort that.

Rik, thank you very much. It was a tough call on the electric lead, further back seemed to add to the general wistful vibe, maybe it's a touch too far back.

Stunning. 

Glad to see you guys back in the grind. 

When's the next one coming out?

Hi Larry and James - A new SMB piece is always worth waiting for - and this piece proves why. Great tune and perfect musicianship. You set the standard for we mere mortals to strive for!

Best Regards
Malcolm

James, Larry, very nice tune
this song has a vibe that hint's at the promises of  good things are on the way
 the sound of a renewal is in the air .....
James , nice to hear your Lester get some air time

Kenny

Thanks Robby, I like your ideas about the percussion, I'll give them a try. I always mix with headphones, but not this time, so it was a very different experience.

Brudda Tom! Many thanks for the kind words, I'm just heading off to check out the new DT...

Thank you James! We do like to get those layers and textures working, an instrumental needs plenty of help to sustain the interest.

Nice sonic space you've created here guys. Well balanced produced and mixed.
What's not to like... 

Thank you Scotty! I think Bob may be right about the 'boom' there's an 'apentemma' drum panned right which is really deep. I shall
tame the wee beastie.

That's worth quite a lot actually Dave, it's always nice to know we hit the intended mood. Thanks very much

Bob, you're a pal, thank you kindly for all those nice comments. As I mentioned above, I believe you're spot on about the
drum being the culprit, good catch. I'm more than a little relieved that the mix is relatively OK, 'cos I'm a bit lost without
me headphones!

Thanks Ed, that's kind of you.

Many thanks Frank, we're very happy to do that!

Thank you Malcolm, we really appreciate the compliments!

Hi Kenny, thanks - a renewal - that's a nice thought. I have been neglecting Lester lately in favour of a new Squier Tele, but he came down  off the wall for this one.

Thanks very much indeed Phil, that's very kind of you.

Hi Dave, thanks a lot sir! I'll have a look at the percussion, make sure everything is where it should be.
