Slim Red Times (Fire Princess)

http://soundcloud.com/aaudiomystiks/fireprincess-slimredtimes
 
Ok this is the twin to the track Don't Mean Maybe.  It's a love song about the French girl I fell in love with, I think she loved me too but it was way too complicated.  We still talk to this day through the various digital means.  I still cry when I talk to her, she runs as fast as the wind, like me.  That is why I fell in love with her, that and her wild red hair.  We were true Celts.
 
The track combines my penchant for The Beatles, King Crimson and The Door's.
 
Oh and James YoYo, this is for you, you said I couldn't write two tracks in the same genre, this is def the same genre as Don't Mean Maybe-WEIRD.
 
Love You

Always an interesting experience listening to your stuff Ben. This is really cool and odd. I like the offbeat sometimes so very well done!

 
Thanks mate it's time to get to work, this is 5 years old.  It's so hard to get down to it though but it's coming.  I'm still stuck on The Beatle thing and I have a great idea for a cover of Across The Universe, my favorite Lennon song perhap's, ahh there is to many.
 
Love Neb

Song is interesing.

That is a good reverb on th vocal. Works well.

There is a bunch of overmods/distortion on the vocal that must have happened during the recording.

PS I'm creeping back to life, my nervous system all awry, this a Richard Wright Pink Floyd line meaning since I got rid of the unhealthy people out of my life I am ready for new work, this is over 5 years old and my friend who I wrote this for today told me how much she missed me and that she loved me and we had a bond that could never be broken.

we havent seen each other in 5 years but there is an unspoken love between us.

But I am ready for new work, I have a real cool idea for another Beatles cover this time Across The Universe, then I've got to get back to writing.

This is pleasingly deranged Ben! I agree with James, that's a great vocal sound/ambience. The mix is really nice actually, crisp and clear. Very creative, I liked it.

Well this is pleasingly deranged lol thanks James.  I actually remixed this last year when I rediscovered the hard drive that was not working started working.


So I thought I'd lost this song and it's sister song Don't Mean Maybe so I was glad when I got it back.


This was mastered with my beautiful A2 TL audio mastering compressor so that's why it stands up.  No matter what anyone says and me included a 2000$ stero mastering compressor with built in eq and dial in tube harmonics is soo much better than any plug mastering.


I'm saying this because I have the original master remember this is 5 years old recorded on a 90 dollar par amp and unbalanced input (the bass and the vocals) but look what can be done with a propper compressor and a bit of know how.  Also the TL Audio gets the yuck statement from some of the pro's around here but for pop and rock I don't think you can beat it.

If I remember correctly I used perfect space plate reverb hey cake this needs an update nobody gives this verb any street cred yet it's top notch.


It's also important to know how to use a verb ie the settings.


I'm saying this because of the compliments I have revived about the reverb sound.


Thanks for listening


Love neb

Strange and fun

Are you talking about me or the song.
 
You aint seen nothing yet, I can feel the fire's burning one last time.
 
Just got to pull my equipment out of their boxes and start.

I like this offbeat type of stuff. I really like the voicing changes on the "Your love it hurts/burns" sections. It reminds me of something I can't quite put my finger on - Sparks maybe. Anyone else hear that?

Interesting song though and certainly original.

Thanks FBB, it's just my Jim Morrison voice or my crooner voice, I can slip between my head voice and my bass voice.
 
Nifty trick though.

Vocals are mesmerizing and complimented by solid-rock psychedelia!

Most daring heart and soul here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate to sound timid here ... but

YOU ROCK!!!!!

Hey Philip, haven't you been reading what's been going on in the coffee house, you might be better off saying I suck!!.
 
Apparently according to Jeff Even's my music is terrible, I know nothing about mixing and mastering and I am living in the past!!!
 
Anyway thank you Phillip, I've decided to stop being a pure musician, I don't belong in the music world too many rules.  I'm going to do fine art but I have some excellent ideas for music.  I feel liberated now I'm not constricted by peoples ideas of right and wrong when it comes to music
 
Watch this space.
 
Thanks Philip
 
Love You Neb

++1 lead vocals very well done

Thanks guys for the continued support even after all the ****.

I'm not going to disagree with you Beagle because it probably does but hey it's just pop music.

Eat and Poop.

Love Ya Neb

I don't know what to say about this other than I think I will now need therapy.

An interesting look into your psyche.
