Spaceships and Cowboys (original track)
Hi all, This is a song I used to do in a band 20 years ago. Myself and the singer recorded parts of this (barebones, guitar/vocal) 10 years ago and it was left unfinished. I recently found it and thought I'd finish it off! All done in Sonar. http://www.revintage.co.uk/radius/Spaceships_and_Cowboys_MP3.mp3 Would be interested to hear from some fresh ears. Ta!

Really Nice! I could hear this blasting from the radio. Great chorus, hook lines and song arrangement with a very charming vocal. The mix translates very well over here.
Cheers,
Daniel

What did you use for drums? They sound very real.
Sure is a well-done mix. The guitars mixed together kind of overwhelm the vocals a little bit in the chorus, but who cares really. Vocals are super solid, great performance! Kind of like a nice blend between Sixpence None the Richer, and the Samples!!! A real treat to listen to, thanks for reincarnating this.

Thank you for your kind words! Drums are BFD3 with the midi data played in 'live' on a Roland TD3 back when we did the original recording. All guitar amp emulation, NI ACBox and Twang Combos and TH3 on bass and the intro guitars. Thanks again everyone.

I couldn't not listen with that title...  Sounds good here! It's got a warm, organic vibe to it, and even though there are lots of layers there's still a good sense of clarity. And the lyrics are a trip.
