That Day On Calvary- JRK Original

I did this song back in 2008 and have done some editing on it, but never got around to finishing the editing, so I thought I would put it on hear for some constructive criticism and critique. I played the guitars on this piece and use some old 12 Tone samples for the bass and drums, along with some Sony Acid sample files. With your help I just might make it even better. Please don't be to hard on me, I might cry!

    It sounds a bit chaotic to me John, but I'm guessing that was your intention.  Also, I'm having a hard time hearing the drums and bass.  They don't seem to have much bottom end.

    It bears more than a nodding reference to 'that' track from the Wall, which to me doesn't speak of 'That Day on Calvary' at all which I see as the resolution of the story, this piece may have worked better as the journey to the crucifixion with all the fear, pain and cruelty surrounding that.
     
    Aside from the musical caricature of an old Pink Floyd tune there only seems to be a relentless solo over the top of it.  The solo might be cool but I think more something more structural to pin the solo to and depict that part of the story may be required if indeed it is meant to be setting some kind of scene.
     
    Just as a guitar jam though it works a treat.

    Hi John, reminds me of Pink Floyd's One of these days from Live at Pompeii.  This could use more bass and it sounds mono to me. I would spread that rhytmic guitar part hard left and right to make some room for the solo guitar in the middle.
