"Following Light"

I don't know what to say, except that's great!  You're one of the few people here I can listen to the entire song, beginning to end without getting bored.  (how's that for a compliment :D:D)  How do you do your drums?  Are they sequenced or live?  The patterns are more complex than most people's and they sound live.

Fantastic track, one of my favourites. Got some Allman Bros vibe in the harmony guitars. Isn't it in 6/8 though, rather than 3/4 waltz time? Whatever...

Great song, as usual, Rob.  But I agree that this is 6/8 rather than 3/4, but who's counting?

Go figure...  it sounds great, as always.   Your songs just sound like you, through and through.   There's nothing I didn't like about it.    The 3/4/6/8 groove just feels great, and the layers of guitars are schweet.

Always a treat to hear your work.

This is the business
 
Love your voice Rob...

Great on all levels -- composition, execution, mix...
I admire how the instrument is dense and complex without sounding like everything is stepping on each other.  I'd like to learn how to do that better.
Well done!

HEY EPH,
saying it's 'great', is great!
heheh
thanks man.
the drums on this one, were done in Sony Acid (loop program)....
i output a single stereo wav file after i wrote the drum track,
later to regret not outputting individual kit piece files!
oh well.....

jamesG, thanks man....
allman bros, def an influence, growing up in the south, i heard this music all the time.
i hear it as 3/4....
but if you base it off the main riff, it's 6/8.
i'm not sure what the 'rule of law' is with definition of 3 time,
i count it "one-two-three, one-two-three"

thanks lynn, i appreciate the listen.....
and i never count when i'm actually playing, i just get lost in the rhythm....
if i count, i step on my own toes!
LOL

Great tune, Bat!  I think you channeled a little Rush in that one.
