Nice one Bat, reminds me a bit of early Styx.   The piano is a very good tool for writing and you have developed a really good song with it.  The piano does open up some possibilities that may not be as evident or obvious on guitar, in my opinion.   Also like your odd meter, which ain't easy to do with MIDI drums and sound realistic (non-mechanical).      Great work.

Regards   


heheh, i saw styx, back in '76...... open for kiss..
i don't think they played anything in 7/8 tho.
LOL
 
i like piano, that's the instrument i started on, i just rarely sit down at one and try to 'go to it', tho,
i should.
 
thanks for listening mark!

Nice work here, good textures. Well produced. The piano - just right and where it needs to be.

Epic song Bats, really like this. Cool track to listen to through headphones, I like how those Gilmour-esque guitar fills move around the stereo picture. Vocals are beautifully done, just the right amount of BGV harmony.
 
I'd be happy to hear some more of the slow spacy stuff, bring it on!

Bat, as you know, I bought the album. I think that can be my comments on your track.

thanks jdf,
the piano mix decisions, yea, that's just a subjective thing,
but i brought it up where it needed to be and faded it out where it didn't really add anything..

thank you jamesG, i was thinking about floyd/gilmour when i was feeling my way thru this tune.....
it's an easy thing to say 'i'm gonna do it like this', but not actually plagiarize.....

This is very well done, pretty much a professional production to my ears. Loved the guitar! I think the vocal could have stood out a tad more, tho.
 
Really liked the whole kind of mystical theme of it.

Sorry it's taken me a while to listen Bats, I wanted to listen on good speakers. Very nice song, mix and excellent production. Guitar is superb.
I would have liked to hear the vocal up a tad.

really cool song, bat!  love the harmonies, love that 7/8 feel - really cool!
 
I think the piano could have a better sound, but other than that, this is really great!
