John,
 
Very cool song.  Love the groove.    Your friend's voice sounds vaguely familiar, can't quite place who I think he sounds like but maybe I am thinking Pete Townsend'ish (Eminence Front).  Very good song, really like it.

Regards

what a cool slinky groove
 
kinda like if you married genesis with floyd
 
agree with the comments on the vox...
i like the IDEA of the effects, and understand the desired end results..but this particular mix isn't working as is.
 
it's just an FX choice on the mix....
 
possibly having a dry track mixed underneath the effected track,
or put the  dry track centered, and throw the effects hard left and right, to allow clarity on the vocal.
 
it's a cool tune

Thanks Mark glad you enjoyed.
 
Gonzo I hear you my friend and as soon as I have a new Fire wire card and a working DAW I can revisit the mix.  Thanks for listening and taking the time to comment.

Hi Wookster,
  I do like the movement on this piece. Overall I think it works. Just need to clear the vox as mentioned up there above me. I feel that the vox sound a trifle too small and narrow. Wizard synth patterns though.
I also like Robbie grading the efforts :)

Thanks Gus I will as soon as the new FW card turns up can not do much remixing without sound, my furry ears a amazing but they need input

As the vocalist and lyricist on After the Rain, I would like to thank everyone for their comments. The problem Wookiee has is that I can't sing and so he has to conjure up a lot of electronic wizardry to make my vocals presentable. We, Wookiee and I, have recorded a fair number of tracks (some can be found on reverbnation and soundcloud) and as each song is different he has a new challenge on the vocals front. Overall he does brilliantly and I know he takes into account what you guys say so between you all and Wookiee I say again, thanks for the comments as they continue to make us better and push us (mainly Wookiee) onwards.

I personally love this and I'm VERY picky when it comes to anything in a Pink Floyd type style. The song itself is something could fit into Sons of Anarchy or some other tragedy type show while showing their world crash around them.
 
I like the effects on the vocals, my only complaint is that I want them sitting a little more in center up front. If you handed me this track what I would do is throw PSP vintage warmer 2 on the vocals, center it more, then compress it with the Sonitus fx Compressor set to a low setting.

yea I really enjoyed this tune...I love collabs as they really bring tunes to the next level (in my mind)...and this is no exception.
 
very nice work!

Thanks Steve pleased you liked the tune, the vox has been treated using the free version of iZotopes Nectar elements and could probably benefit from being used by someone who knows what there doing
 
Thanks Tom glad you dropped in and lent me your ears appreciated. 

Ha, I think Rob (Batsbrew) nailed it.  I was thinking Floyd but heard much more.  Genesis fits in.  I REALLY like this tune.  When that "after the rain" comes in it is so cool.  Loved it, John!
