this song has a lot of great sounds going for it .
Love the guitar tones ,the guitar part sets a nice groove for the rest of the song parts to play off of.
I can tell that lot of work went into the arrangement …there was no static song sections at all ….
great tone all across the board w the instruments and vocals   …this song has a nice mix

Very nice mix, open and very clear! Cool tune as well!
 
The section with the strings and chunking guitars could use a little hpf on the guitars. They seemed a little too chunky and sort of buried the strings. Love the vocals, that student was a real find...

Dan

Ahhh Black Death Hand... This should have been the first dance at my last wedding...
 
Gave me a pretty strong Zappa vibe 
 
I liked it! P.S., don't eat the yellow snow, where the huskies go...
This actually rocks pretty f'ing hard. That 1st guitar break? Ending w/the chick vox? This is epic.
 
I would buy a ticket to see you in concert.

Tony & Tom - it's been a while since I've had the pleasure of listening to a Distant Towers tune!  I've always been a fan and this is no exception!
 
my only critique is taht you might want to notch out some of the bass in the vocals when the vocalists are singing together.  there's a distorted rumble in the vocals that is unpleasant, IMO.
 
other than that, I love the song, the production, the talent!  great job guys!

Man, I've got to check in here more often.
About a month ago I felt like listening to some DT. Must have been a wavering in the force.
Anyhow, I Googled Distant Towers and got my fix.
Today I see this song has been floating around here for the past three weeks.
I like. It has that signature DT sound, but it's unique in its own right.
I like the introduction of Joo Yeon  to the fold. She adds a nice flavor to your sound.
Very tasty stuff from all of you guys.
I'd like to critique the mix, but all I can say is you guys inspire me to get better at my own.
Welcome back.

hey chaps (and chappess!)
brilliant recording. one of the best of yours, which sometimes have a mid-range clutter, but this is nice and wide and open. original tune as per norm. only things I might change are to automate the reverb in the part before the solo so the long tails only come into place when the accompaniment stops, and also the lead guitar is maybe a little too out front. love the subtle keys.
great stuff!
