I love it!  The lyrics are dark, but they tell the story.  You have one of the most creative and prolific minds here.  I can't wait to hear more of your "throwaways".

Sounds like it's got a lot of potential to me. I like the vibe and mood, the whole vocal thing..but it is getting repetitive, which is actually ok, I'm not sure I'd change the music up at all because that kind of works - although, from a listener's perspective the vocals need to go somewhere else at some point, mix it up, keep the interest.  I never felt any transition - just a steady 3 minutes of the same thing.  Again, the music portion of that actually works to my tastes, just need something in there somewhere, to go somewhere else for a minute, something....
 
It's still playing in my head, so that's saying something. 

hey bro just to let you know this was very helpful advice! thanks :) Ver 5 ( below ) incorporates a lot of your ideas of keeping interest.  i did it more instrumentation-ally, writing beats etc.. but the result is less boring and a more interesting and engaging recording imo -- cool.

Great stuff Daren - you know I'm already a fan
Love the vocal 'effect' - how many overdubbed vocal tracks do you have there?

sweet. thanks. ya i recorded each track individually- triple and double tracked old school style-  root vocal three times each with dif mic, each harmony doubled - one using condenser mic; the other, ribbon mic. so it's seven of me at once  just mixed differently in verses… second verse the harmonies are louder than the root etc to it's 'inverted' to give harmonic color … also none of the vocals are tuned as i'm kinda singing just 'under' some notes esp in the glissandos 
 
 kewl thanks again it's really painstaking and laborious to track this way but i'm digging the effect. my hip hop friends got a laugh me writing beats and sequencing so much stuff out. lot's of MIDI- totally loving Logic's loop editor- but all electric guitars are live tube amps going through 4x12's so it has a 'rock' element still in there amongst all the odd time poly-rhythms and electronica. three acoustic guitars recorded in small chamber for more 'air' and what i call "featheration" of arpeggiated strums and DADGAD open tuning chords/ vamps  

This is really good. The production and mix are great. One of your more interesting pieces I think. It's artsy!

Great one Daren!  This one is even more complex than your usual undertakings, but you really pull it off well.  Intricate rhythms and melodies, and exotic styles, all expertly woven together with your masterful playing and production.  Super!

Daryl this isn't a throw away song. Nice!

hey thanks. i tried to EQ the master to enhance the complexities / layers ;) - the out outro fade you can kinda hear all the layers "peel off" etc… various guitar acoustic and electric textures with the eastern percussives …. like an onion lol
