dear cakewalk power users,
 
this is a new song called 'laute menschen' (German for 'loud people'). This one is very different from my previous songs. I originally to wanted to use soft synths, samples and loops only...but just couldn't resist, and added some guitars to the middle part 
 
for those whose German skills are a little rusted: this song is about these people who love to talk, no rather yell in their cell phone, preferably in crowdy buses or trams, and do not mind telling their whole life to the public! if you live in a city, I guess you have met this charming kind.
 
all comments, in regards to the mix, song, or lyrics (hehe) are as always very welcome!

Lots of sauerkraut happening hear. Good mix and vocals sound good, but this in not my genre so I'll leave it at that. Is this what the German's are listening to these days? Pretty wild stuff!!
 
Peace and Blessings, John 

speedtom, don't understand German at all. But this sounded great to me. Your voice reminded me of Talking Heads.

Dear John,
 
thanks for listening and your comment! No, this song is not what Germans are listening today, this is rather what Germans tend to ignore these days! you know - this is not my genre either, but I wanted to try out something new.
 
some things just need to get out of you!
 
Dear Chasmcg,
 
thanks a lot! Never knew that my voice sounds like David Byrne, but I take this as a compliment. Maybe I have picked up some of his style while working for David Byrne as a stagehand for his concert back in 1992! You never know where you got your influences from...

 +1 on the Talking Heads.  The mix is good, vocals are out front, and I liked the middle part where the guitar comes in.  I really liked those solo parts in the bass vocal.
 
It's been a long time since Deutsch 101 though.  Auf wiedersehen.

Sounds good Tom, not my cuppa musical tea, but the production is fine for the genre.

Dear Olemon,
 
thanks for listening and commenting! I love Talking Heads, so I am flattered! Too bad your German skills have vanished, would love to hear your opinion on the lyrics
 
Dear James,
 
thanks for your comments - it is good to know that the mix is okay, for this is not my (usual) genre, too.
 
 

cool song.  def. talking heads vibe on the vocals.  If you are a guitar guy, why not make what I think is the chorus synth part a dirty guitar too?  That musical synth line that first shows up around :40 would be cool as hell being doubled by guitar.  You could even add some more big acoustic drums for that as well.  That way it would be a cool hybrid of synthy stuff with a Muse like dirty guitar part on the chorus.  I've had a bit too much coffee this morning; if this is a dumb idea, blame the caffeine. 

You have captured many elements that show the Germanic origins of this, like my vocals I can not understand a word but as noted the production sound well here.
 
Thanks for sharing.

Dear Sven,
 
keep the coffee rolling - this is a cool idea! I have started out with acoustic drums with my sketch, but removed them because I wanted, for the first time, keep it as electronic as possible. For a guitarist like me a big thing. But I must admit that this idea has its charm. I will try this out after the two projects I want to finish first. So thanks for the inspiration!
 
Dear Wookie,
 
if your furry ears are okay with the production, all is good!
