Thanks Frank, just a touch but both Julibee and I are happy with it .  Cheers for the second listen and comment.

Interesting use of synths. I would mix those drums up a bit and put some more snap on that snare. I was unaware that this genera existed ;-)

Thanks Robby for the listen and comment though I feel I should say it is mainly real live have to play them type Guitar. 
I used my Les Paul, which I made about thirty+ years ago, and a Fender Stratocaster both going through different Guitar rig 5 patches.  Bass provided by Novation KS Rack and a Roland JV 1080, squirly bit from a Roland JP8080, drums as noted above.  I have no idea what Julibee used for her recording chain.

The whole thing was then mixed in SONAR X2 Producer using no third party FX other than Guitar Rig 5. 



Not sure the genera does exist I just thought it sounded Grungy in a Space rock way.

I enjoyed this - I would say though that I don't think the vocals fit well with this tune - vocals were not great - IMHO.

I'll give you an A for experimentation, which is lost these days.
years ago everyone experimented, they were innovators.
you don't see it as much these days as music has become more commericialized, I mean it always has but not like the cookie cutter music I hear on the radio now a day.

the mix didn't seem clear and powerful, but I cant really say much, im having problems myself lately in this area as ive gone back to the drawing board.

it was interesting and I liked it, I even looked for the first mix after listening to this mix but it has been removed(probably by yourself after posting this one)

I didn't think it sounded like space grunge, it was creative and almost uncatagorizable.
which I think is wonderful, unique. original.

Thanks Mark, Julibee had a bit of a tough one she was more or less writing for a finished tune, thanks for listening and commenting.

Charlie, thank you, I think the mix is suffering from MP3 encoding the wave file sounds much more distinct. 

I may stick a higher bit rate version on another site lets see what happens.

Thanks again to all whom have listened.

Hi John & Julibee,

Hey, this is really cool. And also really unexpected...very nice.

Although I kinda agree with some of the crits/suggestions made by previous posters the overall retro coolness of the tune works for me.

Thanks Gary true there are some rough edges but we did it in about three weeks which includes the time Julibee needed to be able to find the time to write the lyrics, busy lady that she is and I am not complaining.  I was also looking for a slightly less than perfect feel.

I'm really digging the remix of this John. 

Since James mentioned the "Curved Air" vibe, i'm getting that too. I loved their early stuff. 

You're playing some lovely melodic bass runs in this that really enhance the track.

Jules does a great job as usual. I think some occasional spacey-type echo on some of her words word enhance the spacey vibe.

Great job, both of you.

Many thanks John your comment and time are appreciated.  Julibee was real good considering what I gave for her to work with, she added her magic to this.

I hear what you say the MP3 is not as nice as the wave some things have definitely gone missing in the encoding.

Thanks again, been listen on Soundcloud to some of your stuff very enjoyable.
