Here's an actual song that isn't something i just jammed up. So the first "real" track from my project Severed Vesper, after 3 years.

There are some vocal click issues, especially on "b"s, but if i removed/softened them, i didn't like it that much.

By the way, i'm sorry about an earlier thread i posted about an extra track i posted. I haven't worked on fixing that drums and volume fluctuation yet but thank you for all those that commented. 

Thank you again!

Thank you so much for listening! I'm glad you liked it.
I've never listened to any of the two, but i'll do so now.

I love this song, but I'm not crazy about the mix.  It needs more cowbell!  Seriously, I couldn't hear your voice under the wall of guitar sound, but if that's how you like it then I'm satisfied.  This could be something that I'd buy, too, once you tweak it a time or two.

I agree with Lynn on the vocals.  Song, recording, performance--I like everything else.  I just wish I could understand the words.

I am not sure if the voice is suppose to be like an instrument and not really heard above it, like more background I guess. I wonder about the drums though, as sometimes those get carried away. So I am not sure about the mix then either for the drums stand out perhaps a bit too much. Different though, and I guess the title is appropriate - for it is and sounds like "Space". I will have to agree and disagree with the others, for I can not really comment about the song except to say that it is like "Space".

@all

Thanks for listening!

The vocals are intended not to be understood. So that counts as a success for me if it was indeed indecipherable.

@spacealf

I actually already dropped the drum volume 2db from where it originally was. Is it still a bit too loud in your ears?

With my feet firmly in the post-rock ShoeGaze lovers circle... Mig, this is damn near perfect.  It has elements of the Jesus and Marychain (my FAV ShoeGaze), Smashing Pumpkins and newer versions of the same.  There was some Cure type guitar happening, too.  Nice.

The change-ups are just fabulous.  The fuzz guitar is perfect... There is one point where I heard a clean high pitched guitar tone, and it worried me for a millisecond, until I realized it was just a move to a different section and it really worked. 

The lyrics are great, the vocals are subdued and melancholy and introspective... Perfect.  I'm bookmarking it.  Would totally buy it.

Thank you so much Julie! I'm very happy you liked it, and also for being the few who took a peak on it from Facebook.

The Cure definitely plays an influence, although i have never heard any music from Jesus and Marychain. The fuzz guitars ran to a TS-808 and a Peavey 5505 modeler, were quadtracked, and it's the first time i attempted to quadtrack without using the Haas technique. The clean guitar mix was a Roland JC-120 emulator, and is just a little bit mid-scooped because i don't feel comfortable with mid-y clean guitars every since, but i'm glad it was still okay for you.

Also, thank you for appreciating the vocals!

Nice tune. Took a lttle getting used to lyrics being intentionally buried, but i can dig that too. Great writing and guitar work. The drums are quite "Pumpkiny." Good stuff!
