My latest "retro-progressive rock" original. First mix. No biab, no loops. I played all parts on my keys. The guitars are Musiclab Realstrat and Superiff. I warbled all vox tracks with no pitch corrector(uh-oh!) All comments and crits welcome. The song is titled "Science Fiction".

hey Ron,
really nice work on the keys/MIDI sounds!  not fond of the distortion synth that is running throughout most of it.  Im guessing that's supposed to be distortion on one of the guitars or something. 

Thanks for the good words, Beagle. No synth in the mix, I think you're talking about the fret noise on the Realstrat. I kinda like it because I never had it on any other tracks. I wanted a big, thick, overdriven, fretty rythm guitar sound(ala Locomotive Breath by Jethro Tull).  It's easy to back it down though so I'll make a note...........appreciate your input........Ron

it has a very catchy hook, too. 

Thanks again Beagle....................Ron 

I'm looking for crits, reviews, and advice on this first mix............thanks...........Ron

This is really good! Doesn't sound like any band I've heard before and I love that. I have no advice cept add a little more bass to the mix. Thanks!

Good one Ron.  The sound reminds me of a couple of punkish/new wavish bands that came out of the Gainesville area during the late '70's.  That's a compliment because I liked them.

Cool. Super cool. And you did it all on the keyboard, too?
 

bayoubill, I always liked songs that have only one or two band "punches" per measure leaving a lot of air for the vox and storyline. I'm just starting to use the Musiclab Realstrat and found combined with Voxengo I had a cool "guitar" chop which inspired the arrangement. Thanks for the review and advice................Ron
