I really like this. I hope if you re-record it you do not loose the feel. Its got something special going on. Sometimes it's not about "production", IMHO.

cool. yeah this was bare minimalism in its quintessence. didn't even use a click (so we speed up a little at the end) i agree with you about not being 'about production' all the time, but feel instead, as opposed to other MRI tracks like Helicopter Head, which i produced the hell out of.

& yeah i thought the avatar was a better choice then the three of us standing like idiots trying to look cool lol 

thanks Bapu

Trippy is the only word I can think of!  I think I might have been in that living room once.  LOL!  The vocal threw me off.  I thought it was in a total different key at times and it probably was, the way you planned it.  It gives the song that "my head feels crooked" feeling that I get with some songs.  Now, that's a good thing cause it sticks in my head and that's what music should do.  I had it really cranked up and couldn't pick up on all the conversations, a bit muddy, but the idea comes across because I read your intro.  Gheeesh, this thing is in my head and now it's crooked.  Thanks!  :-)

I agree with bapu...I wouldn't change much. It has a vibe I wouldn't want to lose.

cool & thanks dude- yeah since we live tracked this i had a set of phones on both ears which caused me to sing flat, about 1/4 tone off in some places, more in others, esp in the 1st clean guitar part, which listening back i noticed gave it that 'tilted' feel...which worked rather perfectly with the 'ambiance' and theme of song, so i kept it, and emulated as best as possible when i doubled the vocal. I'm also playing through an old Ampeg VT-22 which survived a hurricane ablution so it had this odd unique tone that seemed appropriate, the crappy mic i used on it seasoned it even further- & yeah i think i saw you in the living room ;p was a great party indeed lol

hey thanks Janet, Vincent & Makke. i was almost reluctant to post this at first due to its rawness and production-less-ness, but i liked the concept so very glad the grunge-alt thing is somewhat working here & also gelling with the additional weirdness LOL - very cool :)  cheers!

Nice one, I could hear this as a movie trailer.  It is very unique.  I liked Vicente's description, 60's Grunge.   It is really cool.
 
Regards
