I love Yes...so to me it's a good thing...
jsaras
That's a good thing in my book!
ok guys, cool, LOL, i'll just roll with that one!
gonna put on 'close to the edge' now.......

Nice.
I listened at medium volume on my D5's:
Like the intro. Sub lows are perfect.
Killer guitar riffs and panning.
Vocals are performed really well but:Vocals are too soft and have too much sibilance IMO. They sound too compressed - too small.
hi rimshot, thanks for the review...
sub lows were almost a guess, i did some 'strange' things with my playback rig to approximate enough lows to make educated guesses at the sub lows....
i lost a lot of the sub low from john's original tracks, but they were super extended, and sounded awesome just on their own...
vocals, yes, i flip flopped on where to leave those level wise,
but ultimately i just wanted to hear them where they are....
i understand most folks want hotter vocals, typically....
if i went back and remixed any of this,
i have some 'new tricks' i would apply to the vox, that would probably make them sit better, bigger and a bit louder...
so thanks for the ideas on this...

Hey bats,
Different is an understatement. Really liked this one. Are you and Wookiee gonna have a battle of the synth moods now?
battle of the synth moods....
would make an awesome song title, eh?!
if i use that, i'll give you a song writing credit, no problem!
heheh
i'd surely like to do another collab with john,
it'd just have to fall into place, sorta like this one did.
String Jammer
Great stuff! It's like Pink Floyd on steroids!
YES! floyd on steroids,
that will be my future explanation of what i'm going after.......

Synths, that's what's been missing! Wookie + Bat, a dream collab.
Not that your previous body of work hasn't been excellent, but this could take the Bat's Brew brand to the next level. I hope this will be the new direction for your next album.
i do love the synths.
and, i play keyboards, that's what i started on!
but i rarely fire up my few vst's and my little maudio key rig.....
but i should, i guess.
i have several songs in my catelog that are based around keys, tho, bit, maybe you missed them...
i'll have to post my most recent one, that was written around a standard piano, and recorded that way.
when i do my own synths, they tend to be to 'proggy' sounding.....

Killer collab. Synths sound massive and the guitar work is sparkling yet ethereal. Vocals do have a Jon Anderson feel but I'm a Yes fan so it's all good.
Typical Bats Brew impeccable mix.
Great job guys!
thanks rscain, for listening and commenting....
this mix was tough.
i definitely did not nail it.
the guitar work, was so easy..... i literally just put up a mic, and played along with john's arrangement, and it just came out the way it happened.
i could do about 12 different versions of this thing, it's just so wide open........
