"Heaven", new from Bats Brew

Always look forward to hearing these collaborations as they bring something different each time and this one does not disappoint. The mix sounds nice and clear even on my windows surface speakers great stuff guys.

That's great.  Did you say *heaven sucks?*  haha

thanks biodiode, appreciate the support and comment...
 
windows 'surface' speakers... didn't know what those were till you mentioned them...
most tablets sound rubbish.
i can't quite wrap my head around the idea that anything could sound good on something like this,
especially with these huge synths!
i bet you're missing at least half the music!
\but, the fact that you say it sounds good on those,
means it is translating fairly well, which is a good thing

Wow, this is really nice work! Kind of a Pink Floyd meets Yes vibe happening which I very much dig. Fantastic playing all around and a super mix with clarity to die for. Is this available for sale now? Just super work.

Of course I love the prog rock vibe here, very tastefully done.  The synth stuff just makes such a great mood to color over, and you were judicious with the guitar work instead of ruining it.  (I wish Mars Volta would have learned that lesson...)  
 
Vocal work sounded interesting too.  I'm gonna guess you won't tell a fella what you did there, huh?  At times it sounded like it was modulated or modulating a synth, then other times I wondered if my ears were just fooled and it was really just a well sung, doubled vocal track. 
 
I always like listening to your stuff.  I'm prolly gonna have to buy that CD.... Rock and prog go together like chocolate and peanut butter.

PROG....
 yes, the evil 4 letter word....
 
i don't really set out to write something progressive,
and in this case, i was really just following John's lead....
but all of my stuff ends up having a prog vibe...
 
 
all i did on vox,
was just sing...
no fx, except for typical compression and either delay, reverb, or a combo of both..
 
i DID sing the leads twice, and blend them, so sometimes there is a bit of comb filtering happening naturally, 
which i just live with.
i can sing almost identical parts twice in a row, 
but i purposefully try to sing one a little different,
so the blend does NOT sound studio perfect..
i WANT the feel of a rock approach,
so it's not so dialed in.....
that'd be my punk and garage band ethos coming thru......!
LOL

Very cool Bats and Wookster. Those synth sweeps really are bone rattlers.
Production and playing are top notch

yes, we like the windows rattling....
keeps it real
LOL
 
thanks daryl

Wonderful stuff Bats and Wookiee.  This has a great ethereal feel too it and pulls the listener right into it.  It also has a great interplay between guitar and synths.  I really like what y'all have done with the vocals.  Excellent work!!!
 

hey freddy, thanks for listening to this one...
 
glad you like it, it was.... inspired.

Rimshot
That was a good listen! Very good job on all of it. 
Where's the drums!!!

I never used any in the original version, thanks.

 
And I'll raise you 

Starise
You two make a good combination! This song shows the strengths of both. Very Pink Floydish...does take a person for a journey. Love the guitar and the lush synth backings. Nice work!

THANKS for listening, starise...
i do really dig spacy rock ala floyd...
 
i think i could take several of john's previous (future) arrangements, and do a similar treatment,
a whole album's worth?!!?  why not!

 
 

Who woulda thunk it...    I really liked this, just a great combination of two different perspectives melded perfectly together.   The influences are definitely coming through, yet it still sounds like the two of you.   As it should be!   

Drama era Yes meets Dave Gilmour with the regimented feel of early King Crimson. Nice... maybe less compression on the drums to give it a more raw feel.

Great stuff guys!  My kinda tune.
