some nice playing there!
yea, i get the issue with piezo sounds, i don't like using them,
but in this case, the sounds kind of makes sense,
the guitars float on top of the bubbling bass lines, if not a little bit too crystalline sounding, but clear as a bell.
my guess is, if it was miced, it wouldn't work as well,
it'd be 'too full' for the busy arrangement to work.
you'd never know, i guess, without micing the guitar, re mixing it, and see what happens.
i hear the funky syncopation in the arrangement,
it aint funk, but it gets funky. LOL
funk is a hard core pidgeonhole, i've been called out for using 'funk' as a descriptor before,
and actually, i think it's quite accurrate.
if it's funky at all, it should be natural to say 'funk'. but if it don't sound like
"Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine",
then it aint funk.
heheh
