Hey man, thanks, I appreciate it a lot! This was definitely my inner science geek coming out...years of a Discover magazine subscription and then-new access to the Science channel boiled over
I've got another version or two of this that I've done based on the input I got here. But I ended up in a stalemate on all of the songs of this album...I can't get the vocal sound right. I got frustrated and moved on to other things, but this whole album has constantly been in the back of my mind. I think I need to dedicate a week and retrack all of the vocals, and spend more time getting the sound right. I've learned a little since this was tracked/mixed, so maybe I could do better now.
Anyways, thanks for sharing your links, I like those songs a lot. You've got a great natural voice like the dude from Voxtrot, and the music reminds me of Grandaddy, who penned one of my all-time favorite albums (The Sophtware Slump). A little whimsical, maybe a little twee, but 100% great. Your vocal FX are perfect in the Theory of Relativity. That's the slapback echo I was shooting for in this song but missed. I can't find a subtle setting that still gets the job done, you did it perfectly. I don't know how I missed that 2nd song in the clinic, it was just this May. I suck at participating in the clinic overall, sorry I didn't catch that one.
