First of all, I apologise for taking so long to reply to this thread. I see you've started using tracked drums more. Fruity Loops perhaps? That weird 'bojojong snare' is a nice touch. At 2:05 there's some very interesting stuff happening. So unexpected mood, even from you. Especially the piano...

Again.. I can't comment on the mix that much with these crappy headphones. Is this REALLY you Sam? :O You could have fooled me until the little guitar solo-thingy there. The intro sounds very beautiful. The changeover from intro to the more rocky part was expected. I think you should have made...

*CRAPPY HEADPHONES* I'm NOT commenting on the MIX due to using the listening equipment as mentioned above :( The song is somehow more vicious than your usual stuff (which are no picnic either :D ). Still somehow this sound more radio-friendly. Is this 4/4 all the way or am I imagining? Some...

(Sorry I've not been here lately. I've in the process of moving to an apartment so I now have 2 computers and I don't have internet access yet on my new place. I'm now in the 'old place' and I have only crappy headphones so keep that in mind...) The drum playing sounds bad. I don't think Bill...

Thanks for the in-depth there mix. By dissonant you ARE talking about that one riff there (or perhaps my vocals :D) ? This song may be a bit disjointed. This being the last one and all, so I may have been over-doing something so it can be messy but.. I liked doing this. It took long since I kept...

Here's the July Song: http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=1454&alid=-1 Comments on the mix etc.

I know, and I'm just waiting for the day somebody cuts me to pieces :D the horror.... THE HORROR :O

Damn, I can't comment on your snare.. noooo!! It's like... like.. stealing the moustache from Hitler (what the?) or something. It's maybe the one thing I've got on you :D :D

7-11-03 Mix 1... I don't like the snare sound. Sounds like it's clipping even though it probably isn't. Maybe it's a combination of the snare and the hihat. Kinda dirty sounding hats. Not a big problem, though. This is NOT a radio song, but pretty basic on your standards. Your riffs are so YOU...

Now now... There's weird guitar riffage, there's the instantly recognisable Sam solo tone. Also, some weirdness as usual. So this can't be bad :D Loud and spacey. These things are more trippy than before it seems. I'm starting to get worried :D Good eerie mood music. Perfect for a Lynch film or...

The whole track has a very live quality to it. I like the fullness of it. The drums are absolutely AWESOME. The mix is great. The vocals are the only thing that don't sit in as well as the other stuff. It's not the performance, but the mix. It sound a bit too live compared to the other stuff but...

Full recording alright. I've heard some banjo stuff in the past. They're usually country or countryish songs and this is probably the first time I've heard a banjo being used in a totally different genre, if you will (I've always wanted to say that: "if you will", now I feel SO smart for no...

Thanks. I was thinking of adding more reverb to the vocals (yes, there is SOME reverb on it :D ) but I guess I went for the "copy the original sound as much as you can" method :D There also should be more bass audible than on the original, but it could be that only *I* hear it since I mixed it...

A definite 80's feel. I don't really like the solo synth sound. The hammond-like thing in the background is more to my liking, I guess. Frankly, I don't get that much from this. Sounds too much like the 80's pop I despise. It brings me horrible memories of those crappy 80's comedies :D so I...

Nice buildup there.. Your vocals sound like a cross between Dave Mustaine and Roger Waters to me. Really cynic sounding. In a good way of course :D I really like your hypnotic guitar-riff. I wish the song would take on a next level instead of fading out. Perfect for some thumping drums and...
