Now that's my kind of music (along with every other kind)! I do agree with mixmkr however. It really needs some blazing guitar work over some of it. At 2:05 or so the guiter lead is the sort of thing it cries out for but you can't really hear it well enough. And I think it could use a whole lot more of that. Good starting point though; I really like the odd timing a la Mahavishnu.

Nice song. I thought it could have used a little more in the way of solos or something, but I had to comment on this song because it was better than some of the other shit I heard around here. I listen to a lot of it but usually dont comment. Great drummer.

rats,
"It's like you just start to get into a groove and then you pull the rug out from underneath it"
heh-heh. For sure. Interesting that at 2:33 it seemed to click, I wonder if it was the acoustic filling the rest of it in that made the progression clearer. Either way, interesting observation. It *does* fall apart a bit a 3:17, this song was somewhat of an experiment. I like the way it turned out though and it may or may not be redone or elaborated on. Thanks rats!
GT, Thanks again!
Lt. Bob, perhaps more guitar. I got license from Pete to do whatever I wanted to it, and so I did with the guitar parts. Maybe vocals will clear it all up. Appreciate the listen.
Thanks Satch. Solo's maybe, guess it depends whether vocals appear or not. All pre-written, 4 paragraphs. I have no idea what the phrasing is though.

Amazing!!! That mix is so clean, Your guitar phrasing is beautiful. Like everyone else I agree about the bass sound, then your rippin guitar chops came in... forgot all about the bass tone. great drum sound.
You may hate to hear this (or not)... but it reminded me of a Candlebox tune, relax, relax, a GOOD and lesser known Candlebox tune called Rain @ 1:30 - 2:00
I just have one critique of my own, I'de like to hear a stronger ending, there's just something lacking right at the very end, I don't mean the style of ending, it just sounds like it's missing a chord or two, or has too many. IMHO.

Got your email. Thanks alot. When I open the Marshall patch, it gives me like 30 more options to choose from from a big list. Now, you wouldn't happen to remember the exact amp, would you?
Anyways, thanks alot

Okay, I'm not going to talk about recording issues, because you're beyond that - the sound on the drums and bass and guitars is very good. You know how to do that, and time will just improve it if you keep at it.
Instead, I'll talk about the music and the playing. It's original. I've heard stuff approximately like it, but not like it really. I know how to write about lots of things, but this is a bit beyond me so I'll just cut to the chase: please continue to explore this very rich seam. Aside from the very good drumming and guitar playing, the music has got lots and lots to listen to - I listened to it a few times last night, and I listened to it a few times tonight.
Two things: I think you can learn to do this smoother, you two. This one's fine, but it can be smoother. Also, wtf's with those out of tune guitars at the end? I can live with an intentional out of tune guitar, of course. Of course I can. I'm cool...
I really, really like this tune. If you're gonna put words to it, they had better be ace.

Torpid-X: Thanks for the nice words. Candlebox eh? hmmm.. The name rings a bell but I can't say as I can think of any of their tunes. The very very ending is something I added on, just thought it might close the tune better. The fill preceding that wasn't really supposed to go that way. Perhaps if it's ever redone we'll work on something better.
A1A2: Welcome. Unfortunatly, I don't remember which one it was. It wouldn't matter though because I ended up changing the amp/cab settings among other settings. They are not a bad template set though to pick from and tweak them to suit your needs.
Hey Dobro. Yes your right, it could/should be smoother/tighter. The song was new to me and I ended up writing parts starting at the end, and working my way back. Now that I know how it goes and what parts work, it should be easier to achieve something smoother. You like that out of tune guitar do you? heheh. There was one more guitar in there that was muted because it was even further out of tune. Thanks for the feedback.
The words are along the vein of FZ. Phrases that follow the bass lines in certain parts.
Thanks for the feedback all. I better get listening more to the other posts going on in this forum.
