What an excellent bass intro you've recorded!
It & the guitar & keys late in the intro give it a Who in their Who's Next experimental phase vibe to it.

C'mon fellows, this has classic writ large - make more of it.
My only concern is that the bass gets a little floppy when it gets down low but I actually like that - don't know if it's considered good or otherwise.
 
Very cool. Great vibe, and excellent tones..that bass is sweet. Nice, subtle sounds on the drums at times. Cool.
 
After reading Ray's comments, I can hear that Who vibe, created by the guitar. But my first impression while listening was that it had that great LPC vibe. (Buy the CD guys and you'll hear what I mean :D )

Nice bass lines in there - they are melodic and sound like potential vocal lines - cool....

Nice arrangements with the dynamics/build ups/crashes...

This is early mix so I'm not sure what your arrangment's going to be like but the intro - if it has no vocals - feels a tad long. Again, it's kind of early to tell.

Looking forward to hearing this in its later stages.....

:) :D :) :D
 
Typing as listening... the intro guitar tone is sweet. Bass sound is nice. Love the way the bass part sticks up in the mix. This sounds like a cool intro or outro to a CD or something... or are you guys planning on expanding this for vox? If so, I say go for it. IMO it's just right for an instrumental right now, but if you expanded and added more parts like 1:00 for vox plus the catchy chorus that'd be cool too. Anyway, good listen, mix sounds good to these ears :cool:
 
very cool instrumental. i hear that famous who vibe too........from that one song....uhh......baba sumthin or nuther. sounds kind of surreal. bass is a kind of clicky in some spots but maybe that works. i'll have to listen a few more times. nice title too (i had to look that one up :p ).
 
Wow...I love it !!!!

Great intro...!! The setting for the story draws your full attention.

The axe, with it's sweet harmonic tone of fancifulness, leads you on the Incanus/Supercreep journey, thru the forest of where the plot begins to thicken...

...with full, rich, warm undertones of a well played bass like that of the earthen path you are being led down, enveloping with warmth and richness, interweaving the dance of the guitar....

....the drums, precise with timing, guiding the melody along it's way, as a flower floating upon a stream of moving water...pausing here and there for a passionate dip beneath the waters, rushing back to the top, swirling and twirling as if a maestro were commanding it's very moves...

....all the while, the keyboard fills the air with voices, subtle as the whispering of ferns and mosses upon the forrest floor all the way to the top of the trees...you know it is there, you feel it, you hear it, yet you cannot grasp it....

The guitar, the bass, the drums, the keyboards, have all come togather....

Delighting an enchanted heart....

Thanks folks!!!

This was a lot of fun to work on. I wrote the main part of this many years ago and Casey just loved it (for some reason!). We've been meaning to do this for quite a while and finally got to it. Casey provided the bridge portion and many ideas for this piece.

This version will stay instumental, but we've been tossing around the idea of snaking part of it to use as a verse for a different, but related, song. We'll see. . .

Glad you enjoyed this, True.

Thank you for your comments. I think that more creative energy went into writing this description of the music, than in the music itself!!!! You're just too cool.
 
Sounded Great to me.
All the stuff you guys produce makes me a fan.

This opening is classic rawk at its purest and finest IMHO.

I really like the drive, I even think that intro would do anywere in a song, its just a strong piece of music.

Solid playing, and preformance.

I`m sold :D

cheers guys :)

You are very welkom Incanus...Casey too.

I really did enjoy this and the description is how it made me feel. It is ear candy for the listener, just as a sparkling jewel to the eye..... Ahhhh....but then the name warned of that. :)
 
I like this a lot. It's got a great feel rhythmically. And the bass line is catchy.

I'd increase the lower mids of the lower guitar part a bit. A guitar line that doubled the bass an octave or two higher might cool in parts.

I agree with the the Who comparison's....especially the 1st part of the song...this sounds great to me just the way it is...great job!
 
Thanks for the great feedback everyone.

As I recall, I think I did have a very obscure Pete Townsend tune in mind when I first came up with the main guitar part. I don't see the drums or bass being very 'who'-like, but the overall feel. . . yeah, all right.

Hey, Tim--I'm a little uncertain as to which guitar part you were referring to: the 'lower guitar' Would that be the power chord guitars? Or the main rhythm guitar? And as it is now, I actually DID double up the bass line--one octave higher on the bass, however, not a guitar.

Ha! I guess that was kind of hazy. OK, what I thought was that the mix would be a bit better balanced with a slight increase in the lower mids. Just struck me that one of the guitar parts could be thickened a little to add that and it might work out just right. Wouldn't really matter which. Maybe a tiny bit on each. Just my own preference... other feedback was that the balance is just right as is.

This sounds really cool. My only complaint would the length.... or the lack thereof.

:)

Seriously, it rocks really good. Might recommend making the snare a tad plate-ish (I mean thin but might be mis-using the word plate).
 
Thanks, folks.

And thanks, Tim, for the clarification. I could see a little 'thickening' occuring to the overall recording. It's just a rough mix right now. We just did some preliminary level-setting and panning. Also, the all-important delay on the main guits (and keys), and I think we eq'd the bass a tad. The drums need to be dealt with yet, and that should probably make the whole mix a little bit less cloudy.
