BillyFurnett - Thanks for checking out the tune! I guess you actually downloaded this one as I didn't see your normal lo-fi critique here. Glad you like the track!
Kramer - Thanks for chiming in and for the kind words!
fprod south - Thanks for your mixing advice. The tambourine was part of the original rhythm pattern and wasn't added on to it but, we did like the sound of it and went with that pattern.
As for the drums being too loud or just right, I guess it's largely personal choice but, I did have that thought in the back of my mind that they were a little too hot for me in the beginning of the track but seem to blend better once everything kicks in.
dtb - Thanks for checking in and glad you liked the track!
joro - Thanks for your comments and mixing advice. It's appreciated very much. About the verb, I know the modern approach is to keep the verb times short and toward the dry side as this tends to add clarity to the sound but sometimes, it just sounds right to go a little overboard and think outside the box.
Thanks, man!
B.SABBATH - Thanks, B. We will keep a careful watch on the vocals to make sure they are in the rightful place once the bass gets some fattening and the kit goes on a diet!
Guernica - Thanks for the Beatles vibe comparison! I don't personally feel worthy to breath the same air those guys did in their prime but, I am sure we have all been influenced by them in our own way. Their harmony work and pop sensibilities are something that my buddy Doug has captured on a great many of his tunes as he was always a great fan of their music and many other AM radio pop stars and I have always drifted more toward the FM side of things.
rats - Thanks for checking out our music! This is the first time I have seen your comments on our stuff and am pleased that you liked the tune and the memories of other artists that it brought forward for you. I like your stuff too and especially your entertaining commentary in the Cave. Very cool.
Thanks again to everyone who checked out the tune so far. Doug and I are very pleased with the help and advice we have received here and touched that our stuff has entertained you a little too in the process.
Cheers!
