hey man...AngelFire nixed the link...(deep linking, whatever the hell that is, is STRONGLY discouraged by all sites that aren't NWR).

I think your responses would increase dramatically if we could hear it...maybe on NWR???

qwerty - I'm not really qualified to offer anything here, as I really don't know what it was you were going for. It's certainly unique and orginal, but way outside the kind of stuff I might normally listen to. I don't think I am able to offer anything constructive. Sorry.

Just curious. How would you classify this?
 
tarentino could use this in one of his flick's!!! very original stuff.
BRAVO!!!!

Thanks for your time, people!

Dachay - I appreciate your honesty, and yes I do hate hearing "That sounds like <insert band here>..........", so there is a tendency to push the sonic envelope to a degree.

I guess I see this song as a fusion of jazz, blues, lounge and maybe trip-hop. What we tried to do here was use an obviously electonic lo-fi rhythm sound to highlight the clarity and cleanness of the other parts.

I wrote another song about battered wives years ago which was built around a more traditional rock ballad approach. The problem I had was this - white man, white man music, mid-20's singing about the motivations of people 20 years my senior, using a musical ideom they invented in "their" youth. It just didn't ring true after a while.

This song tries to present the duality of the situation, (the husband hits her, but she always stays), using that little walking guitar line that never quite resolves itself and the male and "female" vocals.

I have no idea if there is a market for this type of thing, but it sure is fun to make. Besides, I think that IT is probably going to serve me dinner more often than music will :)

fenderlikingood - I like your thinking and if you have a contact number, please let me know ;) (Not just because the soundtrack CD always sells so well :) )

Ciao,

ok ..without the tongue in cheek-ness...of it this sounds like...crash test dummies...mostly just th ebarutone vox im sure....deep lyrics....cool.....i like the "outlined by your tears"..part ..i dont care much for those high pitched back ups...in the second verse...now the vox...higher register..better..:D ..all most everything EXCEPT the vocals are all at the same level....mix it up a bit...i like that litlle lead guitar part just barely can hear it....

i like the vocal fade out too...

man this has great elements to it...just needs....hmm....i thik its in the way its mixed...but then what do i REALLY know??


cool

back on the front page...

Ah... yes... the minimalist :cool:

good levels this time; nice use of delay on the vocals there in that part (you know the one :D)

This thing builds well -- the distorted bass drum sound is a nice touch.

There's a problem with the vocal rhythm; "Romeo was really just King Kong"... it's being sung like "Romeo was really just King Kong... sung against the natural rhythm of the words -- where both words King Kong are accented... it's that way throughout the song. It would make the lyric easier to understand with emphasis on both words.

The falsetto "female" vox might be interesting to pan around... like a slithering snake... maybe put some flange on them and just have them slide from speaker to speaker, kind of like a fish swimming around in there... an idea for the guitars too, but more discreetly or something... (and not the same F.X. on guitar).

It's weird, but it's all yours :cool:
