"Lost Dream", spacey original

[GONZO-X]

this is a test mix of the song "Lost Dream" from the upcoming and updated album release "The Wild Animals"

i hope you enjoy it.
i'm looking for any mix suggestions, i think maybe the lead vox is too hot.
maybe only in the front end, not so much the 2nd half...

the main solo in the middle, that is my newly built custom tele with the Fralin pickups in it...

the solo tracks, it's just one long solo track, that i keep changing the pickup selector on at will, but landed on the P-92 for the entire solo, i thought it sounded SO good...

also, i used the Boss DD-200 in stereo, printed my effects in live time, and used the 'shimmer' effect.
but i mixed it down a bit on the pedal, so it would not be too obvious

there are a few spots, where you can hear the swell ring out,
but i was riding it on the volume knob to keep it from taking over...
i just recorded all the solos this past weekend.

I just really like the song. It's really good, Rob. Out of everything you've done over the last 10-15+ years - that composition is one of the best, imo. Interesting music, great lyrics. Enjoyed that thoroughly.

hi porterhouse! thank you for commenting

glad you get the effort i put in on the arrangements, i've had a 'demo' version of this since about 1999, originally called "Pali Face" because of the ski run at Arapahoe Basin.
but i had a 'fever dream', and just like the lyric, i woke up and could not remember the dream, tho i knew it had been one of the most vivid dreams i'd ever had.
a lost dream.


the original version of this had a 'fuzz guitar' solo throughout,
so these new tracks with the tele, are a completely different thing now.
seems better to me.


thanks again!
