Hey these are my newest demo tracks. I have better quality mixes but havn't had time to upload them yet.

Check them out at - www.lazerskate.tk

Leave a post- tell me what you think (esp. Kapunda!!)

Thanks

Listened to kapunda. Thought it was going to be an instrumental, such a huge long intro. The opening bars sounded like you were tuning your guitar!

The vocals were the best bit, quite interesting, some pitch issues with the female singer. Nice voice.

I didn't like the music because:

There were definite timing issues, epecially with that low guitar string part panned left.

It felt like you were jut throwing a whole bunch of things into it, there was no particular consistency or theme to it, and much of it was very ponderous. For example the guitar break at around 4:00 just came out of nowhere, and didn't seem to go anywhere.

So, on balance, definite promise, liked the vox, it needs stripping down to its essential and everything (playing, parts) needs to be tightened.

All IMHO of course; feel free to ignore me :)
 
Yeah, Interesting!!

Well first i'll say (though i'm not tryin to make excuses) this was recorded as part of a short course with many groups recording daily in 40 min sessions which made really tight performance pretty hard, but anyways......

That low guitar is actually a bass!!!!! Yeah i no its the worst bass sound ever but it was, at the time, the only bass available to us (a really old squire with strings from the stone age)

That guitar break would sound good if the chorus had a bit more power cos the whole thing i think is a bit thin/weak.
Thats something i'll be working on in the next recording of it- fattening it up, double tracking stuff ect.

Anyway enough excuses (!), Thanks for listening

If you get a chance to do it again, and tighten it all up, I think it's worth it. Build it around the vocals and simplify it. There's something good trying to come out here.
