Ahhhh finally I get this song posted up here. I have been trying on mp3.com for weeks and it keeps faffing about and driving me mad. On lycos it is ready to be downloaded the moment it has finished uploading which makes a refreshing change from the days and days wait on mp3.com.

Anyway. This is a significant update of an previous track I have posted here 'dist(unfinished)'. The previous incaranation had an awful mix resulting in crappy sounding drums and stuff. This is possibly how it might be as a finished file, this one has been dragging on for a while now. If you downloaded the previous version (hopefully) you'll notice the much improved drum sound due to some wierd functioning of my yamaha cs1x. The mix also sounds a bit punchier and generally better. Depending on response I may do another final mix. I may have possibly gone a bit top heavy in this going around in cycles of adding more and more top, d'ya reckon?

If you haven't heard this yet it is a light industrial track in the vein of nine inch nails. Main influences: Nine Inch Nails and Ministry. It is one of my first vocal outings although there isn't much vocal there.

Equipment:

Yamaha CS1x
Squire strat
Boss VF-1
Fuzzbox VST effect
Various other VST effects

PS there is one snare hit missing I'm sure you'll notice!
 
well I'm trying and nothing is downloading off that site.. strange. but I will try again later
 
Those are certainly some grungy, abrasive sounds you've managed to capture. Was that muttering way in the background supposed to be a vocal? It had a Philip Glass feel to it in the overall arrangement, which I liked, but could use some more spots with some contrast, like what you did ~ 2:08.
 
Cheers for the download. Hahahah yup that was the vocals, I've got some a bit more confident than that on my latest projects. I really am not a natural born killer I mean singer so it is with great struggle I add anything. I'm working on it though.I don't know Philip Glass, who is he? Abrasive sounds? This is one of my tuneful, pleasing to the ear outings, well relatively, At some point I'll post some really abrasive tracks!

I kind of feel the drums sound a bit dry aswell, D'ya reckon?

Yeah lycos has been a bit crappy generally with downloading, but i have found that if you right click on the download link and choose 'save target as...' that normally works.

Thanks again for download, I don't know what I would do without you guys cause I find people just don't give an honest answer if I am chatting to them face to face. I would like complete honesty on here, it is damn useful! Thanks again.

Cheers

Hmmmm lycos is a bitch but then so is mp3.com. I think I'll find a better one. Did you try right clicking and choosing 'save target as...' because i can never get anything to download from there unless I do that. It is a bit odd like that.

Thanks for the attempted download!
