I have this feeling &mdash 03/08/07 - 09:00:47 AM
...that something is missing from it. I think some vocals would definately compliment this track. I really like the changes in drum/loops. Nice jam.

thanks ... &mdash 03/08/07 - 09:14:46 AM
for stopping and giving annotations. Question is, if human-like or completely different vocals would make the goal?

hmmm &mdash 03/08/07 - 09:22:09 AM
If you dont go with human then I would definately use robot. It does have a strong industrial feel to it and an inhuman voice would give it that extra grittyness (is that a word?) for the jam.

Dig it &mdash 03/08/07 - 10:32:20 AM
Really like this and maybe some robot voice like "spitlogic" says.
But it's works like this also... Cheers

Thanks Skean &mdash 03/08/07 - 11:13:22 AM
(resulting from that little misunderstanding) the robotised voice could be fine. I will give it a try ...

Sounds fun &mdash 03/08/07 - 04:55:35 PM
I really hope you can fix it.
I look forward to the finally song.

If it's a trubute &mdash 03/08/07 - 05:09:03 PM
to Human League then you would actually need to add both a male and female robot voice!

Neat little number.

Thanks ... &mdash 03/09/07 - 11:59:59 AM
so far I agree to you ... easier said than done, so if there is a female singer out there, willing to do this job I would extremely be pleased.

human/non-human &mdash 03/28/07 - 04:05:20 PM
this is great, alex! i think for the lead, it would be nice to hear a lower register, heavily vocoded male vocal. it would also be nice if you could get some soft female background vox (human and human league-sounding).

best,
-=ez

Hi Ez, &mdash 03/29/07 - 08:32:26 AM
thanks for stopping. I will work hard on this. I guess, my qualities on female singing are a bit underdevoloped ;-)

Yes &mdash 03/29/07 - 03:17:19 PM
I definitely recognise that initial drum beat! I love the Human League.

This track has all the necessary elements for a class 80s track. All that's missing - like you said - is vocals.

Keep advertising on chat - there are people out there who would love to collab.

Nice Noises in this track &mdash 04/23/07 - 03:47:42 PM
Do you have a concept for lyrics?

[ Reply to This ]
Concepts &mdash 04/24/07 - 03:35:32 AM
I think of two ways:

1. completely different lyrics, maybe using quotations of the original text (unfortunately I have no convenient text ideas yet)
2. cover version (the original "Being Boiled" texts)

this speaks to me without any vocals. i dig it.

i like how you usually work in a downtempo manner. well, downtempo in contrast with a lot of my stuff. i think we have a lot of the same ideas about synths and music, and it's nice to listen to it coming from a different ether.

I am so on it? Might we collaborate - I'll ad vox and fretless perhaps?
