phat bass &mdash 06/19/07 - 12:11:01 PM
i liked your use of sounds not always heard...
i especially liked the cure-esque middle section... i wanted mor eof that, so i ran it back there a couple of times...
i was always a fan of how they made thier stuff dark and moody with minimal interference, and i think you have that going on here... dark..
now if we could just throw some devastating metal guitars in somewhere....

Metal guitars &mdash 06/19/07 - 12:20:08 PM
thanks Allen for stopping and listening. I'm a big Cure fan and i'm sure they have left some imprints. yes, maybe the middle part is the best and maybe the song is a bit overloaded. I hope i did get you right: You think some additional guitars would be fine?

good &mdash 06/19/07 - 02:11:44 PM
I'm not shure about those guitars but I like it a lot... GReat performance and darky vision... With some better guitars this could be just fine... I agree with Allan

Indeed, I was very unsure about the usage of the guitar in general. i take it for a "layout guitar" (and maybe there are more skilled people on MacJams willing to replace it ... or i should think about buying a proper one)? thanks, craft.

Very interesting indeed! &mdash 06/20/07 - 01:49:22 AM
I enjoyed this alex. I think it has loads of potential and I dug your choice of sounds. Nice work.

Like it a lot &mdash 06/20/07 - 05:57:23 AM
And if "the r.a.d. project" put some METAL guitars in to it... You maybe have a hit.

Year, Kenta. Why not ask Allen to contribute a devastating guitar? Take care, alex

vocals &mdash 06/20/07 - 06:38:55 AM
Is this track going to have vocals added?

Vocals ... &mdash 06/20/07 - 06:52:10 AM
... would be fine. And since I do not dare to do the job (as a lack of courage and talent), everyone out there is invited to add vocals/lyrics (or metal guitars) ;)

good job &mdash 06/20/07 - 11:29:38 AM
what an interesting mix of instruments. I enjoy the intensity and upbeat quality. This must have taken some careful planning. Spacey vibe. Nice job.

Planning &mdash 06/20/07 - 01:35:14 PM
Very flattering to me, that you think the track did took some careful planning since my skills in seriously composing a song are fairly underdeveloped ;) Most often when I start tinkering a song I have no or only a vague idea of how it will develope. Thanks Linda for listening and your nice words.

upbeat yet dark &mdash 06/22/07 - 02:17:28 AM

The Chemicals! &mdash 06/22/07 - 10:00:42 AM
you are right ... until now i didn't think of the CBs (but i have one Chemical CD containing a track that sounds quite similar). Thanks Jo, for listening.

Alex - hands down, this is the best track I've heard from you, just fantastic - dark, but with great melodies. I agree with the guitars - I think some heavy guitar would work on this. I've a massive backlog of songs, but i've downloaded this, and at some stage will try and get some vocal ideas to you.

Outstanding track, really!

Steve

Guitars and vocals &mdash 06/23/07 - 02:11:51 PM
needless to say: you are welcome to add your amazing voice. I actually asked Allen from the r.a.d. project to add heavy guitars (that deserve this name). Hopefully he will unpack his guitars. Thanks for your kind words, steve.

! &mdash 09/16/07 - 10:38:51 AM
i've been checkin out your catalogue, being a big fan of this type of style.

this song is my favorite so far, where everything seems to come together best in an ambitious electro monolgue. that's my kinda language.

end of the flagpole &mdash 09/17/07 - 02:40:11 AM
in some matters this marks the preliminary end of the flagpole and maybe a parting of ways: as i'm addicted to the rock / alternative / industrial genre, too i lumped things togehter ... which is far from being inventive ;)

great tune &mdash 01/14/08 - 06:14:54 PM
this is a really great track, i think its fine enough as it is without vocals, they would only distract from the coolness of the music. and i agree some metal guitars would really finish this off nicely :)

devastating guitar &mdash 02/14/08 - 05:55:53 AM
thanks for your kind words ... should i ask allen again? he had attempted to deliver guitars on it ... but it dashed against his high claims.

Allen: if you should read this: Please try it again!

Meanwhile I've been listening to your stuff; I really like it !
