This has a great languid feel to it, very different to the stuff you've posted before. really nice spacey guitar, and great vocals ... lyrically reminds me of the sly humour of Fountains of Wayne. Cool, almost jazzy style - nice work, man.

If you find yourself lacking finesse, a big rock will usually make a sufficient substitute.

I like the uncluttered sound. The vocal on this one is quite good as well as the guitars and bass. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for listening. It took me quite some time to get the baritone guitar to sound right, but even after I did I've grown sick of the whole monster and restrung it to standard tuning again.

Electric Ladyland 'feel' to this. An understated song that draws you into a very different and interesting subject for a song. Excellent.
Cheers

Nice and loose. I concur with Len re the Hendrix connection. Perhaps a dash of "Wish You Were Here" era Floyd here as well...A very cool offering Greg. Great big kudos to you and the boys in the band!

Be well!

You got the feel of my production style exactly. Ever since I graduated from high school I've loved the tinny, scratchy sound of early punk albums and I've tried to replicate that in all the non-electronic albums I've produced. Only, I've tried to make it sound more like a group playing in a small club, and less like a tape player at full blast in a coffee can---which is what some of those punk albums can sound like!

Thanks for listening,

Like your mention of early punk. Me too. This, kinda like Minutement on 'ludes. Cool and loose, Thanks.

Glad you like . . . &mdash 03/06/08 - 09:37:30 PM
it. I've since re-strung my Strat back to E, instead of the bari-B, but we'll see what happens in the future.
