great song i really like the tune and the way you put the spoken words in with the kick ass guitar riffs and the bass sounds really good. Also i love the tone of your voice sounds really great. Check out my latest song called Rain

Thanks Thanks for those kind words! The vocals are not by me, but are taken from some spoken word stuff by Drew Roberts. I am a big fan of the monster riff however!! Check out my latest song called Sunless

The Comparison Finally getting back to this and after listening to it on some decent headphones I agree it has a lot more punch to it. It's more pro-sounding and the voice is alot easier to hear in the mix, brought more up to the front I guess. That being said, I love the original version, and it still remains my favourite. Sure, maybe it's not as well polished, but there is a dripping wet groove that hoooked me the first time I heard it. Polishing it up seems to have robbed your killer riff of a bit of it's menacing swagger. Not trying to be negative at all, but it's almost like someone making a remake of a movie that you really dig. It may be better in all regards, but it isn't the same as the original you fell in love with. That being said, if I hadn't been aware of the original, this tune would get nothing but rave reviews. You just spoiled me is all! Check out my latest song called Doodle Tree

yeah I know what you mean... Seems like music production is a balancing act between capturing a raw live quality and a smoother, but more composed, mix. Maybe if I add a little bit more dirt to the bass again... Argh, there goes another weekend!!! Check out my latest song called Sunless

The Old Battle Of trying to polish something up is a tough one. Every time I slide an eq or compression setting I always think I'm losing something. I spent some time in the studio last night trying to bring out the lead guitar in my latest tune (as per your suggestions, among others) and I keep thinking I'm taking something away. Engineering really is an artform that seems elusive to get a good hold on. Gotta keep trying though. Check out my latest song called Doodle Tree

HMMmmmm..... Hopefully you didn't take offense to my comment on the original. It's just my way of saying I thought it was a whisker away from being something big. I like both versions, but I agree with Pete. It seems you lost a bit of the vibe/groove, although this new version does have a better quality sound. I'm thinking maybe it's the way you had the guitars last time. The clean/chorus/delay(?) on the right, and the distorted on on the left. What hooked me on the orig was that low key, yet aggressive vibe. Kinda like a P.O.'d cat swishing it's tail. I love the guitar melody, which of course remains strong in both versions. And no doubt about it being tough to keep a vibe. One little change and it can be gone. All in all, nice remix. Check out my latest song called Lazy River (w/TERRAPLANE)

Thanks for the comments Hi. Thanks for taking time out to have a listen. I can see what you mean about the guitars coming out of both speakers. I may try tweaking the original slightly, so the drums have less wallop but the groove stays dirty... Check out my latest song called Sunless

The original hooked me but my speakers here suck so won't comment on the improvements but I just wanted to be first to post! I'll listen again later and feedback then.
