Description:
I think this is our final mix of this song. For whatever reason I never put a bass line on it? I'm a bass player. How did that slip past me?
Please let me know if the bass adds the bottom to it that it was missing. I think it does. I also decided not to add any back up vocals behind Carlo's voice. I think it deserves to be out there alone and vulnerable, anyone disagree?

wow! &mdash 08/02/08 - 02:42:36 PM
wow! wow!! this is awesome sh*t, mang! i hadn't heard the other version, so i just checked it out. the bass tone is awesome - a definite keeper. this mix, though, seems a lot less bright. did you lose some high end in the eq dept?
anyway, i could see a compromise with the bass. maybe leave it out until 1:09. maybe even add another guitar off to the side to thicken it. yes, make that your thickening point. hehe. just an idea.
ps. brilliant vocal performance! [ Reply to This ]

wow - what a totally catchy tune! I'm tappin' my toes with pure enjoyment - nice vox and production - congrats! [ Reply to This ]
sounds very good to me &mdash 08/02/08 - 04:58:27 PM
I like it a lot, a very catchy tune as Magnatone mentioned. I do miss the highs in the mix. Still, very impressed with it. Solid tune! Love, Marc [ Reply to This ]
One Oh Nine &mdash 08/02/08 - 06:03:32 PM
Thanks for the great suggestion. Until you offered it, I wouldn't have considered it. As soon as I hit play, I closed my eyes and waited until I thought it could pop in.... One Oh Nine!
I'll check the mix, but I'm pretty sure it's the exact file a bassline. I'm anal about labeling my files whenever I make changes, but that doesn't mean I caught this one. I did admit that I forgot to drop a bassline! Doep!
Thanks 12! [ Reply to This ]

Trout might have sounded better than bass, but it sounds better good. Carlo's voice sounds really swell, by the way.
GOOD

great &mdash 08/02/08 - 06:59:49 PM
i like it much better with the bass. i really have always dug this song, it's your "freebird" huh? really good mix, and how did you miss the lack of bass before. i mean i did, but i'm not a bass player. great job. [ Reply to This ]

shweeez! &mdash 08/03/08 - 02:23:33 AM
Cool tune with strong vocals! A little repetative in parts (and could have used a tad more development), but the overall vibe was good. It totally reminded me of some of the tracks off the album "High Society" by Enon... which is not a bad thing!

Hey, I recognize those sweet faces! They're getting older quick! Good to see activity from you all. You were one of my first favorite artists a million years ago with a different name.
Staying on topic.... Repetitive is kinda my style and I am aware of it, so I hope to be able to deal with it in the years to come. David Byrne says, "Say something once, why say it again?", but I say to my kids, "Keep saying it over and over and it gets funnier and funnier"
Thanks for the comments! [ Reply to This ]
loneliness of the electrofriend &mdash 08/03/08 - 08:02:10 AM
Even, if I'll fav this song till kingdom come, like 12 parsecs and Go-turtle-go, I tend to miss the brighter mix, maybe because when you're used to a version, it somehow becomes the "real" one.
I also liked the backing vox, but your take on making the wanna-be electrofriend lonesome is perfectly understandabale and working well. [ Reply to This ]
Lovely to hear this again &mdash 08/03/08 - 05:19:23 PM
Just listened to the previous version again. My preference is for this version. The vocal is superb, in fact the whole package is extremely infectious and up-to-the minute hit material. I can really imagine this as a successful radio play.
Cheers

Its add all the difference. Never do that agian how could you forget the bass! enjoyed [ Reply to This ]
Excellent &mdash 08/06/08 - 01:58:02 PM
I haven't heard the previous versions, so I can't compare, but, man, this is amazing. What a great song, and brilliant performance. I think the vocal is just outstanding - great singing and great feeling. I think your point about the voice seeming vulnerable is right, and it works well. The instrumentation is spot on - nice drum sound, and the bass is solid. Really catchy and enjoyable. Nicely done. Peace. [ Reply to This ]
One of my favourite tracks &mdash 08/07/08 - 01:48:35 PM
and you have improved it. Fantastic. I think the bass works and you are probably right about leaving Carlo voice alone, however I really liked the original version as well anyway. This version does sound cleaner. Thoroughly enjoyed. [ Reply to This ]
Electro Friend &mdash 08/07/08 - 04:00:55 PM
Thanks Keith. I was sure that the only thing different was the addition of the bassline, meaning that I used the same GB file that I used to post the original version, but a few of you hear a distinct difference in the production, which I assure you, I didn't touch!
Hey, I really dig your new Space Baby. [ Reply to This ]
I agree... &mdash 08/07/08 - 04:33:49 PM
...the vox are perfect as is.
Bass is a nice solid bottom...I like the way you change the instrumentation...nice layering and dynamics...cool lyrics. [ Reply to This ]
