J Franz -

Okay, put me down as seriously impressed. This is really great stuff, and the recording/production is right up there where it needs to be. The drums sound great (I'm a sucker for a super-compressed snare). The vocal is appropriately raspy and sits right out front without overpowering the music.

I love the artist - cool lyrics, interesting voice, slick guitar playing, tight band, smart arranging - what else do you want?

Best of luck.

JF,
That guy Ken Elevan is great! That stuff sounds good. I too am a sucker for compressed drums. The midrange to high-mid of the mixes doesn't sound over-compressed to me. If I had to be picky, I'd do something to the bass guitar to get more sustain out of it. It's melodic as hell, and I can't hear all of the notes. I say if the bass player's that good and the bass is that musical, let it shine more.
Must have been fun to work on that stuff. Good songs, good musicians.
Nice job!

JFranze,

Sheesh, I can't get stuff from MP3.com to play through unless it's downloadable. It will only play about 10 seconds of it. If soundsurfr and murph say its that good, I'de love to hear it... Gotta find a way.

thanks for the tip soundsurfr.

J,
the Ken Elevan tune is cool, pretty good high end for an MP3 done at 128 I imagine the master is even better.....I liked the vocals (great performance, matching engineering) and the guitars the most....

oh man, can´t wait ´til you guys tear my sh*t apart!! lol
j/k

Thanks for posting, I really enjoy listening to new music.

Kamurah,

Man, I agree with Jorge442...."I think the tunes are engineered superbly, specially Nubiat. Sound good to me!"

I just got a chance to listen finally. Excellent programming work, in my humble opinion...




billt,
Mark had emailed me the new piece earlier. Good job! You and Mark work well together...


Thanks, Roy

Hey Guys,

Thanks for all of the kind words, I appreciate it.

I have some of the Ken Elevan "Nightmares and Cigarettes" sings left. If any of you would like one, I'll be happy to send one your way (Free).

Just drop me an e-mail [email protected]

Once again thanks for the input.
