thanks,

yeah, I go back and forth with my singing. Really the reason I do it is because I don't have a real singer. Eventually I'd like to get someone to sing them. In between singing more often, getting better with burying the vox with comp and reverb, it's improving a bit. But what the hell, a lot of my favorites don't put babies to sleep with their voice.

anyway, glad you like the song!

mmmm...very nice indeed, great Gilmour-esque guitar, nice warm tones. The overall vibe really suits your username. I could see driving through Joshua Tree park with the top down listening to this. Nice work!

Thanks for the kind words PK....Yeah the desert --- DG is one of my mentors as is Steve Hackett and Pat Metheny. The PRS guitar was played through a Roland GP100. I very seldom use plugins. The drum/percussion loop was played by Bill Bruford.

I enjoyed listening to you track, very cool piano parts, nice use of space

bp,
Great song, man...I know exactly what Micah means about your voice. Basically, it's so deceptively simple that, at first, you might wonder if it's any good or not. But then, it grows on you and you realize how cool it is. Kinda like drinking good wine...bitter at first, but sho feels good after a while.
Plus I love your lyrics...there's a wry humor behind them that makes one enjoy the music even more. So there ya go...

Also, am I hearing way better drum programming on this than before?...Is it that you're getting better with Reason...or what are you using on this?

bp,
i totally agree, in fact, i hear alot of Mic Jagger, only singing with a lower velocity. Awesome song though, i like everything, especially the guitars.

Warning, the following is a commercial message.
I bought my DIGI pretty much exclusively to do this project Stravinsky's Rite of Spring arranged for electric guitar, electric bass and percussion.
It took about two years. As y'all are learned in this sort of thing, I used a MIDI drum module (Alesis DM PRO) for the drums, and I really tried to make it sound like a real drummer. I figure every drum/cymbal hit averaged about 20 mouse clicks/ key strokes. Anyway, I have an MP3 condensation of the first 15 minutes.

WOW, that's quite a piece. Must have been a labor of love.
The drums sound great. Some nice guitar playing too.
Good job.

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

Jeezus Scummyjob. That's about the most ambitious and fascinating piece I've heard here or anywhere else for a long time. I think Stravinsky would have loved it.

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

Scummyjob- nice piece, I like it. The drums sound great. The only critique I could give is the overall volume is a bit low. Now that you're done with your project might I suggest you use your free time to find a new job.
