Impressions of WestWorld cobbled to a mantra from Paradise Lost, welded to a riff Scott came up with.

Was playing with some distortion and modulation and the main riff popped out. Then off to Robert for vocal, lyric which I think is one of his best and a very cool mix.

Two different guitars on this one:

Gibson ES335 and a Gibson SG
Amp was a Marshall 1974x
Effects were two Eventide H9s..

Robert / Scott,

This is an amazing production. I love the lyrics and vocal delivery - one of your best Robert, especially when you sing in the higher register.

Love Scott's guitar work. Tremendous chops and just a driving sound that never lets up here.

You guys could be the next Neil Young & Daniel Lanois... smile I could see this track fitting in perfectly on Le Noise.

The 1st verse gave me a very Violent Femmes vibe and the vocals, Robert, in that section were strident and strong - fabulous in fact.
A good riff to weld words to.
Nice one chaps.

Great work - loved the tune, I thought it sounded really inventive and nicely catchy. Loved your vocals on this one too. Rayc above compared it to Violent Femmes, which I can definitely understand. I'm a huge Violent Femmes man so maybe that's why this tune resonated with me.

Thanks so much for sharing!

Fantastic lyric well delivered. The musical portions were inspired and the mix, non-standard perhaps, but engaging. As a collaboration, it seems so right as to be inevitable.

Bob,
I`m glad you could hear how Scott`s riff drives this- the lyrics just seemed to fall in line with it easily.
Wow, I really should listen to some of the music I missed in the years I was building a house- I`ve never heard Le Noise but have it bookmarked now!
Thank for those very kind comments

Alan,
With one exception ( https://soundcloud.com/user-564042721/the-myrmidons-of-fanatica-with-guitar-by-scott-c ) this is probably the heaviest offering from us.
Thanks for your listen.

Thanks RayC,
I listened to that band for the first time yesterday and found them original and quirky... but not like this at all! Oh well- glad you approve of my vocals- fun to go big after all the ballads.

Robert/ Scott

An excellent listen, a nicely constructed piece, with strong complimentary guitar parts.
Enjoyed the lyrics and the vocals, especially the contrast in the high parts to the lows.

Very well done.

Robert & Scott
So unusual, brave and different! Such a cool collaboration! When music started, I thought that I might of clicked the wrong link smile
Musically, it is pure fun. Experimental, but not abusive to ears. Listens extremely well, even with the "feel" morphing throughout the tune. Loved how Scott's guitars shaped this. Lyrics are very futuristic. More please! Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Thanks everyone for checking out the song and the awesome comments. Song started out with an old late 60's guitar riff and Robert sprinkled some magic on it. Love the way this song turned out

Robert,

I love when you turn to your Rock side. "Theatrical Rock" is how I think of this - not sure if that is a genre, but it should be (early Genesis, King Crimson, etc). Your lyric style, your melody sense, AND your vocal ALL fit SO well into that niche. Super cool.

Scott's guitar work fits perfectly and adds another signature.

Excellent mix. Excellent music. Cool, cool song!!

"Impressions of WestWorld cobbled to a mantra from Paradise Lost,

Well that certainly sets the stage!

Man, that first verse grabs you from the get go and you
are along for the journey.

Dunno know what to call this...not that it matters!
Maybe very intelligent and musical folk psychedelia would
suffice smile

Wonderful melding of the vocal and guitar performances
with the lyric.

Different, well done in all aspects and a most
enjoyable listen.

Carry on you two!!!

You know a song is good when it has its own "sound" and this is very original. I can hear some influences in there but not pinpoint them - you've really brought them together. Looking forward to more like this.
