The Myrmidons of FanaticaI thought Scott`s guitar was sounding beautifully mellow on his instrumentals lately and mentioned that when I sent him this doom-rock concoction. Don`t ask me about the lyrics...but as the Borg say on Star Trek- resistance is futile!

Had allot of fun on this track. Love working with Robert.
For the guitar guys this is the technical stuff:
Took some experimentation to get the different sounds for the guitar.
Ran both guitars through a Dunlop wah then through two overdrive pedals. Maxon OD808 this into a Radial Texas Bones. Then came Boss Compression CS-2 and then Flashback X4 delay pedal. Amp is a handwired vox AC15

Robert & Scott
Amazing work - a progressive rock sort of throwback to the early 70's...but really defies description.
Love the treated vocals and liked Scott's choice of notes and wah playing.
Top stuff.

Wow guys,
Let me sum it up:
1. This is so original and creative!
2. Does not sound like band in a box at all
3. Such an atmosphere created here
4. Beautiful and very functional guitar work from Scott
5. And then there's that gloomy voice ;-) perfect for this song.
6. I detect several influences here: Fleetwood Mac, REM, Tom Petty, all favorites of mine!
This is just super!
Rob

Robert & Scott...
This is a cool musical experience! Well done from every angle.
Excellent vocals (a little echo/delay would be cool one it).
Excellent guitar work (some of your best, Scott). Cool.
What a BAND!
The choir is terrific.
The mix is excellent.
Y'all deserve a big WOW! on this...

Peter Peter, Thank you, that`s very kind. I had some ideas about making this in a modern dark electronic style, but it sounded dull - thankfully I knew Scott would light it up. Yes, lots of effects on the vocals ( thanks to the Dark Octave and Nine Inch SlapBack on Nectar Elements). Robert

WOW, the music itself would be a fabulous soundtrack for a mystery movie.
Different to what I normally listen to, but it caught my attention right away.
Well done guys

Robert and Scott, this is exceptional work! Robert your vocal on this is perfect for this one (it couldn't have been done better by anyone else). The BG vocals were done in fine fashion! Scott, I appreciate the time and effort spent crafting your sound on this. It was perfect for the feel of this song! Great work by you both! Take care, Torrey

Rob Rob & Anne-Marie, Its cool that you liked this! The song started with reading that myrmidon word in a spy novel and looking up the meaning,,, then a guy (named Rob!) mentioned that I sounded like Bryan Ferry a while back and I started listening to them and then all kinds of other bands from my past. I think I hit on the guitar driven sound while listening to Amon Duul, a dark German experimental band. Praise is due to Scott, not just for his guitar work but for going along with my wacky retro ideas. Robert

Folks have mentioned experimental. And we've been reading y'all's responses to other posts where you mention the thought process that went into putting this together...so we would call it a "thoughtful experiment" and one that worked extremely well. As David alluded to this would be good tune for sync licensing and it would fit several of the requests for music that I've seen on Sontradr.
The vocals and guitar are simply outstanding.
Previous posts have hit all the highlights already so we'll just say that you and scott jumped off a cliff and landed in a good place!

fj Floyd, Thank you for that... for myself I wasn`t sure it would sound like anything `til Scott sent his guitar recordings. I agree its up there with his best! I enjoyed making the "choir" ( 4 tracks looped and then run through the harmoniser,so 8 in all). Thanks for the suggestion on the vocals- I`ll have a listen with some delay and see if it fits. Mix was a big challenge mostly because my sorry laptop can`t handle that many tracks without complaining - the folk songs are a breeze in comparison. Robert

Robert,
You've outdone yourself with this! As I listened, I kept on thinking "This is a cinematic experience!" You've really pulled out all stops here.
Scott, your guitar work shines brilliantly! It's a perfect fit with Robert's musical extravaganza.
I cannot imagine how much effort has gone into getting this production together! It's incredible.
All the best,
Noel

Peter, Sergio and Rob thanks so much for the awesome comments. Was so glad to be invited to play on this song. When Robert sent it to me and I heard all the work he had done on the back track vocals and harmonies I was blown away. So very glad you liked it

Well done guys Graham, Thanks for taking a side trip with us way from your regular fare... funny, I got the idea from a spy novel. Robert Robert and Scott,

Hats off to both of you.
ALan Alan, Prog. rock bands often came up with the strangest ( most pretentious!) song titles, so I figured mine would be in good company. Glad you like the big sound; thanks for your positive comments. Robert This is awesome Robert and Scott. Great sound track work. I hope you have a sync licensing dealer. If not get one!! David, Thank you! I did sign up on songtradr if that`s the kind of thing you mean... "dealer" kind of scares me. Robert

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
