Looking at all the different programs you used making the song is telling as to how intricately you had to work to pull all of this together. You did quite a nice job. Enjoyed the listen.

This is a very cool song. Can't put my finger on it but reminds me a band I like in the early 70's. Well done. Bass track is pretty neat..

yes, a very layered and interesting composition!!
nice separation.. it provides a real 3-d quality to the sound! I'd love to hear this in surround sound!

Considering the main body of the song is just 2 chords, you did an absolutely incredible job of keeping it interesting!

First time I've heard your music dpronk. Like it a lot. Got a funky vocal thing going there. You sample your voice doing that or did you sing it all across the track?

Hi Dpronk !:))


I liked your tune very much !
It is not only very well put
together but you´ve managed
to get a somewhat mystic sound
and feeling into it which makes
it even more interesting !:))

What an interesting sound. I LIKE it!!!

Great backing vocals behind the excellent lead.

You have a distinctive style which I like a lot. I would call it intelligent punk!

What an ending!!!
Brilliant

Thanks all for the very nice compliments. I'm blushing, hahaha
At Sslechta: I sang it along with the track, except for the "No political gain" backing vocals. I sang that once and then copied it, because I'm lazy..:P

Well, only one more song to go, and I will try and bring out an album smile
