Hi Robertkc

Nice, reminds me of a simpler time, which makes life more clearly remembered. Good song

Robert,

I'm with Bob Dean, the lines...

Quote:
this ain`t no time
for your one man show
there`s no king here
everybody`s gotta row

...are excellent. Very inspired lyrics indeed.

I found this journey fascinating, hypnotic and the effects were incredibly atmospheric.... science fiction meets science fantasy meets the end of the world in folk style. Sounds like you might have invented a whole new genre! There is a ton of creativity on show here.

Thanks for sharing this. I enjoyed the ride on Saving Grace.

All the best,
Noel

Really cool tune. LOVE the guitar finger picking. Very thoughtful and thought provoking lyrics. Your vocal on this seemed to fit the material perfectly. Nice job all around.

I`ll take "evocative" anytime- much appreciated, Peter!

Two thumbs up.


Mario,
The sci-fi sounds were a happy find on Looperman - some very good free sounds there.
Thanks for your thumbs up!

The characteristics of your melody are outstanding.
These folky songs are perfect for you, and your vocals are also very pleasant.
Your Loop selection is very effective as usual.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hi Shigeki,

Very simple chords this time; I`m happy you liked the melody they led me to.
Thanks for your kind comments.

Robert, This is kind of a science fiction psychedelic folk song. Very interesting lyrics that take the listener on a image inducing ride. So very unique and all the while so listenable. I enjoyed it very much, Tom

Very well done Robert. The track build throughout and your vocal performance really set up the lyric. Very textured.

The soundstage is excellent on our monitors -- never use cans.

Folk meets the future...how cool is that?!

Most enjoyable.

J&B,

Don`t worry, that Consulate can`t touch your woodsy hangout...your force field protects you!
I only listen on monitors to check the headphone mix so happy it worked for you.

All good to my ears. A bit of a mash up, and it worked really well. A lot of subtle stuff went wooshing by me.

As J&B said, "future folk".

Now I'll need to check out ReaSurround - you've got me curious.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Noel,
Thank you for that... your the reviews are so positive and thoughtful, I have a feeling you`d be as close to a king as anyone would want on a lifeboat!

Tom,
I guess the theme of escape to a better world has been covered so many ways - glad you found my version different.
Thanks for your thumbs up.

If mash-up means "fusion", I like that!
I probably used the ReaSurround in the most unsophisticated way possible ( moving the track across the field in "latch" mode)- no doubt there`s alot more that can be done.
Thanks for your listen and comments.
