That was fun - lizard/reptile brain & Fight or Flight response were BUZZ word of the late 80s early 90s.
Interesting arrangement - it worked the best when sparse. The rhythm guitar is, perhaps, too normal, (might need some DUB in & out of the mix, massive reverb/delay treatment to be less ordinary).
Good stuff.


Cheers

Ha,
That's unique for sure!
Ya know, the number one artist these days is Billie Eilish.
I think you could give her some competition:

Food for thought.

Thank you Captain.
Never heard of Billie Eillish before and thoroughly enjoyed meeting her on utube.
Cheers.

This surely wakes up my lizard brain with very hypnotic rhythm, I hope there are no subliminal commands smile Different, strange yet modern, unique sound landscape. Excellent use of BIAB.

Unique!
I love it...
And I imagine you had a lot of fun putting this one together!

Where in the world did you come up with the concept?

It sounds like something Rayc would do.

Very cool!

Hi Janne.
Now there's an idea I must try.
Embedded subliminal commands.
Thanks for such positive comments.
Cheers.

Hi Jim.
Thanks for the support.
Just trying to figure out how to use RealBand and Realtracks again, forgotten over the last couple of years, keeping the lyrics to the minimum. I do enjoy these toys. Cheers.

Hypnotic stuff, RichMac!
In the start I thought 'what the heck is happening here?'
But then I got hypnotized by the melody.
That was the good thing about it, the bad thing is now the phrase 'Lizard Brain' stays around in my head.
I wonder for how long...

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

A weirdly charming refrain that; it sounds like you had fun with the effects.I was expecting a really heavy drum track/more grunge guitars to come in, but enjoyed the hypnotic repetitions.

Hi Hans,
Wish I knew. 'That phrase' has been bouncing around my head for weeks now. Thanks for listening and commenting.

Hi David. I'm really glad of that.

Man, is that ever entertaining. We were wondering how to express
our thoughts, went and read the comments and it would be hard
to beat what Janne said!

We have a large tin lizard as "yard art" and I don't think we'll ever
walk by it again w/o thinking of this song! smile

Fun.

Now try to find time to write another one of your unique songs!
