Well Robert and I have decided to try something new. Robert floated the idea that since we had created quite a few song maybe we should present them as a band. So Spirit Level was born.
We have created a new Soundcloud page and will be posting our collaborations there from now on.

Our few song for the new site is called

Skyrim

Robert's inspiration for the lyrics are Psychedelic SciFi Catharsis.

I recorded and mixed my guitar tracks in Studio One. I transferred the realtracks using the drag and drop features from Realband. Could not believe how easy it was. Hope you like the new song.

The Lyrics

SkyRim

dive for pearls
of faralone
jewels of another life
among angelfish
faces banished
beg you to atone

dance through crowds
of cinnabar stars
on Insomnia Avenue
the dark interval waits
as muzac plays
eyes centre your heart

on the skyrim
with nothing left to lose
on the skyrim
gods fall into you

the Vertigo Lounge
sells upgrades
a day at Childhood`s End
on the Mirror Carousel
meet yourself
coming back the other way

on the skyrim
with nothing left to lose
on the skyrim
gods fall into you

when you`re hollow
through and through
no more the dark can do
gods fall into you
on the skyrim

Cool song. Very Psychedelic. Circa 1967. More Stones Satanic Majesty's Request than Sgt. Peppers. Congratulations to both of you. Good luck to the band.

Very poetic, sort of reminds me of the 60s psychedelic era, some of those oldie strange bands. Orange marmalade or something. Very different, I like it. Nice wah! wah! effect.

Scott & Robert ...

Your collabs are always exciting and great listens. This takes me back to the middle 60s ... just with better technology. Nice guitar work, Scott! The wha-wha sounded just right!And Robert ... sounding terrific on the vocal. Great backing tracks. A real nice listen. Not much of this music on the forum ... it's a nice addition!

Good luck with the new account. Will be looking for more songs as the days roll by. Nice stuff, gentlemen!!!

Best to both of you. Be safe ...

Alan

Hey, great idea of coming up with a band name for your collaborations! Very cool name too BTW.

Sort of a late 60's San Francisco vibe happening here, which is a good thing!

Nice one guys, enjoyed.

Spirit Level...

Cool band!! Flashback City!

The lyrics zoom over my head for the most part, but...
"gods fall into you
on the skyrim"
I like that.

Good mix - especially for the style. Vocal is tucked in nicely.

Super guitar outro!!

Thanks so much for checking out the song. This was lots of fun to work on. Roberts vocal and lyrics took us back to a time when having fun was number one priority. Glad you liked the song

Hi Scott and Robert,

I can imagine you must have had a lot of fun producing this song. It's indeed very psychedelic as Jptjptjptjptjptjpt said.
And there Spirit Level was born! The name gives some associations with liquor, but I don't believe you're using that so much.
I have something to confess: I listened to the song, read the lyrics, I love Roberts' voice and because you are professionals in music it must be very good song, but this isn't my kind of music. So don't be angry with me, just try to accept you have to deal with those people too...

But stay safe,
Hans

Thanks for the listens and comments. I had fun with the rhythm track on this song; holds on beats one and three for all instruments creating a variation that sounds unusual for BiaB.
The lyrics, of course, were written after muting the "make sense" button!
After 30 or so collaborations with Scott its nice to have a site to collect them.
The name? You`ve heard Court Of The Crimson King by King Crimson, but have you heard Spirit Level by Spirit Level?

Just listened to Spirit Level by you guys. Reminds me of a Neil Young song if it was a little more rocky. But very nice, I really like the alternative style.

Or maybe The Blue Magoos or the Count Five to name a couple.

Very 60's psychedelic genre for sure. And extremely well done.

I like it a lot. In fact it brought me back to that time.

SkyRim

Great overall sound, had a bit of a progressive rock thing going as well as the 60's psychodelica.

Very nice collaboration.

Oh, yeah, I can see everyone running through Golden Gate Park. Great new Band name. Guitars sound great, Scott, and the lyrics are perfect this, Robert.

Enjoy whatever happens!

I couldn't help but think of the iconic video game called Skyrim when listening to this. Liked the energy in it, and the guitar was very, very good. Of course, I am a big fan of RKC's lyrics and that was the usual treat. Thanks guys!

Thanks Dave Glad you like the song. This type of music was a daily staple when I was teenager. Glad you like the name of the band. Robert picked this one out. Was a perfect fit.

Well as one who made the obligatory trip to Haight Ashbury in the 60’s and as one who actually wore a Neru jacket I feel qualified to offer an opinion: I like it! And so does Janice although our 12 year age difference made her a grade schooler then smile

The sound is a bit more progressive than the classic psychedelia of the era but the lyric and vocal really capture it as does that super cool wah wah.

And, if I might say, this collab really captures the spirit of this forum.

Kudos,

J&B
