Sounds good to me, Ray, can hear the vocals much better than the last version I heard.

Guitars sound great, as does the bass.

I like these performance videos you do, fun stuff!

What kind of guitar is that playing the rhythm, looks like an upside down strat?

Thanks Dave.
The guitar is a Guyatone LG125 half Mosrite and half someone's elongated imagination.
It should have two P90s but the bridge one was replaced with a humbucker before I acquired it. Weirdly good & goodly weird.

Words won't do, Ray, but... These may give you a sense of how good I think your music is. I haven't played, nor do I listen to your STYLE of music, but, man, this is sooo good from beginning to end. Total respect for you and the quality of what you can do.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Ray,
This is one of the coolest songs I heard by you (top 3 for sure). Don't listen to any suggestive comments not to get derailed. It is perfect!

I assume it is all you + Bandi(lol) and magic dust by Fran?

Excellent!!! Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

That is VERY kind of you sir.
It was my 1st time writing to a specific key/s and for the specific purpose of trying to find one that I could almost sing in.
The song was written in BIAB which made the above specific far, far easier.

Thank you fj, the result was, in no small part, down to your forensic observation and suggestion skills.
I don't drink so the shirt n tie are substitutes for the belt I needed to do the video.

Misha.

I decided to finish the song for that very reason Misha: I had some excellent suggestions that lead me in the right direction but also, elsewhere, others that were pulling the song away from it's direction & vibe.
Thank you for your ongoing positivism.

Greg,
Thank you kind fellow.
I don't "master" as my hearing and skills aren't up to it. For the past eight or so years I've sent my mixes to Fran Ashcroft in the UK to master for me.
He'll let me know if the mix is deficient in some area, needs an EQ adjustment or panning change and then masters with a musical ear.
Happy Beat
He's a performer, engineer, producer and ME so brings the whole bag perspective to doing the mastering for me.


Cheers

"I don't "master" as my hearing and skills aren't up to it. "

I suspect your skills are up to and I know that your ears are more than up to it!

Everything sounds great Ray and man does that effect on your eyes go with the "shocker" tie smile Cool!!!

Really a fine mix/master ... the soundstage placement of the guitars and your vocal is impressive. Separate yet
blended is the best way I can describe it.

I really like your videos. We used to do one for every song but grew tired of the time it took
and they were nowhere as complex as yours. Yours are engaging but not to the extent
that they distract from the music. That's a sweet spot lots of folks can't seem to hit.

Glad Dave asked the guitar question...I was wondering.

This is so PUNK in so many ways. Dystopian in other ways. From the guitars and the music to the video.

In the pocket the entire time.

The video really sets the tone of this.

Nice work.

Thanks for the kind words.
This video was, perhaps, the fastest and easiest thus far.
I spend 40 mins filming, (several attempts where the camera was off or on still etc), and then a bit of time searching the net for creative commons clips to use as the background.
A couple of hours editing, for a codger like me retired & in lockdown, was fun and filled time.
Again, thanks for your very kind words.


Cheers
