Scott, Robert and rayc,

The individuality of the three people is exquisitely mixed, creating a unique atmosphere.
Just adding rayc to the usual Spirit Level will change the performance so much.
Robert's vocal is one his best.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Ah, when I signed on here (a lil over an hour ago) this was the first post that caught my eye, and it was half way down the page. My method is to start at the top, so these painted roads were a blip on the map that I couldn't wait to reach --yeah, I know, so is a rest area and gas station. Love that haunting opening, Scott. Ray, great bass and, man, those drums are perfect. You guys have so much fun and a heavy dose of talent. Yeah, played a lot of Guess Who songs over the years, and Undone was my fav. Now I gotta go find that Unohoo, which I haven't heard.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Sadly, SoundCloud cut off the tail end of your song, where the guitar sustain fades to reverb. cry


Thanks David So glad you had a listen. Glad you liked it as well.

Applause!


Thanks for checking out the song. Robert has a wonderful way of describing experiences and life experiences. So glad you liked it.

I kept trying to turn it into a apocalyptical piece. (Is that how
that's spelt?) Nice job, Spirit Level.


Thanks Ed for checking out the song. Really appreciate your comments. Means allot. Thank you. Glad you liked it.

A really cool tapestry with the lyric and fine performances by all on vocals, guitar and bass.

That'll grab you from the get go for an enjoyable SL journey.

Excellent!

PS, Ozone seems to be working quite well for you Scott!




Thanks Janice and Bud. Really glad you liked it. Robert composed this song out while walking. It is amazing how well he puts works together to describe visual images.

Thanks for the thumbs up on the mix. I have been working hard. This mix was very much a collaboration between Robert Ray and myself. It was cool to hear how each one of us heard and envisioned the song and through referencing each others mix came to a center.

The mastering is very much a cool process as well. Using compression to manage dynamic range and volume is such a cool science.. Glad you liked the song

Loved it. This has a raw live feel to it and I really liked that. Everything about this is top shelf, great vocals, lyrics, instrumentation, mix, etc.

This is your best to date in IMHO.

I noticed RT guitars are included in the track list header; the rhythm guitars are actually both Ray`s; other than drums he`s the band bedrock here. Just making sure credit goes where it belongs!
I appreciate all the positive comments.

My very best to you all,

Thanks Deej for checking out the song and the awesome comments. Really appreciate it. Glad you liked the song.

Robert, nice vocals and phrasing! It is a bit different, but works really well with this particular tune. Ray, excellent playing. Done listening second time, bass still "walks" in my ears. Scott, cool atmospheric guitar, adds a different dimension to this tune! If there ever an album, this would make a great mid-list tune, to pivot remaining in any direction.
Thank you for sharing!

Misha.

Thanks Marty for the awesome comments. Had the gain turn to 11 so that I could hit those pinch harmonics. Neighbours had their binoculars wondering where the noise was coming from. Really glad you liked the song.

I'll try not to repeat what others have said, but I will just quickly mention the standouts for me.

Guitar opening pulls you right in like a rip tide.

Robert's vocal are his best, really stand out.

Love the bassline.

I enjoyed the overall mood of the song.

Lovely classic sounding guitar riff, works great as the intro and nicely used later. The bass and Scott's guitar play very well together, I think no RT bass could do that.
Robert's voice is almost unrecognizable, probably singing in a different way than usually, but anyway I like it, sounds like young Robert smile
Lyrically this is quite a painting which is not easily opened, vivid images, feels like a long obscure walk from a bar to home, but it is rewarding to step on these musically spirited painted roads.

Man, the energy on this track is off the chart. That guitar starts it off, then a great vocal by RKC. Best ever, I think. Great work all!

Howdy Scott, Ray and Robert.

I love that opening guitar riff. The tone, texture and melodic shape are perfect!!!

As others have noted, you've raised the bar with this on all levels. I love the ambience you all create when lyrics, arrangement and production join hands work together. It's very cool. A standout for me was how you used the stereo field. This is something I struggle with so it was great to listen to what you did. You gave me ideas!

All the best,
Noel

Thanks Janne this is definitely the music I grew up on. Roberts upper register gives his vocals a very cool new dynamic. Rays bass and guitar lines really lay down a solid bed for the song. So glad you liked it.
