> And, BTW, your voice holds more than its own on this one. Nicely done!
Thanks for the kind words, Deej! Although this song was just loops, I did put a lot of time into getting it to sound the way it did. And thanks for the comments on my singing! I'll take all the support I can get!

Thanks so much, Floyd! Made my day! I will have to dig out my old computer to gain access to the original tracks, but I will do that someday and fix the vocal (hopefully).

Ray, thanks for taking the time to write such a great and detailed review! Meant the world! Yes, there is no album like Berlin that I'm aware of. I didn't like it at first but man, did it grow on me.

Dan,
I'm so jacked that you and others have mentioned this sounds like Bowie! Great to hear. I like that particular quatrain that you cited but I can see how it works from your angle. I will redo the vocal on this some day and maybe I'll change the lyric as well. We'll see.

Hey Dave,
Thanks for the review. I'm going to redo the vocals someday, I'll use your suggestions when I do that (hopefully sooner than later). Thanks again!

Hey Alan,
Thanks for the review! I'm not a great musician or singer so I feel like I need to make up for it with that creativity you mentioned. Thanks for the tips on remixing the vox, I plan on doing that.

Thanks, Anne Marie, I know I'm not a great singer (or even a good singer) but sometimes I get lucky!

> Your best no doubt.
Janne,
Thanks for such a great and detailed review! Yes, I should've given it a better ending and it would've been so easy to do. I don't know why I did what I did.
I thought that there had been a handful of Halloween songs on here in the four years I've been on, but I'm probably wrong. I am probably mixing things up with my old blues harmonica forum that is extinct now.

Hi Bob.
What a great listen!!!
Adventurous writing... amazing arranging.... incredibly atmospheric producing... these all come together to create a really fine work of musical art. As others above me have said, your vocals are a great fit for the arrangement and the material.
You kept me entertained and mesmerised from start to end.
All the best,
Noel

Well, first off that serene opening before the dark, brooding feel is perfect. The Bowie vibe is strong.
The loops are impressive. Drums are standout.
Your vocal sounds good and the transitions to spoken word work very well.
You sell yourself WAY too short regarding vocals.
This is a very interesting lyric and Janice said she’s going to read “The Vampire Lestat ” again after listening to this. Like Robert, we’re feeling kinda sorry for him.
Enjoyed it!

I see no issues with your vocals, contrary I think they work very well on this tune. Fun stuff and timely release. Thank you for sharing.

Hi, Rob.
Very cool intro. Cool sound. Vocals are fine, especially given the sound you're going for.
Good drama, fun listen.
Good prep for Halloween!
