Bob...love the band you assembled...your voice is compelling in this type of environment...the song has a haunting, abstract element that works well for the lyric...interesting and enjoyable!

Janne,
Thanks. That's very kind of you.
Yes, that 4009 guitar is a great track. It tended to go off beat a bit, so had to be edited / managed. I was happy with the end result.

Well, I REALLY loved this one. The lyrics are stunning, and your treatment of them, through the music, is excellent ... very "psychedelic", allowing us to get a picture in our mind of the lyrics in a more "unconventional" manner (i.e. painting, instead of telling, as it were). Anyway ... bravo. Absolutely loved it.

I like what you did with the instrumentation. You've created a mysteriousness in the sound.
Good lyrics, as I expect from you.
This is one of your best. Very memorable and compelling.

It's really cool to hear people here starting to get into using synths and exploring other genres other than what they are comfortable in. That's how we grow as writers and musicians.
Nice... yeah the vox could come up a bit in some places.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

As Marty mentioned this is indeed hypnotic. floyd stated it best: "The nice thing about this is it "sounds modern" (I'm getting to where I hate hearing that phrase again) without "trying". It just IS." Yes! but it's also reminiscent of Steve Winwood’s 80’s sound. Which we much like. Great lyric - another poem for Janice’s collection of yours  Kudo! J&B
