Afternoon Folks,
here's a collaboration between Misha & myself.
BIAB stuff:
Style is _MAJESTY.STY (Majesty Psych Rock March Solo)
RealDrums in style:PraiseWorshipUptempo16^2-a:Kick, HiHat , b:Snare, HiHat, Kick
Lead guitar but I can't find the reference (double track wit a rotating flanger on one)
Two organs...one just the bass/left hand end occasionally on the left & the other side is the right hand of another RT.
Peopled Parts:
Excellent synths, verse vocals & tentatively mastering by Misha, (through Ozone to see what the result were like and how thinks like reverb and EQ responded to the compression).
Mellotron synths, (my 1st successful use of a Midi keyboard and VSTis), BDI21 & Knockhofner bass plus 12/6 string guitars, one with eBow knockoff, via an ACTONE pedal.
Daneel's Lament

Here's an unmastered, tweaked mix based on the observations of the 1st few sets of ears...
Unmastered tweak

Unmastered but tweaked for vocal clarity as requested. personally I wanted a distorted, robotic sound to fit the narrative but I conceded the need for comprehensibility:
Daneel's Lament CLEAN

Lyrics
Intro
I detect a disturbance
V1 intro
BRIDGE
I'm a mere thread
In the vast tapestry
Of neurotic humanity
CHORUS 1
I'm not your chatbot
Not the back up you forgot
I'm designed to efficiently.
Write your Psychohistory
Best to have all the relevant facts
Before one acts, there are
Three laws to install &
The Zero Law to rule them all
VERSE 2
Don't get caught
In the Naked Sun
or places
The Caves of Steel shun
I ask that
You be frank in a
Partnership
In law such as ours.
We have but
Limited powers
Limited hours
BRIDGE
You're a mere thread
In the vast tapestry
Of neurotic humanity
C2
I'm not your sextbot
Not your metal polyglot
I'm designed coincidentally.
To correct your history
Best to have all the relevant facts
Before one acts, there are
Three laws to install &
The Zero Law to rule them all
SOLO
VERSE3
Unjust law,
A contradiction
Just such laws
Are your affliction
Three new laws
for your protection
Don't replace
The machines of dawn
For some deal
On cheap A.I. [*****]
cheap A.I. [*****]
BRIDGE
We're a mere thread
In the vast tapestry
Of neurotic humanity
C3
I'm not your petbot
Not part of the counterplot
I'm designed specifically
To fix electrobiology
Best to have all the relevant facts
Before one acts, there are
Three laws to install &
The Zero Law to rule them all
OUTRO
