https://soundcloud.com/scott-schwarz-740132899/angel-1I wrote this as a mid-sixties power-pop rock song. Using the HROCKLA style gave me the sound I wanted, and I added an acoustic guitar and an organ. I'm not quite happy with the mix yet. Real Tracks: RealBass 995 Bass, Electric, HardRockLA Ev 120 RealDrums-RockHardLA^7-BllRide,CrshRde RealGuitar 999 Guitar, Electric, Rhythm HardRockLAFuzzyA RealStrings 996 Guitar, Electric, Rhythm HardRockLACrisp RT690 Organ, B3, Background Pop Ev 165 RT1683 Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm PopPromise Ev16 100 Lyrics I heard the voice of an angel calling Lifting my heart when my spirit was falling How could someone be so celestial Spinning through my mind like a mirrored carousel How do you kiss an angel Float on her wings I’ll never tell Her of my visions I’d burn in hell How do you kiss an angel I heard the voice of an angel beside me Stealing my smile and the secrets inside me How could someone be so celestial Spinning through my mind like a mirrored carousel How do you kiss an angel Float on her wings I’ll never tell Her of my visions I’d burn in hell How do you kiss an angel Living with this apparition She’s got a face for memorization Giving her my adoration Only with my eyes How do you kiss an angel Float on her wings I’ll never tell Her of my visions I’d burn in hell How do you kiss an angel I heard the voice of an angel singing How do you kiss an angel...

Great work on this one  Love the groove and the old school vibes here. I'm getting an 80's feel here, which is never a bad thing in my books. The production is solid too, and your vocals are really memorable. Nice job - thanks for sharing!

This is catchy and has the energy of power pop; you picked good RT`s for the big driving sound and your vocals/harmonies are excellent.
Enjoyed!

Well done!! Very good vibe. Excellent vocals. It seems to me that drums could come up a bit but I'm listening on a subpar system. Great job!! Take care. Greg

I thought the drums were too loud, but I think it was the mix: It was a bit muddy. I remixed the song this morning, and it sounds less muddy.

Nice and powerful stuff indeed.
About the mix itself, I would try a slightly different bassdrum (kick), this one appears to cut down the volume for some reason. Did you by chance use a lot of compression?

It is a really good song and I enjoyed listening to it.
I will have to agree with some of the others, that the drums sounds a bit "buried" in the mix - as if the guy playing them is in another room. It could make the track even better if the drums were a bit louder and clearer.
But that said it is still a very nice track!

Rob Thanks for the tip. I cut the compression, and tweaked the EQ of the drums.

I like this! A very cool late 80's / early 90s sound.
Good vocal and mix - a lot of energy.

Power Pop yeah!
Harmonies are ace.
Mind you I reckon the carousel line leads it into psych territory - maybe you should do a pysch arrangement as well.
Coooool song - very, very well done.

Straightforward pop, very catchy. As rayc said, the harmonies - which make the song - are ace. Didn't expect the maj7 ending!

Ezekiel's Storm:
Magnetic out of the gate—great sound. Yes, a mid sixties sound, but has an eighties vibe to me as well. Love those drums and great harmonies. This is an upbeat, foot-tapping, head-bobbing winner. Really nice touches on the production. Terrific job on this one—enjoyed every note from start to finish.
Regards,
Deej

Coooool song - very, very well done. It's funny that you mentioned the carousel line with the psych: I was going to experiment with panning the sound around at that section and add some vocal effect, but I got so frustrated trying to the mix to sound halfway decent that I scrapped that idea for the now. Thanks, Ray.
