Scott and I had been working on a very mellow song. About ready to mix that and I had a flashback to the music that got me through my teens... life centred around surviving school and getting home to stack the spindle and crank the volume as loud as my mum and suburban Britain permitted. If you don`t get at least half the song references here... well, where were you in 1969?

Robert, Scott Nice flashback and collaboration! If I didn't know it was done now, I would say 70s for sure. Great capture! Yep, those rebellious school days! Guitar is very fun starting 3:05 Misha.

Nice bit of neopysch gents. I do wish you'd treated the repeated lines at the end of verse with some sort of psych effect to accentuate it but as it is the Byrds wouldn't have knocked it back - pity you didn't have a Ricky 12 at hand. The lyrical quotations were fun to place. Very enjoyable.

I miss the vinyl. Love the music of the line "Vinyl Spiral." Lyrics are excellent. Great opening line "staring out at the wind sock sentry." That line is musical without any music!

Robert and Scott,
The lyrics and the style of the lyrics are incredibly rich with memorabilia of the 60s. This song is a very vivid journey into past times.
It's two enthusiastic thumbs up from me!
All the best, Noel

Robert & Scott,
A very cool psych-rock sound and an excellent lyric to go with it.
A good cohesive sound to the backing. Good use of the drums and the organ. The vocal sits in a nice place (I thought some background vocals would suit this well).
Scott - some of your best work! I really like the little touch of wah (I think?) in there...
Scrobertology! continues...
Nice.

Really well done guys - 1969 was certainly many moons before I came along, but I still got quite a few of the referenced and really liked the tune. The throttle on those guitars is fantastic! I love how much energy in behind this tune. Definitely can imagine this sounding unreal live. Great work, and thanks for sharing
Cheers, Deryk

Yeah, now you're talking!!
You guys do this style so well, and this is your best yet IMHO. Has the late 60's early 70's San Francisco vibe happening, and I loved that music, still do.
I was studying the song graphic, are those your albums? Recognized some of them. Surrealistic Pillow is one that I still have in my vinyl collection, listened to it many times.
Fun lyrics, I liked all the little song quotes in there.
Really good vocal, Robert, and Scott always comes up with great guitar parts.
Very much enjoyed, nice work you two!

Nice description of where this came from, Jim- thanks for listening! Nice bit of neopysch gents.

Lyrics are excellent. Great opening line "staring out at the wind sock sentry." That line is musical without any music! I`m glad you liked that structure in the chorus. Positive feedback on the lyrics is good to hear. Thank you! Robert

Vinyls are really coming back in to popularity again. In Victoria alone we have so many record shops I've lost count, and I just picked up about 6 new records to play at home.
This was awesome. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers, Ember

Wow guys, beautifully psychedelic with twists and turns in the melody that kept my attention all the way through! Robert your vocal is perfect for this type of song (not to mention your wonderful gift for lyric writing) and Scott's guitar work complimented perfectly! I really liked the wah parts in the middle! Thanks, Torrey

I am so glad that this is song is well received. Not only was this a fun song to partake in boy could I relate. I remember when Robert first sent the song lyrics I was smiling while reading them. Definitely hit the nail on the head. Glad you liked the guitar work. I personally thing this is one of Roberts best vocals, backtracks and loved the way he mixed it.

Bud remembers every reference...dunno if that's good or bad! He was 23 Janice was but 12 years old so she remembers it from a secondary perspective Inserting all those period song references was an excellent idea and it worked so nicely! You guys own this neo-pysychedelia niche...the vocal, arrangement and, man, that guitar all nailed the vibe. Extraordinarily cool or should I say groovy! J&B

Nice.
fj Floyd, OOh, good word that! Thanks for the positives. I find working with anything more complicated than "generate track" on RT drums challenging... maybe I just got lucky here. Totally agree that Scott ( with new amp, I think) nailed the solo and background tracks . Really well done guys - 1969 was certainly many moons before I came along, but I still got quite a few of the referenced and really liked the tune. The throttle on those guitars is fantastic! I love how much energy in behind this tune. Definitely can imagine this sounding unreal live. Great work, and thanks for sharing Deryk, Its cool that you got some of the references and I`m happy the energy came through. Thanks for commenting. Yeah, now you're talking!!

Very much enjoyed, nice work you two! Dave, Not my albums, but I picked the picture `cos of that Airplane record. I had a darn good collection of all the psychedelic bands and foolishly never got around to bringing them to Canada when I left the UK in`75. Thank you very much for those kind comments! Robert

This was awesome. Thanks for sharing! Ember, I stopped buying any physical form of music 10 years ago... vinyl could get me back starting another collection.Make my own spiral with some of those great sleeves! Thanks for your listen and comments. Robert

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
