Ever felt like the line between 'you' and 'the rest' gets pretty blurry?
The Asylum's Anthem

We're sinking
Drifting out of place.
Away.
Away.
Leave no trace.
Leave no trace behind.

I find this one more dynamic than most of your stuff. Very cool sounding. Very progressive, yet you say your piece and get out 8) The only thing I would do different is maybe add some Hammond organ in the background. Just me though, its great the way it is :wink:

very impressive. that left channel guitar hijinx was handled well. I don' t believe I have heard a drum track like this in your work. I like it. your singing is really good on this too. I am reminded of the eighties. only the singing is much better and there are guitars. Echo and the Bunnymen come to mind. and you blew them out of the water.

or 70's - like The Doors.
Freaky, eerie rock.
I love it. I played it 4 times.
Sounds like your building material for a Rock Opera. (or is it a Rock Asylum Opera?)
This sounds like a lead-in to another song.
You gotta a story line in mind?

It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.

Thanks for the kind words people. :)

Dog: yeah, I've been thinking about it, a hammond could add more depth to the piece if I bring it slowly. Will think about it.

Ken: I'm definitely building up material for a larger conceptual project. It won't have a storyline with a beginning, middle or end but it should sound like a painting, in a way. Each song will be a part of the painting, and together they should sound as one organic an flowing sonical color. I guess. But talking about painting with sounds make my head hurt, not very easy to explain.

Wow, dude, that was awesome. One of the best things I've heard come out of this board. That is some tone you've got goin there. Is that a drum machine?

Really nice job on the vocals too. Normally I would say that that's too much reverb, but it fits the song perfectly.

Awesome job!

One chord is fine.
Two you're pushing it.
Three and you're into jazz.

I keep on forgetting to reply, dunno why. In any case: thanks Pearl for the kind words. :) I think I already responded to you, El, if not thanks all the same. :D

amazing stuff, not patronizing honest.
liked the layers, drum intro blew me away.
had some trouble understanding the first part of the vocals, but when i went back to read the lyrics during my second listen i heard better enunciation then i thought previously.
first run through i was not fond of the second guitar bit, but after several listens it really grew on me and needs to be there.
i hear early floyd, and a mix of several more current influences as well as flavor from your other stuff.

Yep.
You need to expand on this.
Draw it out more.
It's too good to be this short.
Add more lyrics. (More) Louder cymbal crashing?
Make it a Moody Blues/Pink Floyd trip.

It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.

By the way,
your lyrics came in quote form.
Who were you quoting?

Twisted: thanks for the kind words. I guess it's the reverb that makes it a bit awkward to hear the first time, plus ofcourse the fact that my pronounciation isn't as native as I'd want it to be.

Ken: Strechting will be hard because I've said what I wanted to say. If I stretch it it will be longer but also less powerful, I guess. I quoted nobody btw, I just like to use the [`quote] [`/quote] tags around them, makes it look more fancy. ;)
