I posted the unfinished version awhile back. An old band mate(I'm talking 1975)got in touch with me after 30 years and
He did the basic composition and arrangement on fruityloops, I layered 3 guitar tracks over it and Arjen (aka Ingar Hillstrom) added the strings and maniacal voice in the background.Barry(Smokehouse) did the bit of harp at the end.
Mike and I was in a band in the mid 70's, we where both 15 at the time.As some of you may remember me talking about my "Spinal Tap" Gig from hell. You know, the one where the drummer and bass player quit before the gig and we had to play "Free form" For two hours at the local YMCA. :lol: I haven't seen Mike since about 1979.So this is the first time since 1979 that we have collaborated on anything 8)
It's always funny when you encounter an old mate. I had a similar experience last summer. He was one of my better friends but the life made we followed different paths. Now both run so we already ran a couple of races together and we've planned several more.
Congrats on the work and also on restarting a project with an old mate!
This sounds like a film score to me. Very "industrial" feel to it. Good job all. 8)

Dog,
I liked that alot had alittle bite to it. Need to add some bass or up it in the mix a bit to really make it heavy sounding.

It's a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll!
Great job all!
I enjoyed it all the way through.
Bass levels sound good to me.

Thanks guys :D I really love the string section and maniacal laughter from Arjen.This was a fun project to do .I Googled the picture of the "Mad Dutchman" . I thought it fit the theme in an odd way. I have no Idea Why Mike named this "Tub Bubbles" :?: :lol:
Dog,
I didn't mean to imply there was anything wrong with the bass I just would like to have it a bit heavier and ya the Tub Bubbles thing threw me off. I wasn't going to listen to it at first, I was afraid it might be a Don Ho ripoff, HA!, but it definitely was worth listening to. Nice job all you guys!

If it wasn't for the strings I would have added some bass. I just wanted the the strings to carry the tune a bit more.I thought it was all pretty tripped out. And thats a good thing IMHO 8) 8)
