hey man how you been,
I remember this, ya that odd timing is cool
the vocal really puts a stamp on it eh,
has some influence in a good way
good stuff, could've went on that lead at the end for a bit, but you know me..go for it

Indeed

Thanx guys. Any comments for the mix. First time I'm mixing 8 vocal tracks

BTW who's that 60 something posts "lizards" guy

The mix sounds good to my ears.

I agree with the Zappa comment - as soon as it started, I thought it was Zappa-esque.
Great job, guys!

I only have one critisism - I know this was originally for the comp, but maybe do an extended mix of this version? I think it would really benefit from being a full song.

Thank you very much, Glassback!

Extended version: good idea. Some part without vocals.

Thanx for the comments Mick. A longer version? I'll leave this to mello. Right Chris?

Ok. It will be more repetitive.

RAW bro!! RAAAAAWWW!!!!!! haha, I don't know if the vocals really match the track, but its cool, anxt and jaded!! I do really like the riff of this song.... I think its more how they sit in the mix rather than any thing else, too loid? Other wise very enjoyable!

Thanx for taking the time mate. You're the second one who finds vocals mixed a bit too loud (first one was on PM). I tend to agree. I'll try to make a more balanced mix of this. Maybe it's just a matter of a few dbs lower for the vocal bus.

mellotronaut · Post by **mellotronaut** » Fri Jun 16, 2006 8:26 am

Yes, system era is right. The vocals are a bit too loud in the mix. I was just listening again after having read this review. You know, every guitarist and every singer wants to be heard (vanity fair)...... . Max also said that I was a bit too loud like a 'schlager-saenger'.
Thank you very much for the review, System Era! Critical reviews are highly appreciated and very important to get things better.
