Hi Y'all,
I'm starting to wrap up production on a new album. I had one song that just wasn't fitting anywhere in the album, so I decided to drop it. Its a interesting piece - it has like 6 or 7 different composed sections to it, and its less then 7 minutes long. Anyhow, I wondering if people enjoyed it or not.

Thanks,
GF

me like very much
only minor minor issue for me is the piano - sounds a little brite and tinny, and maybe a little too loud, to me. but only very marginally. i reckon itd do better a little further back in the mix.

Thanks yo. I'm actually revisiting that track right now - trying to get put some slide guitar on top and re-do the ending.

I'm only using Live these days. I kinda ditched Reason when Live had the MIDI + VST.

I've updated this song with some guitar. I think the song has a much stronger sound now: http://www.generalfuzz.com/mp3/Cool%20A ... 0steps.mp3

I like a lot of the stuff going on here GF, I like the progression of the track, some great bass grooves, the outro slide guitars are very cool - not crazy about the slightly syrupy turn it takes in the last 30 seconds or so.
However, I have to say I'm hearing some serious timing issues with the electric guitars in the intro, and I think their levels may be a little hot. Other than that the only thing I'd say is ditch the GM/M1 sounding piano for something more full bodied.
