no comments?...is it so bad?

Some proper drama in there..! Don't know though what's specifically chinese/vampire about it though, the intro? Some sort of love song, right?

I liked the carefully selected delays on the vocals, except the one on "my call", which sounds like "my call Michael".. Some very nice composition with the drum fills etc as well. The spoken word part feels a bit buried with the guitar and all --- and please, oh please, don't end this with a fade out. The drama that hits around at four minutes was a bit surprising for me, and the fade out doesn't do it justice. There's also a ride or something there that sounds a bit dull (there in the latter part of the song).


Now that may sound like a lot of criticism but I really liked what you've done here, composition and mixwise. Well done.

thank you...this was really helpful...after listening to the track for 2.5 million times, i actually here only "swoooooshhhhbrooom"

ok...changed a few things. better?

I'm sorry, it's been a few days that I listened to the earlier version and can't really hear much differences (from what I remember how it was like) --- still a high quality production, though. Maybe the spoken word part is a bit clearer now and the ride is clearer too (it's an open hihat actually?), but I still get that "my call Michael".. Compliments on the nice stereo spread too.

If you're worried about the mix, I'd say don't worry, it's ready. Except the fade-out ...

love it!

lol...i never heard "michael" til you spotted it....now i hear it all the time

and ....done. hooray

Wow! excellent song... good playing and singing.. well made track.. sounds great.. thumbs up!
