It’s ok. I guess I’ll do them myself.

9th track from my upcoming CD "Outtakes II"
I am really curious to know what prog rock group you guys think this sounds like because after going through all my influences from the 70s, I can't think of one in particular.
Gateway To The Galaxy
Shifting time and space
Oh I'm in such a happy place
I see Venus, I see Mars
I see my life hopping bars
If only I could escape
Is it really not my fate
Floating endlessly about
In space they can't hear you shout
Lift off it's come to pass
This rocket's going fast
The heat of Mercury
As far as I can see
Jupiter's on the way
To live another day
Pluto you used to be
A planet I could see
But for now it's just you and me
Gateway to the galaxy
Beyond who knows what's there
Truth told I do not care
I only want to live
I need the stars to give
Whatever comes to me
I will just wait and see
No one can take away
This joy I have today
But for now it's just you and me
Gateway to the galaxy
Instrumental Break
And so it's time to leave
I hope you will believe
I had to go this way
To live another day
Someday I will return
That's when you all will learn
That this was meant to be
I need to be set free
But for now it's just you and me
Gateway to the galaxy

Except Styx was never really that prog. They were more hard rock and sometimes flat out pop rock. I certainly wouldn't put them in the same category with Yes, Kansas, Gentle Giant and groups like that.

"What prog rock group you guys think this sounds like because after going through all my influences from the 70s"....... Sounds like Genesis "Firth of Fifth" with a dash of "Moonlit Knight". The sound instrumentation was spot on in most the song. The challenges are a clumsy transition at 1:38 and 3:35. In typical Prog fashion you re-introduce the opening motif and close. Could you please review my last tune “Cities Fueled” it has not gotten any comments yet. Thanks.

3:28 nice guitar. Quite Pink Floyd-ish.
Like how you arranged the end of the verse, the last two lines. It added a bit of energy.
It was good; the track seemed to be a "journey" which fitted in well with the subject.

Thanks. These kind of tracks are always so hard to do. Prog rock is not for the timid. Sometimes I pull these off and sometimes, well, not so much. This one, somewhere kind of in between. Done better, done worse.Bansaw wrote: Tue Jun 23, 2020 12:13 pm 3:28 nice guitar. Quite Pink Floyd-ish.

If you’re talking more so prog, maybe Yes? The riffs remind me of something from Yes’ 90210 album from Owner Of A Lonely Heart mixed with Roundabout from the 70s.
I also hear a bit of Lamb Lies Down On Broadway by Genesis in there, and some King Crimson. Definitely you could use a Moog bass sound in there playing alongside the bass guitar sound, and it would also work. That synth solo gives me more Arp vibes, but the 2600 was something Genesis used so it makes sense too,
I can see how Styx is a bit more poppier, but the transitions between slow and fast reminded me of Angry Young Man by them.
Also, is the Mellotron from M-Tron Pro?

Well, these are all groups I listened to growing up as a kid so it's no surprise if you hear any or all of them in just about anything I do.Music Bird wrote: Tue Jun 23, 2020 12:26 pm If you’re talking more so prog, maybe Yes?

Yeah, some of the synths you use remind me of Rick Waksman and Tony Banks, and also King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard vibes from the Mellotron flute. They’re a new psych and prog rock band who I think you’ll like.

10th track from my upcoming CD "Outtakes II"
Make sure you have your insulin shot before listening to this.
You Make The World Go Boom
You got it girl
Set my heart on fire
Get me all worked up
No I'm not a liar
How I want you more
When I see your face
No one else like you
In the human race
You make the world go boom
Everyone else gets blown away
You make the world go boom
Hey, hey, hey
Ever since we met
You were the only one
Way you moved your bod
Made me feel so young
We could get it on
Yeah just you and me
Don't you want me too
Baby can't you see
Repeat Chorus
Boom. Boom. Boom
Boom, Boom, Boom
Boom, Boom, Boom
Yeah
Repeat Chorus To Fade

Reminds me of some 80’s Japanese or Korean music for some reason. Maybe it’s the sugary synths.

The background vocals might have something to do with it too.Music Bird wrote: Wed Jun 24, 2020 6:49 pm Reminds me of some 80’s Japanese or Korean music for some reason. Maybe it’s the sugary synths.
