Stand Still" I Say (ElectroProg - Seismic Excavation)

[seismic1]

This is great - I love the way the different elements are brought in and layered on top of each other, so that what starts out feeling fairly sombre ends up being really uplifting. And I've always been a sucker for a nice bit of Mellotron! Excellent track, lovely sound.

Thanks for listening and for the feedback, kryptonaut. Glad you liked it

I really enjoy building up tracks layer by layer, so it's always nice to hear that the process is working. I love putting those 'tron sounds into tracks. One of the bands I was in used to have a Mellotron, so I grew up with a heavy exposure to that sound. They could be temperamental.

cool nostalgic moving, reminds Jean Michel Jarre, nice synth arpeggios

I enjoyed the whole thing, but from around 4:40 to the end is especially nice. Thanks, seismic1.

Bloody hell Tim! Fantastic development as always, lovely melodic touches, great instrumentation, and I love the New Order vibe.

Fan-flippin-tastic

Driving beat, great arrangement which holds the interest from start to finish, great sounds and deft melodic touches. And a 'tron . What's not to like?

(Think I might have to get me one o' them RedTrons - it sounds terrif!)

Nice one, Tim

Thanks very much for listening and commenting, Matt. Glad you liked it

The improvements made from the original track to this remix were quite simple and yet so effective that the track is barely recognisable. But the fact of the matter is that I was telling myself that the original track was finished because I hadn't really enjoyed making it (or 3 of the previous 4 tracks). That was about to change.

anyway, you must be almost ready for your gig on Sunday. I hope it goes well.

Thanks muchly Tim! Yup, warm-ups are getting better. We'll probably jam once more before the gig.

Another wonderful track Tim


I love those bubbling synth lines, and the almost guitar like dreaminess that happens as well.

Just so much texture to experience as always.

Hey, Mike. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks very much for listening and for the compliments

It took me a while to become comfortable with the idea of mixing 'tron sounds into more modern settings but I think there can be a peaceful co-existence.
