scott Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Posted July 18, 2008 Yay! Oh boy, this sure is a lot of fun kinda but it is exciting to track the page getting hit after hit we've got almost 700 now and 200 plays sweetness
blind-fitter Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 C&P of a PM I sent to Scott yesterday. I don't think he'll mind... I just listened to Abductee. Excellent stuff, really good; it rocked. A heck of a lot going on in that 5 minutes or so; with the additional joy of a lo-fi psychedelic wig-out (almost verging on prog-rock territory). It sounds really good as it is, but I can tell from your musicianship and ideas that if you were let loose with a really good studio and producer, that you can produce some interesting and exciting soundscapes of immensity and finesse. Although the psyche / prog / alt-rock influences you draw upon are all musics from past eras, this track still has a contemporary feel to it; probably because of the "post-rock" thread, but also the vocals have that choral quality that has been slightly voguish in the wake of The Polyphonic Spree / Arcade Fire thing. No offence intended. What I mean is, I guess, that whereas a guitar-orientated post-rock wig-out might not be to everbody's taste or attention span, the vocals add a more obvious melody and hook: I liked the way it came back in dramatically just before the end. The outcome is that I can't see any reason why the more mature discerning listener (some of those folks round here who tend to cling to musics from their own youth) wouldn't like this as much as the younger adventure-seeker / indie-rock types. It sort of spans the musical generations nicely. Again: no offence intended.
TheLizard Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 Man, this is good. I need to start a band, but all the drummers I know are douchebags.
Viaene Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 I think that song has great potential, I hope they notice that and someone offers you a studio recording session! ^^Tim, what instrument do you play?
Viaene Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 That should definitely get you somewhere (with a drummer etc )
c_s_1987 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 That was a home recording? Holy crap, that's brilliant! I can hardly imagine how great it would sound as a studio record. I'll have to nominate that in our Top Tens sometime soon.
scott Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Posted July 21, 2008 Yeah totally DIY and all we had for the instruments and vocals was one mic, a kind of general condenser guy- and if you guys know anything about recording, you know the studios use like 500 different kinds of microphones and we had a generic low end drum mic kit, and that worked prety well. yeah, we are pretty happy with how the recording is going.
Otokichi Posted July 28, 2008 Report Posted July 28, 2008 Other sites you might consider: http://www.last.fm (A London-based site with fans of every kind of music you've ever heard of from around the world.) http://mog.com (A site associated with Rhapsody.com, but a place to upload an MP3 and write about music.)
scott Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Posted July 28, 2008 We're actually planning on a last.fm dealy-o the day we stared recording they announced they were gonna pay unsigned acts royalties .05 cents yes!!!!! but we're using myspace as a launch point, cuz it's real trendy and easy to use it to prostitute yourself out. I've never heard of mog, I'll have to check it out.
