What a rocksong tells

[Talvin]

Hi folks!

The song I'm posting still has demo status and is a coop with a musician friend from Berlin. He wrote the lyrics and the melodies for the stanzas and the bridge. He also played the guitar and did the arrangement. I wrote the chorus, the interlude ("Beatles" part in the middle of the song) and did the vocal parts.
If you listen closely, you will notice that the instrumentation in the interlude changes. This is because I just did a little sketch for it and replaced the original playback with my idea...
Kasimiruslav will replace that part with some real instruments for the final version.
Anyway, the rest sounds quite finished. So if you please...

You get IN the song from the first seconds, tapping feets and shaking head 
Very good drums, would love to hear a tiny bit more bass.
Good bridge, realy marking without braking the song.

Hi Talvin
I enjoyed this song very much. It is really well built. A good break and all the parts are connected in the right way.
Sound quality is rather high in term of overall production and mixing. I must admit I agree with kara on the bass, because on my speaker it comes out a bit lower than other instruments, the sound seems punchy enough the issue is just with volume.
I like the drums for parts and sounds, maybe there's something in that cymbal (beetween 0.52 - 1.02 for example) which lacks punch but adds hi-freq noise aggression, it has less clarity I mean , is it intentional ? I'm not being critical, because it is not bad, just different from the others sounds... just checking out and trying to be helpful.

In the end, it sound really fine, I mean it
Well done ! 

Cheers

Thanks for your feedback. 

 Kasimiruslav finished a first "alpha" version of the song. I prefer the quieter middle part of the preview version, to be honest. Apart from that he did a great job I think.

Would like to hear your opinion on the new version...

It stays a rock solid song, but I agree with you, I allso prefer the quieter middle part.

I convince Kasim of changing the middle part. He just asked me to double the lenght of the take, so today I recorded the vocals for it again.

  I'm getting ready for a 3rd version.
The two previous mix were both good

Hi Talvin

This is very good. Great opening with some nice guitar playing. The vocals are good, especially in the quieter middle section (which I really liked.) I'll look forward to hearing the next version.

[Talvin]

Thanks. 

I guess the new version will be ready on Monday.

It rocks, Talvin! Your vocals are very good and distinctive. 

I love the intense cymbal crashing! Reminds me of LZ.

The soft middle part is nice. I'll be waiting to hear the 3rd version.
