"Awesome Intro"
date: June 22, 2008
Absolutely spot on intro. It is awesome. The drone-y tremolo tone in the beginning is awesome. How exactly did you obtain that sound? Lots of a reverb and maybe a delay? Whether or not, its great. Lately I've been experimenting with shoegaze type guitar tone (Ex: lots of reverb, delay, fuzz distortion, reverse reverb)
When the strum chords come in, I swear it sounded just like Godspeed You! Black Emperor. The drums start off okay, but the song just trails into nothingness. Considering it is a work in progress, that is going to be fixed.
I have not heard anything from you in quite awhile and it it sounding great. Finish this up and I'll take a listen and tell you what I think.

hey matey, thanks for the review. You're spot on with regards to guitar, flamenco on the string with two seperate deals and a massive reverb. 'Shoegazing' is definately one of my more promient effects of playing, delays and reversed verbs, it's finding the balance so it doesnt totally fill the audio spectrum. Glad you like the chord progression, it started out as a riff which as its self sounds awesome but chords work stronger me thinks. Yea it does peter out into nothingness, this is more the first section of the song, it'll trail off into more lead and a key change. Vocals will come in on the first guitar chord. Drums are just a guide atm, ezdrummer is fucking cubase up for me conflicting for some reason so just using fl for the meanwhile while i suss it out. Keep your ears peeled in the next couple of weeks as i will keep posting updates until the track is complete.
