    Yeah I like the vibe and style of this track, Kevin.  Really nice work. Pulled me in immediately and wouldn't let go.  Very cool effects and chord progressions. More of this!

    Thanks! I'll sure try, but don't wait up. My signal to crap ratio is pretty stable. :)

    What a great sounding piece, lots of evolution to keep the interest . . . the vocal in this one reminiscent of a Peter Gabriel sound to my ear, just great stuff, and thoroughly enjoyed beginning to end !

    Thanks for taking a listen. I appreciate it!

    Firstly IMO it's a really great song .. I think I could listen to your work all day long and still not have enough, you have a unique talent and although this is not your usual  vibe , I think you nailed it .. it's got a bit of Peter Gabriel in there and so to take that as a crit I feel the vocal should be a lot more prominent ... great stuff mate

    Thank you, Steve, I am utterly humbled and grateful for your kind works. I pushed the vocals up a bit and replaced the link with a soundcloud link, seems like the mp3 is pretty muddy to my ear, gotta fix that.

    I decided to write a reggae song and failed miserably, but I think it works anyway. Despite the fact that the melody is kind of high for my voice, it's in the key of Bm, certainly the most interesting of all keys. :)

    Please let me know if you hear any problems, mix, instruments, musical choices, whatever you like.

    By the way, I'm now officially a fan of Wave's Abbey Road plugs. 

    Update: I've made some suggested mods to vocal levels, and also linked to the soundcloud version which is the full wav file.

     

     

    Lyrics for those of a lyrical mind:

     

    system to system

    verse 1

    no it's not like a thing
    that was broken but
    is fixed now

    nor is it hard like a
    rock or cement in 
    the black ground

    nor some tool you can 
    hold to fix all 
    the pain now

    more a thickness of throat
    that drives us to burn everything
    down

    but as you contemplate
    what might become of all of us

    and consider the consequences
    impending  for all

    you might come to vanquish 
    that which infects your mind 

    and all this time
    will not have been for naught


    verse 2

    no its not all the things that are 
    sought that will soothe them

    its' the hole in the heart
    that will forever consume them

    and the choices they make
    that will always blind them

    and the systems they make
    that they use to excuse them

    but as we contemplate
    the things we do to all of us

    and ignore all the outcomes we see
    that naturally fall

    we might never vanquish
    that which infects our minds

    and all of this time
    will have been for naught

    Finale

    system to system
    time after time
    circles in cirlces
    take what you like

    motion for motion
    and eye for an eye
    system to system
    system to system

    Hi Kevin,
    I don't believe I've ever seen that effect in a video before. Kind of mesmerizing. The soundtrack meshes really well with the story and I like the lyrics text popping up the way you did it. Great job!

    Thanks for checking it out. bjorn. It was pretty hypnotizing doing it too,  heh, it's all part of my evil plan :)

    Wow. This is really cool Kevin. Loving the video and it goes very well with the song.  Three thumbs up ('that's not your thumb' @Bapu)

    Thank you, bapu!

  8. Groovy man! I'm not a synth guy and I have no idea how you get all those sounds out of those boxes, it's all magic to me, but I like it. The quality of the sound is first rate. I do like the vocal break quite a lot.

  9. Man this thing grooves. Love the drum sounds and a big me too for the sax. This is a killer song.  (Rattlesnake kicks ***** too, btw.) I miss the days when music like this had regular spins on the radio.
