craigb 2,875 Posted October 28, 2020 Good to see a couple of those names in there! The only thing missing is one of those trippy videos by James. 😉 I consider this a song of hope for the future as I sit, stuck in my cave... 😶 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bjornpdx 588 Posted October 28, 2020 Took me a minute to get over my claustrophobia attack seeing that picture. Wow you guys know how to make a song sound Epic. Love the vocal delay and the guitar accomp and solo. Excellent drums. Very catchy chorus. Nicely done! 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wookiee 872 Posted October 28, 2020 Nice to see/hear Bitflipper on a track. I like the delay on the vocal what did you use? Production as ever is good, nice mix with space for all, perhaps a little more presence on your Bass would be cool Ed, I like to hear all the bass. Nice job chaps very prog. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zargg 153 Posted October 28, 2020 Thanks for the positive responses, folks. The delay used is Soundtoys Echoboy with a 1/2 note ping pong delay. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bitflipper 884 Posted October 28, 2020 I think you should consider an alternate version with Zargg's vocal sung in German. Duct tape some fireworks to his boots and then make that video. 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Douglas Kirby 506 Posted October 28, 2020 This is a cool hard rocker - I enjoyed the listen. I thought the lyrics were quite impressive, and the arrangement of the song works very well. The lead guitar and synthesizer sections were nicely done. It's a fine mix to my ears - the separation and depth are there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mark skinner 262 Posted October 28, 2020 A+ everywhere. I loved the Power in the choruses and especially the guitar break leading into the synth. Great job Great mix. mark 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken mixed his vocals, against a mix of the song, the way he wanted them and sent me his project and I imported it exactly as it was into my final mix project. I only had to set the level to sit in the pocket. Thanks for the listen and we're glad you liked it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bajan Blue 396 Posted October 31, 2020 Great Job everyone - as Wookie says, very prog!! Some real nice playing all round - love the guitar parts from James and Dave's keyboard parts fit just right. Nigel 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
