So Good

[Kevin Walsh]

I've listened to many wonderful synth-based songs, everything from ambience to trance to dance and I've always wanted to try my hand at it.  So I started this song.

It ended up as, well, something else, I'm not sure what. Whatever it is, I'd love to hear your critiques on the song in all it's aspects. Thank you in advance!

really like the drums, and the bass at the beginning

to me, this really kicks *****.

Extremely good job on the vocals and main break. I think one thing it ended up as is being somewhat "punk" even with the synth.  I'd like to hear it with horns ..   I'm not sure the short lead section at 2:36 was inline with the feel of the rest of the song up to that point. ??      Fantastic job exploring ..   mark

Hi Kevin - i really like this, a lot in fact

You've got a great track going here - as Jesse said drums and Bass sound spot on

Guitar solo 1.42 fabulous

This is just a great track

Love it

I like it, like a darker Beach Boys? You could hang a lot on this but as is it has a driving psychedelic vibe that you can't tell if it's angsty or not. Pretty special territory. Kudos on the vocals and bgv's, nailed it. nice vocal delays . . .

great mix as well!

 

cheers,

Whatever you intended you ended with something quite acceptable Kevin, the whole piece worked for me and the mix worked well here on my Events.

So many genres at once in here - great production - really well done.

Thank you Wookie, your work was a major motivation for trying this, so your approval is a big deal for me.

Very cool man. It's very different sounding from you usual stuff, in a good way. Really creative.

[DeeringAmps]

I'm not good with "genres" so I'll not try to put a finger on it.
