I wasn't sure that I had a good mix, but I worked on it for long enough and had to let it go. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PavlovsCat Posted July 17, 2024 Share Posted July 17, 2024 Nice job and very creative. The vocal harmonies remind me of a mix of Utopia and They Might Be Giants. Definitely cool and off the beaten path. Kudos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornpdx Posted July 17, 2024 Share Posted July 17, 2024 Who would have thought someone would write a song about a telecommunications satellite? Oh wait, there was a song in the 60s called Telstar (and there's a nod to that song here - pretty sure I had that 45 way back then.) You come up with some interesting subjects Steve. I thoroughly enjoyed this one. -Bjorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noynekker Posted July 17, 2024 Share Posted July 17, 2024 Steve . . . brilliant and upbeat ! Yes, it was a colourful time with a lot of things changing, despite the black & white. You've painted a very positive vibe of how technology unites the world. Musically, your guitars are excellent, mix is very balanced . . . just a great production, and FUN to watch and listen to ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thoroughly enjoyed this one. -Bjorn Hi Bjorn - yes! The first thing that was done in this song was the synth that sounds like that old Tornadoes song Telstar (Z3TA plugin with Cream Poly setting) - it reminded me of the tone they got - and things developed from there. I read up on that old song, and it was written by a guy named Joe Meek. Evidently, he went a bit crazy. His landlady used to bang on his ceiling when the music got too loud, and one day she came down to complain about it - he shot her and then he shot himself. Thanks for listening and leaving a comment! Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Lynn - I look back fondly on the 60s (and 70s) - While there were problems, they seem minor now compared to all the positive stuff that happened to advance us.
