Drift Away |
This started out as a reggae tune, or more of a reggae idea, but then, sort of, turned into something... completely... not reggae...
Guess I'll save that for another day.

Great song...I do agree with Rych about the movement...it could have progressed a little more quickly through its segments.
I think I would've liked to hear the vox higher in the mix, and maybe use the vocal effects a bit more sparingly. Your voice is good - so lets hear it more
I really liked the change up at 5:29. I definately can see how this started out as a reggae song. Cheers!

I like this. The only thing I can say is back off the bass a bit. It is clipping slightly and drowning out the acoustic.
Another possible suggestion would be to use a high-strung guitar in the mix to cut through the bottom end.

yeah man cool track... hearing the reggae influence in there too...
tons of talent.. you're gonna kick it far... but you should turn up the organ more... take it out of the background... make it a flashhy solo.... it would kick bigger ass...
great vocal ambience everytime...
good clean lounging spirit... I'm gonna... fetch me a drinkie... I needs one...
cheers

haha love the "Boney M" (70's disco) drum sample.... made me laugh when it just popped out of nowhere. Yes something different from reggae indeed, i really liked the part at about 1:48min, would have liked to see the organ part go REALLY sick as the organ does almost everytime it's given its own "part".... and when i say the organ i dont physically mean the actual organ going sick and breaking it down.... but the person playing it...
Oh man... dammit... im not happy i have to say that the bad part about this song is the boney m drum sample... after i liked it so much at the beginning.... But really it has no place in this song, it's actually a really good song as it went on it got better and better and thats really good. Good volumes on the guitars at the end, spaced them out nicely and they sound beautiful.
Good job, i can tell this would have taken some time and ill tell ya time well spent.
Oh and at the end when you really lifted it with the strings, id advice to raise the volume of the vocals, you can hear it, but not that good and plus its a climaxing end, so it would be cool.

good good
this is exactly what I was expecting to get back from this one
it's another one of my older pieces, tracks remixed... so there are plenty of flaws
Rych - yes... it does drag on quite a bit... but, I just couldn't choose which part to cut... sorry
Spoon - working on the vox...
MontanaDawg - really? clipping? there's some distortion on the bass, that I don't usually do, but it was intentional...
Chill - heh... not likin the drums eh... I'll have to do some research on "Boney M"... but until then, I guess I'll have to do something about that organ thing... the reason why it's so quiet is because there are a few wrong/missing notes here and there... I don't exactly pride myself on my organ playing... what? practice? naaa...
Thanks!

This really stood to me.
I liked all of your songs, well maybe not all, I only sampled five or six, but I find it hard to comment on them.
But this stood up an kicked me in the face. It was like listen to me. I am digging the bass. Something I noticed though, most of these just blend. Very little stuff stands out, then again, there was ~2:40 in this song and instrument stood out. But seriously, even the vocals seem to wash away into the melody you've created.
"Don't let it drift away" is indeed in accurate little lyric which describs the song. Also, the little occasional clicks remind me more of the egals than anythign else.
Guitar Poking its head out ~4:20.
All around, everyhing blends well. It was all fine and good, I mean, you corrected me as I typed this. So, I feel appalled to even post. You (and your group?) as quite a bit of skill. Now I must quit before I reach 1000 words. For that would be too many for me.

phenomenal mix you got here, I love this song.
Honestly, other than the vocal issues already pointed out (higher volume) I wouldn't change a single thing. At first when I started listening, and saw spoons comment about 5:29 I was thinkin man, this song is over 5 minutes long?? (hey I love the killers new cd, wanted to get back to it!!) But I'm glad I listened to the whole thing.
Great job ^_^
Oh, and for what it's worth, I thought the drums were awesome, I like the synth-esque drum patterns.
