You know how i luv lyric re-arrangement!!!!!! It feels awkard rating anything Minus does because I’m obviously biased, but when something is exceptional I have to put in my two cents. Damn dude, this stuff can only be described as "The carnival has left town, yet there are still some strange looking clowns hanging around the abandoned grounds" : )

this is crazy dope, but there are parts where the vocals could be editted a bit to flow more (even though they are chopped to high hell..) but the ‘unfloweth’ of the vocals is fairly rhythmic, so it works.. good job :)
why the abrubt ending? |

why the abrubt ending? Thanks for the compliments everybody… yeah, it’s choppy vocals… but I tried to make it work rhythmically and melodically. RE: Ending, I like abrupt endings. I think it works here… in my music mind’s eye, it got sucked up into nothing. Listen for the swirling FX that build up to the ending the few bars before. That swirl is what killed the song. :) |

omg, I cracked up hard with that one. yes… the track is supposed to be kinda tongue-in-cheek. "This track, it’s funny. It’s flower’s in january." |

Great idea, good quality, but where is the stucture of your work? Optimalize it!

This is solid, inventive, and winning stuff. You’ve brought a lot of imagination to the table here. The beats are solid, although sometimes they threaten to crowd out the many other great things going on. The only things missing are a calliope and a Chapman Stick—or rather, to be less obscure, this song feels fully constructed and yet quite unique and offbeat. I enjoyed this a good bit.

Thanks for the great and insightful comment/compliment gurdonark. yeah…. I often push the limits of my brain to comprehend everything going on. Sometimes I can get it to work right… sometimes. :) |

I love the vocal re-cut. The emergent melody is actually really catchy!— I’ve been humming it all week.

Thanks everybody… (lisa, I was worried you’d hate it…)

It was like trying to fit square pegs in round holes or like usings scissors to cut your fridge poetry to make it fit into words you didn’t originally have except with the added dimension of pitch and rhythm to make things difficult. |

I totally didn’t get this on the first listen. Over my head. : )
Glad I listened again. It’s insanely good. |

I think I like this one even more than your first entry. Bizarre in all the right ways! And nice production too.

beats remind me of some serious beat mashin squarepusher stuff. I know it was a contest entry but I’d like to hear it without the vocals…just to soak in those beats.

I absolutely love this song. I listen to it everyday approximately. I based some of my older stuff on the structure of this song. The drums, melody and lyrics all flow so well.
