I like this but felt you needed a few added sounds to break up some of the phrases.

You maybe were looking for that repetative chant feeling but I just think a little “teaser” sound here and there would have emphasised everything a bit more.

The ambience created by the guitar alone is effective. Agree with RT’s comments to break up the phrasing, but also think (as he points out) that minimal additions are in order as the guitar does fill a lot of the ear space. Another great ambient mix Sub… Looking forward to hearing more

I too felt this. I think you did the right thing by uploading rather than trying to forcefit something else into it.

I don’t love the noise build-up at the end but I get it.

I think. :)

for me, minmalism can be effective & listenable. each of these samples held my attention when played individually & their coming together is even more listenable. i likes it!

This sounds like a band all poised to blow the Byrds off the stage. It’s festival-ready, Whippin’ Post ready, and that lead vocalist just chased Grace Slick to Santa Cruz.

The drummer’s a little irritated, because she usually gets to pound on things a lot earlier in the song, and it’s not nearly as much fun to run the mixing board.

Those little voices in the background make the audience wonder if there’s a separate stage with horror movies playing, which makes one young woman happy, as she’s always wanted to watch Carrie while heavy rock was playing.

Things sure got dark quick. Solstice-dark. Light a candle dark. Scary dark. People are chanting things. People are going “ooh” and threatening to go “ah”.

Then there’s this incredible noise break like a whoosh and a guitar slide and the sound of someone saying “ah” really deeply.

“Wow, man, this is freakin’ me out”, says the guy with the graying hair and the paisley tie.

But then it’s over, and Sara says “let’s go get some strawberry lemonade”, and Santa Monica Pier Festival on the Beach 2009 rolls on.

The way you use this piece to complement the vocal works very well. The “heavy” feel of the guitar and the fx on the guitars work well. The way the vocal and the guitar interplay works pretty well, but the guitars can be overwhelming in the context of the voice. Still, you give your ‘pella a dynamic feel which is great. I love the little backing voices and edge-of-the-action edginess in the way you’ve melded things into the mix.

I am not always in need of beats in songs, but an anchoring burst of NIN-ish percussion might have been a cool way to add dimension to this one.

Really interesting mix.

Just lovely. I like the creepy edginess….whisper on whispers….and especially the murmured prayer towards the end. Very spiritual.

Thank you so much.

“This is really freakin’ me out, man!”
I enjoy it as it is- I envision playing this track at “just-barely-loud-enough-to-hear-it” volume over some shopping mall sound system somewhere, and watching everyone become slowly vaguely uneasy… weird scenes inside the Subliminal mine, indeed!

this is VERY interesting.

You better tell us where you’ve been, Subliminal. Because this track freakin’ rocks. I loved what you’ve done with narva9’s vocals and the use of Cherry’s chant. This is pretty damn freaky… reminds me of Pet Sounds.

This could be a good final track of a movie, a CD or anything else!!! Love the vox treatment! This is nice man!! Congrats

A lot of things had been said and I am not able to write a review like Gudonark. But let me second some things for the constant guitar loop. It works for me, even if it needs all attention and concentration.
The choice of stems is again a winner though. sort of psychedelic stuff. I am already tired but not able to go to bed. This turns me into sort of dream….if the noise at the end wouldn_t have appeared….;-)
