Title: Black Still Water - Jemima's Kite
Post by: Flash Harry on March 30, 2009, 08:56:59 AM
Here is the latest Jemima's Kite track.
This was put together in a really unusual way (for us)

ORH sent me a vocal that he sang over a drum track, I put a bass track to it and sent it back. ORH in the meantime had re-done it in the Jesus and Mary Chain stylee and I did a bit of bass over that, then I added guitars to the first and - well it became an epic.



Here it is finished, maybe, Greeny has added some ghostly slide, backing vox and the soundFX you may have heard on here earlier that he posted.

Nice production and a very cool groove. Is this the first song for album #2?

Kind of, lol

There was one before this that we're not quite sure about. It might get there with some tweaking though.

There's a another new one coming soon - and having just heard an early mix of it, I really like how it's going. Bit more of a 60's-psych feel on that one  :)

Hey great track love the groove and the feel. The FX on the end is that the old government imformation film about Charlie not talking to strangers?

everyone seems to be commenting on the production of the "sound" of this.ignore the drums. just listen to the "human" music.
its captivating.the human input is spot on !

Yes, different from your usual style.  But kind of eerie.  I liked it a lot. Great job as always.

Love it! A bit different and a real grower - I've played it a few times and really got into it. Very cleverly done - as Tony said, this is a lot about the vocals, great job ORH. But the groove is great, Flash you did a very nice Jah Wobble on the bass and it creates an almost dub feel to it. Could we hear a full dub remix? The guitar is clever as well - Greeny, this was most unexpected. You did a great job in keeping it subtle and laid back. I wasn't expecting slide after I heard the bass and drums.

A definite  8) 8) 8) from me! Interested to hear the JAMC version.....

Cheers,

Nigel
