Title: One fine day, I'm gonna hold you in my robot arms

I would have liked to have added a Vocoder. But sadly, I don't have one

You had me at "vocoder." It saddens me that a Songcrafters song needed vocoder, and there was not one to be had. Actually, I'm very curious about the new TC Helicon's TalkBox Synth for just such an application.


On to the tune. Really thoughtful contrast of tones. Great attention to detail (like that weird percussion dealio right before the drums hit). It's Pat Metheny meets techno meets I don't know. Super well put together.

This is music I like to drive to, kind of a guilty pleasure thing. Everything works, everything sounds great and I am immediately in the zone. Sweet tune, I like it a lot!

Superb stiff... reminds me a little of that band SKY from the late 70s. A gorgeous composition & arrangement. I love the contrast between the techno stuff and the acoustic guitar.

Cheers James. I've actually just found a vocoder on FL Studio.

We used to have a TV show called Night Flight in the states, and I recall a Sky concert being rerun on it pretty often. I always respected John Williams for going beyond the normal mores of classical guitar in that band. I seem to recall the guitarist getting in major legal trouble later in his life.

Great work... yes a little bit of robotic voice would be cool on this.
