Title: Part 2 then Part 1 (Epic Al)
Post by: StephenM on November 23, 2020, 06:35:02 PM
Hey 3 piece band, got room for a fourth?  Cause I have lightning that wants to come forth.  Electrical Damage to be done by the charge of electrons from the sun, my fingertips shall display as I play these strings.

Token Lovers on pillows of death, The cats meow, tractors plow.  Russian blue, purring for you.  Tearing up the couch, remedy of slouch.  Disaster strikes, Lightning bites.  Barroom brawlers, heavy toy haulers.  Basketballers, full scale slaughter.  In the kitchen, there's something missing.
 Colonel Sanders finger licking.  Backing vocals, drive the locals, off the cliff.  Where I'm going, there's no knowing, when the mind is a work of art...work of art....
I don't think I would be writing or recording anywhere near as much as I am if I hadn't found Songcrafters.  Truly I have been inspired by so many on here... and I have tried things that I never would have otherwise.  Years ago I played in a cover band and really had fun but it was always my desire to write and record...to try my hand at engineering and production.  It is challenging and fun.  Also I was smart enough to know I was never going to make a living at this so at this point of my life it is just about pleasing myself.  It is rewarding to have some of you listen because it validates me as a musician and songwriter. 
This is very progressive rock I would say, which is my absolute first love of music.  But I haven't really played much of it because I couldn't.  So I have been really working hard at my abilities to play guitar, drums, bass.... and for me this is one of my favorites. 
Harley Benton PRS copy using some of the whammy bar..... (4 tracks, 2 rhy, 2 lead).... 1 track epiphone bass... Alesis Nitro drum kit ....recorded and mixed on Zoom R24 and mastered by Landr...  boss ME-25 guitar wah and effects...for bass and guitar.
I have a little squeak that appeared in the track... sorry... I think it's from the track being too big and it was compressed/// I will try a different compress

Wow, heavvvvvvyyyy! Love the powerful guitar sounds and growly bass, just loving the part where it drops right down to bass and drums. It's complex and the lyrics have some amazing imagery in them. This is a kind of heavy/psychedelic/prog extravaganza and I really enjoyed it. Lots of twists and turns and as Tim said, it's a wall of sound that really hits you from the off.

Very imaginative Steve, and an absolutely epic track. You might want to try some of Phantasm 777's work on here, it's in a similar (but different) vein.
