"Linear Lifestyle" - original by FuzzFace with cuthbert

[dasilvasings]

Really cool song, lyrics, overall sound, attitude (great ending!!!), well, everything.

Cuthbert, like the saw in the last verses :-)

[FuzzFace]

The lyrics remind me of Roger Waters at his best.  

Wow, what a compliment!  Thanks!

My only wish is that it was longer!

I am making a whole album of this... so hopefully one song will seamlessly lead right into the next.

I have posted a few others using the same format, of just bass/drums with piano and a touch of light synth.  (I am intentionally making an anti-guitar album as an exercise to push myself musically).

I am also open to suggestions as this project is a work in progress!

Thanks everyone!

caused me to drag the Micromoog out of storage

You had a micromoog in storage???

Great existentialist lyrics here, and great feel to the song.  I think the prominent bass gives it the Joy Division (Peter Hook) vibe. 

I think it's great.  Can't wait for the rest of the album

Yes, true story: I got it around 2000, used it on a few recordings but never got to explore it in very much depth, and then shortly after that I stepped away from music for several years and it sat in a closet until last December when I retrieved it and started using it again.

Been spending more time with it since 'Linear Lifestyle', and I really love it - it's a finicky piece of gear, but it sounds like nothing else I have - the filter self-oscillates if you turn up the emphasis high enough! I have another work in progress for emuFest that I may use it on, if I can ever finish it.

Cool lyrics, love the stripped down feel of this. I get a Devo-like thing going on in this song.  Good one.

Cheers

Sorry i missed this guys!! Trev, this is really really good man!! I like that rhythm big time and your voice is good. Your starting to come into your own.

Cuth, your piano work here is great.. I love that mini moog. Good thing you dragged it out.

Top notch Collab!!

[FuzzFace]

Hey cuthbert... just gave this another listen... great job on the piano and micromoog!

Magic was in the air when we made this!
