Quote from: Nelson on March 02, 2021, 05:12:05 PMI like the wild mix of the vocals and the driving drum and Bass tracks.
The perfect collaboration

"Tin Ruff... rusted"

I wanted to say a bit more about Hilary's vocals....  I really love what she did here... it's brilliant to me.... I love the crazy talking down in the right speaker....at times it sounds like something from another planet, like one of those club scenes in Star Wars where all the characters look way different than us and they have some cool music going down but very different....
I also love the main lyrical theme... it's a really big idea to me.... kind of deep really.... It's probably not cool to love your own music, or in this case collaboration.... just like you are not supposed to laugh at your own jokes...but really if I don't think they're funny why telll them.... and if I don't love my music why post it? 

there is a lot of great music on SC and I am so very glad to be a part of it!  bwaaaaaaaa!

I don't care I love it too - I did the alternative track in one single take - I muted the other vocals and just messed about - it was a lucky mishap that it fitted. It was also crazy that I did the wailing bit at exactly the same time as you did the lead bit and we both had no idea what the other was doing but both did it at the same time anyway.

It turned out alright didn't it!

Grins and smiles and giggles and laughs....(that was a special cereal when I was a kid)... this song is like that only better...

Wow, a psychedelic rock out from Steve and Hilary! Definitely some B52s meets Jefferson Airplane meets Steve and Hilary there! I love the choppy rhythm guitar and chord sequence, that sounds great, and really works with the guitar wigout opposing it. It's really punchy and the drums and bass are great as well, I really like how the bass follows some of the drum breaks, very nice work there.

And the vocals? Well, another stunner from Hilary. Superb performance and great lyrics,  they really work with the music. And the weird vocal track and coyote howls are a brilliant touch (great serendipity). Hilary could read her shopping list and make it sound fantastic....

Loved this, a great collab, a bit off the wall in a totally wonderful and freaky way. Well done you two, it's superb.

Jeez, this is spectacular guys. There is tons of creativity and zero fear gone into the making of this. So much going on, but it all works very well indeed. Have to say I really like those lyrics. You both really rocked out on this and yes I love the wild lead playing. Don't know enough of the B52s to appreciate the comparison, but I was thinking of a mash up of sounds by early Heart and Led Zeppelin on acid! Brilliant job guys.
