I think I heard the recipe for making armadillo soup in there somewhere. Am I right?

No?....

Bosko, I can only imagine the effort you put into this song (actualy all the songs I have heard from you) - man!!!  Love all the changes, and the use of the bass was excellent.  As a matter of fact I am working on my bass skills to add to my own cd I'm working on - but, going from so many ideas after so many years, and now finaly have a recording unit, well it takes a different approach to doing music one layer @ a time - when before getting my br unit was just hitting one instrument, the guitar - and it is not easy (for me) to take the ideas and jump in and add them --- I know it will take me some time to learn this new skill, but I have musicians like you posting such excellent music in this forum that well, it truly helps me a lot to accomplish my own musical goals................

[Bosko Schwartz]

Thanks again, T!

Mark, you were close -- it's actually a recipe for platypus pie.

Diego!  Glad you commented on this one, as I was wondering if you'd like it.  Thanks so much for the kind words!  Yes, it's definitely a different approach to doing music one layer at a time, and takes a lot of planning and patience.  But it's quite rewarding.  Would love to hear some of your stuff with bass!

Just a quick comment, only listened to this a few times so still digesting and savouring it. I like that staccato guitar sound with the meldoic bass line all over it (great balance as well, love that bass up front). The changes are cool, there's a helluva lot in this for a five minute song. But I'm loving it so far, want to listen a few more times after reading the lyrics. I like part I a lot on early hearings, cool the way that loses the drums when it comes in.

I think I need time to do a ridiculous prog review to do this justice. But it's absolutely wonderful so far. No barada nikto for you my friend!

Cheers,

Nigel

I've been listening to this a lot, along with the other Stan Laurels tracks I have downloaded, so here's a few more thoughts, hope you don't mind. First, I'm impressed you have got so many changes of moood and tempo in a short song without it sounding fragmented. I think the thing that really appeals to me personally is that your philosophy of guitar and bass is similar to mine, you use the bass as a third guitar. It plays melodies that counterpoint what the lead (ish) guitar is doing in a lower register, and I really like that. Your guitar driven stuff doesn't have the traditional separation between lead and bass, your lead guitar lines are more like melodies than traditional lead guitar "off I go" solos, and they inetrtwine with the bass lines so well. Couple that with your vocal harmonies and this creates a very lush and multi-layered feel. Then you have the way you use keyboards to give a very different texture to the song, which changes the mood without making the song feel disjointed. Finally, your recording style always gives a unique "Bosko" signature and although the Void material may be a bit different, I can still tell that it's you. It's all great stuff and very impressive for a home recording set up.

Cheers,

Nigel
