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

Wow, Nigel, thanks for taking the time to listen and post such an in-depth review!  I am humbled!   I certainly do NOT mind someone telling me such wonderful things.  It sounds like you have really listened to this a lot and de-constructed everything quite perfectly.  You're right about how I try to use bass, especially in this song.  Yes, my lead riffs are meticulously constructed, and I mean that not to come off as arrogant, but more because I am pointing out that I have almost zero improvisational skills.  So everything HAS to be planned out.  And since I am planning it out, I figure I might as well make it a melodic line rather than a "scorching" solo.  Plus, those types of solos don't fit with the music, even if I could play them, which I can't.   So it seems to work out.  Thanks again for the very kind words!

Very cool indeed Bosko!!  Luv the multiple changes in this tune - makes for a very enjoyable and interesting listen!!

Thanks a lot, Satchwood!

Well Bosko. Sorry it's taken me so long time to respond to this one. Summer vacation with not much online time is to blame. But I've listened to this one A LOT, together with the rest of my Bosko-collection on both my piePod and phone!!!

This is yet another great SL-track!!! From the yes-like guitar in the intro to the genesisy keys and maccalodic bass and your instantly recognizable vox and drums. And the Beatles-influence shows in the melody in a good original way.

I feel my English comes short when trying to describe your music!

A great addition to my Bosko-folder.

Wow, Geir!

You totally just made my entire week!  Yes is such a huge influence on me, yet this is the first time anyone has ever pin-pointed any specific comparison.  Part of me knows the reason is because my musicianship is 1/100th of that of any of the members of the group, but still, I can't thank you enough for that compliment!

And I think you have coined an awesome new word: Maccalodic!!!  You really need to put that one in the BR.net Glossary!  And that is another incredible compliment, in my book!

Thank you again so much for your extremely generous words!

Lovin' it!

This is not the best constructed, most beautiful, interesting, and fabulous music I've heard at Boss BR Net.

Its all that for music I've heard anywhere for a very long time.

Lovin' it.

Maccalodic is now in the  BR.net Glossary
