Masterful mix.

Right from the title you had me intrigued…
Great original sound……
How the Hell do you make all that sound melodic
Loved every second

Excellent! I really liked the 5/4, the "subnormal" vocals, and the slide guitar in the end. Oh! And the title of course.

I'm fairly new to the forum, and I haven't got the courage to start listening to the originals. Yours is a great introduction.

I'm going to take a deep breath, and check your playlist today. If I get fired I'll let you know!

Amazing lyrics! Most folks can't even write lyrics like this in their own langauge! A totally bizarre song, but with the Geir stamp of quality all over it. Great stuff.

p.s. As well as driving a Volvo, I have a feeling that the Devil does his shopping in Ikea... lol

p.p.s. If anyone overheard you doing those strange demonic noises, they might get pretty scared. I guess that's the beauty of having a cabin to go to!

For the love of God man, where the hell did this come from.  It is so far out of my left mirror that it is huge, like the images appear larger in the left mirror or something equally psychedelic like that.  I feel all weird just listening to this one.  Brilliant is right, left mirror brilliant.

Thanx guys for the open-mindedness and generosity that you show on my weird little experiments too !!! I wish I'd had time to practice a bit before recording this, but I guess the obvious foreign accent just adds a bit to the madness of the song ;D

A very Geir-ish original, so inventive and great fun. I love all the percussion stuff and the bass sounds really nice as well. It all hangs together well and sound so cool when the slide comes in. And the subnormal vox are spot on - we should have a Geir day when everyone has to talk in that tone all day long.

Cheers,

Nigel
