Re: [LAU] Music made with Linux: What happened in the middle?

Hi Stuzz! I'm still listening to your album and I must say: Wow! I like the production quite a lot, same of course of the guitar playing. this is so reminiscent of a few good metal bands I know, where the sound is concerned. I must say however, that my absolute favourite is "I know how it ends". But sometimes it's difficult to decide, since you really crossed over a couple of times. :-) the obscene is very lovely too. I like the almost meditative or translike quality to it. Stepped on and scorned has a very lovely 70s feel to it. The funky influence, that I perceive in it, appeals to my clavinet-loving nature. :-) The very small electronic internezzo is fantastic, not to say hilarious. :-) If I had to point to an odd one out, I'd really say, that this would be "Let it slide". I was surprised to find something as jazzy amidst the rest. I couldn't say, finding something so light hearted surprised me, because there are a few, which strike me as light. I can see, why you would like from the flames so much. Pitty, that you couldn't growl to it a little, that would have made it even more perfect. Very good playing there. Very precise. That is something that struck me in all the pieces, you precision. It is refreshing to hear, that these things are possible outside commercial bands. Hm, perhaps they are even more common than I might think. But I didn't find a lot of small amateur production metal and even less of that came close to being good. So and now I wait to stand corrected or being stoned for my ignorance. :-) the only thing, that is a pitty about the production, is that you always moved your vocals so far into the background. Less reverb, probably highpassed and the vocals more up to the front, would have done them good. Well, it won't stop me from liking it and listening again and telling my best friend, who is the real metal-head in our relationship. :-) I'm sure he will enjoy it even more. thanks for sharing this, I hope, that we might hear a little more of that throughout the year. Would be a pitty, to wait for the next RPM. I'd be interested to hear, what you come up with, when you have more time to work on one piece. Perhaps it might get even more prog metal. Did I mention, that I love prog, not only in rock? almost head-bangingly yours Julien =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Such Is Life: Very Intensely Adorable; Free And Jubilating Amazement Revels, Dancing On - FLOWERS! ====== Find my music at ====== http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html .....................................
