"Making Up my Mind"

hey another new track for all of you to hear.

Chorus:
"Making up my mind, that maybe sometime, thinking of you, will never cross my mind.
Making up my mind, that maybe sometime, hear from you, is made up in my mind sometime."

WOOOOO i really like this one
I love the blend of scratches though you overdue it at the later
needs some polishing but i really dig this one
my only real problem with it is that the voice sounds a tad bit empty
perhaps doubling up the vocals would do it

other than that that was great!

thanks, ya i may have a version soon with some more head voice, especially for the chorus, maybe some good harmonies, but i do like the simplicity of the vocals. I wanted to try this without screaming, cause i usually get compared to Chester Bennington when I scream lyrics, but i may need to.

I really wanted to see what yalll think of it so far.

listen close, u can hear the snare pretty good. oh listen to it before the scratching part when its soft.

other than that, i'm not sure what u might mean by drum line.

haha, ah yes. "Guitarotechnics" is a word I use to describe the guitar style I play. Its like the practice of technical influence of guitar playing.

But also, I was working on a album project of guitar instrumentals called "Guitarotechnics"

I just took it from things like "Pyrotechnics"

Saw her playing with Jeff Beck's band on Letterman. Ouch! she's HOT.
"Guitarotechnics".. Brought to mind guitarist Robert Fripp . "Frippertronics", an actual electronic sound generator system , built by the Man, into his guitar.
If you get a chance have a listen to; Robert Fripp / King Crimson.
Fripp & Eno. And sundry artists,( Bowie, David Sylvian, ) with Fripp's distinctive ETHEREAL tone.

yes
cool Got distracted... Yep, sorry i'll listen to your track and get back wink lol
~PClinuxOS~ yes I've been here longer than I care to remember, ... I drop in from time to time, ... thumbs up!

"On Saturday" has some beautiful guitar parts to it ! Would have downloaded if it was available. The start, first minute or so is awesome. Yoh !

Im lovin the muzik!!! Psychadelic Industrial. Interesting concept. The production is fab man. The music really match the lyrics and the vocal arrangement. It sounds like a trip, and U even threw in some Record Scratching. I am hearing some wonderful tracks from prince.org lately. Everyone is being so creative and fresh. This sounds very fresh and raw.

only thing I would or could say is that you have a light voice, it sounds like it would've fit a darker dominating perspective of sound. It doesnt matter though because it is still a wonderful song, i wish I made that man.
