Distant Earth Group: Members Posts: 28 Joined: June 2011 Posted: July 17 2011, 18:39 I've just uploaded my new track to Soundcloud. The name is a reference to a track on Distant Earth (Crystal Clear) which is a big favourite of mine. It's only short so please take the time to listen and any feedback is welcome. Thanks Chris Melting Back to top

Milamber Group: Musicians Posts: 2275 Joined: Feb. 2010 Posted: July 17 2011, 18:55 Beautiful Track Chris. Would be nice if we could Download a copy. Pity it was so short ,I could easily see a longer version with chior and a soaring lead guitar over what you have already got there. Would take it from fantastic to epic imo. Well Done     Back to top

Distant Earth Group: Members Posts: 28 Joined: June 2011 Posted: July 17 2011, 19:03 I agree with the length, it is a bit too short. I actually had a "work in progress" with the start of what I was planning as a soaring guitar solo... I didn't feel I could do the music in my head justice though. Maybe I'll make another version and work on the soaring! Thanks for listening Back to top

Distant Earth Group: Members Posts: 28 Joined: June 2011 Posted: July 17 2011, 19:05 Oh and I've made it downloadable. Thanks again. Chris Back to top

Milamber Group: Musicians Posts: 2275 Joined: Feb. 2010 Posted: July 17 2011, 19:08 The pleasure was all mine. I wasn't trying to nit pick it's just what came to mind on the first listen. I'm a Typical Oldfield fan, always in search of that soaring lead   Back to top

Distant Earth Group: Members Posts: 28 Joined: June 2011 Posted: July 17 2011, 19:14 Have a listen to the WIP version and see if you think I was heading in the right direction. Maybe I was listening to it now... hmmm, flash up the studio again! Back to top

Milamber Group: Musicians Posts: 2275 Joined: Feb. 2010 Posted: July 17 2011, 19:32 WIP Version..Yeah that's the stuff I was looking for. Very smooth, I also love the three fast hits on the Bass drum ,gives it a great feel and propels the beat above the norm. There are many great Muso's on this site from Ginger Daddy, Smillsoid to Quietman and lets not forget the very humble but brilliant Tubular Tos. Your a very welcome addition to our fine group here . There are a few here who take a little bit more time and care on the rhythm parts of their tracks than others..(Even Mike was guilty of this on a few tracks on Light and Shade). Glad to see your one of the ones who does. Back to top

Distant Earth Group: Members Posts: 28 Joined: June 2011 Posted: July 17 2011, 19:45 Thanks, feeling very welcome. I've been following Quietman, Smillsoid, Purple Rhapsody (Ginger Daddy I think), Tubular Tos and Bob the Screamer on Soundcloud. Love their stuff, I'm not at their standard yet but I can hope and practice. Back to top

Milamber Group: Musicians Posts: 2275 Joined: Feb. 2010 Posted: July 17 2011, 19:55 Oh yeah I forgot Bob.. He's Meatloaf Oldfield...musically speaking of course..great stuff. Back to top

Distant Earth Group: Members Posts: 28 Joined: June 2011 Posted: July 17 2011, 19:58 Oh yeah, as far as soaring guitar goes, my other tracks "Tears in Rain" and "Childhood" both feature something along the lines of soaring... I hope. Back to top

hairy old hippy Group: Members Posts: 304 Joined: July 2005 Posted: July 18 2011, 07:19 Yeah, I like this. It genuinely is really chilld out. It's atmosphere is created by the melody probably more than the production which I think is important with so called "chill-out music". Most importantly though, as a listener I can tell that you, as a musician, are enjoying what you are doing. -------------- Listen to Mohribold; an epic musical tapestry that weaves between a multitude of genres. Andrew Taylor's Mohribold album has proved very popular with fans of symphonic-rock, prog-rock, psych-folk and indeed Oldfield's classic albums! www.andrewtaylor.bandcamp.com Back to top

Distant Earth Group: Members Posts: 28 Joined: June 2011 Posted: July 23 2011, 13:40 I've extended Melting, it's now "hypnotically extended". I took on board what people had been suggesting and I hope the final version lives up to it. Thanks Chris Melting (hypnotically extended) Back to top
