The most challenging track to record during the RPM Challenge this year. I like how a lot of it turned out, but there were so many clashing pieces, that I was pulling my hair out trying to assemble it.
this sounds like a circus and all the clowns are sober and the kids and parents watching the show have had a double dose of Mescaline. Your hard work payed off. This is FNG!!! (FNGreat!)

This is one of the tracks that ties into the theme from my RPM 2009 album [Like A Dark Mirror Keeping Its Secrets].
A fall from grace. Every up has its down. Every down has its up. There's definitely a "ying and yang" thing at work here.

This was one of the unnamed tracks that I recorded, forgot about, and rediscovered later in the month.

You get good separation on the drums here, frequency-wise. Everything stands out individually, and I find with this sort of music, it's very easy for it all to blend together into a big mess.
Who is that singing at the very end? It was kind of a surprise - I wasn't expecting it.
The year was 1989 and my high school rock band, Tempest Fero, was feelin' proggie! I can't remember who wrote what for this one. I do know we were quite stoked to have the little 4/4 to 3/4 to 6/8 thing at the end of the quiet parts. I also…
Cry (if you want to) – Steve Harris 990211
Run into these open arms my love, sad you’re breaking
But on the outside you’re so tough
You’re not fooling me, enough’s enough
Cry if you want to, cry…..
I’ll be here till someone comes…
I like the unstructured nature of this -- while it doesn't really have any rhythm or beat to it, the drone would be nice for drifting off to sleep. (You might have peculiar dreams, though.)
RPM 2013
I'm not who I was
don't judge me
on memories and dust
they're nothing
but footprints in my past
forgotten
never coming back
I've lost them
but I'm searching pretty hard
for new life
step out from the dark
into light…
A song about a tough day at the office.
This one turned into more of a project that it deserved. My first take on the vocals seemed okay at the time but was really unacceptable. I went back and fixed the problems and ended up clipping the…
From a mastering perspective, this is great - you can hear all the different instruments clearly.
I'm impressed you were able to master it so well in a four week period.
Stoner rock with a hint of Grunge. Inspired by Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss, Monster Magnet, Masters of Reality, Karma to Burn, Joy Division, Fu Manchu, Nirvana, Clutch. Desert Rock. Space rock. Garage rock.

Spun around like a seer's needle
A philosopher so lost in his riddle
Tries to speak but no longer able
Drifting in the deepest dream

This one took me a while [years!] to complete - how did it come out?

Comments on AMUC's stuff
rock on!
nice sound!
Yes, a brilliant album close - also a brilliant opener? Or just maybe brilliant.
Yeah!

Superb!
Underground new wave folk! Incredibly original. And great vox.
This track is haunted, and I thought that before the chiller vocal began. Very atmospheric and clever!
:)

I like this one - it's catchy. Just pure lyrics being driven along by an acoustic accompaniment.
Creepy barotone. I like how it interacts with the stereo soundscape in the background.

I'm really digging these tracks -- it's great background music when you're lounging around on the couch and trying to relax.
I'm digging the twists and turns this song is taking. The mix sounds really good.
Beautiful. This is the sort of thing I could fall asleep to. (It's a great soundtrack to dreams.)
I like the sudden tempo change between the verses and the chorus. It caught me off guard.
This is really nice - it's probably the most cohesive (non-improvised) item from this particular playlist.
Nice! Is this entirely electronic, or are you mixing in electronic elements with real instruments? (The guitars sound real to me.)
Nice -- this sounds fantastic through headphones. I like how the bass is clearly separated out from the higher instruments.
I'm really digging this -- the vocals play nicely with the subdued instrumentation. (Cool concept too.)
I am so jealous of the production. It's absolutely flawless. Good work. The vocals remind me a lot of Neil Morse formerly of Spock's Beard.

This album is very nice -- I'm not sure I'd call it sleeping music, but I found it very relaxing to listen to while working at my computer.
This kicks butt -- I like how the different vocal layers interact with the stringed instrument (cello?) and the drum track.

Very strong vocals and a solid mix. I'm impressed.
I like this. It has a really creepy vibe to it.
I like this - it's a nice clean synthesizer sound and an elaborate melody. It definitely moves the neurons around in my head.
I re-recorded Proteus [I] to try and get the levels better. How does it sound now? Any feedback would be appreciated.
