i like where this takes me and i would love to know what you are using to generate the sound scape. i need to get some software with the kinds of controls that generate these tones

Incredible! So creative! I had no idea you existed until Patrick El Meliani sent me the link to his page "polymood," which has two of your songs on it. Wow!

love the bass... love the claps, taps...wow.. I am really impressed with this album so far. this stuff inspires! so fluid... and not the least bit banal for a 12 minute track... it's constantly moving. you guys pulled it off.. the violins at 05:30 are so awesome. I hear a bit of dissonance in there too. Shit, I might as well be reviewing your album with these lengthy comment chapters. good stuff... You guys really made something special.
I like the overall idea but I have a couple suggestions for the lyrics. First, it's a little clumsy; I've never heard "401k" sound poetic. Second, you sing about a character who's lost his future, but you don't show how this happened. Especially in light of the "401k" and "faceless concerns" lines, the picture that I'm getting is of a guy who's been trapped by his own choices, both productive (career) and consumptive -- while this absolutely can be a compelling story, it has to told, and with some introspection. Jess used to tell me, "Show it, don't say it". I think the key album to listen to for songs of this sort is Bruce Springsteen's The River, especially the title track. For all his characters that have lost there futures, there's a story.
Sorry if I'm being a lyrics snob, it's just what I am. Thanks for writing about these ideas, it needs to be done.
At the end of 2003, I was recording a bunch of covers in my basement in Portland, Oregon. This was the only original recording from that time. I was pretty bummed out at the time...
this vocal arrangement only made the cutting room floor. full instrumentalized version forthcoming. i just wanted this arrangement its own chance at life!
Hi Jeremy...got your cd today!!!!! What a kick ass rpm submission!!!! It's going in the player in the car, and won't be leaving there any time soon!!!!!!

lyrics:
i got a hot date
and you know i don't wanna be late
i need a ride
to the bowling alley
get ready cuz here i come
put my new skirt on
chewing peppermint gum
did my eyebrows fresh
white musk on my neck
part my hair to the right
cuz its…

Wow - I'm a total sucker for your vocals & arrangements... and this stands perfectly all by itself. More, please! (Here's hoping to see a whole lot more OMG tracks soon!)
First draft.
Dedicated to my mother on her birthday.
In the outro: Trombone, Horns, Clarinets, Mouthpiece buzz by Andy Hentz (arrsuarez) and organic drum related sounds by Glu.
Man - this kills. Just KILLS. And as usual, the vocals just weave so damn well... and Andy's outro made me grin big time. (Glad to FINALLY hear more SudaraTunes!)
Sister Savage has a little star in this track!
Melody based on 'ah! vous dirai-je, Maman,' by Mozart.. the original composer. I think it's the first and second variation of 12, but that was like 15 years ago that I learned the piece so I have…
the lead synth line is 1/8 beat longer than other measures. It repeats 3 times at 8/8 and then the last one 9/8, which causes the lead to sound slightly more varied throughout the track. it starts a little later each time..

Love It! How did you record the voice inside my head?

Extremely tasteful layers on top of the perfect groove. Love it!
Great song! I like everything. And I agree with glu - this is a hit!

Very poignant - a 21st century parallel to Phil Ochs.
Love the organ and the way the lullaby weaves in and out!
god i love this. EPIC!! Futures dont often arrive on time do they? Mines late now..
Eclectic, provocative, cool, new, beautiful; a wonderful list. Love the rhythms in this one.
