Bits of this (starting like 1:30-ish) reminds me of some 8-bit chiptune stuff, style-wise. (Ever listened to Anamanaguchi?) Might be fun to try bitcrushing some of your parts to see if you dig that sound. But then again, I tend to favor grit over clean sounds when given the choice.
The dissonant pad near the end (4:00-ish) seems to distract me a bit, mostly since the rest of the tune wasn't really dissonant. Feels like less dissonance there would be better, or more added elsewhere in the tune. ;)
From the album of the same name, this track really was recorded on a dark and stormy night, just to see if any of the elemental turmoil going on outside would lend its ambience to the proceedings. The thunder claps came from a sound effects album…
possibly one of the most atmospheric tunes i have come across in a long while. Having said that my Carbon Lifeforms CDs are gathering dust, might take them down in a bit :L
I abuse Jeff Lynn's (ELO) wonderful song.
I sing it a minor 3rd lower then originally recorded by ELO since I wanted to use my 12-string guitar and it is a lot easier to play tuned down to reduce the tension a bit.

The chorus is adapted from "O Death Rock Me Asleep", by Anne Boleyn, while imprisoned in the Tower of London, waiting for her execution.

This one was saved from an old cassette heading towards the bin....some might say it should have carried on ..............it is an early recording of Thetworegs ad-libing unplugged from an hotel room in Germany on a wet Sunday in 1994......Elvis…
I saw discussion of Bleu tuning on the yahoo tuning groups – all of which were tempered to a pure octave. Embolden by Andrew Heathwaite’s 88 cent guitar I decided to try the tuning without tempering to make the octave pure. So I made a scala…
Hello, I thought I'd upload a track from 1993's Strange Beauty today. It was reviewed by the WMR (Weekly Module Reviews) team (in 1996 I'm guessing.) These reviews were published on "uesnet" about music posts to the same system - Usenet is an…
a song about lust...
We said the words in between lines, baby
It was in the beating of our hearts
and the sparkling in your eyes baby, baby
It was in the breath we didn’t breathe, baby
In the hunger of your sigh, stirred
Then whispered in…

Great energy! I had difficulty not bouncing around with this. :)
Wow - my cat loved this ! She's one relaxed feline now.
This track feels in place in a videogame like Quake 3 or something. I love the retro feel the song has. Great tune :)

I love your titles...I think the quality of this song has withstood the test of time. You wouldn't know that it was on cassette if you hadn't said.
Great song Cal, we need more of you on this site.
I don't fully understand the technical side but it makes for an interesting listen.

Nothing wrong with a bit of lust, nice chorus. Like it
Masterful writing and playing and I can hear the emotion.
Great fun, good harmonies
Very quiet recording which means the listener has to concentrate which is no bad thing.Nicely put together.
