I'm not usually into four-on-the-floor kinda EDM/dance numbers, but something about your track really appeals to me. The different textures/sounds are a welcome change from the usual stuff i, well.. tend to avoid. ;-)
Thank you for posting it, doktordoktor. I'm really enjoying it! ^_^
Inspired by a large stone I saw in the Ortspark in Munich, which somebody had carefully engraved with the name Mabel.
No loops used this time, all virtual instruments played by me. Cymbal, guitar, acoustic guitar, violin.

Rad stuff, Steve! It sounds like you're exploring new and exciting territories with your last few songs. Looking forward to hearing what comes next. :)
Cyborgs conquer the planet, crushing resistance and enslaving the human race. The cello represents the people who ignore the destruction and carry on as normal, like the orchestra playing on the deck of the Titanic as it went down.

Thanks Tom. I'm not sure if the mix of instruments worked. I was trying to contrast the power of the invasion with the futility of resistance and panic of the human survivors, but perhaps I was being a bit ambitious. It was fun though, and if you listen carefully at the beginning you will hear my dog getting in on the act. She heard me shouting and ran in barking, thinking that there was really someone (or something) here! I had to laugh!
That beer on the table yours or mine?
I only left the room for a short time.
If you've gone and switched them I'm gonna be sad,
Cos that beer was the best one that I ever had.
Don't drink my beer, you hear?
I'm counting to 4 just to make…
Thanks Tom. Boring the listeners is my greatest fear! Yes, I suggest headphones because there is a swirling stereo effect which only works properly with headphones on, as you rightly guessed. This song is about the rise of the Cyborgs, from initial communications to a robotic type march on humanity, a la Terminator style.
Thanks DJ Ursine. I can't take all of the credit for this. I use loops mostly, and the timing takes care of itself on the app I use. An ear for what will work, and some imagination helps, but I guess I'm more of a DJ than a musician.
Thanks DJ Ursine. The virtual guitar was the only freehand part of the track, and I wanted to leave it raw and unedited to create the contrast you noticed. I was tempted to edit it and phrase it better, but it might have ended up "too perfect " . I'm sure you know what I mean : )
Thanks again Tom, for commenting on my music. This is meant to be about someone who is encouraged to be upbeat and happy and enjoy life, while privately they are thoughtful and confused, and that is why the mood of the music changes around so often. It's just an experiment to see whether I can convey mood and emotion without vocals. I'm glad you liked it. Next up will be a sci-fi tune, coming soon : )
I struggled to get this thing completed. I've been sat on it for weeks, finished, debating whether I was really prepared to let it go.
I loved the song when I wrote it, inspired by a wonderful week at the end of September. But the recording…

Thanks Brett
I like the classic style and this was definitely an earworm for me -Tom
very nice dok
this is great
Haha! Thanks for listening Tom. I enjoyed making it, and it became a bit more light hearted as I went along.
I enjoyed what you did here, Steve! I can imagine this being the soundtrack to a remixed Road Runner cartoon.
Cool upbeat vibe on this one, Steve! Fun stuff!
I received your last kind comment and wanted to thank you. Blessings upon you, dear sir. Blessings upon your people.
Thanks guest. : )
very nice-as always!
Thanks keycrazy. I try to keep it interesting. I’m grateful to you for listening carefully and commenting on my music.

tony south dakotah loves you for your comments on his tracks on Alonetone, and he deeply thanks you.
Digging this one, Steve! The melodies, chords, and drums blend nicely with each other. Super cool closing solo too!
Great original music!
Sounds like you've stumbled onto a vibe that would fit right in on the new Blade Runner movie's soundtrack; great work here, Steve!
Thanks for your continued support Tom. This was an attempt at a techno sounding tune with enough, but not too many instruments. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks Brett. I had the idea, and then was a bit nervous about the end result to be honest. Thanks for your kind words
I like it, it's simple and strange, but it's pretty and works!
Rad stuff, Steve! It sounds like you're exploring new and exciting territories with your last few songs. Looking forward to hearing what comes next. :)

Love the guitar and vocals are excellent! Great song Gary : )
Praise indeed from somebody who knows what they are doing with keyboards/synths. I appreciate your comments, and thanks for the vote of confidence!

Excellent song. Well written and performed Andrew. Reminiscent of early Bowie for me, but unique and stylish in it's own right.
Thank you Andrew : )
Thanks Andrew. Appreciate your comment. I wish I could sing better though!
Thanks James. I'm flattered
Like the interplay between the instruments. Nice variety, cool tune.
Like the eeriness you create
Wow! Very professional Corrie. Beautiful song and performance : )
Mellow sounds, dreamy and cool.
Nice James! Sweet vocals, very short. Will you expand this into a longer song?
