[His Majesty]

Hi there!

The version of One Vision I over dubbed on to at home doesn't feature a real Mellotron, rather it's the E-MU Classic Keys module(see pic). It sounds pretty good mixed in with other instruments, but not so convincing on it's own.



I like the playing on your tracks, the saxophonist especially has a great tone, but I'm not so keen on the vocals I'm afraid. They are the weakest part of your set up imo and don't match the greatness of the instrumental playing.

Cheers for the feedback

Yeah, the vocals are the one part I'm also unsure about. They have been growing on me, but i don't feel they should really have to, so if anyone else has an opinion on them let us know.

And yeah I have heard "Space Shanty" A generous fellow not long ago gave me his copy on LP - in stunning condition as well. This was a really moving moment for me.

The album is good, but i still prefer his later works. Got the remastered "open" on cd, and apart from the few absolutely dreadful tracks, there are some real crackers on there

Just bought a copy of Hawkwind's "levitation" on LP. Has been discontinued for ages on CD, but found a copy on ebay. Yes!!!!

Anyway, more feedback on our work so far is very welcome guys

Cheers

Really like this band.

Round and Round - Prog Rock is about the sudden changes to some extent (listen to ELP or Yes) and this track has this done well. Don't think that is a valid critism.

Where did you Go - I remember this as 'song 1' I think it was called. This recording sounds much better (the original sounded really good also and this is an improvement upon that).

Real Mellatron is an impressive thing to come by. I have software sample from M-Audio/GForce called M-Tron
M-AUDIO - GForce M-Tron - Virtual Vintage Keyboard

Look forward to seeing The Snake Temple Kings live again. Was really good last time.

Keep up the good work.

I really like the ambient opening and build-up on Round and Round.

This is not strictly my cup of tea, but I find the sudden changes of tempo to be too incohesive, especially on Ad Nauseum.

You've got a very classic overall sound (probably down to the organs and the guitar solos) that I can't help but associate with prog. So for me, it's a bit too generic.

But I totally appreciate the musicianship involved.

cheers for your thoughts

any comment on the actual mixes of the music?
