TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Hello all,Just uploaded a rehearsal recording of a new song that we've been working on. It's called "Only Tonight" (working title) and is a bit of a departure in terms of what we've previously done. I am quite pleased with it though, except for my inability to play in open D properly!Thoughts?Panda Eyes on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 We've had some feedback from other places, but not from the folk on Aberdeen-Music. Anyone? We are planning on recording soon, and considering this song as a potential candidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatHand Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 As usual, myspace is being a twat. I'll try and remember to listen to it later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest idol_wild Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Jan, I've been critical of the violin in the past, as I think you and I have discussed, but it's used beautifully here. I like that build up.Sadly, the song cut off for me a few lines into MC's lyrical vocal.But it was sounding really nice. A slight shift away from your early sounds, but in a good way.

FatHand Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 I liked it! Thanks for the link. Keep up the intersting music, good to hear something different from the norm. I've been meaning to catch you guys for ages but never seem to be free or miss you for some reason! I'll make it along some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 I like it, it's a really pretty song and it's got a nice celtic folk-y feel to it.My only negative comment (which feel free to ignore) is that the fiddle is a little bit too much at times. It sounds brilliant and really really adds to your sound, but there's like 4 minutes of solid fiddle before the singing even starts properly, then he/she plays under MC's vocals as well, it starts to grate a little bit. I think it would have a lot more impact if it was used sparingly. Just my opinion like, for what it's worth.You guys have really come on leaps and bounds since you first started out, and you're doing something really different, which I have a lot of time and respect for. Keep it up.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster Zero Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 I had a listen last night, I liked the song overall but to my ears it seemed like there were issues with the violin/guitar and singing being in key with each other, it sounded a bit off at times. It may be that my rubbish speakers hooked to my PC misrepresented the song but I don't think so. Sort that out and it's a good tune. The violin is probably the best part of it to make it different. MCJ's vocals are nice as ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memphis Skyline Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 I had a listen last night, I liked the song overall but to my ears it seemed like there were issues with the violin/guitar and singing being in key with each other, it sounded a bit off at times.

MCJ's vocals are nice as ever.I agree actually, although I think it's down to the poor sound in the rehearsal room more than anything else. It's just a really rough recording done on a mini disc...but it gives an idea of how the song might work. It's actually one of my favourites at the moment to sing.

jcn Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Hey guysYour new stuff is really great, but there are a few problems with intonation in the fiddle. Not to pick on Carol or anything, but I don't think she should be playing all the time, just leave it to the odd gem...? I think this would help a lot to tightening up your sound. I think I would also like to hear a few more unusual sounds from the drums i.e. use toms more, snare, etc. But hey it's just my opinion, feel free to it out the window if you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Thank you everyone for leaving feedback on the song, it is much appreciated.
