Slightly more conventional in the instrumentation. Completely fucked otherwise. List all the time signatures I used for a cookie.

I liked it a lot. Prog is one of my favorite types of music. Did you do it all on the computer? Or did you record with a keyboard? EDIT: I just read the thing on the site you posted it on. If you recorded it with real instruments, it might be close to one of my favorite songs.

Kickass, glad you liked it.

The plan is to record live drums and keyboards at some point. Guitars were never intended as part of the sound.

In that case, if you do record it, you might want to down the bass level by just a little bit. But just a little. It's probably just me but when the bass is up so much, it hurts my ears a bit. It just kinda pounds in my brain. And why I liked it so much, something about when the drums came in just sounded awesome. Can't describe it.

Awesome! The solos sound like something from an old videogame like Streets of Rage or som'at.

It's the kick drum. It's pretty much the best kick drum sample I've ever heard.

And super thanks, switch :)

Are you using a program to make this? (Well, the first version) If so, what program?

FL Studio., though I write most of my stuff externally before sequencing it.

When I first read the title of this thread I thought it said Shelfish.

It didnt make sense when i listened so I re-read it. :)

I liked it. it flowed nicely.

On a side note, I use FL studio aswell. Beautiful peice of software.
