The Siren's Call (remix)

Get Flash to see this player.

Description

I've heard the siren's call before
and had my heart dashed upon the shore
Once again I hear the call
Am I headed for another fall?

Some suggestions made by MacJammers led to this remix with stronger drums and improved bass. I'd like your opinions.

	Fine tune(d) Reminds me of Mezzoforte, a fusion of jazz/rock, but you have an added element of a Far Eastern sound going on thru this. Very powerful and invokes images of a strange land. Like the overall composition. Could easily be a TV/film theme. Check out my latest song called Bordertown (LIVE)

	Return Back for version two. I liked version one, but I can see where the stronger bass and drums grab the listener more. Nice upgrade :) Thanks Bill Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

First thing I noticed
is you dropped the key dow about a full step. The bass seems to fit better now, and when the drums come in you know they are there without them being too much in your face.

Great job on the remix Bill, I like this version even better than the first one. The whole song sound better and more cohesive now. Love how the keys sound in this one juxtaposed against the bass and drums

Very cool track Bill, even I can hear the siren in this one.

Be well and be cool my friend,

Ed

key drop
I decided to do that to help the bass line. I added harmonics to the bass because one of the problems was that it was a lot of sub woofer energy with a the fundamental frequencies below 120 Hz and not a lot of harmonics. When I added the overtones it took some of the guts out of the mix, So I dropped it a key to gain a bit more growl. Plus I had just grown tired of the key and needed to refresh it in my own ears. :0
