Thanks for the glowing and timely review! I didn't know if the judges would accept Ween-psychedelic rather than Beatles psychedelic! Believe me, I went the extra mile to make this 'fab-dumb' and even had a guest play trombone for that special touch!

Re: Nur Ein XI- Round Four

Nice guitar clean guitar part. Is the “Creep” ca-chunk the flaw? Totally coincidental, or accidental! There are glitched out drums that get louder (during the verse) but I was having mixing problems at the last minute so it might not be as apparent as I'd liked. I only got to hear a little bit so f...

Re: Nur Ein XI - Million Watts

(The drum glitches go up as you get to the chorus - flaw! Well, among other flaws!) It's thundering outside The rain will not end The power's gone out And I can't tell you when There's nothing i can do The room looks opaque I'm just lying here Trying to not be awake When I can't see the end in sight...

Re: Nur Ein XI- Round Three

Thanks for the consistently thorough and fair reviews, j$! As an FYI, I wrote the words with some tongue-in-cheek! (I laughed really hard at "dozen planets" and my reference to egg-and-spoon race !) I love the ‘cardboard box’ tone on the drums. Do you think it the samples or the processing...

Thanks for pointing this out. I think my naming scheme may have enabled the chance for clerical error.
