Some notes...

Ffirst of all,"Romance" is the less complex and the shortest track from the would-be MEPHISTO BRIDGE's album "DISGUISE SERENADES".I haven't recorded other songs yet,I'm the one-man band and it's very hard to manage to do it now .

The recording session was held at local club or something; the track was recorded without ANY use of computer;the drums were played MANUALLY on keyboards(my fingers were feeling as if they're Mike Portnoy and Dany Carey!!! ),piano,guitar and vocals are by me too .The quality is really BAD,and you should spend the first listening working with your player's equalizer to make the sound better anyhow(there are too many bass,BTW).

Also,this is Neo-Prog.I don't interested much in this genre now(eager to more Art/Sympho stuff),but "Romance" is a very example of Neo,just believe me!!!


Enjoy and share your thoughts!!!

[QUOTE=Zitro] First 2 minutes: I like the drumming you did with your keys as well as the bass, I need to learn more how to use percussion (I just started). The descending riff reminds me of "Awaken Gentle Mass Touch" from Yes, pretty cool as well as the whawha effects [QUOTE=Zitro] Thanks for noticing:funny,I dislike YES' cheesy style(I do appreciate their talent,but I listen to them VERY rarely),but the opening instrumental intro is like one!!! [QUOTE=Zitro] Afterwards: Nice guitar riffing, a really neo-prog sound[QUOTE=Zitro] Oh yeah:I longed to CLASSICAL neo feeling like in the very 80s,ain't no really heavy guitars like ARENA or ILUVUTAR does! [QUOTE=Zitro]   2:20: I like the intensity of this part with the phaser effect going in the background.[QUOTE=Zitro] There was also a harpsicord background,one-in-one like the main riff's syncoped beat,but it got lost in the whole mix [QUOTE=Zitro] 3:00: Good transition, I also need to learn to do that. Not the best vocals but they get the job done and hit moderately high notes. I like how you go back to the intense part of 2:20 and develop it more.[QUOTE=Zitro] I had flu that day...it all was OK on the rehearsals,but during the very recording session when I begin singing "Rising waves"etc I thought I'd die!!!And "her romance HAS BEEN stolen by fool"...oh man,I've killed this line!!!I must work on my vocals furthermore [QUOTE=Zitro]   5:00: Nice Guitar solo man. I like the melody you put into the notes. However, the sound quality is close to intolerable here. Work on that. [QUOTE=Zitro] Thank you.If I really can do something good,is to play melodic guitar!!!The quality is awful,you right - that sucker aka "engineer" tried to create "fade out/coming back in" effect while I played my sacred solo!!! [QUOTE=Zitro] 6:20: Good outro riff and I like how you ended it with the drumming, instead of a lame fade-out like I seem to do a lot. [QUOTE=Zitro] YEAH!!!That's the main thrill!!!That solitude drum pattern at the end(as if it came too late) symbolises the heroine's loneliness etc!!!Thanks for noticing!!! [QUOTE=Zitro]   Overall Impression: A good rock song and a good effort considering you did everything in your own (the drumming is complicated sometimes to do) [QUOTE=Zitro] Oh yeah.Besides.by your own FINGERS on the keyboards!!!I looked like an idiot!!! [QUOTE=Zitro]   Suggestions: I don't know how the sound quality got bad (what recording program do you use?), I suggest the free "Audacity" where you can mix many many tracks (that you do by putting your headphones and record while listening to the first track when the mic doesn't pick it up). Maybe if you have some money, you could get a better microphone (if that is the problem). My microphone is very cheap and ordinary, but I realized I don't have sound quality issues now.

It was recorded on the MIDI apparatus - I had no musically-equiped computer with any programs...Thanks for advise,nevertheless,I'll try to find this program here for my further experiments

Thanks for checking out and reviewing!!!Am I worthy to be submitted to the Archives' bands catalogue???
