thisnameistaken Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Feedback welcome, they're on our MySpace page at the moment: [url="http://www.myspace.com/copaseticska"]http://www.myspace.com/copaseticska[/url] We tracked all four tunes in a day so they are rough around the edges, and they were recorded about a month after we'd started rehearsing them, so they have become more sophisticated live since then.

arsenic Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Great stuff - What else is there to say.... OK, you twisted my arm...... Restless and In A Rising Tide are two stunning tracks - plenty of energy, well thought out arrangements, well played, great horm parts and no "overplaying" Trends shows a slower and quite thoughtful side to the band - great track. I wasn't as keen on Firing Squad - nothing wrong with it it, just something doesn't sit right with me and I can't put my finger on it. I love each of the songs "as is" - would love to hear what you do to them over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're at the stage where we're considering recording so we need ideas for where we can go to best most bang for our buck (our main problem is finding a sound engineer who understands the Fania sound we're looking for). So the more info about local studios we can get the better I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved the tracks, by the way. Especially liked the first two Restless and Trends. I thought the changes of pace in Resltess worked really well, and the horns in Trends worked great together (I hope I'm remembering the song names correctly). All in all, great work. ETA: I did type great a lot in that paragraph, didn't I., Great. Edited September 30, 2010 by lanark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 Cheers man. We don't play Restless all that much any more because our singer doesn't like the lyrics (to be fair they are weak compared to his usual output), shame because it's a lot of fun to play.

arsenic Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Had to post another comment on this - because I keep going back to listen to them - and they seem to sound better each time. If you ever get these dropped onto a CD release, let me know, because I am up for getting hold of a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 Ah cheers man it's nice to hear positive noises! We actually did have some CDs of these tunes last summer, we were knocking them out for £2 at gigs, but I don't think we have any left. They're also on Spotify now if you use that at all. We're recording another five tunes at the moment and trying to get websites and merch and stuff organised properly, so we'll have a better way of selling CDs hopefully when the new EP is ready, and maybe get another run of the old one printed while we're at it.

Wolverinebass Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I normally don't really go for ska per se, but that sounds like really good stuff to me!! Very nice playing too. Top!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
