BigRedX Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I also thought to original rules said a maximum of 4 minutes. Not that I'd find that a constraint - In the last 3-4 years none of my songs have been over 3½ minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sausage Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Arrgh! I hope i get enough time. I can get about an hour a night for about 3-4 days a week to work on it. The second half is written but i've only got the drums and bass down. Desperately trying to get guitar and organ down by the end of the week. So i can write and record the first half. Still just have a rough idea for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skol303 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 [quote name='charic' timestamp='1352316554' post='1861606']Can I just say how satisfying it is to see everyone enjoying this so much [/quote] Yes you can! Best thing that's happened to the Recording forum. And the best challenge of its sort that I've been involved in. Granted, there seems to be a limited number of folk getting stuck in (which is typical of these things), but there's a real buzz from those that are and it's much more friendly than other similar competitions I've seen (which can, quite frankly, become tw@t magnets). This is exactly what music forums are for in my opinion - making and sharing music, not just talking about it! Great idea.

Pinball Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I like that, the first part of has shades of the 60s batman TV series theme made into an insane version and the 2nd part is very smooth! I salute you sir! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I am pretty much there, just some details to tweak over the weekend. Really enjoyed this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I've had little time to start recording and I'll start tomorrow, but I've got so little time next week. I have thought about what I want to do though, so it should get done reasonably quickly once I start. I like the ones up already, WalMan's is great, and Blademan has surpassed himself this month. It's gonna be tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great work mate. The two halves fit nicely together. Definitely has a 'soundtrack' feel to it - 60s Batman as mentioned; maybe some 80s action in there too. Really tightly played all round - love the bassline in particular. And well produced too, it literally burst out of my headphones. Love it. You're damned good on guitar, as a lot of folks here seem to be… I think you're all really guitarists in disguise! I'm struggling with trying to add some guitar to my effort - never really played one before this month's challenge, but too late to turn back now. All part of the fun though. Looking forward to hearing the rest. Should have mine done sometime next weekend (have little time till then). [quote name='steve' timestamp='1352451665' post='1863123']...the second part had a vibe of some stuff Mike Oldfield used to do with the Gong drummer Pierre Moerlen.[/quote] ^ Definitely!
