SuperPuss website update (Critique my music)

[Titania]

Well, now that we have our own Misc, I thought it was a perfect opportunity to pimp my music here

Comments very much appreciated. Reps may be handed out on occasion but please be honest.

The first song "John Hunt" was alright. I liked the dialogue at the beginning, but as the song got going it felt like it was missing substance. Maybe a stronger bass line?
However, I liked the second song "Valentine" a lot. Very chill, and I really enjoy the style. Perfect just the way it is. If you had an entire CD like this I would buy it.
Third song "Aurora Flight" was another alright song. When the guitar finally comes in it's a good song. I just didn't want to wait that two-three minutes to hear it. Good song, but the synth at the beginning was not my taste.
I'll review the final four when I get back from my workout, but I have to leave. Do you really mix that all by your self, and is that you playing the guitar track? The guitar track is well placed in every song and sounds good.

Not bad! I liked the first 3 songs ok. Different from anything I would normaly listen too! I bet my wife would really like it. I will have to play some for her later!

[Titania]

Thanks guys

gjgbull,
I played all the instruments on all the tracks except the sequencer part on Tweaking Inertia (created and written by Morbius) and the lead guitar part on Aurora Flight. That was played by a good friend of mine who is an amazing guitarist.
...and yeah, the recording, mixing and mastering was done by me in my studio. I'm working on some 5.1 channel mixes of everything now too.

I'll be getting my new Roland V-Drums kit tomorrow too and will be writing some more stuff for the album along the lines of 'Valentine'. V-Drums are absolutely amazing and I can't wait!!!
I also have a cool new plugin for Protools which allows me to get pretty much any guitar amp / mic combination I want. It is called Amplitube Jimi Hendrix and is the only plugin I have heard that really does act and sound like real amps. It can create anything from a Vox AC30 with an SM57 in front of it to a big Marshall stack with a Neumann U87 in front of it

The songs on this album are all going to be tied in together as one big concept once I finish recording all the 'in between tracks' sounds, hence the long intro on Aurora Flight. The idea is inspired by bands like Pink Floyd and albums like 'Wish You Were Here'.
'John Hunt' is more of a pop tune aimed specifically at radio play to get SuperPuss known and hopefully attract people to my live shows where the 'real' music will be played

Very nice, i liked all of them . This is a style of music I like to use when dubbing sound on dive/travel videos. So it always reminds me of vacation

[dillingerescp]

I really like it.

I love the ambient-esque "Tweaking Inertia", I may put it on tonight as I fall asleep.

"Formless" had a really good funk feel, and sort of a happy melody thing going on which was very enjoyable.

"SuperPuss Theme" was just awesome, ha. I love the techno, darkwaveish feel it had to it.

"Valentine" had a good guitar sound, very soft and relaxing.

The production on it was pretty well done.

*EDIT*

Oh and Roland VKits are AMAZING! I dont want one, but Ive played them before at Guitar Center, and I got kicked out because I played it for about 4 hours straight. God I want one.

[bluffcolts]

Drums look sweet Titania, Look forward to hearing more of your music!

[FeetOfFury]

that was some led zeppelin/pink floyd type ****.. keep it up man!!!

Thanks heaps dillingerescp. I appreciate you taking the time to post individual evaluations

Drums look sweet Titania, Look forward to hearing more of your music!

I'll be writing a heap of new stuff from tomorrow onwards when I get my V Drums

Cheers FeetOfFury. Zep and Floyd are two VERY big influences for me.

Listened to em all... and the 2 vids.

Not bad at all - particularly liked Aurora Flight... I think my HR went up just listening to that.

John Hunt (I'm sure there's some cockney rhyming slang along those lines ) was quite humourous.

I had to say 'John Hunt is a Coward' coz I can't say 'John Howard is a C...' on the radio!

I just uploaded a new song to my album player. It's called "Outside Everything" and will be on my "Feline Genesis" album.

This song originated from a dream..... a VERY bizarre dream!! When I awoke, I turned on my keyboard, pressed record and played. The result, with accompanying lead guitar by my good friend Lyndon Kriss, is what you hear.

This one features Lyndon's lead guitar over a bed of french horns, trippy piano and offbeat hihats!! Trippy and intriguing.

Check it out and let me know what you think.

I liked #4 , I am not much on any sorta electronic music. I like my Aussy rockers like AC/DC and Rose tatoo Best of luck with it.

Thanks Glen
Acca Dacca are classic rockers as are RT. Gotta love Angry Anderson

Number four (for the benefit of others) is 'Aurora Flight'. I am always changing the song order in my online player so it may not always be number four.

[claycat]

Wow, really impressed. Doubly so that you did most of it all yourself.

Played it the whole way through and loved it, my boss even came out and asked who I was playing, and said that he really liked it (for what it's worth he was a radio DJ).

Outside Everything is the only one I didn't care for, too disjointed feeling for me.

[Silvio Dante]

The John Hunt song was funny.

The other songs song great, but for some reason most songs skiped.

But other then that great job and keep making more songs.

Thanks heaps for yours and your boss's feedback CC
LOL about Outside Everything.... You should've seen the dream that inspired it!

I'm getting an extra tom and another cymbal (a CY12 ride) tomorrow and might get a vid to post on Youtube once I get it all tweaked

Thanks too SD.
You need a reasonable broadband connection for the songs to play smoothly.

[claycat]

That would be an interesting dream to hear about.

Don't you wish you could easily relate your dream? I dream movies in my head but, when I try to describe them, I can't. Frustrating really, because they are so good.

A dream interpretor would have a field day with me!

Yeah, i heard the john hunt song perfect and the other song, but then it skipped. But from what i could hear it was great.

Also off topic, great vids you got of your legs and arm workout. Keep on lifting hardcore.

The closest I can come to portraying my dreams to others is through my music.

Very nice. I think Formless was my favorite track. I respect anyone that plays an instrument. I know how much work it can be.

Formless actually has lyrics and I am in the process of looking for a singer / songwriter to work with right now. I think I may have found the perfect person and, if this works out, will be recording the complete version of the song in the coming weeks

[Titania]

Just letting everyone know that I have just updated my SuperPuss website and have added a couple of new tunes.
I've also added my SuperPuss Funky Feline Radio Station too. Some of the artists I am playing there now include -

Ani DiFranco
The Chemical Brothers
Paul Kelly
Suzanne Vega
Divinyls
nine inch nails
Ian McLagan (from The Small Faces)
Larree
Sugarplum Fairies
Milow
Immaculata
Pete Townshend (from The Who)
Katelyn Dawn
....and, of course, SuperPuss

I'm constantly adding new artists and writing new songs too.

[IronCamp]

I like the style of music, although it's not something I generally listen to. I could envision listening to it, when wanting to just sit back and relax.

[wouldlikemuscle]

Now I have 2 feline radio stations to listen to!
