Hey HMW. Thanks for playing (and posting). I really liked that first track. I've recently done a "The Crow" movie marathon session, and that vibe would fit in nicely in any of them.
Third one was also great bass. I coulda used some of that on my calypso fusion instrumental.

Flake, great post. Your son is not only the front man of that group, but he is also the star. The "riff guitarist" needs to learn some restraint (overplaying distracts from the song)...I know because I was guilty of that myself. Once I was able to focus, I liked the song a lot.
Thankya.
Thankya.
Thanks! I thought that too about the guitar in several tracks... I think partly it's their age/experience, most of them were 18-19 when they put those tracks down. Also, it sometimes felt like (for the Metal tracks) that if it's Metal.. that the music should be LOUD... well yes, but not to the point that you can't hear vocals.
This was their first experience in a recording studio, they got a lot out of it... lots of learning ahead though.
Thank YOU. I am not skilled enough to help you out with your calypso fusion, but thanks for the kind words.
I'll offer up a little something:
Coaster Thieves - Push Push by Marc Reichman on SoundCloud - Hear the world’s sounds
Coaster Thieves - New Horizons by Marc Reichman on SoundCloud - Hear the world’s sounds
Links to my old band's two albums on Soundcloud. They were self released affairs. I prefer the stuff on the New Horizons link. That was our second album, Different bass player and singer than the first link. We also had a better producer and access to a much nicer studio for the second one.
I am one of the two guitar players in the band (not the guy who's picture you'll see on the link. That's my buddy. He is the other lead guitar player). I also played all the acoustic guitar parts and did some background vocals.

Those were great, thanks! (The lead vocals in the second one is a wee bit reminiscent of a younger Bowie!)
Thanks Swiftdog2.0
I dig that Punk meets Prog stuff.
I prefer the second link/album also. Soft spot in my heart for Iron Maideny vocal vibrato.

Some of the best ear candy I have heard in YEARS. Soulful, spirited and haunting; I hope you 'do music' professionally.
Thankya Vulture.
I had to sell one of these (it was MY six gun) to make rent during law school.
Jem7VWH, my dream guitar for a long time.
Now I only occasionally pluck an acoustic that a police officer gave me (strange story there).

I'd like to hear the story. Your fingers are magic on a guitar. I'm learning chords but am years and years away from the excellence you portray.Thankya Vulture.

Amazing skill, you! I liked them all, but the second one was really awesome - it's just exactly the kind of music I like to listen to - a bit bluesy. Fabulous!
^ Thank you
I don't remember playing it (vodka era) but I remember watching a James Bond movie right before it popped up on my recording computer. All I did was improv the theme a few times, getting more "out" each time.
It turned out quite sexy.

Those were great - a couple had that T-Bone Burnett feel that I love.
Incredibly talented! I can't imagine you having a son old enough to be in a band, I always picture you with little ones all around.
I'm having trouble figuring out how to make these play, but I'll work on it and give it a listen.
^ Re: Having Trouble: I did too. I don't know that site. There's that universal triangle "Play" button at the top of the page. Good listens.
Thanks for listening

Thanks for listening. We had a pretty broad range of influences within the band. We all listened to a wide range of music. I'm from a classic rock / alternative & punk school of playing and writing and the other guys brought in the prog & metal influences.
very nice. I liked them both.
