Title: Ed said March is prog rock month ;) Post by: zeoy on March 21, 2007, 10:46:20 AM Made for the 70s prog KVR March contest:
moog, mellotrons, bass, drums, guitar and odd sigs http://www.artmaster.gr/zeoy/0703_zeoy_Neptune.mp3 Title: Re: Ed said March is prog rock month ;) Post by: kara on March 21, 2007, 10:56:47 AM Great song, sounds real prog rock, for what I know about prog rock ;D
You have a real moog ? :o Title: Re: Ed said March is prog rock month ;) Post by: zeoy on March 21, 2007, 11:05:41 AM The only "real" instruments there are bass and guitar. Moog is from Asynth and mellotrons from tapeworm ;)
Title: Re: Ed said March is prog rock month ;) Post by: Ed on March 21, 2007, 02:53:40 PM hey man, whats up
you know this sounds a bit like some old Genesis, Trespass maybe great alternative timing changes that tapeworm sounds pretty good I use the nanotron, I'll have to give that one a try dig the drums and your git tone excellent there nik hackett, I can see this being 7min thing...although you'll need a synth guy to get that moog in motion ;D be in touch Title: Re: Ed said March is prog rock month ;) Post by: zeoy on March 21, 2007, 03:51:34 PM although you'll need a synth guy to get that moog in motion ;D sure man. When I was doing that crappy solo I thought you were my man for this but didn't ask you to because: a) I did kinda collaborative entries for the previous two months (friends doing vocals) and b) I thought it'd be a hell to collaborate using different hosts while there were 4/4 and 11/4 alternating time sigs on this one. I'm very happy you liked the sounds. Have a beer ;) PS nanotron you said ... (/goes to check it) Title: Re: Ed said March is prog rock month ;) Post by: Fred S on March 21, 2007, 07:00:06 PM I can see this being 7min thing Yeah, Zoey, I think you got most of the intro done ;) ;D Cool stuff, 70's prog vibe for sure. Great job with that! A good listen for me....I love me some prog now and then (or most of the time ;)) Aren't odd meters fun? Title: Re: Ed said March is prog rock month ;) Post by: zeoy on March 22, 2007, 09:06:35 AM Thanx for taking the time to listen and comment Fred. Some prog from time to time doesn't hurt. Same goes for time sig oddities
btw you got my nickname misspelled, but you can call me Nikos if it's easier for you ;) Title: Re: Ed said March is prog rock month ;) Post by: one on March 22, 2007, 03:58:55 PM Hi zeoy
Awesome!! I'm a fan of Genesis style prog and this is yummy!! Tapeworms cool I've used it a bit myself!! 1 :) Title: Re: Ed said March is prog rock month ;) Post by: zeoy on March 22, 2007, 07:25:11 PM Thanx 1
Nanotron ain't bad either (thanx Ed for reminding me that sweet little plug) tbh I've never been a huge prog rock fan but it seems that all those influences from back then work subconciously. Title: Re: Ed said March is prog rock month ;) Post by: Martin E on March 22, 2007, 08:07:01 PM Well you may not be a big prog rock fan but I think you nailed it pretty well in this piece.
Prog Rock is not my style either though Fred drags me into it sometimes. ;D Nice mellotronish sounds. Have to check out those vst's as well though I do have the M-tron. Title: Re: Ed said March is prog rock month ;) Post by: Marc JX8P on March 23, 2007, 05:29:26 PM I commented already in the KvR forum, but still - this is too good a track to not say anything about.
Great stuff - I love the mellotron sound and the searing guitar and how the arrangement progresses from one section to the next. The sound is Pink Floyd-y to me (I think mainly due to the pitch bended notes and the guitar play). Oh - and the hammond organ is wonderful too. Only thing - the track is about eight minutes too short... ;) Title: Re: Ed said March is prog rock month ;) Post by: zeoy on March 23, 2007, 06:26:39 PM Thanx Martin. Your guitar playing and sound is great. I 'd like to know the setup you use for guitar recording (talking bout refugee - gotta post my thoughts in your thread)
@Mark: thanx for the double comment. Your submission in KvR is one of my favorites but since I won't have time to write reviews for all entries I prefer to not write at all. Hope you understand Title: Re: Ed said March is prog rock month ;) Post by: Marc JX8P on March 23, 2007, 07:32:25 PM Thanks! No problem at all - I quite agree; if I hadn't time to review all tracks in the competition I'd have done none too. In fact, some months when there are 70-80 tracks or so I really wish I hadn't written those first few reviews... :D

This is a nice track. And it shines into the Kvr contest Jungle for being one of the most realistic prog music examples. It is closer than others to the original mood and style of the 70's progressive bands, imo. The choice of sounds and playing style is excellent. This is based on a good melody, and I like the changing rhythm, and both drums and bass are mixed in the way they used to. Excellent productions and good inspiration. Cheers Title: Re: Ed said March is prog rock month ;) Post by: birdbrain on March 23, 2007, 08:29:10 PM just wanted to say i listened and love it. nice emotional synth leads. powerfull.
Title: Re: Ed said March is prog rock month ;) Post by: magmavander on March 23, 2007, 10:03:06 PM This sounds totaly vintage :)
You captured very well this spirit. I enjoyed a lot the bass and the drums, very good groove! Cool ;D thanks bye mag Title: Re: Ed said March is prog rock month ;) Post by: zeoy on March 26, 2007, 06:33:49 AM Hey, sorry for not replying earlier to all those very kind comments guys. I started writing code again after many years (no it's not VST stuff) and got carried away. Too many hours spent during the weekend :o
I really didn't intent to participate in the KVR contest this month. I wasn't totally happy with this one so I just tried to make it sound 70s. I think that I got at least that bit right. Thanx again 8) Title: Re: Ed said March is prog rock month ;) Post by: Fred S on March 26, 2007, 09:38:56 PM Thanx for taking the time to listen and comment Fred.

And, thanks for the name option. Old farts like me need a little caretaking and patience ;) |
