Triviul - Gimme

[MrGroove]

This song is an advanced tester, one of the more advanced tunes on the forum.

I'm flattered. Love the boldness of your vision -- you're not afraid to take a hammer and tongs to the tracks, and I love hearing that. You've given it a kind of edginess that was more buried in the subtext in my original version, and I think I quite like it being more explicit like this. The apparent gentleness of the sounds/arrangement is of course a ruse in this song, and you've made that more apparent. Sometimes the extreme way you modulate the balances from moment to moment took me off-guard, and isn't a listen for the faint-hearted, but I liked it a lot. Reminded me of Portishead, who I've always been a big fan of. Thanks for posting!

Hey Mike: Edginess YES! Portishead SUPER YES! This material has a soul and character in the middle and my focus is to reach in and capture (and embrace) the soundscapes that comprise the song.

I'm finding that each song is starting to feel to me like children: all from the same source, but each one has their own unique personality..

I really like your take on this tune. I held off listening to it until I'd finished my mix. Like what you did with the drums and bass.
