I've been away from these forums for a while. I fell ill with the flu and, while I was sick, a sh*BEEP*-ton of personal email arrived that took priority. So right now I'm trying to catch up on everything. Which is why I figured this would be an appropriate mix to post next...
I just loved the clean sound of these tracks, and the performance is so dynamic. Starts out so quiet and slowly builds, and those beautiful acoustic guitars, reminiscent of the lovely acoustic guitar harmonies in Led Zeppelin's "Tangerine," one of my favorite acoustic guitar performances of all time. Actually, come to think of it, this song's quiet start, slow build to a crescendo then quiet finish is also reminiscent of Led Zeppelin's all-time great, "Stairway to Heaven" (albeit not quite that epic ). Wow. This was fun to work with.
The only thing I didn't like was the song kept building and building and building in intensity then, when you reach the crescendo it fell a little flat; it didn't hit that high I felt it needed. I had kept the electric guitar clean throughout most of the song as I felt that was more appropriate to the song's feel, but during that final crescendo I applied distortion to it then, coming out of the crescendo, I went back to the clean sound. I think it worked rather well to push the power of the crescendo up a notch; opinions?
