drummondo Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 I've nearly finished recording my band's demo CD featuring 5 original tracks. I've uploaded the tracks, and I thought I'd let you guys listen to it, see if I can get a few opinions The only thing they need, really, is a touch-up here and there and a few backing vocals.

Mira Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 So far digging it. If I get a chance I'll PM you my thoughts later.
Wyvern Posted September 3, 2005 Report Posted September 3, 2005 So, I just went through Kawada's "Between The Waking and the Shade EP" for the third time this evening, and must say that I find it an enjoyable listen overall. :-) I'm not the biggest expert on accoustical rock music, but will try to provide some feedback for it in this thread. I found the opening track, "Gone Away," very catchy and melodic, and it may rank as my personal favorite track on the album. The guitar riff (provided by the Pen's very own drummondo, no less!) had a lonely western feel to it that complimented lauramacrhcp's vocals very nicely. I was definitely digging the tone and atmosphere of this track. "Beautiful Nightmares" is probably the track I cared for the least on the album, as I didn't think the vocals melded well with the music, and didn't like the strained singing on the chorus. "Maybe Strange" was much better... I really liked the bassline that opened this track, and found the melody and chorus quite interesting and original. I didn't care much for "Caring Touch," as I didn't like the lyrics or vocals much and found the music fairly average. "Friends" closed the EP triumphantly, though, and stole the crown for second best track on the EP. I like how the track starts sad, and then becomes more uplifting with the chorus. I also loved the way the guitar and bass complimented each other on this track, as is particularly apparent after each of the choruses. Very nicely done, overall. :-) Three out of five ain't bad... I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this EP, as I had previously only known your recordings by the B-sides listed in your dmusic profile. ;-) I'll be on the lookout for official releases from Kawada in the future.
Sweetcherrie Posted September 7, 2005 Report Posted September 7, 2005 Sorry drum, been meaning to reply earlier.... I liked all of the songs, but defintitely think that "Gone Away" is the best I've probably said this before, but your band would do great in '2 meter sessies'. It's a music program in Holland, and if you ever managed to find some of the music recorded during that show have a listen....pretty sure you'd like it
