Some cool sounds going on guys! I heard what sounded like some kind of faint female voice panned hard left that really gave an interesting vibe to this (might have been a processed guitar or something). You guys work well together! Great job! Thanks, Torrey

I`ve now heard of the Skyrim video game some folks thought of and enjoyed listening to the doomy vocal apocalypse theme song - thanks for that guys!
Scott didn`t mention in the intro that he`s playing a synth on the intro/chorus of our song... I believe its a first and does lend a prog rock flavour listeners have picked up on.
Many thanks for all the generous comments.
Robert

Torrey,
That high sound you hear could be the only harmony that`s from Helicon & not mine, or possible the high cinematic guitar.

To me, this sounds like hybrid 60s/80s music.
Robert's lyrics are superb.
The guitar work creates an enigmatic mood, complements the lyrics, and keeps the song moving forward.

Spirit Level...
Cool band!! Flashback City!
The lyrics zoom over my head for the most part, but...
"gods fall into you
on the skyrim"
I like that.
Good mix - especially for the style. Vocal is tucked in nicely.
Super guitar outro!!
fj Thanks Floyd. Thanks for the comments and glad you liked it. Hi Scott and Robert,
I can imagine you must have had a lot of fun producing this song. It's indeed very psychedelic as Jptjptjptjptjptjpt said.
And there Spirit Level was born! The name gives some associations with liquor, but I don't believe you're using that so much.
I have something to confess: I listened to the song, read the lyrics, I love Roberts' voice and because you are professionals in music it must be very good song, but this isn't my kind of music. So don't be angry with me, just try to accept you have to deal with those people too...
But stay safe,
Hans Thanks Hans. Back in the day pretty much everything was spiritual. Not angry with you at all. Very much appreciate you checking out the song and commenting. One thing that is very cool about this forum is the abundance of diversity in the music that is being presented here. Before I joined the forum I pretty much dislike jazz but I must say it is growing on me. There are some very good creative jazz musicians in the forum. A few more song and I am sure we will convert you :-) Just listened to Spirit Level by you guys. Reminds me of a Neil Young song if it was a little more rocky. But very nice, I really like the alternative style. Neil Young's music was a huge influence on me. He spent a few of his younger years in Winnipeg Mb which is close to my hometown. He was a local music hero that hit it big. Another group was the Guess Who that came from Winnipeg out of that era. Cool song. Very Psychedelic. Circa 1967. More Stones Satanic Majesty's Request than Sgt. Peppers. Congratulations to both of you. Good luck to the band. \\ Or maybe The Blue Magoos or the Count Five to name a couple. Very 60's psychedelic genre for sure. And extremely well done. I like it a lot. In fact it brought me back to that time. Very cool description of the lyrics Mario. Love the Blues Magoos reference as well. So glad you liked the song.

This is MUCH more Pearls Before Swine/Tom Rapp.
I was worried by the title though as it's a popular online RPG that's quite violent and sexist.
Lovely combo and a very cool collab.
Cheers

A reglula Jefferson Airplane, you two.
Hey, seriously, that is a good sound. I like how you pack
an epic journey into the reel.
I used COVID as an excuse to bite the bullet and buy
an effects pedal for little Homer, stopping some short of
Wah but having a good reverb and shimmer. How long have
we been saying the instrument is really the thing on the
other end of the cord. Scott was able to project three
different voices and demonstrates what I thought, too, which
is the effects make it easier to emulate the human voice.
Good job, mates.

Whoa...I'm catching a David Byrne vibe! How fun is that. I was trippin' in the audio sense. Really cool. A lot of fun to listen to! Great job!

SkyRim
Great overall sound, had a bit of a progressive rock thing going as well as the 60's psychodelica.
Very nice collaboration.
Peter Thanks for checking out the song Peter. Sort of let the leash out a bit on this song. Was sure fun to play.. Glad you liked it.. Scott / Robert,
Love this and love the whole idea behind it. Awesome work and collaboration!
Bob Thanks Bob for the awesome comments. Glad you liked the song. Oh, yeah, I can see everyone running through Golden Gate Park. Great new Band name. Guitars sound great, Scott, and the lyrics are perfect this, Robert.
"the Vertigo Lounge
sells upgrades
a day at Childhood`s End
on the Mirror Carousel
meet yourself
coming back the other way" Thanks Marty for checking out the song. Roberts lyrical story telling can take you to a special place. Very nice to go back and revisit.

I couldn't help but think of the iconic video game called Skyrim when listening to this. Liked the energy in it, and the guitar was very, very good. Of course, I am a big fan of RKC's lyrics and that was the usual treat. Thanks guys! Thanks for checking out the song. Really glad you liked it. Well as one who made the obligatory trip to Haight Ashbury in the 60’s and as one who actually wore a Neru jacket I feel qualified to offer an opinion: I like it! And so does Janice although our 12 year age difference made her a grade schooler then  The sound is a bit more progressive than the classic psychedelia of the era but the lyric and vocal really capture it as does that super cool wah wah. And, if I might say, this collab really captures the spirit of this forum. Kudos, J&B Thanks Janice and Bud for checking out the song. That would have been very cool to stroll the streets of Haight Ashbury during the late 60's. I did drive through San Francisco in 1973 on the way to LA but did not stop to check things out. The progressive rock does naturally sneak out. It was always playing in the background. Glad you liked it...

This is classic psychedelia, its a change to me nearest to this I got was Steve Harley and cockney rebel
I enjoyed this ,you both have started on your own adventure/band so good on you.
Take care Thanks for checking out the song. Very cool to go back in time and revisit the past. I think if we actually were able to it would probably hurt allot lol.. NICE .....I was expecting similar music to the video game Skyrim. This was a great listen, thanks guys Thanks Graham for checking out the song. Your comments are very much appreciated. Glad you liked the song. Some cool sounds going on guys! I heard what sounded like some kind of faint female voice panned hard left that really gave an interesting vibe to this (might have been a processed guitar or something). You guys work well together! Great job! Thanks, Torrey Thanks Torrey for checking out the song. Not sure what the faint voice you heard was. There was allot going on in the song. It may have been my synth. I have been playing it more since the isolation thing has been going on. May hear a little more of it in the future songs ;-)….Glad you liked the song..

Robert & Scott. Great that you decided to dedicate a separate channel for collaborations. I think it might be a start of something interesting. SkyRim, is a nice continuation of Spirit level. Strange in a very good way. Psychedelic, sure, but listens very smoothly. Lyrics are strong for this type of genre and have a mind of their own Vintage guitar feel works very well. Cool synths. Very creative and fun. Good balance between electronic and live instruments. Thank you for sharing! Misha.

Good job, mates. Thanks for the awesome review Ed. Glad you liked the song. I find with the effects I sometimes dive deep in to them and sometimes they don't get used much at all. Mostly of a mood thing.. Whoa...I'm catching a David Byrne vibe! How fun is that. I was trippin' in the audio sense. Really cool. A lot of fun to listen to! Great job! Thanks for checking out the song and the excellent review. Glad you liked it..
