Not my cup of tea, but within that style very well done. Why so short?
I listened to Hatfield and the North at Rainbow. They were very wonderful and they made my heart a prisoner.

thanks, the whole song is near 3 minutes, this is just the second verse/chorus of it...it's just a rough version of it...i just started working on it and wanted to just see what people thot so far

the main sound (not counting the vocoder) is a juno 106, since i recorded the music to this song, ive gotten a lot of new (but vintage) gear including an oberheim dmx drum machine with midi and original stock sounds...cant wait to start using it

i may beef this song up using the new gear and make the lyrics a bit stronger, not sure yet

I like it - reminds me of Sisters of Mercy/mid 80s stuff. The DMX should help with that.

Keep it up!

This took me back 30 years or so. Loved it! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome, I really liked it. Both vintage retro and new and fresh at the same time. You have a good voice, and the 106 does a phat, wicked baseline there… Love to hear it finished though.
