Hi guys, I need your input!
We were messing around with some recording at our last practice and
the link beow is to our 1st original (the rest of the set is mainly
covers). It's a song I wrote in a hotel room in Florida while
evacuating from the first of two hurricanes that hit our area, and
it's called "Hurricana." Anyways, it's the first Cavefish original,
and I'd appreciate it if I could bounce it off you guys. The
recording is SERIOUSLY lo-fi, so take that into consideration, but be
brutal...
Thanks a million!

Here's my brutal suggestion, Pat,
I know you're just looking for some quick feedback but, as I would say for any
demo, don't let it out until it's recorded properly and you are happy with
everything about it. Sending out "scratch" piece with apologies for sound or
performance quality is not advisable, in my ever so humble opinion.
There used to be this urban myth that you should send out a "diamond in the
rough" so that producers would feel like they could do something with your work.
Wrong! It's gotta sound purdy darn good to get attention.

Hmmmm, a chance to be a critic?
Sounds like fun Patrick, thanks for offering it up. And congrats for
stepping out like this with something as creative as a song. (I must
qualify myself as a "cover band" guitarist of late, but I did used
to write over 20 years ago in the Ripp Tides)Check out Phil's Reverb
Central for Ripp Tides critiques. Posting your invite to listen to
your new recording, hopefully will inspire the "creative process" in
myself and others. A good thing...
After one listening, here my thoughts. At first I thought it was too
repetitive with the standard 12 bar blues format, but you were able
to add some drama as the song went on and the little change up near
the end was cool too. This song does seem to beg for the
good 'ol "cha-cha-cha" ending, fairly rare in "surf" music. (I am a
sucker for the cha-cha-cha, others might disagree.) All in all, I
dug it, great energy. 3 out of 5 stars, great start, please write
more.
Looking forward to your next recording, keep 'em cranking.
