Believe You
I was listening to some old stuff last weekend and came across this little tune called "Believe You" that I'd forgotten about. It was a song (in fact, the only song) that a good friend of mine, Brendon, and I worked on. Bren is a talented musician, and we should've worked on more stuff I think. Anyway, the background of this song is that we were both strongly into NIN at the time (or at least had been for the previous few years) and I guess that influenced what we ended up recording. My favourite memory of this is recording the "vocal solo", crouched on the floor of my bedroom wailing/screaming into a microphone like a banshee. My housemate at the time gave me some strange looks when I finally emerged :) In any case, I think the track actually turned out OK. The lyrics aren't exactly earth-shattering stuff, but I do like the concept of the song. Check it out here.
p.s. I wrote this blog post a few days ago, and was waiting to FTP the song up before posting. I just relistened to it now. I actually don't think it's that great a song on second listen (I think some bits are quite good, but other parts are quite mediocre), but I'll put this post up anyway and let you be the judge :)

i quite liked that, an interesting piece of synth-industrial, i reckon closer to Depeche Mode, although not too dissimilar to early NIN. the starting sounds were great, the synth drums pretty good, and the 'wailing solo' was pretty extreme, at times it was hard to distinguish it from guitar with all the effects. i was hoping the ending would drown in increasing layers of noise ala Eraser or something, but alas...
