Is the Music Lab just an empty room?

There hasn't been a lot of action in the Music Lab of late and I was wondering why. I made a post in there a few weeks ago. The song I posted does include lyrics. Just to prompt you, here's another one as bait (Killing Gods). I won't post lyrics here. I'll save them for the dusty Music Lab.

I'm halfway through this song. If we didn't have this room, we'd have to build it for you. This is fantastic.

Your voice reminds me a lot of Peter Murphy. And I love that someone still writes five-minute songs. This is gorgeous.

If you ever play up in the Sydney area, let me know - I'll be there, and I'll bring mates.

I'm off to listen to your other link now.

Thanks, poetinahat. From a lead singer's point of view (which is always fraught with self-doubt and self-loathing ;), the demo quality of these recordings is quite apparent, especially in the mix of my voice. Too far forward in the mix. Having said that, I trust my musical buddies to know what a good demo sounds like.

As much as I like praise from listeners, I'm not shy of insightful critique. After all, I'm always thinking about improvement.

I'll let you know when we're in Sydney. In the meantime, I'm just putting the finishing touches to our website.

I honestly have never been in the Music Lab before, so I'm glad you posted and brought my attention to it. Great song.

Only for a while.

After that, I won't be new anymore, of course.

...meaning, of course, that I'll have become an old fan!
