I like the mellow synth sound of this one. Also I can totally picture a little bespectacled lizard with an ironic mustache singing the vocal part.
The vocals are really cool! How'd you get all those different effects?
It's amazing how much meaning these voice samples can take on in their ambiguity. Well-harvested. Did they strike you or did you look for voice to fit a mood/melody?
Great name!
great vibe!
it's quite a trip....

Thanks all! I didn't go looking for any particular voice, but when I heard her flat, laconic (slightly irritating) tones, I knew that I'd struck gold. I also liked the way her speech rode over the supporting tracks.
The combination of the pads and the stretched and pitched vocals sounds awesome. Your ability to arrange and bend these samples to a harmonising ensemble is admirable once again!
Love the overall vibe in this one, and you are still a master of working with vocals. Superb track!

Thanks! I'll put that on my resumé (or at least my tombstone) :-)
This is interesting. My reaction to it is interesting too.
I love the manipulation of the voice, but am unconvinced (sorry) by the supporting part. It feels like a supporting part rather than a whole, you know? And yet the voice part wouldn't work without it.
Most interesting.
(PS. Enjoyed the piece! Just a somewhat interesting response for me.)

Actually, you're pretty much spot on in your analysis. I'm impressed (though I shouldn't be).
Very interesting work on this one, all around. Odd, but in a good way.

Thank you. I always appreciate it when the odds are good.
Lush and surprising! Loving the lizard/robot voice over the warm synth chords.

Thanks! I really enjoy making ballads about mundane events (such as removing a lizard from one's garage).
Really diggin this funky use of vocal and synths. I believe the supporting part fits nicely too.
Good stuff, Jim. I always dig your voice/vocal manipulations.

Thanks,guys!
trippy how the voice has that rhythmic element throughout, nice job!
