Roshi + Lowlifi - Bali
Release
StoreTags: Roshi, lowlifi, crazy drums
Author: Roshi on January 11 2007
--> This is a track off my EP, Postcards. I do drones, bass, and shoegaze, and lowlifi did the drums. Any comments on the mix would be really appreciated, since at this point I've lost all perspective on it.

Lowlifi makes me sad. Mostly because his drums are so damn good on this song, that I have to go back and redo the drums for three of the tracks and I don't know how I'm going to get them to sound even halfway competent.

Other news: I finally put up an andonuts myspace page: link . Feel free to add me as a friend!

You took out the cowbell solo!?!?!?! ;-)

The mix seems a little to0 loud and distorted, it seems like everything else is too squashed..I would say take the pulsing melodies or distortion down a bit..

...its too loud, and I am too old.

it makes me wanna do my spinning-in-circles-waving-my-arms dance, the one that shows off my dreadlocks so well.

Oh no, the cowbell solo is there, it's just...er...subsonic.

Thanks for the mixing tips...yeah, the distortion is pretty thick, plus the gamelan is kinda loud.
