Super well done!

Roads, LOVED the tongue clicks. That made me laugh. I did feel like it took a little long to "take off." But it was cool when the guitar came in. Very unique sound. But made me feel like I was in an alien space ship, so that's good? ?

Ford, super cool melody and feel. The break with the voice between the mellow and the distortion was cool. I felt the distortion was a bit harsh, but fit the mood well.

Nice entries guys! ?

Outstanding entries! :bopping: Really enjoyed the both, making a tough decision for a vote.

Roads : Dug the laid back journey vibe, everything worked really well together - outro was the cherry for me.
Ford : "Houston we have a problem" into the riff, great! Bass line & sound was especially cool, though it overpowered the drums slightly? Your first recording attempt...can't wait to hear the second one.

Roads:

Haha classic.. that was bizarre. That's how I used to talk to my budgie. You might want to put a gate on your mic and consider filtering out some of the unnecessary low and hi end, but very entertaining.

Ford:

Brilliant first attempt at recording. Playing was tight, good composition. Drums were a little boring for me, you could have thrown in a fill or two and changed things up a little. Guitar tone was very fizzy as well, could have done with a fair amount of EQ.

With the clicks sounds like the Koi are on their way to Venus??

Ford
Maybe a novice at recording but not at playing!!
Nice work

Talking part was pretty cool ? Made me think of space cowboy vibes... The rhythm guitar coulda been a touch louder for me.

Ford
Liked your idea and your playing rocks!
