My opinion...The small studios were right. I guess if the guitars were mixed
back some (a good deal) and real drums were on it, you might find some
"square peg" types that might find your stuff interesting.

To me--and this is opinion--music has to have a soul to it, or it's a waste
of time. You sound like a Devo redux. Now, some might like that, I just
don't.

good luck

I like it. Exept for maybe the guitar solo<g>
Reminds me of something Little Steven would play on his "underground garage"
show.

Poly

Good first attempt at recording. Work on the melody a bit more and
change things up some. Sounds a bit like you are on a tread mill.

Kinda reminds me of the Electric Prunes. Weird? I don't think so. Needs
to be practiced more so that every part has been made the player's part, but
it's not weird.
