Re: Original Music

Thanks very much for the kind encouragement.  The tune is even 
getting some college-radio station airplay!

I'm afraid the guitar is not the result of some Ken Elhardt-esque 
synth wizardry.  It's a 90's Fender American Strat Deluxe Plus 
through alternately a BOSS overdrive or through a Vox VBM-1 mini-
Brian May amp's treble booster into a Vox AC30CC head and a 60's 
vintage Vox 2x12 cabinet.  The vocoder bits are done with the Cubase 
vocoder plug-in and compressed / overdriven vocals.  I find getting 
the levels right on the vocals are the key for vocoded sound.  The 
choral vocals are 40 (!) tracks of me singing in four part harmony.  
Non-virtual effects include Eventide Instant Phaser and Lexicon 
Vortex.  As for MOTM content, there are a dozen modules whose impact 
is pretty well buried in there.  Sorry about that.

Thanks again for the kind words!
Roger
