LAST TRANSMISSION, the new instrumental from PACKAGE!

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 
Very deep lyrics here...

Listen to this while picturing yourself in the cockpit of the XOR-34 lost in the Shepanion Nebula, out of food and out of air right as a Smastodont approaches from beyond the moon of Baranian to destroy you with impunity.

Micah on drums, guitar and bass.
Me on my life support system, the Roland JP-8000.
Steve on his computer at home playing some baseball game away from us.
Andrew delivering a child away from us as well.

God, I love this one! It's a combination of rock music, John Barry, an Atari 2600, and a really funky keyboard from the 80's. Just primo stuff. And unlike most instrumentals, it has hooks aplenty and is plenty catchy to boot.

Give this one TWO or THREE listens, people. See if it doesn't burrow in your head for a little while.

When Ben Franklin said that "Silence is a virtue", it didn't apply to the Package and Nightsticks forums.

I must say that I love this tune. Very Barry in feel, and yet it just screams Package.

Excellent key work by Nick, who has become a well of ideas at the keyboard. The guitar work is vintage Micah, and the drums are perfect as well. I can almost hear Shirley Bassey wailing away during the slower part of the song.

Love it, need it, had no part in it.

Jeez....the silence here is deafening.

Folks, this one is WORTH A LISTEN.

Really.

God of Thunder to the feedback rescue.....

I think this would make a great transition piece. By that I mean a bridge in a film leading to a climactic scene or battle. That's what I pictured as I listened to it.

This one kinda grows on you. I disliked it very much when I first listened to it yesterday. (Don't listen to it when you have a headache, or you'll dislike it, too.) I've given it a few more chances and have grown to like it, but I doubt it'll ever be a favourite.

IMHO, the best sound for Package- and the Lucky Nightsticks, too- is just straight ROCK. I have tons more to say on the topic but words are evading me at the moment. Somebody remind me to complete this thought later, por favor.

It's today's song of the day. Translation: avoidance.

This is great.

Great work on the guitar Micah. I love the whining sound. This is the type of melody that gets stuck in my head.

You guys make me want to pick my guitar back up.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again...

Love this song.
