Song: Frederickson’s “Finally Found (Protilius mad world remix)”
Reviewer: Floyd Kelly
Positive Comments: Louise, a war-afflicted girl, living in a village in a far away land is wishing for better days. Escaping into the rocky mounts of the village nearby. She’s careful with the jagged edges of weather-torn cliffs. A movie clip comes to mind while listening to this – presented in blue hues with a big war mess. She stands at the edge of a cliff – overlooking a war-torn place full of strife, while dark skies memories of family abound. The vocalist’s taunts in this electro-mystery seep through a mist of a campfires’ smoke flowing through the cold air.
Constructive Comments: There is a big chunk of silence at the end of this recording. I think the vocal on this could be much better and there are pitch problems. I played this three times before reviewing. Noticeable, is the placement of the vocal and sounding flat sonically in parts. I think the instrumention could be more ‘crying’ and ‘swelling’ as this entire piece has a dark quality – so exploit it. I like the faint electro-echoes used to add mystery. There is a thickness in the recording (i.e. muddiness) noticeable in the kick drum. I think with some more work on this in a re-mix would take this to another creative level – captivating and haunting. And, please remember, these are just thoughts of a whimsical hobbit up in the woods who has big hairy feet ok.
