4-Track, despite being a bit cheeky , might be one of my favorite Moore tunes ever. The changes are brilliant.

Nice topic! So far, Strong and Landslide are my favourite.
Do you guys think the patreon "demos" is going to pass through re-recording or mixing again? Moore said it's going to have an Chroma Key album, so... Maybe he's gonna change the songs a little?

I really believe we need to ask Kevin to re-record the materials- at least with real drums and better instruments. We can support him through a Kickstarter project or even on Patreon so that he can hire the required musicians.
BTW, I was listening to all the demos and noticed a beautiful instrumental part in Mission. What a gem that song is, had forgotten about it.

Strong is by far the best song he's released so far, then I'd have to go with Away and Landslide.

Think the funding isn't enough yet to go through professional mixing and/or invite guests to work on the album.

All songs will definitely sound better with a drummer like Gavin Harrison. I say that because I listened to Strong and it is indeed one of the top songs. But I believe the drums (those hihat sounds are making the song busier that it should be, imo) is what held me from going deeper into the song.

To be honest, I really think there are songs that are already the real thing (Landslide is one of them) But... As much as I don't think he's gonna mess around these songs anymore, I think there are songs that would be really interesting to hear with a real drums: Bonewalk, Somewhere Better, Strong (althought i really enjoy the electronic drums!), Kings Park Youth (witch it is already real drums - cause of me of course haha), Away, Elephant boy (It would be badas!).

Well o do t know if he will hire a drummer or what, but I am pretty sure that none are final versions. That’s why they are called demos. I’m sure there are many many fantastic musicians who would be willing to work with Moore.

I’m sure there are many many fantastic musicians who would be willing to work with Moore. Oh... I didn't think about the songs being called "demos". God, now i'm really looking forward to hear the final version! Should we ask him? I've talked with him and getting answers in the past weeks (we've been planning his collaboration in one of my songs!).

All the demos are great "demos" but for them to become real songs we need a real drummer. A drummer like Mark Zonder or Gavin Harrison who can contribute to the songs.
Apart from that, some of the songs are mixed louder than the others. One song in particular is very compressed and loud. I mean, we need a better production as well.

Imo the demos are already very good songs! Ok. We don't have the same production as the previews albuns, but... It is songs! I don't really think he needs a famous drummer. The one the hired for Kings Park Youth would be enough for the job, I guess. Hiring a famous drummer would make the production even more expensive.

We will fund the production. Kevin is doing exactly what he has done before. It is a matter of "This Is A Recording" vs. "Dead Air for Radios". Kevin recorded This Is a Recording on his own and then picked up songs for a greater production as Dead Air for Radios. Considering that, I don't expect the 4th Chroma Key album to be recorded with a FIVERR.COM drummer.

Hey Better update this! I think I have a new favorite, its called Winner! :-)) Just heard that one! It's killing me that it does not have vocals ... I'm always listening to Winner trying to figure out how the vocal it's gonna fit in! Lot of possibilities, but I'm pretty sure none of them I tried it's gonna be the one Moore will choose ...

The instrumental version of Winner is so melodic. I wonder what Kevin's going to do with the vocals. I guess we already have the vocal melodies in the instrumental version. I cannot imagine it become more melodic with the vocals.
In Landslide vocals are so melodic while the instrumental version is more of an atmospheric background.

Elephant Boy is growing on me. Could be a great album. I think its some of his best work since DT.
