Gompers Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Someone sent me a personal re-EQ of Vapor Trails. I have to say, I like Secret Touch better on this mix. One thing that would massively improve the tune would be to remove the vocal over-dubs through most of the song. Also if the song could be cut back about a minute, it would work a lot better for me. I think panning the guitars a little more would spread the sound. It has some nice raw power and some serious knock down the wall aggressive moments.

treeduck Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 It's a modern heavy metal classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mika Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 If your remix of VT was sent through this forum, I think I have the same one, though since my computer crashed I haven't been able to check it out. So instead, I'll give some love to 'Secret Touch'. Love it! Love how it builds up, then gets soft, then gradually builds up again at the end. And the bass in this song... when I finally get my paws on a bass, I'm going to be learning this one. It's not typical Geddy-fast-noodling, but some drawn-out high notes that just rub me the right way. So happy I caught this live a few years back.

NYM86 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) The instrumental section in this song reminds me of Caravan's, or should I say vice versa. Just the way they compartmentalize it from one distinct jam section to another to another, then end with a big climax that ties them all together. Very good song.

losingit2k Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Its has always been my favorite song off VT. I only wish they had remixed Secret Touch instead of Earthsine for Retrospective 3. Oh well soon we'll gt the whole thing remixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
