Description : Dan contacted me about colaberating on Four gray walls or Standing at the end of the world. He sent me this music. for Standing. I thought four fit better. but after recording it. I realized the car effects weren't right for it. So I wrote Drive. Sent it to him and he tweaked his part and here it is. He has posted it in parts unknown. I did this singing and also spoken. Went with spoken. It's a pretty dark piece. I love the music and effects he used.

Hi Blair,

Getting around to catch up on reviewing some tunes here for reviewing mine.

I like this song a lot. Has a good feel to it.
I'd say the voice is a little too bassy as it is a little hard to hear it clearly. Other than my opinion on that, it is a very nice song and well put together.

The car sounds came out very good. The crash at the end is sobering!

I just listened again the other day. Thought the same thing about the vocals. Should go back and adjust the EQ. Probably won't though. Thanks.

I like it...great way of building a scene with music and words alone. I would have liked a possible reverb effect on the vocals a bit maybe, but otherwise, its wicked yo. Great job

i heard the original 4 gray walls pella not so long ago, and the first second i heard the voice i was like 'sickkkk' love the voice and tone of it, awesome chill music.

i have this picture in my head of a guy, in a car, window down, with his elbow leaning on the window, bopping his head and singing the tune. HAHAHHA

sweet vibes mate!

PS: just curious where you got that intro sample from, of the guy getting into the car. because i heard something quite similar on a Stanton warriors tune, a bit different, but similar! both gives the tune a great mood :)

Thanks for checking it out. I just wrote and recorded the vocals. Someone else did all the music and FX.

Wish the guitar was me on this one but it wasn't. Just wrote the lyrics and read them. Dan did the music.

It's hard to keep up. I wrote the song to match the music Ruben sent me. While life is good now there was many years of misery and despair in my past. I just tap into it once in a while figureing some people can relate to it.

My friends don't understand how I love Jazz and Funkadelic (the original) at the say time. This song simplifies why. It has that same feel. I was blown away with this for personal musical reasons. Thanks man, Can I have another?

I don't see how someone could not love jazz and funkadelic together. We must be about the same age. Your friends must be jazz purists. Thanks for the review.

Great use of panning in the driving parts, but panning the footsteps at the beginning would have been good.

The words are excellent. Especially the "spinning out of control" parts. Great use of double entendre throughout the piece if you ask me.

Thanks a lot. Dan did all the music and FX. I just listened over and over till the words came. I really enjoyed doing this one. Who knows I may be the next william Shatner of music. LOL

Do this all funky because for some odd reason the Wimpy player kept lockin up on me or not playin once the track was loaded. So I downloaded and am listening to it now on WMP.

I let this play in the background as I did a few things and now I wanna ask- Have you ever seen the movie Lost Highway by David Lynch? That's what alotta this reminded me of. Seein someone drive down an empty 2 laned southwestern freeway at night. Surrounded by pitch black and the only illumination coming from the headlights and the scant few stars in the sky. Cool atmos man. Lates!

When he sent it to me I had to write something new for it. I had a lot of fun doing this one. Thanks for listening and I'm glad you liked it. I hope do do some more stuff like that.

Description : A stranger's knife is expected. It wounds the body and spares the heart.

But when the blade comes from a brother's hand, or a son's, or a wife's gentle fingers, it carves something no surgeon can repair. They knew where I was soft. They had always known.

I have been betrayed by enemies and I have been betrayed by kin. Only one taught me that trust is a door, and family holds the only keys.

Blood binds us but It never promised to bind us kindly.

Description : EASE. Propella Head.

Dark atmosphere meets melodic lift in this upbeat roller from EASE. Deep bass and a driving groove keep the momentum moving, while the melody brings an emotional pull. Propella Head draws you into the shadows and keeps your feet moving.

Description : We used to ride all night thru downtown Chicago blasting Return to foever in Marks 72 Vega with 12" Ventura BIC speakers in the back that were chrystal clear. i was still too young to drive. Those were some of the greatest times I ever had I'll never forget that band the bandmates or those times. Mark out did himself on this Re-mix/Master. He also updated the Drums, makes the track feel brand new, even tho it's 4 years old.

PEACE...
