Marrakesh - PsychotropicCircle

Description : in 1976 we bought an old Mercedes Bus (our former drummer and I) then traveled to Morocco,bought some classical concert guitars in Malaga and took the ship from Algeciras to Ceuta visiting all medinas in Morocco .......from Fes,Meknes to Marrakesh etc. and back again........we had an old tape deck in the bus and listened nearly every day to Frank Zappa,Chick Corea,Herbie Hancock and especially Weather Report and all the other great fusion stuff that was actually produced in those year......this is an attempt to capture a bit of the flavor of this 3 month trip when everything seemed to be very easy...........an old track composition digitally rerecorded in 2008 Co Psychotropic Circle

Tasty fusion track, superb work on the bass and as PJB pointed out the interaction between bass and melody is perfect.
I don't think I am gonna getting an answer, but I am really curious to know how you got this bass sound?
Synth?
Thanks again for sharing your music with us.
Tchuss, Domenico

Great piece of fusion work. Zappa comes through strong in this, as do Weather Report - superb stuff.

Aah year 1976 when punk came and I thought only new good music after that was fusion jazz. This is quite stylish.

I really like how fleshed out this track is. Countless elements at play but you did a great job of finding the right place for all of them to shine in their own individual context, as well as that of the whole. The happy vibe of this is infectious and I love your use of the drum crash here. It adds a good contrast.

Quality stuff, it made me feel like i was in the chrono trigger world or something, similar kind of style to some of the music from that game

The rhythm section on this track is as closely intertwined with the melody line as I've ever heard....a superb tune that incorporates an almost pristine clarity..I'll be downloading this..speaking of which ..I vote that your track allocation be increased..I know this has been done before on the site...especially considering your loop download statistics.....anyway MrPC this is a fantastic track...by the way I was on the road in 1975 in a Citroen camion...could have passed you!!!cheers planet :)

This track is amazing, and you have captured some emotion in this, at least I can feel something...almost like I was there, traveling soaking in the scenery...if you had video of your trip this would make the coolest music track. I definitely dig it man - good work!

Atmospheric liquid drum & bass meets deep house and UK garage, blending rolling breakbeats, deep sub-bass, chopped ethereal female vocals and nostalgic late-night ambience.

Description : I wanted to create something dark and romantic with an RnB and retro wave touch. This song has a retro futurism feel to it. I was inspired by The Weeknd when I was writing this song, especially his first mixtape, House Of Balloons, hence the deep roamntic analogies in the songwriting. I have sung this song myself and produced it too. No AI used here. This is an old song.
