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.

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.

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!

Description : I wanted to produce something as close to conventional trap as I could, while still keeping the Mindway sound. The verses and bridge are as close to rapping as I will probably ever get, and using 808s is kinda growing on me. Maybe could be better, but I am liking where it is.

Description : This is a complete redo of a Jazz track I wrote a while ago and uploaded earlier this year. I attempted to remaster the original, and it bit me. So I bit back and here's the result. Jazz with a Latin flair. For those interested, I mastered this using the HUM JAAL mastering limiter. I'm loving that BEAST! Take a listen and share your thoughts Enjoy!

Description : What up LM family, next up is a track we put together last week, and one of my current favs. I got the stems from Nea Mera's remix of 'Make Em Feel This' and made some dope samples that really accent this track. He said it's hard for him to hear everything that I did with his stems, but I also know that LM is full of audiophiles who will pick out everything in a heartbeat. So Remember, this was your suggestion, Nea Mera LOL. I remembered to list the personel this
