Description : If this isn't funk, than grits ain't groceries! If you're old enough, you may remember the Temptations. This track is my inspiration of this wonderful group's music with such songs a 'Psychedelic Shack' and 'Cloud Nine.' Unfortunately, this music is lost on today's artists, which is a shame, cause it was sooooo good! This track is not a recreation of the Temptations, but my inspiration of their style with my style thrown in. Hope you like it.

    Never saw the Temptations live, but I did see the Four Tops! Great groups. Fantastic music. This is really nice echo of that era.

    Yes, a lot of current music isn't all that inspiring, but there still are some really good musicians out there making the real stuff. Just watched the video of the Tedeschi Trucks Band tribute to Joe Cocker, on Youtube. Leon Russell and other alumni from the Mad Dogs and Englishmen Tour.

    Susan Tedeschi is a remarkable singer and her husband, Derek Trucks is, well, an inspired musician. And, from what I've seen of him in interviews, not full of himself. Dedicated to making good music. There's good music out there still, but a bit harder to find I think.

    hello Scott.

    this is some really enjoyable tune, not really a proper 'song' that much for me but just a nice combination of different short instrumental solo sections and that is perfectly fine!

    I find the bass line and the keys really inspiring. to me funk styles will always sound modern - they are a true source for a great amount of contemporary music.

    I will check out the bands you mentioned, thanks for some nice inspiration.

    all the best to you, alex

    Wow really nice track. Brings back good memories, and when you said Unfortunately, this music is lost on today's artists. I am a little lost in this since I do not hear music in today's artists.

    I think Soundhound and I am on the same page also.

    Hey James,

    Glad you like it and took time to comment. I agree...I seem to dwell in the past, musically, since I just can't find anything in today's music worth listening to.

    Hope things are going well. We have corresponded in awhile.

    Cheers,
    Scott

    You are right Scott...
    This style has gone by the wayside, like Classical... :) the bone yard
    is full of good music, that this generation will never understand...
    They have dumb down the music playing tools, so the don't have
    to think...Just Drag and Drop...They don't need to play anything
    anymore, there is really no work involved " No Talent Needed " to
    become a Star or so they think...
    Back in the day, if you couldn't play it there was no instrument
    that would say it for you...
    If we had these tools back then, and did things the way we did
    Man...The whole game would have been different, it cost me a
    small fortune to do the tracks I did back then...

    You've done Motown some Justice with this track...
    Nice 1...My Man...

    Peace...TG.

    Thanks allot, TG. Your comment of doing justice to Motown means allot! You're right, the kids today just don't get it. Unless you go to an oldies show or listen to an oldies station, you can't hear it. I knew there was something strange when a guy scratching records on stage was considered a musician. In the early days, scratching records was considered noise. Now it's considered music and a turntable is considered an instrument! Oh well.

    Cheers,
    Scott

    Oh yes...it is funk...and not just that, it's a sensational
    one! Due to lack of time I won't go into details but this is as inspiring and powerful as it gets! Faved for sure!

    Sensational groovy based music with your innovative drum...tha bass is more than good...that part from 3.03: the drum, bass duel is outstanding...

    Yes, I create what I love, so even though I reach back to the past for inspiration, I always hope other fine musicians, like yourself, can still appreciate it. Try as I might, I just can't find inspiration in today's music, unless it's jazz.

    Always a pleasure to hear from you, my friend.

    Cheers,
    Scott

Description : It's the first mission I have to go on alone. My deserving, long-time companion, co-commander, navigator, on-board psychologist and brilliant astronaut Robbie was lost during our last one. I had received signals from the ice planet L115 indicating that he may have crashed there with his exploration ship. Follow my search for him there as I go from valley to valley, ice mountain to ice mountain, and have to leave the planet again without success. Looks like this could be a very long search...

Description : This is another Jazz/Funk composition. My brother on the Loop, BaoBou was kind enough to grace this track with his fire on guitar. Also, as a result of his contribution, I got inspired and added even more funk into the mix. Enjoy.

Description : This track starts off with some Jazzy Neo-Soul then gets into some Funk with a Rock Space-Synth solo, then ends with some straight Neo-Soul.
So I won't offend anyone that's hardcore into Funk, I'd say this track is "Funkish"
PEACE...
