Really very nice of you to offer that to me ... oh yes, getting some of your original recordings from the period would be a great thing. If it doesn't cause you too much trouble to convert it I would be very interested (yep, the good old tapes). I've always thought about continuing that old style somehow, with a little more modern twist maybe... and I still hear the influences in current tracks... Jack seems to have come to stay.

Have a nice day,

Micky

Hello Mark, when you make a song for the love of your life, the motivation boost is enormous - at least that's what happened to me. I am very happy that something of this energy jumped over to you. Also, I'm glad you mentioned Chicago House. Oh man, I'm a real fan of that. I was already a cover designer in the late 80's and the label we worked for back then wanted to release almost the entire Chicago House portfolio here in Germany. As graphic artists, we then received all of these original records as samples, as sound templates for our work, so to speak. Yes, and that's how I got to know and love this genre. You know: Jack Your Body, Can You Feel It and so on. I just like how reduced it often comes across and yet is very effective. There is also something spiritual about it, if I could only get it.
By the way, I don't want to go unmentioned that I played the bass and guitar "by hand" in the traditional way (cough).
I'm so glad you checked it out and commented so encouragingly.

Greetings,

Micky

Hi Wayne,
well, two years ago I checked with Looperman and they replied "covers only if you got permission". I think I'm just too honest. Funny, although I'm actually as subversive as can be and have a lot of criminal energy. All right: on your own responsibility ;) ... then I'll dare my cover versions. By the way: I'm Your Boogie Man is an excellent choice. There's a "dance part" in the middle, just the rhythm section with guitar (timelessly good) - I've sampled that before and made a track of it. Listening to Jerome Smith inspired me to buy a Telecaster. He was one of my absolute guitar heroes!

Good succeed! Cheers,

Micky

Hello Wayne,
oh man, KC have always been one of my absolute favorites!
I've been meaning to cover "I Get Lifted" for a long time, at least I think it's more of a possibility than say "Get Down Tonight" - impossible to cover let alone improve on - it's just perfect the way it is! But I wouldn't dare without official permission. My experience so far has been that it's super hard to get official permission to do a cover if you want to do it non-commercially, just for fun. So I better save myself the trouble...
Thanks for the nice comment,
Micky

Helo Imola,

I'm really glad you like it, even though it's galaxies away from The Prodigy... ;–)

Cheers,
Micky

Hey Manu, thank you so much for the kind words. And yes she likes it very much. Thank you for stopping by and listening.

Cheers,
Micky

Hey there Terry ... pretty flattering. I really love making music, but there's never enough time to do as much as I'd like to. I have so much other stuff to do that I can only produce at a snail's pace, which really annoys me, but what can you do. THX for listening ... Cheerio

Believe it or not, I've been trying unsuccessfully to get permission for a (non-commercial) cover version of (WE DON'T NEED THIS) FASCIST GROOVE THANG from their company for years...

Thank you for listening!

Cheers,
Micky

Thank you for listening. Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers, Micky.

What's up Jynxz,

thank you for listening and the fav ... I know if you like it it must be good.

See you soon ...

Peace from Neanderthal,

Micky

Hey there Musicsavant!
Thank you for listening. I'm so glad you liked it. Actually, I had already stored this track from two years ago in the basement and almost forgot it there. Somehow you discovered it and that brought it back to my memory. So I said to myself why not do the mix again and polish it up a bit here and there. Thanks for the support!
Warm greetings,
Micky

Hahaha ... you got it! What a nice comment! Thank you!
Peace,
Micky

Alright - feel free to do so. Glad you like it.

Uhh - really? Then maybe I should consider renaming my profile into DADDY COOL ... ;-) Thanks

Wow! What an amazing rewarding comment this is!!!
Thank you so much, sweetcherries.
