Description : When I heard "Chameleon" by Herbie Handcock back in the 70's I went to one of his concerts (it was great) and from that point forward I knew I wanted to learn to play Keyboards. This track uses the Bass from that track (sort of). I apologize in advance if anyone out there is a hardcore Handcock fan, this is totally my interpretation of the track. PEACE...

    Very cool interpretation. Also especially love and appreciate the drum fill from around 1:39, tight as a... well, as a drum :)

    Hello BaoBou,

    When I learned that little Bass line back in 1972 I thought I was God LOL. I must have played it 1000's of times on everything from a Acoustic Piano to a Micro Moog (which had just came out) I used it to decide which Keyboard instrument I would buy (Farfisa Professional Gino Vanelli had just released
    "Ma Ma Co Co" he played Farfisa)sorry about the rant I may or may not have had too much Coffee. LOL.

    Thanks for your listen and comments on this track.

    PEACE...

    combustible sprit-music, man! you sound good playing on the dirty side, here its a nice revelation to hear hancock without the bright finish that characterizes his electronic stuff. the bruised knucks are just massive on that bass right outta the gate, and the funk flows well with the jazz. crazy good stuff!!

    Great guitar bass indeed as we of use of vocals. I forgot a site to the Psychedelic that you're also really good at the funk. Nice ad libs

    what I did that "moved the crowd". Your encouraging
    comments keep me hacking away until I reach higher ground.
    Thanks for your listen, comments and Fave.

    What's up Paul,

    Herbie Hancock is one of my all time favorites.
    I think he has brought a lot to the music scene
    in respect to Keyboards.

    You can probably find at least a sample or two of
    the "Ghosthack Vocals" on all of my tracks. I call them
    my "Bro's and Brides of Funkenstien"lol.

    Thanks for giving my track a listen and for the encouraging comments.

    PEACE...

    Hello Ian,

    I'm glad you enjoyed this track.
    Ordinarily I would have obsessed
    over this track for weeks trying to
    get everything "just right" but this
    one kinda just came to me and since I've
    played it over and over in my head for the
    past (50 years!)I spent more time deciding which
    of the hundreds of VST instruments to use, than I
    spent putting it together. It was kinda refreshing
    to start and finish a track in one day.

    Thanks for stopping by and giving it a listen and
    especially for the encouragement with the Fave.

    PEACE...

    Rob! You did this classic big time justice. That bass line never gets old. The synth tho! The bass! Whats up with that drum business @ round bout 1:40? Nice breakdown too. Ok faved!

    What's up Mark,
    You know that sooner or later I was
    going to have to give my boy his props.
    This was a one and done. I'm glad you liked
    my Drum embellishment @ 1:40. I was trying to
    stat as minimalist as possible on this track. I
    was so grateful that it seemed to work without me
    having to go through all the rituals I usually use
    that take weeks or sometimes longer.

    Thank you for your listen, Fave and continuing encouragement
    along our musical journey.

    PEACE...

    I have this Herbie album, Headhunters isn't it? Crazy album it is! He also plays keys on one of my favorite miles Davis albums In a Silent Way. Your version is pretty different, much smoother but still got that funk. Very cool in fact.

    Jynxz
    Reply by Jynxz

    Yes... The album with the computerhead Keyboard player on it.
    The Headhunters were the musical group behind Herbie Handcock.
    They specialized in African and other exotic Percussion instruments. At the Herbie Handcock concert I attended they did about a 5 or 10 min solo of just Percussion instruments. It was amazing.
    I'm glad you didn't find my rendition of the track offensive, after running that track through my my head for 50+yrs I've got at least 10 or 20 versions of it in there but, this is the one that came out.

    I appreciate you giving the track a listen and for your encouragement with the Fave.

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.

Mark

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...
