Description : This is the final track from the first Global Ska Network album. I started this album in Feb thinking I could do all the tracks in time to finish the RPM challenge. I was wrong, but I didn't want to rush what I had started and compromise quality. This track is about the general can't be bothered culture we are facing. You know the kind of people I'm talking about! They want everything for nothing,and expect everything to be handed to them on a plate. They also would rather do dirty deeds to (lie,cheat ect) Than walk the right path..
Verse..How many more times,how many more lies spat at our faces.you wheel and deal,cheat and steal
won't win the races.I turn my back,try to protect the love that's left,you want that too, the greed you show despises you.Chorus.You'll always learn the hard way,
you have to have the last say,stop living day to day,
the future's what you make it,get out there and take it..
10 piece horn section, including a clarinet high up to add a sparkle. All instruments and vocals Slap, drums by Sonic foundry.
Again I'm looking for constructive comments towards the arrangement and mix/production. This track has 24 tracks, so if you feel a tweak is needed please say. I thank you all in advance for taking the time to listen and review...
Cheers Slap...

Description : A warm indie ska summer track filled with nostalgia, lightness and Mediterranean vibes. Back to You blends sun washed melodies, soft retro tones and an intimate, honest atmosphere. A song about closeness, longing and finding your way back to someone.
The description comes from Manuela as this song is a work of Nuela and True Sister Band. It is based on a musical idea I worked on and, of course, entrusted to the magical hands of these exceptional musicians to turn into a great piece of music.

Sooo.... where can I buy it?
You seriously blow me away, I wish I could borrow just a lil of your musical talent just to learn guitar properly ;) This is just solid musicianship all the way around... and you know, your higher range kind of reminds me of Sting.

Cheers Dave :)

Now for something random...
I know they might be more electo-centric, but I'm thinkin that you might enjoy some of the music by Dub Pistols. They've got a couple of tracks on their album Point Blank that are sorta similar.
Anyways, I think this is one of those times that ya rated yourself too harshly (as we artists tend to do alot with our own works). It might've been a rush job, but it certainly doesn't sound like one mate. And I think that's where it counts.
Oh, and something else that's random...
For albums I base my stuff on the calendar (aimin for 1 track a month, if I come close to 12 I'm happy). Time also factors in too, slightly. I always try to shoot for around an hour. As long as it hits close it's good. Just some food for thought.
Back on track, about the track now. Sounded decent to me. Thanks for sharing. Later on!
