Description : very groovy cover version of an old pop song of "The Carpenters" of the late 60´s......full arrangement with some special Frank Zappa inspired solo parts....style is between funk,pop,jazz and latin ,but i prefer the funk genre for this version....no use of the original track or any loops and no remix ,but a special interpretation of this evergreen by Psychotropic Circle 2008

Hey Robert.....I'm reviewing this track again as I was listening to it on my player,while walking through some wetlands birdwatching the other day.....what's great about this arrangement and the playing on it is that it pays respect to the original melodies without being dismissive of them or replacing the fundamentals of the song...I was thinking of the Carpenters and wondering how they would react....I think they would love it!......It is a very uplifting piece..very happy and fresh without the slightest hint of worry......There's one other cover song that I love that reminds me of a similar but totally different approach musically..Miles Davis's version of 'Time After Time' by Cindy Lauper........cheers dave

thanks again Dave,
this track was one of my favorites when i was a teenager,first love affair etc..............than i had a look on you tube watching this old clip done in the 60s with that singing woman playing the drums.........i love it....."why do birds suddenly appear...every time you are near......." so i totally can imagine that you´v listened to the track while walking through some wetlands birdwatching and having lots of memories of past events maybe ....i take this for serious and never could destroy these feelings i had although it was along time ago........basics of our youth ........
but now "You´re Under Arrest"......since 1986 waiting for rescue....i also love this Miles track

regards,robert

Description : 'Love will find you at the right time'...This track is about how we vibrationally attract love. From my recollection, in the early 20s/teen years, a typical place to encounter this wonderful force was the Disco. (Kay)

'I always wanted to produce a funk and soul song, as I love the rhythms and vibe. I hope you like my first attempt at this. Many thanks to Darren Hirst for his great bassline' - Oli.

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 : Another one of the older tracks I'm gradually pulling out of storage to rework. For this little funk thing, I played a new bass, added some extra sounds, and remixed and remastered the whole thing. I hope you enjoy it.

Description : Continuing my journey with sampling. This was mostly an accident, and not where I originally thought it would go but I'm happy with the destination. I started with the track Real Reel Switcher by Eunice Russ Frost, which has a slower melancholy swing to it, however I've been playing a bunch of older video games lately, with SSX being in the mix heavily, so this track ended up taking on a bit of that for inspiration as well. Would love your thoughts.
