Description : A little while ago I loaded an acapella called "In My Hands". It started off as a short poem, then became an acapella - so I decided to use it in a full song. I also would have liked to sort the track under ethnic (as genre) as I used a lot of African Male choir clips in the track. Some brass, which I hardly use, gives the track a "marching band" feel. Also used some awesome loops from PLANETJAZZBASS! I owe such a great debt to him! His stuff is stunning!

In a nut-shell, I personally LOVE this track - I had so much fun putting it all together, and it's a real labour of love... about love.

Also... there a guy explaing quantum physics in there aswell... kinda "play on word" that you shouldn't have to be a rocket scientist to be able to figure out love... although it helps!

Enjoy the track... and as always...all reviews welcomed.

This song makes me wish I had hips like a woman, because that's where the rhythm immediately moves to and entices.

I'm actually left quite speechless, even after two listens. So intelligent without alienating or leaving anyone behind. There's absolutely nothing I can offer constructive criticism for. I can offer up a fave however.

I'm greatly impressed by your creativity and skills, Minette.

hips like a woman.... hehehe. As long as your "hips don't lie" :)

It's awesome when someone hears the song the way I intended - lyrics are such a big aspect of the creative process to me.

Wow, its amazing to hear your acapella in full song mode, your voice really brings some emotion, this kinda reminded me of Ireland, green fields and blissfulness, awesome track.

i consider Ireland my spiritual home... so your words mean a lot to me. thanks for commenting. Also, I really wanted everyone who's downloaded the 'pella to get an idea of where I was going with it when I wrote it initially.
Thanks for the listen Salook!

Description : Remaster and rework of older track that just didn't feel quite finished. It was lacking guitar work, and a better arrangement. I think it's in a good spot. I never did write lyrics for this, the vocal samples just seemed to fill it out pretty decently.

Description : Underground sample-based hip hop with overdriven low-end, broken-beat swing, sparse funky piano chops and heavy turntablism. Beat gaps and sudden mutes create hard-hitting drops, with a raw, dusty, low-frequency sound.

Description : Sorry to bombard with the same track. Here's the final version of the track I made using an Acapella from Looperman by JakeBuzzard. Now remasterd and with sub added plus scratches and more independent equalisation on drums / doubling up on a few instruments. I've also increased the volume on the samples used and the main vocals - as mentioned before, I'm deaf in 1 ear so struggle to get a good stereo mix, honest feedback is welcomed please

Anyway, this is something I did on my off time while fixing my car. Time to do a break job before winter!
