Even When It Rains - Rei4real

Hi.

I started up a forum thread about favourite ever tracks on Looperman and Evisma chose this very track as one of his favourites. I thought you might like to know.

You should check the thread out and also contribute.

Anyway: there is indeed some tasty guitar playing here and some of it reminds a little of some of my stuff. Same goes for combining guitar with electronic grooves.

Initial groove is a cool one and I like the extra percussion.

0:40 scratched vocal is good, especially the way it ends up revealing "beg your pardon".

Then we're rocking in a very controlled way.

1:05 second lead line complements the main riff well.

Drums could definitely kick quite a bit more in this. They're a bit "drum loopy" and some actual rock kits would probably give the track a boost but they're still pretty good.

I program my drums using Superior and EZ Drummer's various kits though I do also use a lot of drum loops, just for varied flavour.

The continued bits of scratching in this work well though after a couple of minutes I don't have that much more to add or comment on as it's pretty similar to the stuff that's gone before.

There is bass but I can't really notice it much. Definitely doing very much a supporting role rather than ever coming out and really being noticed.

Overall: some cool funk playing and I like the extra trilled notes around 4:14, just to finish things off.

Congrats!

Well, this is fantastic! Don't know if you're still active but this is some very tasty music you have here. Great lead guitar lines and tone!

I'm still relatively new here, but I'm ready to declare you the hands-down best guitarist on LM..... You know when to bring it, when to lay back, and your collabs are very much 1+1=3..... The bass synth on THIS particular song just plants the whole song in rich soil, and its nice knowing you've got the low end covered so the listener can count on another killer solo... Bravo. Hey... BTW... do a collab with me... I'd be honored... I've got a dozen tracks that need a guitar like yours...

What a great tune,your definitly in my neighborhood with this kinda stuff,you know I love funky rock guitars.I gotta listen to more of your tracks,I've listened to this one several times.

Don't you like finding an old unfinished track, polishing it off and it turns into a great piece of work ? I love it when that happens...it's like finding a treasure. Well I am glad you found the old folder on this one because it should have never have been missed. The groove is bangin....guitar driving rhythm. Man your chords are so cleanly executed...I love it ans the solo work is fantastic as always. I don't know how I missed this gem but it was a real treat. Cheers Rei ! - Bilbozo

Kick ##### dude the lead axe makes me want to party and its well rooted with the rhythm. Good job im going to have a beer with this one.

I am blown away!

This is Rockin!

Very nice work,,,,good guitar style and excecution, production is very clean.,

I love everything about this tune, the fabulous guitar, the funk and the details like the record scratch sound are really cool. I'll definitely be listening to more of your stuff as time permits. Kev

hey this track has a great polished sound and pretty cool guitar work and a sweet rhythm, and i have to agree with ultrabase its hard to review something which doesnt really have any short comings!

heya
great guitar playing!!!!
I've downloaded some of your samples to use from here.
do you ever use vocals??
they would add tremendously...you don't have to be a "singer" to do vocals...and actually anyone and everyone can sing!
even some spoken word would add to the overall...
I love your positive attitude...
all the best!

its hard giving reviews when everything is good,awsome guitar playing!

Clean. I am jealous of your sound quality.
Nice guitar playing. I am going to bury my head in shame now! Great job.
