Description : This is a collab with some wonderful musicians from this site.SpellJammer and I were going to start recording this song and he had the idea of adding sax.Of course Slap Johnson was the number one choice and he was very gracious and did an excellent job...as we knew he would.SpellJammer had the core elements in place and I added several guitar parts...but it's Slap that took this to a new level.
I hope you enjoy this Looperfriends!Please comment and let me know what you think and as always visit both of these guys on the site,they're very talented and have many great tracks.Thanks,Allen

Cant believe I (WE) didnt thank you here for donating this beautiful track to the Music For The Kids Album!
Thank you, it's definitely my favourite piece of yours.

Stay blessed, and may life bless you even more & put a smile back on your face. And soon!
Chin up, my friend!

Wow...I`m almost lost for words on listening to this one Allen...Its fantastic stuff man...You`re ready for the tour so head up this way & I`ll get advance tickets..(guess Slap would have some extra travel..Ha)...Some of the Loops biggest talent playing here & the super production values sure dont hurt the cause..Slap`s sax parts are just great, but then every other part fits to perfection too....commercial quality...and another fav (bu the time I get through your playlist my favs folder should be getting full)....a big well done to all involved...Ed

Ed!!
How did I miss this review...I gotta get my priority's straight.

Thank you so much and these guys deserve so much credit.
It's interesting how Spell and I do these tracks,he sends me the complete produced song with percussion,keys,bass..it's his melody.
I layer guitar tracks around Spell's but on this one I backed out the guitars and added Slap's sax first then worked around both of them.
It took me quite a while but working with this talent and the outcome was worth it.

I appreciate your listen and review my friend!

Thanks for this great review CyberSon!
SpellJammer had the wonderful melody and I just worked around it.
Everything fell into place when Slap joined in.

Wow. This is a piece of art. The guitar is really relaxed and the beat works great with it. I can't put what I think about the saxophone into words. I can't get enough of slap's sax work. The whole song is just well put together and so relaxing. Something I would hear really late in the night on a laid back radio station.

Can't put any more praise but just perfect!
Thanks for sharing this piece with us!!!

Thanks so much Matthew!
The really cool thing about this track and Slaps part is that he played along with our track,we didn't use any loops from his awesome library..which would have been fine but this really brings him into the collaboration.

They both deserve all the credit..SpellJammer can always bring out the best in me,without him I would just play a bunch of old Van Halen licks :)

Thanks again,your review is very encouraging.

One of my favorite words for SpellJammer and Slap is smooth also.I'm glad you enjoyed it cause it was a joy for me to play on this!
At some point we hope to convince Slap to do another with us..I can't credit him enough for the magic he did on this tune!

I think this is a record for me, faved in about 3 seconds. Have you guys thought about hitting the road together? Slap is one of my favorite people in the whole world, such a nice guy and such a huge talent.

The blending of talent on this one is just heaven.

This is so good on so many different levels, it's hard to know what to say, other than....well,

INCREDIBLE!!!!!

This one deserves a standing ovation.

I'm on my feet gentlemen.

I'm not joking when I say that we work hard on these songs,Spell and I..I thought I would never be satisfied with the mix and there was a lot to mix...lol!We do pour our hearts in this and I'm pleased when that can be heard.Slap spoiled us with his addition so maybe we can petition him back for another!
Thank you for your support,it's why we're working on ideas for the next one :)

Oh my. This is it. Yeah.. Judging from the genre it would not really be my first pick to listen to, but d@mn I'm glad I did. The delays and effects are superbly balanced, the clean, crisp tones are just amazing. Makes me lean way back in my chair, close my eyes, and really, really enjoy this (way beyond) excellent masterpiece of a track. I'm just.. wow. It took my breath away. I have no words.
AllenV
AllenV replied Unknown
Thank you very much Steinaa.I agree that genres can get in the way of some good songs and I know I've missed some great tunes myself because of that fact.
This was such a group effort.I am always pleased to start with a well crafted melody from SpellJammer,complete with all keys and percussion and his quality out the gate is fantastic so a lot of work has been done right there.I do spend long days layering in guitars around him and more time mixing,to me that's the key and eats a lot of time but I haven't found a way around it...Fun yet work,with a payoff and Slap Johnsons sax really completed the feel we were shooting for.Nothing is scripted here so these songs from Spell and I take some time to complete...we can't push em out very fast and they remain very much inspired,they inspire me to do more and I hope they do for you.
No lie my friend...I have both versions of your song Remember Me on my mp3 playlist at home...it moves me every time!
Thanks again,

Allen

Hey - one more thing - about mixing - you had said you had to mix the sax in real time - just want to say that mixing in real time is in my opinion one of the great things to do - I love movement - when the volumes, pans and even eq's and effects are changing as I am listening to a song - to me that really adds life to a recording!! Again, great job you did on this!
AllenV

Hi Allen - really great - especially your guitar work is fabulous - you really have a great ear for the fills behind the sax - very tasty - nice tight mix too. Great job, slap on the sax - and anyone i may be forgeting - is that a live piano or loops? it's a great sounding piano. hats off!!
AllenV
AllenV replied Unknown
Hey haven!That would be SpellJammer on keys,he does a great job.I appreciate your mix comment,I didn't realize just how much work goes into mixing.I kid you not...I have at least 8 or more mixs of this...I couldn't make up my mind and the more I mixed,the more I wanted to mix lol.One challenge was that Slap played to the track minus guitars and as I added them the dynamics changed so I had to adjust his levels real time,I couldn't just set it and leave it...lol.Another learning experience but I'm glad it payed off and you enjoyed the song!

Description : "Oh no - not jazz metal! You're not supposed to mix those genres together." Yes, but someone's got to and the musical gods have chosen me for the difficult task. 9 mins of instrumental jazz metal - damn I sure know how to write a hit song - US No 1 here I come. Anyway - there's some dark, swinging groovy jazz, with Rhodes and guitar as the main instruments, for a few minutes and then some haunting, thumping evil breaks loose. Look out for the powerful synth horn sound. And then it just gets heavier and heavier before returning to some nice chillgroove funky mystery jazz. Instruments played and/or programmed: electric guitar, bass guitar, electric cello, multiple programmed acoustic drumkits, filtered strings, Rhodes, big synth bass, evil synth horn and a few other assorted synths. I assume this has too much jazz for metallers and too much metal for jazzers. So, only for weirdoes like me who enjoy both. This will surely be too odd for most people but I like to think it's pretty interesting and powerful. Let me know how its weirdness worked for you...
