Hi Dave! I really enjoyed listenig to this one. Super marching bassline, a little bit of guitar lines are great as well. Sometimes linear, melodic; sometimes somehow comping in a jazzier convention. Very hard and clean-out drumming.

Section from 2:39 sounds very much like a repetition of first section using different instruments only. Both sections are in the same mood, to me. Hard to explain - maybe I expected something more positive after hearing nature on the intro...

A really melancholic mood/mode of this song but so very nicely produced! Sounds very powerful. Very fine piano playing too!

Best to you, Alex

Love this piece. Lot of great music and tasty guitar packed in to this track. The sax jumped out at me with a happy yelp of surprise. I like the subterranean vocals going on. And the fade to rain at the end is way cool. Excellent work.

Truly art in motion.

wow , a feeling like im in a cafe in cuba and look across the way and see a hot girl dancing and flirten with her eyes on me :D
very nice workkk

Very much enjoyed this song my friend! You bass is one fantastic sound to behold, a bit like I'm seeing it. I am not familiar with the TV series you mentioned, as I have not had cable in twenty years. I try to keep most of my viewing back about five years or more. Drugs are an odd subject, and it gets more muddled by the day. With the pharmaceutical and medical industries being one of the main guiding forces in the US, I honestly just assume that everyone I meet is on drugs. Then there is addiction, which is a word which seems to suggest "drugs" to most people. I try to see the addiction as separate, since many people can get addicted to almost anything... shopping, television, eating, exercising, pain, pleasure, and whatever you can think of. When it all comes down to it, addiction is a neurochemical reaction in an organ of the body, the brain. Most people who get off of drugs will quickly replace them with some other addiction. An addiction to anything can be disastrous, and it can also have the same effect on personality and behavior. Life as we know it would be completely alien if addiction did not exist, since it is common to all creatures on earth... I would wager that it is the largest driving factor in this industrialized, media driven life we know now. I've been watching a few episodes of "Hoarders" again, and I think this is a great example of what I'm talking about. It is pretty uncommon when drugs are even mentioned in the show, however these people are definitely addicts. I will be the first to admit that I love a good neurotransmitter cocktail, how I get it varies from day to day, and season to season... I suppose one could say that I am addicted to living. Sorry for rambling here... I guess I found very little to say about the song itself, because I know that you know it's AMAZING. There seems to be little argument about that, from reading the comments. A "signature" seems to come naturally in your work. Excellent song! Fave!

Very thankful for this tune, since I hear it from the point of view of one of those specks of "dust." It's uplifting in all of the right ways, and gets me past all the BS quickly. The song made me wish I had been enjoying a glass pipe instead of my tobacco pipe, I'll just have to download it for later! Like someone mentioned, the bass sounded well intonated! Been fashioning a rosewood bridge for a guitar in the last couple of days, so I guess my mind is just on that sort of thing. This very much has a vintage reggae feel to me, and that is always a welcome surprise (one we don't get very often lately). Your performances were awesome! The vocal thing being a VST really surprised me, and considering it had pitch work done, it sounded quite good! Very fun to hear this one, and I will Fave and DL. Thanks for sharing it!

Thanks Dave, much appreciated!

I am putting together a radio stream in memory of my late son who died from cystic fibrosis and would very much like to use this track. He was into dub, house, reggae, trip hop and many things electronic. The stream, sonnypieradio.com will be ad free, and will not pay royalties, however I am happy to give you a credit and links. Hoping for your permission. Thank you. Chris

Love this track so much such a mellow sound Planetjazzbass

Really dig this one Dave. Brings back some memories of hanging with a few old band members and checking out different guitar music. I was never much into Reggae but one of the guys was always trying to get us to do some and was always playing us tunes from Marley, Dennis Brown, Mikey Dread and others. This undoubtedly has a fair amount of Jazz flavoring which I really enjoyed. Such a pleasant groove all the way through. Great listen , great track.

"You be schoolin us reel goode mon !"

I don't know how you do that : your tracks always have that very special touch that makes them unique. I had a nice trip somewhere else while listening to it. Thanks a lot for the oxygen.
Peace,
Carole

Sehr schön!
Yeah this is great. Really like this old style reggae mixed with the ethno and jazzy things. The sound is really well and the same can be said to the play skill.
This was a pleasure to listen to. I bet that this one is something where a talented singer could do some nice vocals on.

A really good reggae song.

stay tuned
joe

hey mon...welcome to d` island dis late evening.....is there anything you can`t do musically...reggae of a somewhat different class to my ears as I keep getting a wee sip of something jazzy...like the moon rising on the horizon....superb musicianship by all members of the band (named Dave)..lovely clean production with perfect levels & natural placement...To say this is damn good would be a big understatement....standing ovation from up North....Ed

Hi Dave!

Nice one! I'm a bit surprised, by virtue of your loops i expect a lot more "dark" track, but this was pure fun. 5 mins passed very fast.

Regards, traz

EPIC!

Sweet. Just nicely tasteful reggae style from the late sixties early seventies sound. I used to go to a reggae night back in the day back in the states and watch this band do covers. There version of ¨Hey Joe¨ kicked ass, and the lead singer could also play a soprano and an alto sax at the same time. quite a feat. What I love about this is the bass work is awesome. The first part of the phrase is traditional reggae and you end the second part of the phrase with scalar jazz, brilliant composition. I did not realize you released a tune with the word Dread in it as I put out an ambient tune called Dread, But ever since Halloween we have been on a mental simpatico that is a bit spooky. My song was about the dread people might be feeling after the US election. Your dread song is much more uplifting and musically equates some hope. Congrats on another great piece of work Dave.

loving this beat dude

Very chill. Nice work.
