Really good poppy/chill track. Very catchy and the vox sound great. Can definitel feel that jazz influence coming through the music. Interested to hear the completed project. Good work.

You made a beautiful song. Farish's voice is always beautiful, but your music is really sweet and clear. Beautiful piece that brings me to my memories of Sade.

very nice recording on Farisha's vocal... stunning tune :)

really enjoyed hearing this on here... is it just me, or is there like waaaayyyy too much hip hop, rap and dubstep on looperman. it shows when a song actually sounds new and fresh and fun.

very very cool job!
well done and hat's off to you guys :)

faved for sure

Thanks Minette - I'm glad you like it! On the issue of genres I'm really not very familar with those styles - in fact Dubstep sounds more like a dance!
Cheers, Jamie.

Hi Victor - how are you? I really rate Farisha's voice - a new looperman star!
I caught Mike Stern a few years ago at "Band on the Wall" in Manchester (It's like your 55 Club) and he was great - I also got to meet him and he was a really nice guy! By all means show him our stuff! Thanks for listening and commenting - speak soon!
Cheers, Jamie.

Oooooh. I love this. Comparisions isn't always a good thing, but this reminds me of an Al diMeola song. Anyway, great track. You gave me the smile of the day. XLNT.
jfw
jfw replied Unknown
Although I did'nt consciously write this with him in mind - this reminds me of Al DI Meola too! The reasons are probably because I used my Les Paul to record it and for the hook I used a hungarian scale (which he uses extensively) to imply that eastern sound. Glad you liked it.

Cheers, Jamie.

Elephant guitar, haha, never heard of such a thing till now but I believe I heard it in there, sooo cool Jamie. I'm sure that going to a place like Egypt must be such an inspiration to write some music to. Such a pleasure to listen to this, it put me there, right in the heart of Cairo.

jfw replied Unknown
Thanks for the listen Wayne! The Elephant guitar thing is something Adrian Belew does (as well as emulating various other animals on guitar), most notably on the track "Elephant talk" on the King Crimson album Discipline - thats where it can be heard done properly (lol).
Cheers, Jamie.

Wow, funny I was listening to Shut up n' play your guitar by frank zappa today...nice job on the soloing dude! Reminds me of zappa but also has a electronic/tribal feeling.

this track has some very interesting mirage-like qualities - it has an arid, desert feel even tho every second is full of events - it seems like the gtr parts are 10 feet tall when they really only last under 30 seconds - and i must add the belew 'references' are right on - the riddle of the sands?
Safe journeys, Jamie

Thanks for the listen Michael - I'm glad you liked it! It's no secret that I like the work of guys like Belew/Fripp etc (just look at my avatar) and over the years I have made a study of the way they play. I just couldn't resist playing a little "Elephantosity" on this track - it just seemed to fit!

Cheers, Jamie.

This is quite the beautiful track! Feels like a journey to Egypt to me. I love the synth arpeggios, they really compliment the rhythm! Really nice guitar playing! This is exactly the kind of thing I think of when I think fusion. Very cool rhythms, they're so exotic! Beautiful piece my friend!

Hey Jamie

Mate very nice piece, second of 2 colabs that I have heard today that Dave is involved in and have to say both brilliant piece's, nice pads/synths, totally relaxing piece, I agree about the Nora Jones vocals would fit this one, spot on, nice laid back beat, definiately has a summer feel about, relaxing on a island, or playing in the back ground of a restuarant, brilliant collab, both from very extremely talented dudes, ty for sharing, fav'd...Peace and respect...Estefano...

thanks for this - wonderful - the whole tone scale and how to apply it is still quite a mystery to me so I have a ton of respect for that alone - but also the choice of sounds, etc - really really nice work my friend!!

yeah!!! loved it from the start ...
it's pretty perfect, except one little thing: the bass is too low, I think it could carry the whole track way better if it was mixed a little more upfront ...
other than that: awesome!!!

peace, rei

jfw replied Unknown
Your absolutely right about the bass level, it definately needs pushing up in the mix. Glad you liked it and thanks for the useful suggestion!

Ooooh Yes!
I if mentioned a zappa influence earlier you took it all the way at 33 seconds. An instant fav (and a dl if that would have been an option). This track is so good that great is an understatement. Amazed.
Peace

I can't believe I listened to this, sounded like Hill Street Blues to me, coupled with some lounge music and Mr. Lucky. I was expecting some guitar wailing, a pleasant surprise althugh I like wailing guitars (now I sound like lyrics to Greenback Dollar. It's hell having a mind that free flows from one thought to anoter different one). I like your avatar by the way, it gives soome evil to my vivid dreams..
