Hi. This is a fine track.

I won't go into my customary detail as I remember you not answering some of my previous track reviews. So I'll keep it relatively short, with the assumption that I'll be wasting my time taking the time to say much more.

Lovely chilled intro and those drums are perfect when they kick in. Good snare. Not a tone I've used before.

1:22 awesome little drum fill.

And the track just keeps going with all sorts of excellence going on. True fusion and very much my kind of thing so big congrats from me (and many others).

Best track I've heard from you (also a fine mix) and very much related to what I do.

Hey there my friend..Detlef this is so very cooool man!..laid back and so smooooth!..lots of very subtle nuances,the groove ebbs and flows and the drift into a very dreamy sequence is marvellous and almost unnoticeable until the green grass of Zappoland is way over your head!....super relaxing yet stimulating at the same time...exotic,sensual and Zappified to the nth degree...superb man! cheers Dave :)

Zappo,
I'm not sure what the Barmaid did to you but what you did to this piece is the kewlest. Love it's laid back adventurous feel. Wonderful tuneage..

Mr. P

Simply great vibe...cool and relaxing with tasteful production

Compliments______Orlando

hi, I love that particular soothing tone on the keys. Your playing is really smooth and soft - excellent funky guitars! This is some beautifully arranged and performed composition - probably one of the best tracks from all what I've heard last time on this site.
Very relaxing and calming vibes, impressive keyboard and guitar playing. Alex

Relaxing őrofessional lounge/fusion...

Easily could be a live band playing in a bar late night when everybody tired a bit and just wanna fly away with some chill...

Top track!!!

Danke

excellent
great mood

Ooh, I love this sound.
Good to just sit back and relax to this one :D

Hey Detlef...great to hear you back on the instruments mate!!!..an introspective piece full of light,like the sun coming out from behind a cloud..I love listening to you play guitar,there are so many influences there,but they cannot hide the fully formed multi instrumental beast that is MrBongartz...fantastic composition,very wistful but full of new beginnings,the vocals were a nice touch as well....so glad you are back brother!.. cheers Dave :)

Hey friend

So long since been on the loop, had to come and check out some of your craziness lol, sorry been away so long, but had reasons re link on one of my latest tracks, been on Dave's profile listening to some of your colabs, you 2 team up well together, notice you have this piece under Fusion, to me its sounds very much like a sweet house track, like always great clarity and arrangement with your piece mate...really digging the sweet relaxing groove to this one...Fav'd...Looking for to see more of your tunes over next few weeks now that I am back on the loop...Peace n Respect mate...Hope all has been okies with you my friend...Mosaic...

Smooth track... love the quitar keep up!

Really enjoyed this track. Keep up the good work.

Cheers,
Scott

So, a bit more detail - as promised.

Gentle ringing chords and cymbal work to set the scene.

Then introduce some bass guitar. Maybe those guitar chords get a little boring but it all sits fine.

Good solid drums but I'm having trouble hearing the kick. A more solid/louder one would be good.

Lead guitar is pleasant and this is all smooth stuff. I guess this has a bit of a jazz prog rock vibe to it. I'm up to 4 mins now and those guitar chords are still there so I they've probably been there too long.

Either remove them by this point or maybe add some other FX to them or try playing them on a different guitar.

5:42 we drop down into some gentle, groovy stuff. Bass guitar has a good tone there.

Percussions makes me think of water. Would soundtrack a river scene in the heart of the jungle very well.

Tell me how you're doing your drums and percussion. Percussion loops, perhaps?

On second listen, I'm now thinking I don't like this as much as the first time. I'm noticing its meandering, wandering nature a lot more and it's maybe all a little too laid back to maintain real interest and excitement for me. But could be some very effective sountrack work.

well done.

Great stuff, man!

We have some things in common, I think. Like very long tracks!

I will give this a much more detailed review tomorrow. But it will be a good one, don't worry about that.

Great, lazy and also kind of funky, chilled melodic faroutness that appeals to my sense of melody and space and preferred tempo.

I don't see many people on here (apart from myself, obviously) with lengthy, deep far out stuff like this.

More tomorrow...

Hi Zappo!

I'm very happy to know your artwork in this song...this is fabulous, professional and moody...your guitar usage is hyper pro...those feelings what you put in your play is naturally borned and could never learn...huge respect that you play like this...your music is classical already in it's life:-)

Thanx for the upload, Danke

pretty smooth, i like it :)

This is a fabulous jazz piece! I really love the tone of all the instruments! Those vocals are something special too! I used to watch quite a few old movies, but I don't know if I've seen many of the ones you speak of. You done a great job with your hats off to a fine actor! That solo around 2:45 is just amazing! A very stylish composition, you've done it again! Faved for sure!

Hey funky human....great keys mate,a superb journey through Zappo space on your musical starship,very cool lead guitar,you could easily concentrate on that instrument alone and be Detlef the guitarist..but why would you as you are a multi instrumentalist supremo! .......Superb,tres vunderbar! (lol) cheers Dave :)

You my friend are the master of fusion! Just the right amount of ambiance, with lots of soul! Really jammin guitar and sitar duo! Fun bass line too! Dark ending which haunts me! Very good tune! Faved for sure!

I love this man!!!!!!!!!...After listening to this music I traveled back in time with a ghetto blaster loaded with "I Make My Day" and hunted down Lester Young..I grabbed him and said listen to this man,groove to it..get into it,stop drinking and LISTEN....he looked at me and smiled,his brain engaged 5th gear and he got new inspiration and played like he did when he was young and at his peak!.....next time you write something like this send it to me please as I'd like to play the bass part! lol....you inspire me my friend!

Dave :)

Wonderful Song! Your Music has Great Touch :) I can not appreciate it enough. A joy to listen to. Excellent!

This is very pretty to listen to. The melancholy saxophone got my attention at the beginning. Then the groovy bass lines and velvet 'E' textures entertained my ears. Nice arrangement and a joy to listen to. Great Job!

Good job the bass is awesome, this is not really my kind of music but could make me like it now

Great Zappo.
Love this deep bass sound: simple riff but very effective.
The drum sound change around 2:15 "opens up" the song a lot. Well done!
How not to love your work? Respect man!
