you're right, it's a great composition, but it's not by me, it's a track by fellow looperman member Devodale ... I only added the guitars ... ;-)
anyway: thank you buddy!!!
Ahhhh.... distinctively Rei! Just had to click on this and give a listen! Fantastic guitars ....I expect no less! Nice criusing tune. I picture motion. Luv it. Faved.
Dale!!! great to hear from you again, how's your show going??
I listen to "Silent Getaway" very often and I still love this track ... maybe you have another track in your shelf of that you think I could add something??
would be great I think ... ;-)
thx a lot for your review!!!
Show me that beach where you got this funk from. This is awesome, just a funky mess of Funk. Your funkiness is what my ear hole has been waiting for. May the funk be with you.. Damn this is awesome.
Oh wow! superb production! I love the haunting synths, the call-and-response guitars and the lyrics just take it to another level. I am a poet who is learning to make music (took up guitar playing in 2003)and have produced a few tracks of my own, some are still work in progress. I feel I am in great company here. maybe we could do a collab soon. this track should definitely be in your CD! much respect!
rei, loved your sound the first day I joined Looperman. you could have fooled me because the jazz piano here is cool (the single note melody works perfectly, I think it was meant to be) and the guitars! breathtaking! it's a tight track my brother. I am a fan!
hello rei welll this was a review long over due becasue when i frist got on the site i used ur rei guitar loops to make a pretty intresting track,if u want here it give ur email address and i'll sent it to u asap.
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...
thx man for grabbing out this old track of mine, didn't listen to it myself for a while ...
and many more thx for this great review!!!
unfortunately I'm a little too busy for a collab atm, we started the recording sessions for our second album ...
but who knows, maybe in spring??
peace, rei
I,ve had this as a fave for quite some time,but I just realized I didn't review it! This is simply amazing.Just about everything I like in music wrapped up in this one song!I did a search for rock and roll guitar loops last year and thats how I found Looperman,I believe one of your loops was the first loop I downloaded.So thanx for all the great music!!
dark, moody and expressive. lovin the collage of genres in this. it sounds like it was made just for the vocals. awesome...just awesome. all around awesome.
first thing that comes to mind: inter city travel at 11pm in a 89 lincoln continental. sounds like it belongs in a movie or tv show. its the kind of music that plays when the antagonists are going to do their bank robbery or to meet up with their out of state connections. im glad you decided to use all your guitar takes, if you didnt i dont think it would sound the same. so damn good. really pro composition and mixing. pure quality.
thank you!!!
though it is pretty relaxed music it has some tension, so I can imagine it in a gangster movie too ...
great that you liked it!
peace, rei
If someone had said who's track is this, based on pure listen only, then to my ears it's Rei's for sure. This is you at your vintage best; none of the instruments stand alone in the mix as you have blended them all in an unimposing way (wish I could get band members like this !!) and once again your production follows the same principle as the playing. Bringing in progressive changes as the track moves on. Simply superb and straight to favorites.
Again, you prove that you're a master. It sounds like you had some fun recording and the groove addictive. I really like those harmonies towards the end. You have your own sound and frankly; you have your own leage too.
Cheers

hi, and thx a lot for taking the time for a close listen!!
well, you're right, there are no chord changes in this track .... that's part of my personal style, I like to keep it very simple with the chords, instead of making changes I love to build up a track with many different parts and melodies ... sometimes though I write tracks with a more complex chord structure, it depends on my mood I guess ....
Your so talented in production, but the guitar is truly an extension of your body. A seamless fusion of arm, to hand, to fingers, to strings with both hands. A Zen or Tao kind of thing.
Jimi was like that. It's your "voice." I can understand what you're saying with the guitar, too. But it's with "words" that don't work with spoken language - they're emotional aggregates. Like complex symbols or metamorphic rock. Many things contained in a small space.
You amaze me with every song.
I've been thinking about Funk and the Blues a lot lately, and decided they are each one hand of the same body. Two sides of the same coin. With this one, I think it's more like one hand washing the other. Or a coin standing on edge, showing that there are really more than 2 sides. Blues expressions and statements blending with the unbridled happiness of Funk.
well, I see it pretty similar: good funk music should be based on the blues ... and both genres benefit if you transport elements from one into the other ...
concerning my guitar playing: it took me a lot of time to be able to play without thinking what to play ... hard work!! some really gifted players have enough talent to play that way, I had to work for it ... but in the end it doesn't matter ... lol
thx a lot for your review Shane ... I'm always honoured if you take the time to write one!!!
