hi Scott, this is a very cool funky compilation. Some loops like the clavinet-one reminded me of some older music. Nice guitar soloing. It is definitely the synth at 1:36 which is reminding me of Herbie Hancock. I enjoyed different bass-lines, even the Moog-styled one from about 3:28. Nice old funk disco. Alex

Ok at first I must say to me it's more funk than Disco, but it is cool. I think I could have play a better guitar part.:-)
Nice job Scott.

Funky disco, Midiman James!

I knew you just did a guitar track for me, so didn't want to bug you too soon. Will hit you up next time.

Cheers,

Nice one Scott! What a blast from the past. I must admit that I was a disco hater back then but I have grown to appreciate it the older I am. The vocals were a great addition, cool ending. Very nice mix, everything has it's own place. Like you mentioned, there is a classic sound mixed with some fresh sounds. Dig the guitar!

Well done!

Hey Wayne,

Many thanks, my friend. You know, I was a disco hater too, when it first emerged. I thought it would hurt us playing musicians, but I joined a 9 piece disco/funk band and I loved it. I remember having to tie my bell bottom cause it kept getting caught in the beater of my kick drum pedal! I still don't have allot of disco in my collection, but smile when I hear it on the oldies stations.

Thanks allot for your kind words.

Cheers,
Scott

Perfect presentation Scott!

Travelling back in time to those great days (loved that kinda era) with magical rememberance...Instrumentation is professional as usual, your drum is hyper live, vocs, speaches and that bass are incredible...as always your team? made an excellent work in your retro song...

Much respect, Danke

Well, I'm not ashamed to admit that have always loved disco! Especially Chic. This is a totally satisfying recreation updating of that genre, Scott. I enjoyed the entire thing. Great horn parts. And, the vocals worked really well, Nice touch with the Youser, Yourser, Yourser quote form Chic at the end. Nile Rogers would be pleased. :) You do good stuff, man!
ScottB55
ScottB55 replied 4th Dec 2014 - 10 years ago
Good for you, Eric. I know disco got a bad rap back in the day, especially from us working musicians, but I got in with a 9 piece band that did all the latest disco and funk tunes of the time and I learned to like the style. Yeah, I remember Chic's song, and I wanted a 'yawza' in there somewhere, so I recorded my voice and dropped the pitch.

Anyway, thanks for chiming in with your kind words.

Cheers,
Scott

I remember the day Scott....yeah...I`m way old....I can`t say I was ever a disco fan at the time...I was in the "If it aint rock n roll it aint nothin" mode at the time....but strangely enough it sounds much better today than it used to and my head has absorbed a much wider variety of beats, time sigs, etc...you do everything well my friend...this and all you do is the proof...very extra cool ending.....right on....Ed
ScottB55
ScottB55 replied 4th Dec 2014 - 10 years ago
No worries, Ed, I'm an old dude, too.

I was right there with you on being a disco hater, but I joined a 9 piece funk/disco band and learned to like it. It was really fun to play and I always love horns in a band. I just got out of the Navy and played allot of marching styles, so I really got into the different style.

Anyway, I appreciate you checking it out and leaving your kind words.

Cheers,
Scott

Ahaa..old school funk, reminds me of this group called Confunction. I like it, but you didn't give the drummer some. Next time ok? Good stuff.
ScottB55
ScottB55 replied 4th Dec 2014 - 10 years ago
Hey MrGene. I do remember Confunction. In fact, played some back in the day.

I did do a short drum solo about 3:20 than a bass and drum solo. Since I'm a drummer, most of my stuff has a drum solo of some kind in them. Check out my page for them.

Thanks allot for chiming in.

Cheers,
Scott

I'm really skeptical about some music that claims to be one thing but really sound like something else.
This piece Scott is really good. It did have me thinking of the 70's and 80's disco and had me doing the diskallovertheroom thing. Very nice indeed.

This piece has many nice elements, and the rhythm guitar is just sensational. The female vocals also add an almost sensual element to a song that was so typical of funk from the 70's and 80's. Nice work!

wow this sounds really good, did you made this all solo?
or are you in a band?
If you did this all by yourself, you are really awesome :D

ScottB55 replied 4th Dec 2014 - 10 years ago
Hey Eighteen,

Glad you like it and thank you for your kind words. The composition is all me, but I use live instruments with other loops and tracks. I use other musician friends when I can, and they are available.

You have a good voice, different strong with a good tone...
The trick to singing, is use what you've got don't go outside your
voice box...If you get my drift....
Had to come back to check it out again...Well Done...

Peace...TG.

Hello Scott!

We all know(I hope) that one of the most difficult thing to make music around the pella.
What I really liked in this song, is your tasteful arrengement...I hear harp, bum-bum retro snare :-) and little things what makes interesting this song without guitar,too...
But I wait that that instrument very much :-)
Congrats and respect for this number and just one more sentence for the sideline: this IS retro too, cause you are this song...:-)

Danke
ScottB55
ScottB55 replied 24th Nov 2014 - 10 years ago
Hi there, Danke!

Always a pleasure to receive your comments and read your kind words. you're right...it is a bit tricky to arrange the music around the vocals, but the challenge is quite enjoyable and a good learning experience.

Yes, I love the harp, so use it when I can get away with it. I also included one of my favorite vintage instruments, the mellotron, in it, so maybe it is retro after all!

Cheers,
Scott

Wow wow wow!
You really have captured the sixties sound here.
I love it and have downloaded it.
This place amazes every time I log in.
This track reminds me of Richard Hawley ...

He puts a lot of time and effort into getting a modern take on fifties sixties sounds.
Fantastic track you've done here.

Thanks, Silverman. Glad you like it.

I still remember your very first dissing comment to me on my 'covers' site when you said I need to 'GET IT TOGETHER.' See, I'm not such a terrible musician after all!

Anyway, 'water under the bridge,' so no heart feelings.
