Great to hear the real deal on LM!

hi Scott, I enjoyed this nice track. really interesting use of the mellotron machine which can quite good imitate some orchestral strings effects here. it sounds very nice with the voice (1:08). Vocals have also some interesting reverb added and that works perfectly with all these mellow sounds from 2:37. really nicely done. Greetings,
Alex

Yes! Really liked this track, Scott. Great drum work, of course. I assume that was all done on your Alesis set? I really liked the Duane Eddy type guitar. Didn't sound like a VST at all. You did a great job on that one. The mellotron pad part had some glissandos that sounded very George Harrison. Loved that treatment. Yes, vocals were a bit dry, so perhaps some reverb would be good. Or, in the alternative, make them more more intimate in the mix. Not sure how to do that with effects, though. Might have needed a different mic arrangement and different vocal delivery. Anyway, I'd experiment. Who did the vocals, by the way? Very nice. An excellent departure from jazz and funk. Always good to get off the beaten path periodically.

Hey Eric,

Glad you like it. That Duane Eddy guitar is actually the M-tron. I took it down an octave. The vocals were an unknown pella I found some time ago. I collect stuff for future use and I can never remember where I get them.

Glissandos...I haven't heard that term since my college days!

Cheers,
Scott

Absolute unique track Scott!

Instant fav from the first second...like everything in the track...the 'crazy' drum rhythm from 0.37, the low toned guitar like from a Tarantino soundtrack, the cinematic felt synth voice and play and I really like that Lady's voice (a bit more reverb on it?)
James Bond soundtrack song...that's what flashed in...

Huge respect and thankx for this delicacy :-)

Danke

ScottB55 replied 24th Sep 2014 - 12 years ago
Thanks allot, Danke. So glad you like it and downloaded it.

The drum rhythm is my Alesis drum kit using it with a double pedal. Most of my career I only use one kick drum pedal, and about 2 years ago started using a double pedal. The low toned guitar is actually a Mellotron VST using the guitar setting and lowering it an octave. I think you're right, a little reverb on the vocals wouldn't hurt.

Again, thanks and hope you enjoy it in the future.

Cheers,
Scott

this main riff has definitely a latin feel. Great funk interlude starting from 1:53 - very nice theme-transformation!
many interesting turnarounds and reprise. Simply great!

Scott you nailed it bro.
Its loaded with all the classic sounds and its got the spy vibe down to a "T". Its a perfect theme for a cartoon or one of those spoof spy movies where the main characters are animals. I like how you changed it up with the various sections.
Very clever and expertly done. I really enjoyed this.

Quincy Jones and the boys, with a bit of Jethro Tull thrown in with the Flute...
Jones didn't write them all but I'm sure he was one of the leaders in that
style...Done for TV. Cop show...Way back in the day...

Outstandingly done....

LOL! of course the feel at the beginning is so James Bond! nice! and the breathy flute is a great choice. honestly can't pin flute to a movie but is VERY genre. you are hiting it! also the brass writing - this is very American TV in the '60s and '70s (hawaii five-o, etc.) nice work! all the best!

Thanks, MS. Yeah, everything you mentioned is pretty much what I was going for. I was also going for something that sounded like you'd heard it before, but with it being a totally original track. (Does that make sense?)

Much appreciated!

Nice description, knew(almost) what to expect. :)

Great production, as usual, and a nice composition. I love this kind of music, really brings you back to a simpler time. Excellent job!

Thanks allot, Wayne. Glad you like it. Yeah, I'm kinda stuck in the past. The music back than was so pure and real.

I have another oldie in the works that's a real toughie. It's 'Fantasy' by Earth, Wind & Fire. I have over 20 tracks, so far and plan to add more.

Yep, I recognize that guitar riff but i like the way you mixed this, with the organ and all. a professional mix, listing to the panning, nothing is jumbled and clashing with each other. nicely done!

Nice one. BTW do you happen to know if these used to be called icecream progressions?

Hey VS,

Thanks for your comment.

I'd never heard of 'icecream progressions' but I googled it and I believe this track would fall in that category. Thanks for teaching me something.

Got that "House of the rising sun" Guitar line plus a few others...
Second Sax was a bit outside harmonically, but worked...

All in all, cool track....

Thanks allot, TG. Ya know, I debated about second sax, but decided to keep it. These were some loops I had. I couldn't find anything that worked perfectly, but these seemed close enough for jazz!

Very nice work on this one Scott. The only thing this one is missing is a good set of vocals. I agree with you, this really does sound like its a song from back in the day. I really liked the jazz feel you put on this later in the track, that really caught my attention.

Overall great work, as usual!

Hi Modnex,

Thanks for your kind words. You are right...I'd love to have some vocals on this and many other tracks of mine, but I put out the request, but to no avail. Do you sing? My collaborators and I would love to have you aboard, if you do.

Cheers,
Scott
