This is outstanding musicianship right here...I hope that I don't say any bad when I said that guitar play is like Gary Moore (r.i.p.)...
That bass tune is coming straight from the 60's, 70's...great, great, great!!!
Your drum is the same...old :-) but full of feeling and technicality...
Scott!!!
When I think about blues I will always show to my band this song and say: listen this guys, that's what I'm talking about...:-)
HUGE RESPECT FOR EVERYBODY WHO TOOK PART IN THIS!!!
Wow, Danke...Such praise that I'm not sure I deserve, but thank you very much.
I know it's kinda dated for today's kids, but I make music that I like in styles I grew up with, and when someone like yourself can appreciate it, it's quite fulfilling.
That Guitar and that Sax this tune is sooo Saxxy! ;-)
great work. love the acoustic guitar chord structures as well. but that blues guitar is downright killer.
so cool!

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.
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!
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...
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.
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!
Alex
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...
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?)
Memories .... memories. All the ingredients are here to give nostalgia .... A highly sophisticated track you've designed, with the sounds of a bygone era. It's really excellent. Glad to hear you again ....
Feel cool just listening to it. Very good sounding sax. Excellent transitions as it progresses. Guitar is prominent in the mix and sits effortlessly. Top production, peace
Thanks allot, Gramo. To be honest, I didn't think too many people would like this one, but so far, it's the most downloaded and commented on. Guess you can never tell what people will like.
Wow...Thanks, I think! I guess that's a compliment. Glad you like the into and outro. Check out Django's Revenge on my list of tracks. It has that same sort of old sound to it.
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!
only needs some vinyl noise and I feel we are in the 60`s and of course we got internet! anyway really nice timemachine you got here! Thank you for the nice trip! Cheers!
Real nice work !!..you can hear some 50's Doo Wop Style..and some country when the guitar kicks in......luv the sax work..
you nailed it bro.. keep em coming

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.

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.
