Great description of the track, I totally agree. I feel like I just went to Vegas and saw a cabaret show. Damn this is pretty creative and so much fun to listen to. Great job on the mix, lots going on and everything sounds nice and clear. Excellent job Scott!
Thanks allot, Wayne. Glad you like it and took the time to comment. Also, thanks for letting me know your opinion on the sound quality. We can't always know how it sounds on your system till you let us know.
Scott excuse me for this qustion , buT how should I recognize gospel music ( good to know so these are called gospel..thnX ) from these southern sound ?
Please don't recognize this as gospel music. I don't want to give you the wrong impression. It is more a musical style, rather than a sacred music form. it is in no way intended as music to worship God!
hey Scott . glad to find a new brilianT of yours @ 2014 .
man , what was this ! my hypothetical god ! how many hours U have thaught to design such a complicated notation ! I was convinced that I have no musical tallent when it finished!
my fav traX between all traX I've heared from U & my fav between all fav @ 2014 . superb . by the way happy new year .& as usual best wishes.___Behnam
I'm not quite sure how to answer your question, since our worlds are so different. I don't really want to get into our individual theologies, since I'm sure we cannot agree, but I'm sure we both believe in God. In our country, gospel takes on many styles. In this track I wasn't actually trying to present an actual 'gospel' but more of a style of music that is reminiscent in a gospel sound. It's very hard to explain, but the southern Baptist and the African American churches have an up-beat style of gospel music.

It may not get you into heaven Scott...but if it doesn`t none of us are going there....great big hand-clapping fun...I can see the scene in my mind listening to this...and enjoying myself big time....halelujah.....oh yeah.....Ed
LOL...I agree, Ed. I had fun with this one. It lent itself to lot-o-drums, which, by now, you probably know I love! I may even try another of this style in the future.
FANTASTIC .... An event here.
You hit a big blows for the start of this year, and take this opportunity to wish you my best wishes for success .... for new year.

You deployed here, all your energy, and a great imagination ....
Respect for this great musical moment.
Bass line and tone is fantastic, as well as the guitars. This is like Prog Gospel. Drums are very Portnoy. Snare sound is a bit muffled sounding. If Liquid Tension Experiment did a gospel it would be close to this. Love the ending. Very nice.
Hey, thanks allot, Evan. That's a good description for it, Prog Gospel! Thanks for the Mike Portnoy reference. Quite high praise. He's one of the greatest. Yeah, the snare could be stronger, but it was already peaking at this level, so didn't want to push it to overdrive.
Work of a real musician - the details are so crazy. Real uplifting funny bluesbrother - good job, not my music, but makes me smile (and i dont smile that often if u watch my avatar, hehe). That transition around 3:20 is great built up. And the mix is real outstanding!
Glad I could bring a smile to you. Actually, it's not really my style either. I'm more of a jazz and funk guy, but my training in music is quite genre extensive, that sometimes earlier training just kinda makes it's way into something I'm working on, so I just go for it.
Feelgood song with that pro bass line from the first row...Man, it is smiling and smiling and smiling...so happy and of course dangerously super technically...hahh...no words, I'm looking for but don't find the proper one...outstanding...thanx for the upload Scott, Danke
So glad you like it and took time to comment. I appreciate you mentioning the mix. Allot of times it will sound very different on others system, so it's good to know the mix is good.
I agree with static it has that blues brothers sound to it all day lol. I haven't herd a lot of tracks like this on looperman always nice to switch things up and listen to some new stuff. very good job.
Well this is a crazy bit of gospel-jazz Blues Brothers madness that would go nicely in that film. Extremely energetic and good for some silly dancing and for soundtracking some farce scenes.
They're mostly not my kind of sounds but I totally appreciate all the work that's gone into it. Also, very impressive for one guy doing it all(just you, right?) as it has a lot of very natural, unsequenced feel.
Actually, this is so damn energetic that it's probably too long (haha, that's coming from a guy who makes 18 minute tracks) so this is definitely one to completely tire people out on the dancefloor.
When are you going to do some more spaghetti Western?
Thanks, SN. I appreciate your listen and comment. I did use some loops with this one, so not all me. To be honest, when I do a track I don't usually have a particular genre in mind. I'll get about half of it done, than it begins to take direction of where it's going. Than when I determine what it's sounding like, I further that direction. This one started sounding like a gospel holy roller type sound, so I said, 'who am I to argue' than took it there! Even when I work with Franco, Ferryterry, I'll hear something he didn't and take it the way I hear it, and it usually works out to both our liking...but I digress.
If fate takes me towards another spaghetti western track, I'll do another...Who knows.
Glad you tracked this one down. Always look forward to your comments of my tracks. Yep, love my oldies and since they don't make new oldies anymore, I have to create them myself!
And wishing you a prosperous and melodic New Year as well!
This is so cool, absolutely love the funky vibe you have here. Great bass, sweet guitar, LOVE the LALALA's!!!! Some nice musicianship and song construction, all the instruments get their moment in the sunshine in some way. Great horn tracks, you play?
Thanks allot, Wayne. I really appreciate your kind words. Unfortunately, I can't find much of todays music that I like enough to put in my collection, so I love creating music that sounds like it is not from the last few decades. I guess you know your getting old when you say, 'today's music just aint what it use to be!'
what do i think.em well i love it my friend. really nice vibe and the vocals really compliment the style with all those drum roll offs just adding depth and character. nice
Thanks allot, Cosmic. Glad you like my track. I don't think I've heard from you before, so I appreciate you chiming in and hitting me up with your kind words.
Well....you up an went funky on us in the very best of ways Scott...Haha...this is great stuff man...just the kind of uplifting listening that gets a smile going & the parts moving...70s were absolutely great funk years...although I would have to confess I hadn`t heard it until James E Brown (The Godfather) hit the airways...& how could you not love what was going on....I a big B3 organ fan since Green Onion days (yeah I`m that old)..haha...super job on this one Scott....Best of the season to you...Ed
Hey, Ed, always a pleasure to hear from you and reading your kind words. Yeah, I think the majority of my music collection is made up of the 70's. Don't feel bad...Green Onion and other Booker T and the MGs songs are sitting proudly in my collection, and who, of our age, doesn't like The Godfather!
Super cool track here! I'm loving the wah guitars very much, and I can't get enough vintage organ, so this does it for me! Definitely an uplifting vibe! I think it would be funny to fill out the lyrics tab with "La la la la" or something like that... he he... Each part of the song has it's own vibe, which I like. Very good mixing on this one too, it sounds pretty vintage! Sweet track!
Thanks, Spivkurl. That is exactly what I was going for. I love that old 60's and 70's sound and instruments. I will be doing much more of this stuff in the future, in between the Latin/jazz stuff I do with Franco.
I took your suggestion about adding the la la's to the lyrics tab...Thanks!
You are right, Danke. I didn't notice the similarity to the Status Quo song, but now that you mention it, it does have that same sound. I guess it's a tremolo sound? You would know better, but it was that 60's sound that was used allot back than. I love the fact that I can create old music, today. I'm so glad you and a few others here feel the same way. I think if an actual band did this, they would find they could make some good bucks!
