on All This Time by ScottB55
Hello, Scott.

This was better than expected! Great vocal character and positive lyrics. I also like the changes, helps to break it up.

The only suggestion I can muster is I felt the vocal panning was too extreme from left to right. Not a big complaint at all. I still really dig this track.

Take care.

Hey Evan,

Thanks allot for chiming in, my friend. Yeah, I used the surround effect on just that ambient vocal track. I didn't (and usually don't) pan the main vocals or bass tracks on my songs. I thought that vocal intro would give it an interesting effect going from one speaker to the other.

Cheers,
Scott

Hello Scott!

Incredible soft-rock with that violin...:-)

Voice, guitar and the groovy are from your best...

When I listened to your track, a Hungarian song flashed in...donno why? probably the same hopeful moments and feelings...:-)

Hello Danke,

How are you, my friend? Thanks so much for hitting me up with your kind words.

This is a bit different for me, so I wasn't too sure how it would go over. I found these vocal loops and they appealed to me, so thought I'd try to work the music around them. I love orchestral music so thought I could also work some in along with a favorite instrument, the mellotron.

Cheers,
Scott

on Psychedelic Funk by ScottB55
hello Scott.

this is some really enjoyable tune, not really a proper 'song' that much for me but just a nice combination of different short instrumental solo sections and that is perfectly fine!

I find the bass line and the keys really inspiring. to me funk styles will always sound modern - they are a true source for a great amount of contemporary music.

I will check out the bands you mentioned, thanks for some nice inspiration.

all the best to you, alex

Wow really nice track. Brings back good memories, and when you said Unfortunately, this music is lost on today's artists. I am a little lost in this since I do not hear music in today's artists.

I think Soundhound and I am on the same page also.

Hey James,

Glad you like it and took time to comment. I agree...I seem to dwell in the past, musically, since I just can't find anything in today's music worth listening to.

Hope things are going well. We have corresponded in awhile.

on Psychedelic Funk by ScottB55
You are right Scott...
This style has gone by the wayside, like Classical... :) the bone yard
is full of good music, that this generation will never understand...
They have dumb down the music playing tools, so the don't have
to think...Just Drag and Drop...They don't need to play anything
anymore, there is really no work involved " No Talent Needed " to
become a Star or so they think...
Back in the day, if you couldn't play it there was no instrument
that would say it for you...
If we had these tools back then, and did things the way we did
Man...The whole game would have been different, it cost me a
small fortune to do the tracks I did back then...

You've done Motown some Justice with this track...
Nice 1...My Man...

Peace...TG.
ScottB55
ScottB55 replied 13th Jun 2015 - 11 years ago
Thanks allot, TG. Your comment of doing justice to Motown means allot! You're right, the kids today just don't get it. Unless you go to an oldies show or listen to an oldies station, you can't hear it. I knew there was something strange when a guy scratching records on stage was considered a musician. In the early days, scratching records was considered noise. Now it's considered music and a turntable is considered an instrument! Oh well.

Cheers,
Scott

But you are playing this music Scott, fortunatelly (o.k. you are not tody's guy...:-)
Sensational groovy based music with your innovative drum...tha bass is more than good...that part from 3.03: the drum, bass duel is outstanding...

You did it again...respect, Danke

ScottB55 replied 13th Jun 2015 - 11 years ago
Yes, I create what I love, so even though I reach back to the past for inspiration, I always hope other fine musicians, like yourself, can still appreciate it. Try as I might, I just can't find inspiration in today's music, unless it's jazz.

Always a pleasure to hear from you, my friend.

on Sandys Beat by ScottB55
I had to look up who Sandy Nelson was, pardon my ignorance but after listening you are correct sir. The drums do indeed have a similar style and are also very cool. I dig songs played using lots of toms. I love good old straight up blues based rock and roll. I want to sit in and jam, ha!

Ever hear of Hoyt Curtin? One thing he was known for doing was tv cartoon themes like Jonny Quest in the 60's. The drums totally rock in his music, you may like his music, figured I would suggest checking him out. Been listening to him a lot lately.

Not sure how ya got Ian Anderson to play some flute but that was a neat choice of instruments. ;) Was it live or a sample? Cool horns, guitar, keys and of course the drums were exceptional. The composition was as great as the execution on the production/playing.

Well done Scott and company!

ScottB55 replied 15th May 2015 - 11 years ago
Hey Wayne,

Thanks for your most pleasant comment. I sure wish we could jam together. Although I do love making music digitally with my friends, I do miss live playing.

Sandy was a big inspiration for me. Not a great drummer, but he played allot of drums in his music, which, as a kid, I really liked. I looked for anything with drum solos. Hell, I literally wore out In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

I checked out Hoyt Curtin and, although I've heard his music for years, I never knew who he was. Really good stuff BTW.

Yeah, Ian and I are pretty tight, so he helps out on occasion. These were samples, unfortunately.

Cheers,
Scott

hi Scott,

indeed the toms from 0:36 reminded pretty much 'Let there be drums' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zC9okWm8A6o (I did a little YT search:) It's an old styled special kind of rock - very bluesy, not something I am listening very often...

Nice flute action and Rhodes coming in at 3:34.

My favourite part is 3:25 - 4:00. It definitely reminds early 70's improvised funky jazz in the manner of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bIk1Wl21Yk

Nice one!

Best greetings, Alex
ScottB55
ScottB55 replied 15th May 2015 - 11 years ago
Hey Alex,

Thanks allot for your comment and the links. I checked them out and have heard 'Let there be drum' many times. His drumming was simple enough, that as a kid, I could play his beats, so it was a good learning exercise. I'm surprised there wasn't more of his stuff on YT. He did many albums.

I hadn't heard that particular Weather Report track, but am quite familiar with them. If memory serves, you do some styles similar to them.

Cheers,
Scott

Super cool!

What an innovative genre is 'rock'...look at yours, Alex's (Promenade) or my track...they all uploaded under rock...:-)

Feeling, groovy, technicality, percussivness (is there an English word like this?)

Bravo Scott, this is outstanding!!!

Funky pleasant track.
Good bass riff.
Guitars are really on spot: probably they are the main-actor here.
Impeccable drum work, as usual ... may I add ;-)

Hello Scott!

Very tasty track to get us moving and headbanging slowly...guitar from 0.18 reminds me Lenny Kravitz...guitar solo from 2.20 is outstanding and the whole track pulsates incredibly...
Live number surely...

hi:)

very quality loops in here - hopefully lm members will be able to perform guitars and synths (and trumpets!) like this some day as well.

Where these loops are from, if I may ask?

Good funky number with nice guitar lines.

Thanks allot, Alex. I appreciate your comment.

Ya know, I have been browsing for loops and samples for years. I get them from friends or on different sites, including this one. When I hear something I can possibly use, I just file it, so I never really know where I get any given file. If you ever hear anything you like and can use, lmk and I'll toss it your way.
