I always dig your mixes, they are very clean and your choice of panning here makes me think deep about such things. Great guitar and wah effects. There is so much to listen to in your tracks but they never seem crowded. Always a pleasure!
Thanks allot for checking it out. I appreciate your comment about my tracks never seeming crowded. I do realize I put allot of stuff in my tracks and sometime think I may be overdoing it, so it's good to hear I'm not.
Thanks for your comment. I remember the early days of panning when it was more aggressive than today. I like the sound of different instruments mainly coming out of one speaker rather than both. Not sure if it's right or wrong, but it just sounds better to me.
Definitely it is hard to put in one exact genre...but this is bloody good...vocs are pop/rock/hip a bit, guitars,bass are surely funk, the drums are new wave plus some strings from the classical side...awesome track Scott...
Always loved the works from the team but this song is very close to me...I think the mood...
Thank you so much, Danke. So glad you like and took the time to comment. I always love receiving and reading your kind words.
Actually, this track started out as funk, but I found some cool pellas that fit well, and it just started taking on a life of it's own. I actually like it when that happens, because I usually get something out of my comfort zone.
Glad you like my track and took time to comment. Actually, I hadn't noticed the bass sounding like the Seinfeld theme, but you are right! Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I'm not too familiar with Daft Punk, though.
so refreshing to hear this feel! never heard that talk-box effect at the beginning. that is a new sound for me. very slick arrangement and mix. neat solos by different instruments and of course the skatting is classic. When the piano takes a turn at 2:08 it is a perfect moment. fun track!
The talk-box has been around awhile. Most people knew of the talk-box from Peter Frampton's album. I don't know if it's used much in today's music, since, other than jazz, I don't listen to too much new stuff.
This is simply brilliant!
Talkbox is a new colour on your desk...sometimes I had a big-band feeling...I showed to our drummer Lugo, who wanted to play in a big-band in his entire life but he failed this project :-)
He danced a bit with a sad smile on his face...:-)
And thank you for your kind words. Yes, I don't use the talk-box much, if at all. It was fun to give it a try, though.
I do love the big band sound. I played many years with different big bands in my career and loved every minute of it, so whenever I can fit a brass track in my songs, I do it.
Scott, I love that Groove man. Do you have copywrite or any Restrictions to the usage of this track? Not trying to get rich, just trying to use some really Kool stuff for a small project I have. Thanks
what a wonderful bass line!!!
Loved it!
My personal highlight: the intro (the first bars with bass & drum at fulls steam are a real killer!)
Ciao, Domenico
Really glad you like it and took the time to comment. Being a drummer, I have always loved a bass and drum break-down in a good funk or rock song. Glad you do also.
Dude this is seriously good - bit of Little Feat here - fantastic production values - good structure - this should be getting a lot more traction. One quibble - possibly the vocals should come in earlier. Great work.

Hi Scott.
Lovely little piece, very classic and stylish arrangement, some instruments (horns) sound a bit too 'midi' though. Interesting combination with the vocals.
Overall this is really very good stuff to learn from when comes to create a proper instrumentation or simply to play along.
Nice one. I will check it out again if you add the guitars.
Best to you, Alex
Thanks for your ear and comments. I recently got some EastWest Quantam Leap software with some brass VST, so hopefully my brass wont sound as 'midi' as with this track. I also got Kontakt with some nice VSTs, also, so will be checking it out in the future.
Love the fill at2:09, this is oozing with funk and delicious sounds. 2:40 has an awesome late seventies approach to funk. Reminds me of the Boston Band Heavy metal Horns just a bit in this part. Awesome work Scott!
Thanks for sharing this.

I know pretty much bugger all about folk music but this is a nice arrangement of different instruments with lots of great parts and plenty to keep the ears interested. I like the way it progresses and switches to the electric guitar. It's all really well played and sounds nice and crisp. The violins were a nice touch as was the "three four".
Very well done indeed.

Thanks allot, FR. So glad you checked it out and left you complimentary words. This one's a bit different from what I usually do, but always like to try different things.
Thanks allot, EtherBlu. Actually, I'm not much into country, either, but I like some Mountain and Bluegrass styles. You wont hear much like this from me, but thought I'd give it a try.
Thanks allot, James. Yeah, a little country is fine. Was never a huge fan, but I'm mellowing in my old age. I actually made a pretty good living at it back in the day.

Great grooves all around but that section (and the part leading up to it) is glorious.

Anyway, many thanks for your kind words. Glad you like it.
