dude..this is wonderful. Man really enjoyed this. Great work. The piano, bass, brass and scratching really flow together nicely. Add different moods to it but it works.
like the switch up beat. very nice add. Wish it was longer!
Also, I thought at the beginning the piano could go longer solo without the other sounds coming in...cause its really nice and I wanted longer of just the piano with the beat.
Sweet stuff here mate! Fantastic sound
I'm picturing having the top down and cruising to this on the PCH. Good rhythm and the lead is impressive, great collab. Someone get Nintendo on the line! - DF
yea, real funky, I like the way things are panned in this track. This track is tight but I get a spacious kind of feel from it. Like I would stroll into a bar in this could be groovin.
Thanks BMW! Yes, there is a slight sax set in the back right (I think) side with a bit of reverb to it to give it a reprise/call back drama. You can really hear it with headphones on, or speakers up a little. I like to put in a few fills/pads that are little treats for you mind, but your ears might not catch it right off. Thanks for listening!
This has a cool 60's vibe going on, been getting into the organ sounds a little more myself so I was really diggin this! Hope you can find the right vocals for it!
A first for me to review one of your piece's been meaning to get in and checkout your tunes,well here I am and I am loving what I am hearing, this is a great collab, Allen is one of my fav's with the guitar the man rocks big time, this is one very impressive rock piece, this is a track either with or without vocals, it would sound good, have to agree with couple other reviews, it has a very professional sound about it, adding this one to fav's, you can be sure I will be back to check out more after listening to this one, thank you for sharing the talent mate..Peace n Respect...Estefano...
Ahh...some righteous rockin gear!..great stuff! when something starts rolling you know it has to be rockin as well..playing a solid rhythm is so cool,and it doesn't hurt to have a wailing chopmiester on top of it also!..this has all the elements of a great tune..serious guitar chuggin,high head room and pedal to the metal take no prisoners attitude....more please!..(why more of this music isn't still in the charts has me scratching my head...it's so enjoyable!)...cheers Dave :).
Thanks girl! Means a lot coming from you, Pro! =7) When I go back and listen to my stuff, a lot of it seems to be chill like that....leanin' while drivin' kinda feel. Been to the hardcore side of life...don't care too much for it!
...listen closely and it will tell you where to go! I sell my music to production libraries for use in production environments, so they don't follow the same flow or guidelines that mainstream music does. That's why my songs are shorter, and tend to have a rhythym/foundation/pad/lead/fill (all the elements of a REAL, non-minimalistic song) change up throughout, and aren't geared towards the same path that mainstream music takes. It's done...and it's sold! cha ching! Thanks for the review
I think the fact that everything is played live really adds to it, and you haven't heard me sing, so I wouldn't be so quick to condemn yourself for singing poorly, because you sound fine to me.
I like this a lot.
Thanks RIF! I think I feel another Christian session coming on soon! I'm the worship leader at a new church and have yet to sing 1 month into it. :7(
I can BS my way through the guitar...but singing...uuuhhhggg! nErVoUs!
I really love that its got a true hip hop feel to it. Really takes ya back but at the same time its modern. Great job with this. . Excellent stuff, keep on. Loved it!
Hey Thanks John! The original is called "Life of Crime" and it's still in my uploads. I had fun making it, but I've heard it so much that I can hear the original FX every time I play this version.
Thanks Skrib! I listen to this one and wonder why it hadn't been reviewed because I like the chill vibe, and I'm glad you picked up on it! I was ready to delete it! lol
If this was garbage it was nicely rescued and recycled. The warble/scratch spoils it a bit for me. It seems to sit on top of the nice chilled vibe you've got going on here instead of being part of it. Maybe if you dropped it an octave or doubled its length it would fall in better. But this is a small niggle, and this is a great peice. Keep the good tunes rollin fella! ;)
Thx Rez- I'll try it to see how it fits. The scratch was one of the first thing I laid down on this one, but the song has really changed since I first composed it, so maybe its time to rethink it as well.
"throw away track" ...it never was! I think this track's a whole lot better than you think it is. It's such a great vibe. I love it! and as I've said before, it deserves more than 1.09 minutes, even if it's just splicing a loop in. Just as you're getting into a great groove, it's all over :(
Keep up the good work! ;)
Thanks Man! I added another minute or so, and put a guitar and another (ghostly) rhodes piano part in it. I think its done for the most part, but thanks for the support! Shipping it off to the publisher soon.
