Amazing -- I really appreciate how tight the arrangement is. It's no small thing to manage 24 tracks, keep it tight and coherent. This all blends very well. It's a lot of fun!
Nothing but crazy amounts of respect for you man. Alright, maybe a teensy bit of jealousy too. I can't imagine being able to play the saxophone so well (the key change... how did you manage to keep such a high note so steady? Absolutely incredible), let alone improv something so magnificent.
Wonderfully done!
its taking me to the heights in heaven, man its totally
MAGIC.
You are my favourite musician and you have shown many times,
here Barry is also feeling proud,
we all proud of you.
Thanks Slap for sharing such a Cool and Peacefull music.
Regards
Rashid
You don't need me to tell ya this..but this track rocks! Well done. Your talent impresses me so much. Vocals sound great as does the drums, horns...and everything else this track has to offer.
wonderfully balanced, beautifully executed, and fantastic lyrics. this is precise, enticing and professional. i can only ask that you continue to post!
hi theonetruebrew, I have another 3 tracks from the Global Ska Network to complete the 10 track album. Hopefully I will find the time to complete this task soon.
thanks for your supportive words...
*****THIS IS SLAP JOHNSON*****
OooPPssS!! for checking a Master Piece late.
Unfortunately i dont know about the Ska, But for me its simply a magical effort.
i can imagine a real magician is sitting back relax and forming this kind of precious Master Pieces with his knowledge and expertise.
i really love this kind of Juicy and Groovy Songs and this one has become one of the top Favourite in All.
Love ya man!
Many Kisses with respect.

As you can tell slap, I must really, really love this track. I can't get the melody out of my head. I forgot to mention the first time around that I loved your guitar & bass work also. drums and percussion is off the hook! Man, just a stellar track slap, peace. D
Smashing Good Slap. I have been gone for awhile but it is nice to hear some of the looper legends again. Sound quality is pro as usual, your sax work is damn tasty as is the whole track. Very nice work.
Nice! Sound quality is excellent! There is alot going on in this track, I love it. Sounds very top notch!I love that you play live instruments! not to many people do it and do it well. I'd have to say that you are one of them that do it and do it well. This is why you are a superstar here on Looperman.I will have to check out some more of your work!
Hi CIR, I've been working on those instruments for some years now, and still practise as much as I can to develop my techniques... I'm glad your digging th GSN, I will drop by your page real soon to listen to your work...
I say again, what can't you do slap? The track is smokin!! Yeah, it does drift into the pop vain a bit, but it's very nice and your vocals shine on the track. Also the great thing is you can still detect the ska undertones, niccceee! And man do I love your horn arrangements on this track, (I'm a horn junkie to the bone) simply awesome!! Faved no doubt, I haven't forgotten you slap, still working on the track. What I'm trying to do is a old school "jazz fusion" track. (I only hope I can pull this off) I tapped "Bill" to see if he would be interested in laying some guitar and he said he's game. Just need to find a good keyboard player and it's all good. Loved the track slap great job, cheers. D
REal nice sound Slap as usual..i like this style alot..unusual..beats sounds put together in a great way...
feel the funk the SKA...the groove...I feel it...
Got me dancin here in my chair...GREAT..keep them comin..
Peace Dvibe ex sax player...had to put that in....lol
Man...how cool is this! I hope when you perform this gear your wearing one of those cool pork pie hats....and a tight black suit!...super rhythm construction,no one can do it like you...plus when you take a solo the whole track shimmies and shakes...Hell man I've seen a lot of bands in this country try and add a Horn section and get that "Cookin' sound"..none of them comes up to the top of your socks...Bloody marvellous work..and then you add in your superb post production skills...this all adds up to Sonic Mastery...cheers Dave :)
what more can i say other than.....you have 81 tracks. which is a great thing, but i just can't review all. this is by far my favorite though. you really have a lot of talent with brass....much respect,youre a great musician. i like how you always have an undertone of ska in everything though. its adds a much needed flavor to songs that you never thought it would work with. keep up the good work!
(and as im noticing around here a lot)
*cheers slap*
Oh WoW Man! What A desciption! Im Glad you enjoyed yourself enough to make this wonderfully viberant song. It is so Full of sound! I just got done talking with a friend the other day about the Energy you get from going to a Concert and how "Strange it is. But..lol I would have never thought how it could've ended up being like this. lol. I could tell you some storys my friend...Lol I really got the feeling that this was live.
Hi Lato, I've noticed your back! I haven't listened to any of your stuff in ages, so as soon as I finish this I'm off to get some ear candy..
Thanks for liking what I'm up to. There's loads of stuff on this site that I normally wouldn't listen to if it was on the radio or something, but! I do admire talent and effort and let's not forget the passion everyone shows in Looperworld... Now that I can't ignore, and if anything listening to these styles gives inspiration.
Superb!
Another Block Buster,
i feel proud and honour when i comment on your work, you are simply the best.
i really like this one very much.
Peace
Rashid
It never ceases to amaze me that your doing all this by yourself!..I mean these Ska bands all had a minimum of six people in them and here you are pushing the bar by your lonesome...unreal stuff man!..not to put Mike Oldfield of "Tubular Bells" fame down..but his work was very repetitious and mundane compared to what you produce...you don't play music so much as you are music, or the closest incarnation of it...your going to need a press secretary soon..I'd apply for the job but I ain't pretty enough!...cheers mate ;)
Hi Planet, I could seriously do with a press secretary. I do the music, while somebody just cracks on with the whole promotion side. That is my idea of heaven I must admit. Having a team of people working to promote and organise press,shows,airtime,promos ect...Dream on!!! Anyway I got your track through today and it's super. I will get the soprano on it asap....
This song rocks hard. ive never heard of ska as a genre before but i like it alot. I'm gonna have to check out more tunes. Ive always loved horns and electric guitars together. underused in the popular music world
I don't have anything in the way of constructive criticism. Just wanted to drop in and say I love this track. The harmonica and flute in the middle breakdown made my day. Thanks for posting.
