Really love the intro at the start, it kicks off the song well. You've really got me hooked on Ska now, everything about it is great, very upbeat and happy. Your playing is perfect as always and the singing is great too.
Great work as always Slap.

Hey Slap, well since I ve been away for a while I did nt realize that you had been doing some Ska. This is excellent. Its has all the elements. Sax, Harp and flute solos what a joy. Better than Alka seltzer for my hangover cure. As usual top class. Hope all is well with you and Alex. Mik

Ohh..this is produced so well!....Man I didn't know you could get so many flavours in one dish..tremendous tune!.the little toots of baritone are the icing on the cake..there is so much space for the track to unwind,the definition is superb..I think from a production standpoint this is way up there with your best work..great bass playing and the way you've mixed up the vocals works brilliantly....people are going to listen to this and think Wow, those guys are way good..when they find out it's one dude on his creative lonesome their going to fall over....dis is de best mon!..cheers Dave :)

Bringing back the the true essence of the early Jamaican Ska! Hopefully it won't be Them a loot them a shoot kind of result though. Awesome track! Love everything about it. I even caught some of those nice funky breaks. It lights a fire in my heart and soul. Its time now to get up stand up, and stand up fee we rights.

Right on Slap! Right On!!!

Hi Toddj, Ska is awesome! I grew up on the stuff, at one point it's all I listened too. I have decided to stay in this genre from now on and see what happens. Thanks for your positive words...

Cheers Slap...

Hey Slap Man, smokin' ska track and great social commentary. It's funny you should mention The Specials "Ghost Town" track. I remember stateting to you the last time I e-mailed you that, that was one of my all time favorite classic ska tracks. Working on a track now that I would love to have you blow your horn on.
As always, great music Slap; Peace. D

Great vocals Slap, a lot of feeling behind the lyrics too, very upbeat and funky. Drums are great, and as always the horns are fannnnnntastic.
Great job Slap.

Peace,

Hi Helix, I'm glad you like the vocals (I don't class myself as a singer). This credit crunch thing needs to go away. It hasn't effected me as such, but the people it has I really feel for. I hope things are cool for you down in Wales...

Cheers Slap...

This is a great lively tune! Entertaining from start to finish! I especially liked the sax/flute/sax/flute between 2:00 and 2:30-and the percusson and drums were off the hook!! Vocals and lyrics very well done. I enjoyed this one!! Fila

I love this Slap, it's a masterpiece. Everything sounds perfect, I love the Solos at the 2 minute mark. Vox sound great, guitar is fantastic. I really like this one, brilliant work.

Peace,

Hi Helix, I put sometime in on this one, I can tell you. I was a little worried people would think it was a bit to pop rather than Ska, but so far the reviews have been positive. Thank you!

Cheers Slap...

great vocal accompaniement to this, a lot diffrent to almost anything iv'e heard before! the beat is really original, nice time signature, and a sweet horn line! really good track!
SLAPJOHNSON
SLAPJOHNSON replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Hi lorin, thanks for the comment on the vocal (sometime the singing get's bypassed). The horns on these tracks are huge, Ive pulled everything out! 2 alto,2 tenor,1 baritone, 2 flute, 1 clarinet & 1 soprano. Time signature is 4/4, but it's a funk kit I've used and there's some great rhythm playing going down... Thanks for the kind words..

Cheers Slap...

Loving that horn line, very nice work mate. Would you allow me to make a remix with those horns? If not, no worries. But I had to ask on this one. : )

Cool stuff anyway, nice to see someone just doing what they love, it's infectious.
SLAPJOHNSON
SLAPJOHNSON replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Hi End, do you just want the horn loops? If so, give me a few days to get the RPM 09 out of the way and then I will upload them...

Mon I mon InI know the horns too. I grew up playing alto and tenor sax. In HS learned the brass section from Tuba all the way down to french horn. When I discovered ska and reggae in college and saw bands like The Skatalites and Burning Spear with their unbelievable horn sections..... well I'm jahknow now. :)

good times slap. 5

In the first few seconds, that drum intro is awesome. As per usual, the horns are fantastic, the vox that come in are great. This track has loads of energy and had me tapping my feet all the way through. No critisicm at all with this one, everything is perfect. Great wotk Slap, the king of cool.

Thanks Helix, it's been a while since I've been in this mind set. Ska off beat is a feel, and I remember a room full of people enjoying it's rhythm, I was hoping to capture it's true flavour but I was also trying to make it sound present day. Your encouragement and support is most welcome.

Cheers Slap...
