Thanks man! Tone is something I'm always trying to improve. But then again, it's just one of many things I'm trying improve!..

Hi Filaofsoul, thank you for your supportive comments on my tracks. I am embarking on the RPM challenge in Feb. This means writing and producing 10 tracks in a month. Now that's refreshing...

Well, browsing the many artists on this site, A live sax section with brass was not something I was expecting! I can tell your a man of perfectionism, and obviously took some time over this song! and the flute solo was awesome! I have to say though, I was waiting for the drums to break into a powerful beat, accompnaied by the horns. But hey, suprise is the name of the game right? You are an upholder of the fundementals of music and dont let anyone else tell you otherwise!

Hi Lorin, thanks for your kind words. Point taken about the drums! I could have seriously built that kit up. Maybe time permitting I will revise the drums...

A great usage of ballad lines and slower tempo. You certainly seem to have a penchant for strong fills at the end of turnarounds and at new sections on beat 1, which shows through well on this. Have you though about changing up the rhythm of the tenor lines (in the way that makes the later choruses of the flute solo so effective), to indicate a bit more tonal movement and energy growth (perhaps a bit less reverb in some higher phrases?) A thoroughly enjoyable listen -- not often to I hear ballads done with this combination of soulful simplicity and energetic give-and-take. Keep it up!

Hi Npk417, the thing I like about your reviews are the understanding/constructive comments. I am a huge ballad fan (playing alot of jazz standards in a band for many years), Yeah I agree with you about the sax line, I suppose I was trying to stay simplistic, but I could have altered the rhythm without losing the flow. I'm still getting to grips with ableton, so the reverb trick I will try and sort for the next track. I will given time stop by your page and listen to your tracks soon.

Talk about a multilayered experience!..Brilliant Steve!..with this track you've bought out your best Bone China and cutlery...What starts out as a gentle march rapidly unfolds into an immersion of musical construction from a master....All your phrases blend and compliment each other so well..this really is a rewarding experience..and not forgetting the inclusion of your namesake instrument..the Vibraslap (sounds like a way kinky sex toy!)...I love this tune...Cheers Dave :)

Hi Dave, well buddy this track is all down to you! You little gift allowed me to get back in the driving seat and start making music again.
Thanks for being a friend and a great human being!

Nice switch in this, some sweet sax work. I think you should work on the drums next tho, get them sounding a little nicer, and a little less rigid.

Did you play all in instruments?
SLAPJOHNSON
SLAPJOHNSON replied Unknown
Yo end!! Yeah I played everythig you hear, apart from the drums which I bought! They are real samples of live kits. I think I should get a refund after your remark lol....

on Can we turn this around;3Style by SLAPJOHNSON
My pod? I'll mind if you don't mention my unmentionables mate...

Hahaha. Sorry about that man, couldn't resist.

Okay, I pressed replay because for some odd reason this is soundin all funky (no pun intended). Yeah, it sounds like it's being played underwater or out of a speaker that's been stomped on. It's kind of distracting.
What bitrate did ya upload this at? Coz I know that when ya drop down to 80 K the stuff starts sounding all jacked up.

Pushing past that I'm lovin her vocals and this track has an Oldies vibe all about it. I could really see this being played on one of those stations. During the mid or late 60's mix (they tend to play around lunchtime). Very groovin dude. Just wished it was playin right so I could get the whole feel for it. Later on!

on Broken promises;Slap Johnson by SLAPJOHNSON
Nice broken rising intro mate. The person singing kinda reminds me of Anne Lennox (but with a bit of Rod Stewart rasp, so I'm not gonna say she when it's a he or what have you). And...

Blow, man, blow!

That was an awesome little side-play yall threw out there. Then receeding back into line of the melody from before. Odd lil random side note- I've found that the best way to avoid breaking promises is to not make 'em at all. Kinda hard to let people down when there are no obligations or expectations.
(returns to couch and goes back to sleep)...
Thanks for sharing. Later on!

im not sure what to say...
i could say that this is one of the best tracks i've heard in a while. professional tracks included. amazing composition and so much soul. loved catch's little section in there props to you MC for that one bro. but man the instruments are played from the heart and it shows. can tell from the way you play and the way you speak about your tracks you got the music in your blood man. cherish that, its a rare gift and you make damn good use of it.

always a fan!

on Total Count by SLAPJOHNSON
This is an interesting combination of such rich horn-section sound and a more dirty harp/slide vibe. I can tell your interest heads both ways, make sure to listen carefully to how you blend them so they don't clash. The bright, polished horns (reminiscent of Motown to a strong degree) have a dominant place in the mix, and this makes it especially difficult for the tonal qualities of that harp to cut through. The same sort of clash occurs at times with the slide guitar part. This song looks toward an interesting marriage of those types of sounds - it's important to do it carefully. Kudos, and keep up the good work!

This is certainly a gem in your lead vocal selections - like Bryan Adams meets Billy Joel. And the tune is a great arrangement and piece of songwriting. Definitely some representative soul in this number! Keep it up! Any chance of this being available for download? I'd enjoy listening to it with my car's audio rig too.
