I like nothing better than a good guitar blitz!...and I mean blitz...this is great!..it's like a giant snowball...nothings going to stop it and it just gets bigger and bigger...nice bass underneath this rampage with some subtle changes and pauses...great ending to! that's really important on a piece like this...a lot of people would have just run out of steam and deflated the whole track...not you....excellent work!..cheers planet
Hey mate...sweet tune!...love the strings...I sort of agree with Rei, it's hanging for a bass line..however I like it the way it is..sometimes when you leave out some instruments in a mix it gives it space and a different dynamic......cool and clear work!...cheers planet
Hey MrHen...Welcome to the Loop...I hear your a student of Slap's.....we can all learn something from the maestro!...great tune mate...the way it phases in and out is great....I'm going to be a regular visitor to your page..this is great quality work!....cheers planet
Cool rocking..being an old rocker this is like coming home for me.....didn't we all grow up on this stuff!,,,great guitar by the way!...Oh yeah mate..you mentioned some more material you had..by all means send it over the ocean into my mailbox and I'll see what I can do...I'm going to have to return the favour soon as I've just got the glimmer of a project in the back of my brain..it's only coalesced into a few bars so far..but we shall see....again great track Steve...it's got me buggered how you can explain to your other half....."Oh sorry Luv..won't be home for tea...got to go practice with the girls."...you must be a magician is all I can say!
Gritty rootsy style you've got going here..I love that old Wurlitzer sound,takes me back....a really interesting mix of instrumental elements combining to make a modern sound over the classic Hip Hop beat...cool! cheers planet
Thanks man. i love the Wurlitzer myself also and thought how i could use it without it contrasting too much with the lead guitars..but i think it goes well with it. Thank you for your review..peace
You know it's funny while this tune would be a great vehicle for vocals...I just love it the way it is..introspective and gentle..great thinking music!....great placement of the piano in the mix,just the right amount of echo......very sultry and summer day cool!.....great touch on this one....cheers planet
Wooow thanks Planet! Your comment has to be in my top ONE of the more encouraging comments...
I like it as it is too, but if someone is in luurv, it would be nice to hear them with this as a backing track.
Thanks for reviewing it.
Cheers S.
Track's like this more than anything else help broaden peoples horizons......this is way,way cool with a groove all it's own...as I do when listening to opera I don't understand the lyrics but that doesn't stop me thoroughly enjoying it...in fact it adds a mysterious element to the mix for me...superb!...cheers planet
What a delightful song.....unencumbered and uncomplicated..lots of space for a great acoustic mesh of guitar and vocals ..elements such as the harp and delay echo are great!...I'm really diggin' this one....beautiful work!....cheers planet
Well it has been said that when your sick of the blues your sick of life......great piece man!...love that tele sound ..it's unique..Junior Brown would approve and he's arguable the best slider and picker going around at the moment...excellent clean tone ..my ears are just soaking it up!...cheers planet
Hi there Planet,
Glad to hear I would be able to please Jr. Brown. I'll never be as good as him though. ;-)
I'll do another Blues tune sometime later on......now I want to see what I can do with a 12 string.
Thanks again for your nice comments.
Randy
Ahh....that patented Rei guitar sound..one of my favourites!..This is very melodical and has a great reflective quality with the mandolin and synth behind your playing......the percussive echoes in this piece are excellent...sets me in mind of an epic tale or journey......this really is a marvellous combination with Devodale........cheers planet
I think a tracks intro is all important to it's integrity..this one was very professional....a great flow into the pads and melodic theme....I love that echoing piano and the fade out is sublime...great work.....if this is rave I've got to listen to more of this genre...cool!...cheers planet
Almost Oasis like in bits..Very interesting sound happening..wow! it's quite amazing I can here influences from the sixties up to the present day and all very British...sounds very hit parade worthy....look out your in the charts with a bullet!...cheers planet...just as an aside...tell everyone of your new tune in the forum area..everyone does it...this should be heard by as many people as possible..it's great! :)
Hi Six....Well I've had an exploratory look around inside the patient sowed him back up and have made my diagnosis...A clear case of Hendririffalex.....nothing to be alarmed about...this is the first case I've seen since the late seventies...the cure is not pleasant though.....700 hours of continual exposure to ABBA...
Seriously the reason why it sounds a bit at odds with itself is simple...just too much lead work over the top of the rhythm structure...it happens with some Hendrix songs to,especially his live work......the effect sound on the guitar at one passage closely resembles the bass and it washes it out..when the bass resurfaces again it sounds great......Sheesh!...a lot of guitarists would love to have this problem..including me!...During the later nineties and up until now the lead guitarist has been slowly but surely relegated to a back row seat in popular music,guys like you are bringing it back upfront were it belongs (thank God!)...so I don't think there's any problem at all just over exuberance to a small degree on this track.....cheers planet
I never cease to be amazed by your creativity my friend - Hendriffalex....haha...that is so awesome. If it's a disease I want some! And keep me away from the cure please...ugh...7 minutes of ABBA is about all I can stand before my tenuous grasp on sanity is utterly demolished. Thanks so much for listening and leaving me some very amusing and insightful comments. Peace, Six
Wow man!...you walking Orchestra you....lets count em, 1.Soprano Sax 2.Clarinet 3.Guitar 4.Baritone Sax 5.Flute...all played beautifully.....I've met multi instrumentalist's before but usually they play one instrument well and dabble in the rest....When talent was being handed out you got enough for 5 people....I am constantly floored by what you do........saying it was a privilege playing with you is an understatement.......cheers planet(one of your many fans here at looperman)
Hi Dave, and thank you for playing on this one. I have some other stuff which you could play on if you want! If yes I will bounce it ovewr to you in Oz. Cheers Slap... (your mate and fan)!
I've also done this acapella....but not like this!...talk about taking things to another level...sheesh!....You really do know what your doing.....I think I've said this before..every one of your tracks is a learning experience....the notes are so..poised,like a dancer,there's that exuberance of motion and style.........great work!....awesome technique.....cheers planet
Oh...Yes!.....I'd have to put this in the fantastic category...bloody marvellous! that's for sure......I'm going to be a regular visitor McS...you swing big time!...cheers planet
This is really good...the drumming on what sounds like iron or something is great...I love this natural element...reminds me of a 'Midnight Oil' concert I saw..not the music but the application...Rob Hurst the drummer had a 500 gallon corrugated iron water tank next to his kit..it was absolutely amazing the sounds he was getting out of it...I could go on about old washing machines that sound funky.....I really like what your doing here...it's a great synthesis of beats and melody....cheers planet
All your tunes have excellent rhythmic awareness and great keys.....if I had to say anything about Hip Hop or it's related genres I'd be looking in your direction for inspiration....another excellent track!....cheers planet
I no producer or anything...but I am amazed your not making serious money out of these tunes(maybe you are!)...there as good if not better than any commercial beats that I've heard!......bloody pro work!...........cheers planet
I've often thought about revisiting old tunes I made years ago....but never seem to find the time...they weren't as good as this one though..newer technology,clearer sound,better production values would possibly improve the sound but not the impact of this track it's great as it is!....cheers planet
I love this one ..very Sicilian nights type of music...very easy on the ears..love that down shift at 2.00.....female vocals on top of this would be magic!..please do it....cheers planet
However such was his stature M.L.King's voice was heard loud and clear right around the globe....great track pepp..very with it and it only accentuates his message ...amazingly even people who wouldn't know Martin L King will love this track because it's way funky and very addictive.....great work!...cheers planet
Thanks for the review planet. It took me a long time to do this one. I didn't want to take away from the message. Finally came together yesterday. Pep PS Love your work.
From what institution I don't know..........very frenzied, I'm sort of thinking this would be a great breathing track between sets...Ableton is such a cool tool..the only thing I'd like to change would be to arc up the footsteps.....cheers planet
