Hi Mark, thanks so much for listening (and the fav!). I have to humbly state that the drums were only slightly edited grooves off of Steven Slate SSD (free version). So I can't take much credit there. I was pleased with the texture/tone etc. of the pads I made though. Those involved at least 6 layers of synth with (gosh) some automation of filters/volume and various saturation/distortion plug ins. Some of the synth stems were run back through guitar rig too. As for the colab, well, what I would love would be for a real drummer to go to town on it with some chill but more evolving percussion. Not much chance of that though...

Thank you Mark, you're being too lenient with me; I committed this horror in a moment of weakness, but I promise I won't do it again.

hi kingmt !! thx for your feedback

Thanks man. How are you? I always appreciate your detailed comment. I'm so glad you liked this tune. I spent a lot of time with it try to make better music and better mixes. The Piano Plug in I'm loving these days is from AIR Technologies GmbH called Mini Piano. Really simple not alot of options but a real nice sounding responsive piano.
Thanks again man. Peace UE

Thank you so much.

Thanks so much Mark! Yeah I'm not done yet with this one, but I have 4-5 more that need my attention, so I had to kick this one out and make some space in my mind. Some of the vocals aren't quite where I want them, and I want to play with the ending.

In general I'm experimenting and trying to get outside my tried and tested guitar/bass/piano/drums/vocals template and discovering some pretty interesting places, I feel. And that also leads to different lyrics.

I'm definitely having fun, and that's all that matters :)

Merci Mark, je ne mérite pas autant d'éloge, mais cela fait plaisir quand meme.????Je vais éssayer de ne pas avoir "la grosse tete".

Thank you Mark, I don't deserve so much praise, but it's nice anyway ????I'll try not to get "big-headed".

Thanks Mark! I appreciate you taking the time and your awesome comments. I'm glad you enjoyed the piece. I remember the band "Hummingbird". I'm going to do a refresh listen. Babylon Sisters is one of my favorite shuffle examples. So "LA"! Steve Gadd is another of my fav drummers. Check out his new album, I believe it is live. A tune called "Any Moment Now". The album is a study in minimalism. Thanks again UE

Thank you Mark, your compliments go straight to my heart :-)

Hey Mark, wonderful that it takes you back to pleasant times. I guess I've fulfilled my mission then. Oh, and I'll gladly accept the compliment of the comparison to The System... I really liked them too. "Promises Can Change" is a bit of a tearjerker, but I still listened to it over and over again. Thanks for listening and the nice review.
Peace,
Micky

Thank you very much Mark!

What's up Mark,

Thank you for revisiting
this track and continuing
to give me the encouragement
to keep trying to convert/translate
my thoughts into sound/music.
I miss being on the LM grid.
I hope to be back soon.

Hello Mark, nice to hear from you. I've been really turned off by the vibe on LM lately... I don't deal well with Dimestop's overbearing personality... it just ruins my mood. Especially when I see him getting approval from people who I actually thought would be more peaceful. I'm just an old hippie, somehow, that's how it is and that's how it will stay.
But I'm very happy that you like Robbie and I's old track. I don't know how close you are to him or whether you know about his current situation. In any case, we can't continue to work together musically at the moment, which really bothers me. I'm working on my personal tracks, but I've become so particular about them that it takes me months before I'm satisfied... LOL
I hope you're doing well and I'll hear from you again soon.
Love AND Peace
Micky

Mark, thanks for the listen. I'm glad you enjoyed this one. It seemed to come together nicely. I am working on my mixes, trying to get some front to back imaging. Thanks again my friend. I hope all is well. UE

Hello Mark,
I didn't realize that you had already listened to this thing some time ago. So thank you for listening and the encouraging comment. It's always a great pleasure for me!
Cheers,
Micky
