Well, that's not the legendary Mr. Jinxz, is it? He was supposedly lost on a crazy space mission.
Okay, potnah ... I can't tell you how happy I am to see you back.
In any case, thanks for listening and commenting and the fav.
Cheers and see you soon,
Micky

Hello Robbie, I had already suspected that the signals we had received had something to do with you. Even if they kidnapped you to another universe: we will find you! Just hold on! Peace and love from the Co Commander!

mmm Math, num num num

Thank you so much! Here's the full album btw:

Two Floyd references, high praise indeed.
Yeah, wrote and performed the vocal, I'll add that to the description :)

Herbie Hancock style anything is a fantastic compliment. Thanks for listening.

Ok Rob. What I like about what we do is we can do what we feel. I was feeling this one in a different way. In comparison to the jazz funk fusion this was a much needed excursion. Thank for stopping by for the listen, compliments, and fave. TTYL. Peace.

Wasn't my intention to scare anyone. But since it's a compliment in your case, I hope you were scared shitless LOL. Thank you my dear friend and see you soon.

Thanks, kinda warming up. Been in a laid back mood I guess.

Yeah I played around a bit with the instrumentation and BPM. I first recorded a version that was a bit faster with more guitar, then went to the piano to practice playing it live (solo) and decided it needed a slower build-up... and as I recorded that I felt it needed power chords again ;)
I'm happy with the way it sounds now although I'm going to redo some of the vocals.
Thanks so much for listening my friend!!

Thank you, J, for the positive comment and listen. Always a pleasure when you stop by. This type of comment means a lot to me in several ways. 1, my mind set when I'm writing is to create the song as if I'm having a conversation with the listener. 2, when I'm soloing, I'm expressing my most valuable points of the conversation. When I'm mixing and mastering, that's the part of the conversation where I approach it as if we will agree or disagree with some points of the conversation. Thanks again for your time. PEACE. T576 OUT.

Thank you for listening and commenting.

If I still had the growler vocal abilities I had back in my twenties, (I'm knockin' on 50's door), I would have totally laid some down for this track. But now, I just sound like I'm trying to clear my throat. It just don't do like it used to.

Thanks for the re-listen and second comment. I appreciate it.

Take care.

Thanks Jynxz for checking it out, and the feedback.

Thanks Jynxz - I worked with a new EQ on this one I think it made is smoother
Hope you are well - look forward to hearing your new one

Jynx I'm glad you noticed the setup for the busting loose. I can't stand when a guitar player sets up a song for the bust loose and plays a 8 bar solo. What the heck is that. I cant tell my musical story in 8 bars, because you're correct, I have a lot to say. My goal every time out is to satisfy the listeners ears for what I claim to be expressing, "SMOOTH JAZZ", so if I can't deliver then it's not worth the listen to me. Thank you for recognizing my goal on this one. PEACE. T576 OUT.

hey Jynxz,
i do love it when it works,
and to be fair Rob, this one worked better than i expected. a lot of thought went in to it bars wise, got the EQ on the vox ok, think i got the flow and pace right, spent ages on the mastering getting the spacing, short pauses, bars back in.
as you know rap is repetitive and catchy, but 6 mins is alot of gas, the bars had to be fresh and changing to keep people interested, its had a good response so im assuming i done ok, even my lad likes it and he asked for the mp3, i might of made it on to his playlist ha,ha now that's progress mate, thanks for the stop off and fav mate, its appreciated.

Music is the balm of our souls!

Hi, Jynxz. Pretty much the same method in Logic Pro. I think I actually did about 4 bars of the bass and then duplicated it. Didn't attempt the side chain to the kick because I eliminated the bass notes when they coincided with the kicks. But, I know that, probably the preferable solution, is to use the side chain method so that some of the bass note is present in the track on each beat. I also didn't attempt to tune the pitch of the kicks to the key of the track. That's also something I know I should be doing, but frankly have never done. Laziness. Just pure laziness. :)

Hi my friend, coming from you it's a great compliment, I always try to have a certain musical and sound quality (even if it's not always successful, lol!), I think that the first notes and the sound must be "catchy" to go to the end of the track! Thanks again for listening my friend
