I had a go with this pella but you guys topped it. Really nice heavy guitars and I am so looking forward to the final result. This is very promising.
Cheers

I have to agree with Pete, an interesting piece. Absolutely lovely work that demands my focus all the way, there's a lot going on and I don't want to miss any of it.
And that awesome rickenbacker sounding bass in the beginning...Nice.
/pmk
Thanks Kikajon's.
Yes, the bass is beautiful, and as I answered to SPD2, you can read the name of threee real famous bassists in the 70 and 80's, I love much, for they technics and theyre melodies at the bass.
Oooooh. I love this. Comparisions isn't always a good thing, but this reminds me of an Al diMeola song. Anyway, great track. You gave me the smile of the day. XLNT.
Although I did'nt consciously write this with him in mind - this reminds me of Al DI Meola too! The reasons are probably because I used my Les Paul to record it and for the hook I used a hungarian scale (which he uses extensively) to imply that eastern sound. Glad you liked it.
Beautiful, easy flow. I really dig this slow buildup and the pace, the oriental influences and the orchestration.
Great work. I'd love to hear it with words.
/pmk
Thanks for the review man. I wasn't sure about the middle east sounds but for me writing the lyrics there was a reason. I wanted a more world wide sound.
Thanks man and take care.
Gord
Great pop song. :D
Seriously, I like this. A lot. You've got a great voice. If i could make a suggestion it would be adding compression to your voice, to keep vocals more even but with power.
Keep on. Love to hear the album if this is a first glimpse.
Cheers
/pmk
I've actually been adding more songs from said album but since I can only upload a few at a time, it's slow going. I also re-recorded a lot of them before I finished it.
As for the compressor, I use one whereever possible but depending on what I have my microphone volume set at, it can cause a really annoying 'hiss' throughout the entire song. I have a decent mic and can use it on most tracks but since I have the mic volume as high as it can go without picking up the hissing, adding a compressor only caused problems with this track. But maybe I can find a way around it.
Thank you my friend,I keep thinkin' i'm gonna run outa acoustic ideas and this one was quite different but very fun to play.
I hope to have another Transatlantic Experience soon!

Adam, this is amazing production.
I love your way of creating a voyage through an imaginary landscape with continously shifting scenery. Impressed, and with the deepest respect: Wow!
/pmk
Woa, instant fav!
I liked the drums very much up to 1:35, I'd like a better flow in the chorus (?). And the guitar sometimes sounds a little dull – like old strings. A bit more sparkle would do the trick.
It sounds a like a bunch of negative critique, it isn't. The track is beautiful and well composed.
/pmk
Hej Rei!
A well found title – the sounds drops in and it's an excellent performed track. I saw someone mention a Rei-category, I'd second that, you have your own unique sound.
Peace
/pmk
well, I think every musician wants to create his own sound, but that's hard to achieve ... it's great to hear that you think I did it ... ;-)
thx a lot for this motivating review!!
Ooooh Yes!
I if mentioned a zappa influence earlier you took it all the way at 33 seconds. An instant fav (and a dl if that would have been an option). This track is so good that great is an understatement. Amazed.
Peace
Thanks for the review! My music has definately taken a turn towards "Gonzo" recently! If you still want a copy - I've made it downloadable.
Cheers, Jamie.
Wow, Allen, I totally dig your jazzy approach in this one. You have that smooth, warm tone (Gibson?) and clean quick rushes combined with really soft playing. That's how to play guitar for real – and I realize I've got a long way to go. :)
Excellent playing, just excellent.
/pmk
Update: Thank you, Then we should try one together. I've got this ska/reggae piece that could do with your skills. I'll try to get Jim to sing it too. Interrested?
You do not give yourself enough credit so I will do it for you.You are the king of guitar hooks and i think you found a secret hook book,passed down to only a few.I'm kinda all over the place but you make the riffs people remember.And I've said this before..it's not how many licks you can get in..it's gettin' in the right licks.
And as far as the tone,I play the tele in my avatar with a hot rails pu that is a double coil in the single slot...and I turn a lot of knobs :)
I forgot to thank you..and I do.
Allen
Of Course my friend..Tell Jim to pick up the beer and fill up the van...we're gonna need a lot of gas:)
You and your son match up great. And yeah, it's adds an extra dimension when collaborating with your kids. Passing on music to the kids is a good thing that becomes even better when they want to do music with dad. It's a sweet feeling.
This track sounds great and I love that ripping solo – fits in perfectly.
/pmk
Thank you from my son and myself.It was a little scary when we first talked about it cause I didn't know what to play on it..it didn't sound like van halen so it took a few takes lol, but I think i'm out of my box a little more now because of it...sometimes
:) This bumps, pumps and makes me tap and dig. Love the keys, the rhodes sound and the clavinet. And how odd it might seem, it makes me remember tv shows like Baretta and Kojak. Great stuff.
/pmk
What a nice tune, loved the oriental touch. Again I find a lack of words, excellent is what comes to mind. Fantastic voice, well mixed and I really, really like the sound of the drums.
/pmk
This might sound ridiculous but my english doesn't have the words to discribe just how impressed I am of this track.
Congraulations to an amazing tune diMeola, santana style. Inspirational. And it sounds like you had a blast putting it together.
