Appreciate it,
Yes it does come with the genre, maybe it'll sound better with some rap. I'm also simultaneously working on a few other genre's i'm not so acquainted with, maybe you'll like them better

Ed this project has been nothing but a pleasure to do. I fell in love with that pad loop and started off in four different directions with it. this song is the most reasonable approach. Take yourself a bow, you earned it , on this site your Pads and songs contribute to all of us and inspire us to make great music. so chin chin if you have a glass!

I thought the music was crying out for some vox and hope I did it some justice. And thanks for such great feedback, as it's hard to deny that comments like this just spur me on that little bit more.

You're welcome, my friend...I'm the one who should be saying thank you again and again...my gratitude is huge !:)

Till next one____Leon

Thank you, Ed. Feedback like this really keeps me going, especially coming from you, as you're pretty revered around this joint. I love the creating part, hate-the-trying-to-get-it-out-there part, but I need to slog through it so that more people can hear this stuff. Even just registering all the songs on ASCAP (55 of them) is a lengthy chore, and I am one of the world's great lazyasses. Give me a joint and headphones and I'm done. So, anyway, I really appreciate your feedback - it is very motivating. Thank you!

Thanks for your time and comment Ed!
I hope to hit the dance floor this summer ;)

It was just a great moment to find out that the totally different genres complements each others.

Have a nice weekend!

Hey thanks Ed! One of my goals when creating music is giving something that everyone can get into whether they listen to the said genre or not.. I strive for a style that incorporates many elements and to not be bound to one genre even within the same song.The musical aspect had been sitting for quite some time, and I had no idea what to do vocally. This song eventually forced me to create a new style of vocals for me, which I quite enjoyed and I'm glad you did as well!

Thanks Ed! It's validating to hear you speak about contrast between the low and high ends, I've been focusing on that in my mixes recently.

I've only very recently been exposed to drum and bass (started listening to guys like Aphex Twin and Squarepusher 6-7 years ago), so maybe that shows through in how I create tracks that fit into the genre. Interesting observation :)

Glad you enjoyed.

many thanks Tumbleweed for your comments on this, i'm glad you really liked it, the only reason i decided to put that kinda finger snapping beat in at the last mo as to represent in a way time

well i don't normally do this type of music, but i felt the need to try considering of a tribute on the events in Manchester

thanks again for taking the time to comment

stay safe

Hey Ed. Thanks, to be honest with you, neither am I, I don't listen to much D&B.
I'm testing out a few new methods with mixing, I'm using two different sets of speakers as opposed to headphones. I've not yet give it a good mix, just enough to get the ideas down and it sound alright.
I appreciate that man :)

Hey Ed thanks buddy!..it's interesting that "surf" music in the traditional sense is now relegated to a seldom visited pigeon hole and never (if ever) used by contemporary film makers, you get anything from deep house to rockabilly to full on dub, which is understandable seeing as the stuff we grew up on is prehistoric! haha..that's fine with me I'd never try and play The Ventures material it just wouldn't seem right, and apart from anything else I don't use a plectrum and could never pull it off. I've been checking out some Canadian dudes who do arctic surfing they are totally insane and what the do is totally brilliant, the commitment level required is nothing short of mindblowing....you ever get the urge to go tube riding while there's three feet of snow on the ground? haha....thanks again for listening mate, cheers Dave :)

Many thanks for the fav Ed...you know I'm sharing it with you..:) It was a lovely experience again...looking forward for many more !:)

Cheers____Leon

Thank you Ed for stopping by to hear this one! I suppose with the lack of freedom available in society in general, I have been wondering why I would limit myself in art (since there is still very little THEY can touch in art). At the same time, aspects of this song are very much in my comfort zone in the technical sense, so I was definitely tied to my structure and habits for the most part.

I have been having great fun with the Pod v2, and it has opened up some creative avenues on guitar for me. In fact the "swell" effect setting in it's various setups has been quite enjoyable, like on this song. I like it enough that I have added a pedal build to my "to do" list which will incorporate this sort of function. I pretty much have the building blocks in my head... so as long as the feature creep doesn't show up like usual, maybe it will be finished before the apocalypse!

Very much appreciate your listens and reading your words! Thank you!

Hey Ed! I usually do 2 takes as the first take is where I work out some ideas and just play, mistakes are common. By the second take I have the ideas in my head then need to play it better and tighten it up. As I never practice, the pressure is on to perform and to just play from the heart. I can tell by listening to your songs that you hit the red button and just play, a lifetime of skill and musical know how makes it fun rather than work.

I shouldn't say it has no structure as there are distinct parts to the song and they flow because I mostly play in one key and intentionally played distinctly different bass parts with different dynamics. I think there is a key change in there somewhere but I am not going back and figuring it out, he.

I've always loved surf music, great stuff! Take care Ed!

The people who run this planet are driven by greed and self self self.
They are indeed crazy.
A global law should be enacted limiting wealth to a billion thereby stopping people becoming so obsessed with more more and more which is damaging to the rest of us.
I'm sure 95% of the people of the world want food shelter security for themselves and loved ones and not much more yet thios small percentage have other ideas.
Anyway glad you liked my little effort at worldly affairs.
I'm going to have a beer right now in the sunshine. Lovely warm sunshine the last few days here in the Welsh mountains.

Thank You! I do feel the song could use a remaster/mix or even a full update which I may release later! But thank you, I'd like to think I'm making some progress since I started here so many years ago!

Thank you Tumble.
Brick wall limiting?
That could be a preset!
I do like to think of myself as creative.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Nice to bring a smile to a face.
I enjoyed the ghead banging foot tapping moments throughout the creation.
I think my next painting will be a relaxation/meditaional one.
I think though that the slower things are the more difficult they become to create.
I'll be back.
