Thank you, Richie – your review is much appreciated. I am trying very hard to get an "in the room" live feeling on the tracks and it feels great that you think we've succeeded. (There's only an Atlantic ocean between me and the rest of the band).
Again, thanks for listening and reviewing.

Thanks a bunch Richie! I'm happy you enjoyed it. :D

Hi ya Richie,

Sorry its been awhile since I have posted anything. I was awaiting on another person to do the lyrics/vocals to this song last fall, but he ended up being too busy with college studies. So Erik and his father took up the challenge and made it happen. I am very happy with the way it turned out. I had it professionally mastered as well. I have other tunes started, just not finished yet. Takes me awhile as I am 'old'. Lol

This was basically a 150bpm song. As for drums, I usually use betamonkeymusic.com drum samples. Sometimes when a song is played fast, it is easier to get a nice steady beat going. The guitar lead parts don't have to be played fast either, to produce a good effect.

So I'll put up some more tunes as I can whether vocals included or not. Thanks for your glowing review and am glad you enjoyed it.

It kind of caught me by surprise that you laughed, but I wasn't offended, laughter is good for the soul.

Thanks Richie :-)

Hiya Richie. Hope all is good with you & yours my friend? Thanx so much for the review. I'm really honured & humbled when such talented Loopers as your-self comment on my work. I was really chuffed with how this track worked out. I like the guitar riff you mention and will probably use it again. It is kinda sweet eh ? I often struggle with vocals but on this one they seemed to just fit around everything else. I really do appreciate you taking time out to drop by to my lil corner of the Loop and have a listen. Peace, Love & Justice to you maate.

Thanks for your comment,
I just love making music. One thing, I just don't know anything about it. It's just something i feel like. So what do you mean by saying arrangement or breakdowns?

Hey Richie thanks man!...actually I was sort of taking a leaf out of your book.I have EZDrummer/SuperiorDrummer which I used here..definitely worth getting back into them to get that 'real' drum sound..I'd been using Stylus RMX a lot which is great but doesn't have that real stick on skin sound (not that any drums have skins on them now! lol).....Amazingly we are in the same country! lol..so anything is possible...God can you imagine how cool it would be if many of Looperman's muso's lived in the same city..damn we could get one hot unit together!...always a pleasure to have you stop by mate!..cheers from Zap,Slap and Dave (sounds like that terrible 70's band!lol) :)

Hey Richie...thanks for stoppong by and checking the track out..I appreciate the comment man and i love the stuff you abd P.E. are putting out...i got a lot of different ideas i'm trying and a surplus of things ill probably just turn into loops and share them here....Talk to you soon

Peace

Richie, thanks for the kind words. Coming from someone that's worked on a few things with Patricia, it's well received and appreciated. Her voice is spectacular and shines on her own. I just wanted to take a shot and I had loads of fun making this.

Ah, Mr Winn. How good of you to stop in. Yes, Breakbeats a bit of a difficult genre to figure out as there are lots of different varietys of it. I personally just go with the philosophy that if it aint got a four to the floor beat pattern & it's electronic, then it's breakbeat. Or it could be 2 step, or garage, or whatever lol.
I'm glad you managed to find a moment to tune in and check it out.

Awww, thank you Richie :-)

I'm glad you like it Richie.
I tried to recreate that 80's sound and feel, adapted to our days. Stephanie's acapella suggested that to me.
The instrumental "guitar solo" and the arrangement in general comes as idea from "Bigmouth Strikes Again" by The Smiths: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYLmptz_r_o.

Thanks.

I had Madness on the head while I did this song. I'm glad you liked it. I also find it funny.

Ty very much for the nice comment.

The drums are made with Superior Drummer kinda big brother to EZ-Drummer. I think Drumset was "Drumkit From Hell"

Sorry for the late response. I've been having some profile issues (I don't mean like multiple personality or anything like that so don't panic)
Yeah the Norweigan model turned out to be a good blag in that it got me quite a bit of attention. I'm going to give this track to someone to professionally master as mixdown is really not my strongest point.
Anyway, Chicane are a trance act that do a lot of stuff in a similar style. Their most famous one is probably "don't give it up" which was a double team with Bryan Adams (dam good track might i add)
Thanks for leaving your thoughts Richie. It's always appreciated.

Thanks for your nice comment and your listener.

Thanks heaps Richie for the nice words :-)

It would definately be a shame to "hide/chop" her fantastic voice in any other way.

As being a new "rookie" on this site, i am quite amazed how much great music there are here from a lot of people.

I listened to your track "Come home" and i must tell you, it is not often i get goosebumps from listening to great music.

Your version is absolutely stellar and it clearly shows that you know your stuff. Wow :-)

Hi Richie my friend good to hear from you and thanx loads for taking time to listen & reveiw. Nice to know I strecthed your ears on this one. Thats a big compliment that I have taken a genre and made a talented muso such as your self re-evalute the way a type of music can sound. As I said to MS I enjoyed making this and was pleased with the final take but it's all down to Patricia sharing the 'pella. Again mate I really appreciate your comments here and I feel very humbled by them.

Thanks for listening & commenting Richie. I'll be over to see whats new with you too!

Jamie.
