Nice work guys. Paul, you did a bang up job composing this, and the incomparable Lacey really excels in this genre. Ryder, glad you put all the pieces together and get this uploaded. I hope you will post some more of your work.

I really enjoyed this one. Very soothing and caressing to the soul. I like the way you fit all the instruments together. I think the upright base was a good choice for this one. If you got a singer to put vocals in this one I think it would be splendid.

I think I would almost classify this as a funk tune instead of rock. Nice work on how it all fits together. The guitar part sounds like a VST software instrument. What software did you use to make this? I like it, as it has a very upbeat can catchy tune.

I would recommend collaborating on this one and get some one to throw in a real lead in this one, as that would really make this one sing. Nice organ playing.

I liked this mix and arrangement, as I'm always partial to some good funk, especially if it has a nice rythme guitar with good timing.

I agree this could use either some vocals or some kind of woodwind solo. Maybe get SlapJohnson to lay down a sax track for it.

Found this gem while reading one of your posts on a forum. Very sweet sounding, and the music fits together nicely, and compliments the vocals. I love the space you give to the vocals, and all the pauses and hesitations that really set this off in a tranquil direction. The percussion is quite amazing, as each percussion instrument supplements the others.

Overall a very tight piece that I think many would do well to have in their library of music. This is only the 2nd piece I've listened to by you, so I hope you have some more along this genre.

I like this tune, as I think it has the foundation of being a very funky jam. I think if you added a rythme guitar to play a funky riff to accompany the main refrains, it would really put this over the top.

Love the wah guitar that accompanies the horn solo.

I almost wish I could attach a loop to this review, as I have an idea for the rythme guitar part.

Nice work,

Kelly

I am in total agreement with JFW on this one, this song is crying out for a sax solo in the middle of this one. Very good mix and I absolutely love the base line.

Kelly

Hell yea, this song really reminds me of some of the stuff Cameo would produce with kind of a falling base line and synths mixed in for fun. Love the beat, and the mix of synths with acoustic piano.

Kelly

A very creative piece that rocks out with the rythme guitar and the vocals really spice up this song in a tempting way.

Nice composition.

Kelly

So I love the vibe that this song projects, and the bass guitar really makes this song stand out, as it has just enough edge to it to add some real soul and R&B foundation to this piece.

I think you did a great job putting the parts together, and the lead guitar really rocks out, as you left enough space to let it stand out and shine.

I really could envision you adding some vocals to this one.... kind of a sultry sounding person would really put this over the top. And maybe a bridge and chorus to kind of give a rest from the main versus.

Overall a very compelling groove that I enjoyed while sipping my beer tonight.

Ok, I really liked this composition (as I'm not so much into fusion in general) and his tune really captured the essence of a smooth, funky guitar, and very nice chord progressions. Totally reminds me of some of the stuff Maze did back in the 80's.

I could totally hear a very smooth vocalist in this song, as that would just set this off into another realm.

As is, it's so relaxing and just takes me away to another place. My kind of jam all the way. Top notch mix and composition. Love the piano accompaniment, and the guitar riffs, very well constructed and the way you fit the various pieces into the whole makes for a well mastered song. I think this song deserves some serious attention.

Ok, after listening to this it had great guitar riffs and other accompaning pieces that really rocked out man. So I gotta ask, what was the signature and time of this song, it almost reminds me of a 5/4 timing, as it's always hitting notes during an offbeat. Definitely a jazz piece, as the disjointed timing kind of makes it nothing else except what jazz could deliver. A very tight composition, I'm impressed.

Very nice, good mix of the instrumental solo's with the vocals. I like the feeling that the entire song supports, as the mood is reinforced by all the various parts of the song.

One thing that I felt would enhance this song, is if the percussion part was "less busy" during the vocals, as I kind of felt they were taking away from the vocals because they were doing too much in the background.

Overall a very nice piece and well put together. Great collaboration guys.

I love the main versus in this one and like how you blended in the lead guitar solo. I think this song could really use a bridge and a chorus to kind of give it somewhere else to go, and then when it comes back to the refrain it will be like the breath of fresh air again. Very creative... love the vibe.

This tune really grabbed me and I found myself listening all the way through. I really liked the trumpet solo throughout. However, I think after the bridge where you lead into the sax solo, I almost think this song would do better with a guitar solo or something that is not a woodwind, as the trumpets kind of need to be the brass/woodwind sound I think. I guess I felt the sax was too similar to the trumpet sounds, and that something different like synth or guitar would really be a great contrast.

Overall a very nice tune.
