Loving the attitude and originality. Great lyrics by the way and your delivery hooks the listener right in. You obviously have plenty of ideas lyrically and melodically which is a gift. Keep creating!!!
WOW! Now that's some sinister groove man... It's like a killer walking into a small sleepy town on a dark stormy night, theres a flash of lighting and you catch his twisted grin and black eyes full of the pending horror awaiting the innocent.
Seriously a great track with great mix and production..
It's funny you mentioned that, because it was storming really outside when I got the idea for the beat, and I wanted it to be as grimy and horror-filled as possible. Apparently it worked lol, thanks man
Hi Dave, It seems I haven't been over this way for ages to listen to some of you booty.
This track is super fun, I think I just heard a massive belch lol... Great production mate as always with the mix really crisp and clean. Your playing is awesome as ever, just loving those Buddy Guy type guitar licks from your trust Fender ( strat or tele ) ? I fancy a Telecaster, but Fiona is having non of it lol....
I will be uploading the first draft of Zoo hopefully on Friday. Alexander is just recovering from one hell of a bad lip infection due to an allergic reaction to cane reeds. This happened when he was 8 and he has played on plastic ever since, but his new teachers kept saying cane was a superior sound over plastic and forced him to try them again. Two days later his lip looked like Mick Jagger's after being punch by Joe Bugner lol.... Anti biotic's have their uses...
Man this is an old one,I was still using outboard guitar effects then..two guitars my G&L F100 twin humbuckers and a G&L Legacy singlecoils (which I had borrowed for a spell and nearly bought).....Cane reed allergy for Alexander!..Oh that must be a drag..there goes your embouchure..mate he'd better never go to Queensland Australia,it's infested with Cane Toads!lol..thanks for stopping by Steve..I'll have new tracks up soon...cheers Dave :)
Delicate and beautiful intro... Great vocals and effect usage, I'm loving the fact you are using your voice as an instrument with many tracks devoted to is gorgeous tones. Your production and arrangement on this is also spell binding..
I love the feel!! I always admire members who upload vocal songs and this one delivers such a cool vibe and arrangement. Some great playing on here also which is always a big bonus than the usual loop gluing... Wonderful!
Whenever I try. And here I had the invaluable help of Wayne to round off the track. I very much appreciate your words and you've heard one of my songs.
PD.: The Madness song that even today makes me hit shots into the ceiling every time I hear it is Embarrassment.
Hi SKitZow, I'm digging the vibe on this one man. Great intro, very innocent and fragile in it's feel with that wonderful piano and string line. Great stuff indeed..
Hi Allen, it's a great privilege to play on such a rich and well woven tapestry. This song is testament to the reason why this site exists. We all live on different continents but are as one through music... Awesome job guys..
Hey Slap!Thank you and...thank you...you brought this thing to life.I echo what you mean about this site,I would never have been able to play out all my musical dreams with all these wonderful producers and musicians if not here.I know we all try to make songs that are both enjoyable and have a certain quality,but it's the collaboration for me that makes it all possible.
Fantastico!!!! Awesome from start to finish Bill. I hope all who listen realise the depth of your talent. Production is top drawer, playing is mind blowing and world class, arranging is a true lesson in how it should be done. This is not back slapping, ego stroking or bum kissing! This is how to write, arrange, produce and play a song. All who listen learn from this mastery...
Hey Steve. Hope you and the family are well bro. Wow...What can I say? How can you ever top a reviewer like yourself? I humbly bow to the real master of music and Lord of Woodwindshire. - Cheers - Bilbozo
Great production on this and all of your other tracks with a super depth of mix.
Your arrangement skills are also first class with plenty of interest for the listener..
Thanks for the nice comments. I would like to be able to do this kind of work commercially some day I am just doing it as a hobby for now .It will give me time to learn and improve.
I'm a big fan of Les Paul Gibson guitars ( got 2 of em ), so your thread hooked me in straight away lol... The track is good, it could be a part of a movie soundtrack in my head with it's sinister overtones.
I like this tracks delicate nature. you have not over complicated the arrangement which allows the vocal to shine through and your message be heard...
Super stuff! I love songwriters...
Hi Peres, I was drawn to this one because of the title. At the moment I would say my main playing style is funk and this song delivers the groove for me BIG TIME. It reminds me of the album "As we speak" by David Sanborn (check the album out on Spotify). Great mix and production, needs a melody line to finish the job off! Once I get back on track in a few weeks time I will blow a lead line on it if you want. I will need the exact tempo and I will send you the loops!
Hi Stalju, I like the mood on this, kind of dark and sinister from the offset. I can really hear someone rapping on the top of this track, you have created a great platform for that if you wish to go in that direction. A good overall production and mix finishes off my review.
Hi Allen, Spot on track man!! I love your guitar playing and your tone on this one is to die for... Will be back for more soon that's for certain..
Cheers, Slap...
Hey Slap..Thanks for stoppin by...I get lucky with tone sometimes!
Workin' on the guitar at the moment and hoping I don't have to over pay someone to tell me where the green wire goes...lol.
Thanks again!
Hi Carmen, you have a great voice for sure and the words and melody are super! I would love to hear a pro production on this, it would be mind blowing!!!
Hi Paul, thanks for the offer to play on this track. The first thing that hits me on this is your production, wow! It is simply masterful, great depth of range and arrangement. They are a lot of users on this site who can (and hopefully will) learn from your examples of top production. A song must grab the ears of the listener and this is what has happened to all I have played the track too. Great job on all levels!
Cheers,Slap...
Hi Dave, well the first thing to hit me was the clarity of this track, your production is crystal clear. Your arrangements are always fresh & original with excellent playing, I can't fault this piece in any shape or form, I would call it a masterpiece.
Howdy Oh great Woodwind God from across the pond...at the moment I'm in serious need of a double bass,playing a simulation Vst is fine as far as it goes,,but unfortunately it has severe limitations..thanks in part to you,my love of the jazz sounds that I grew up with are resurfacing and manifesting on my musical horizon.."if it ain't got that swing it don't mean a thing"..can't remember who said that but it's very true....thanks buddy..Dave :)
Great playing and awesome production yet again Wowza!!!! Your arrangements always deliver the desired interest and change to keep the listener hooked into the song from start to finish. I like all of your productions Dave, they are always fresh original and exciting, leaving just the right amount of space so the song can breath.
Hey Steve...this piece is a little indulgent but I had to get it out of my system and Zappo did a marvellous job of letting me have full reign,man I remember when I got my first bass and couldn't tune it! lol..when you get your recording system up and running I need a Slap infusion real bad...you'll be interested in my new sound,excellent double bass Vst midi controlled by "Wilma" my Jazz Bass..cheers mate :)
Simply stunning track! Super arrangement,playing,mix & production.. You all must be proud of this level of creation. Top stuff. Great vocal and superb lyrics.... Dave! You never cease to amaze me...
True artestry! This is a masterpiece period. It's like listening to an audio story where your imagination paints the scenes that the music is guiding you towards (does that make sense). WTF is that parrot thing! Dave you are one mad buggar adding a f*$£ing Emu lol....Wonderful track mate with beautiful production.
Hey mate!...thanks buddy...lol..well I do have a slight fixation with birds..though to get them to cooperate in a live band situation could be problematic,hehe...I guess another factor is I'm a total failure as a vocalist..I would dearly love to be able to sing(like yourself)..but alas what comes out is garbage....cheers Dave :)
Hi Rei,Great to hear your wonderfully produced and played stuff again on this site. I hope this marks a full return to the loop for one of our most talented musician producers..
Awesome track by the way!
hi Steve!!
back, yes ... but with limited time ... several projects are on the way (professional ones!), and that means a lot of work ...
and watch out ... someday I'll be in England, and we'll have a jam session!!! I know this will happen ... ;-)
Hi DJD, it seems like you have produced a nice track from the samples/loops from this site. Balance and mix are clean and tidy, with some meaty bass drum to fill that bottom end sound. You need some form of vocal or melody instrument to complete this one now.
Good Stuff....
