Hey, Domenico,

Thanks for your kind words. This one was fun and it lent itself to lots-o-drums, which you know I like! On the bass volume at 4:10, I purposely boosted the level because it was a bass solo. If you notice, I did the same with the other sections with solos.

Cheers,
Scott

Hey, thanks allot, Domenico. Always good to hear your kind words.

Ciao,
Franco & Scott

eee ( it's the same U may call OoOoh , or even oOoPs _ :) ) ! Domenico I thaught that I have answered your comment when today noon I was writng reply of that mail to U ! haha..
i really congratulate myself for having such a smart brian ..
anyway I am ( in fact we=me & BrandY=are) really gratefull of your attnetion & time to comment. Domenico , Brandy's immediacy for composing this proper melody vocal was wonderfull for me as composer ,She is a very skillfull guitarist too & maybe this factor made this track a fast but
for me cool collaboration . next will be glock & I suggest U to listen that & see how a wolf can be wonderfull as a collaborator , specially if he accepts that his collaborator is a miner so it's better to let miner dig toward the stones hearT & that gentle wolf & Carole acept to answer comments instead of digger Behnam , please . haha..no matter if the others too , but I hope U've underestood what I pleased U about our glocky ( while digging have found this new wrd !)cooperation . all the bests & ciaos both to U + a friendly smile.take care.___Behnam

Mrwol14, Thanks a lot for these great comments. I really like the idea of chopping up the arp and giving the listener just a taste of it in the intro. I am definitely going to try that. I am glad you think that the track is mixed well... I try but that is my weakness.

Good to get your great reviews after a month of being away. I have still been uploading so here are tracks you may not have heard:

A Month Of Mondays, Fly Yes, Land No and Three Miles Late.

Read reply to Crucethus as it covers some of your points.

Is reggae the mother of all psychedelic rock? Enjoyed doing it here, maybe I should do more.

3:12 guitar release we get some electric slide. All other slide is on resonator.

At 3:41 I love the extreme guitar (you can hear it also 1:59 and 4:52). I'm maybe more into weird sounds than you but melody and groove are my favourite + most important things.

4:05 clean guitar. By "pushed", you mean you would have raised its level?

5:05 double time drums features one of my best basslines. It's guitar through octave pedal. Most of bass in this is, except for some fat synth bass.

No banjo here, just resonator guitar (see Crucethus reply).

At 7 mins, I'm removing layers, boosting bass, making bass + drum groove breathe more. Less intensity, more space, more beauty, brush drumkit returns for good chillout funk stuff.

When you give things space, you can still bring in short blasts of sound so I use bits of strings, slide guitar, sitar guitar etc. But I don't think I used any slow attack guitar there.

8:42 wah funk guitar playing is pretty much the same as fast stuff on 5:42. I always say good riffs can sound great with different types of drums - that's one reason I do the double time drum thing. It's easy and and inspires even more cool playing.

"At 9:45 we have "almost" a melody played". Don't know what you mean. I love good melodies though I'm not really a lead or solo player - I'm just a rhythm, riff, grooving kind of guy. But I have lots of melodies in my tracks I think people could sing, like a proper tune.

10:45 slide I really like. There is maybe something slightly off about the sound but it works OK. I've added quite a bit of chorus to it there.

12:24 electro kit: This track, just like Right Place Wrong Century and Three Miles Late, has a hip hop single hit kit in it. I muted it mostly in this track but then brought it in for the big chill ending. It has lots of fun effects on it.

Nice, gentle bass chords played in last section. That's because they are guitar chords. Remember - most of the bass in this is guitar. I'm really not sure how many people do that but I do it a lot, for different reasons.

No synth liquid bass in this (well, maybe a bit) but maybe you mean the liquid guitar/bass sound. In another track you thought it was fretless bass (The Wrong Side Of Zero).

"wolves are not used to kindness"

Well, you write lots of kind things on this site. Or maybe they are just honest, not kind.

Yes, hard to choose a favourite song. Maybe my best track ever is one not many people have heard. It's on Looperman, is only 5:30 and is called Circular Motion.

Danke thinks my best track is Into The Out There.

See you around for the next track. It's another psychedelic epic...

Thanks a lot for the comments! So yes couple of things, I agree with the track maybe being confusing but it was only a demo as in now I have replaced it with an updated version however it is not a finished product. I have yet to mixdown a track and replace few things! Thank you for listening.

Hello Domenico ! How is my sweet friend ? 'Hope you started this new year with much joy and happiness .
I thank you very much for your detailed and instructive comment and the time you devoted to this little thingy !
I'm real happy you enjoyed it and you're right about the melotron solo ( sounds anachronistic but I found it funny ).

I wish you and your loved ones all the best for 2014 .
Take good care,
Un abbraccio in return
xoxo

Thanks Domenico....very kind words that fuel my drive to keep doing this. I really appreciate the support and your taking the time to check out my track and for leaving a comment.

Hey Domenico, thanx for doing me the honour of listening to a genre that you're not really in to! Appreciate your comments always bro.

K;)

Wrwolf14 thanks for noticing I am a man, and could not have ever gotten that vocal out of me to save my life. :-)

Yes I did play everything except the drums that is me on a Squire jazz bass I picked up recently. I am kind of digging playing bass. I have not played Bass much since my main instrument is guitar.

Coming from a bass player it is nice to hear it did it justice.

I really do appreciate your positive comments on this one and I am so glad you and the others enjoyed listing to it.

Peace and happy Holidays :-)

thank u 4 this review Domenico

Wow! Such compliments that I never expected. Thank you. Agreed it needs a cleaner mix, levels and such. Thank you for your honest feed back. Looperman I love this place :-)

Thanks so much for listening! I think most of my best songs are disturbing. I'm glad you hear the strange melody! I really appreciate the support!

Thanks, Domenico. This was another that I had almost finished and thought of checking with Franco to see if he could add something to it, so he did the tasteful guitar parts. Yes, the bass is midi.

Ciao,
Franco & Scott

Thanks Domenico, I have tried hard to get better at the production part of recording. I must admit that on occasion I find it some what more interesting than the actual playing of the instruments themselves. You really get to shape the sound and it gives you a lot of creative room to bring the song to life. I was going to leave it without a vocal but Spivkurl has given me an idea to take it in a Doorish vibe. Might sit down and try and workout something in a Mr Mojo Risin vain.
Thanks for taking the time to give it a listen and for leaving some feedback. It is greatly appreciated my friend.

Thank you much Domenico- You enlightened me with what you said about bass lines; If I can keep what you said at the top of my consciousness when finding a bass part I really think the effort will be more efficient (.."the notes you don't play are more important than the ones you do play") ha! yeah, every drummer should know that!

The piano is from a Sony Creative Labs loopset

I tend to agree about the drumkit though...I will replace most of the drum loops I use by tweaking my Roland and playing them myself a little later.

Again, THANKS for all the insight

Domenico my friend how R U ? mastereo! haha! I felt I'm Franco Quadroni for a while..! Phonetics & the way consonant & phonetic are working in your cool language has always been cool for me,and this insist in U about being Italian too .
I'm gratefull to see U've been here and thnx alot for your attention to my description & shared idea of yours in commenT.
Domenico buT beyond kidding I'm bery young to be called master.see there are many traX of yours(for example)too in which U deserve to be called Mastereo buT even U who is like
many of other grea musician older than me are too young to be called Mastere and if U pay attention & remember , I never called Ed or Barry or Franco something like Master bfore I underestand they are grandfathers.for me first indeX of mastership is having white hair & to be grandfather .and if someday I was a grandfather & still a good boy and be abl to compose or play masteship trials then maybe I can deserve such words..and about your ideas , I know your eleganT and public elegant too like less thos parts which I bend music and respecT ,yes , those could be played in normal waY,buT this game with the numbers of semitones is a fun for me as U know & I think I should have these error & trials about it to find the best numbers consideration way in one of my trials at last to can add something alittle new to music & repea because I wanted to track goes to about 100'' as the others 100'' of mine which U have heared and oh man U know lazy friend of yours who it's hard to for him to find the mood of something again if U see I repeated that.
and about those monets which U've mentioned them as posiitive moments I just can say this was such a hard calculation for me as U an engineer can underestand that how those notes are working that I believed I'm sick for making complicated harmony texture .it would be great if U may have any psychologist friend to can take a look to me , seriously,I think.haha.man take care & stay in touch in email Mr absent.___Behnam
