Very nice tune, with a nice hook. I was bobbing in my seat listening mate. Nice breakdown at 1:44. I could see the Bieber doing this one. (a few pitch issues you can correct @ 2.14)
Oi mate, listening to this one as the work day winds down. I love the percussion. Are you familiar with Bowies Black Star. It's a cross between those Jazz drums and the Latin sound. I like how you have made the listener think of retro and yet come up with a unique sound. Impressive.
I don't think i have heard that one before but i have now. i can see the resemblance though maybe i have heard it lol.
i have been shamefully listening to dula leeper think that's how you spell her name. she is doing a lot of 80'90 retro pop at the moment so ill blame that haha
Thanks for the visit and comment much appreciated and the learning vid send some more lol.
HaHa..well my old friend, my ears are half shot and my fingers are failing but guess I am addicted as I can`t seem to quit. Great to hear from you. Be over to check out what you have been up to shortly. Cheers. Ed
Thanks so much for stopping by a listening to my very rough track. I listened to that Roxy Music track and I see what you mean. I have never heard it before, I really dig it. Be Well!
Thanks Steve. You are right. Need more strings, and French horns, and flutes and wah wah chunky-chunk rhythm guitar. Going to give that some thought. Thanks for the links. I am enjoying where you took me with them.
Lovely intro, and then the meat of the song comes in. In My Day job, I am trying to grasp how to introduce AI as a useful tool for your business needs. So far I love the Editing functions in Word, not convinced that I can create something new in Power Automate, but it does a great job repairing. I have created a few bots in Copilot Studio that seem to get dumber, not smarter. So all is not doom and gloom Cylons or Skynet taking over the world. That Guitar solo underneath after 4:00 is awesome BTW. I want this as the music for my slideshow at my funeral. (Dark thought). Great song Mate, good to hear you on this lovely nihilistic space you have created. Mr. C. certainly sounds like an evil character in a Bond movie who counters Bond by Drinking White Negronis and has an eye patch (I do not in real life have an eye patch).
As with anything that's ever been invented or developed, it has it's pros and cons. And since the Valvedriver aesthetic is a dark and foreboding one, I chose to highlight the dysptopian overlord sci-fi angle. Personally, I do believe that there are a lot of good uses for AI. I'm not familiar with the things you mentioned, but from an artists standpoint, AI art is abso-f'ing-lutely awesome! As long as it's labeled as such. I have played with some of it for my own entertainment. I've even used it for inspiration for some of my own paintings/drawings.
"...and has an eye patch (I do not in real life have an eye patch)."
I say get one. I don't believe it's written anywhere that a fella can't just get an eyepatch. I mean, Willy Wonka didn't need a cane... Just sayin'.
The Bass is killer on this one Mate! I am a huge Heaven 17 fan. I know they did a few Remixes for ( We don't need this) Fascist Groove thing back in the late nineties. I am reading Electronically Yours Part One from Martyn Ware as we speak. I would love to hear what you bring to the table with that tune. Great job Mate!
Yes, I don't get a commitment to do the number. I think it's already stuck with the sub labels that manage their rights here. But I don't want to do it without permission of some kind. I think for use only at LM I could try and do it. Thanks for listening.
So Musically, I enjoyed the laid-back vibe. You nailed the consonant-to-rhythm vibe I have been clamoring aboot to you for so long. So good Job there. Remember you have come a long long way my friend and are still growing. I like Cinco de Mayo as well and I am glad to see there is no lingering beef. You are both handling this in a professional adult-like way and that makes me happy. Now about those Spliffs. Come to Canada. We have the most open and relaxed laws on Cannabis. I prefer when I need to relax (at my age a Magnesium melatonin supplement works) I like a nice edible beverage. We are deciding whether or not to allow those (2.5mg) in the public like you would buy a beer. It's coming. However I do appreciate the 10mg for the home. Keep it up mate and pretty soon Drake will have beef with you ehh? Great work !
thanks for the positives Steven Canada is really relaxed about its use, seen lots of documentaries on the subject and i think you got it right. i understand its not for everyone but when people can go out drink copious amounts of alcohol cause a disturbance fight and damage property fight and insult police throw up all over the streets get locked up overnight and released when your sober with a talking to, no charge, but you could be sent to prison for smoking a JOINT, its stupidity. they tie everything together and think cannabis is the gateway to stronger things like heroin or crack. its just an excuse and ignorant, they been saying the same thing for 50 years theres no substance to these claims theres far stronger and more damaging prescribed drugs that do more damaged including smoking cigarettes
it was just a bit of fun the Cinco reference, he's a great guy in our community, no beef from me, just my funny side. keep listening mate :))
Fit Like Wobbin!. I love the old school mid 90's future music high hats that dominated the scene then. Then a real nice military electro-snare which also fits nicely. As Cinco de Mayo said the vox slots in nicely. Nice toms and claps. A really cool tour de force of percussion. Beat progression reminds me so much of the Latin sound (ie, Latin Rascals) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5MGlnGb_1o Good work mate
Fit like en, I got right into that video i forgot what i was listening for then i heard the high hats and thought they just remind me of my ones lol the guy tweaking the knobs that reminds me of me as well haha funny i attempted a 80's tune the other day still to come. Thanks man for your listen and support i always look forward to your messages i always seem to learn something ;)
On another wee note i hope your Old Boy is doing better.
As I would expect the Bassline is moving and different as it's your Forte. Be aware that as that's always your main instrument, make sure that it does not dominate the mix. A subtle lowering of the bass would make this tune more comprehensive as well as a raising of the vox. I like the reverse effects. Learning to let go of what sounds you like in the mix and to treat them in an egalitarian fashion will go a long way to making this wonderful creation even better.Remember it's always about the song and not the instrument. Good Work my friend
Good day Masa Cru 5 bass tracks yes i agree it was a bit overpowering in my defence haha 1st time i have had it almost so clear, but yeah its like cooking too much of one thing spoils the broth. Im going to do the vox again so i will tone down the bass a bit. chuffed you liked it cheers man. and thanks for the kind comment.
Beautiful Intro. Bringing those vocals to fade in is a brilliant choice. Such a slick cool mix.Pardon my stream of thought-like approach to commenting. Such thoughtful placement of arps and rhythmic synths and guitar-like sounds. That slide guitar reminds me of some Chris Rea remixes I have heard. This song gets a Fav. This is just a really Tasteful song, excellent job at the end I almost had some Bryan Ferry "Is your love strong enough " vibes with a David Gilmour guitar-like twist. Cheers
I like the song very much, I don't mind the tambourine in it but it needs to be consistent. Second Vocal, hmmn, maybe listen to some old Ten thousand Maniacs for some references. I'll get back to yah! Well Done

Arguably the greatest Trance tune ever made.

Commented on Take My Breath Away by deanp
There is a lot to like about this one. You need some good mastering (Izotope) software now. The EQ is great on the bottom end, maybe a touch reduction on the High Hgh end. but very good indeed.
Some examples to strive for.

Commented on CLICHE by Mykael
Hey Mykael, I see that you are making, not completely Country, but I find some similarities with (Rock and Roll Hall of Fame) Roxy Music. Here is an album cut that this song reminded me a bit of the style you are heading toward, though this has that late seventies sound.

Commented on Disco Boo by EricMilligan
Awesome mix, kinda modern disco, but you need those Orchestra string sweeps from the TSOP era to really make this feel authentic.
