Thanks... I felt the same thing, but was so focused on making the guitar sound decent that I overlooked that. It sounds best just to rip out the paino chords all together, don't you think?
Nice baseline, and an awesome muted melody using the piano and other stabs. Very much like Chicago House. Love the tremlo guitar in the last third of the song. gives off a great chilled vibe.
good work!
Cru
Hey Cru,
Thanks for sharing your feeling about this sound :) (i saw you recently changed your logo, nice choice ;))
about the bass line, as toastedavalanche noticed it, i took care to create an interplay with the piano. Your reference to chicago make me happy because it's a great place for house music! thank you very much for your friendly words, i appreciate it :)
There is a Leonard Cohen quality about this one. In a good good way. Keep on it. Musically I want to hear a chorus sung an octave higher in it maybe with a quick explosion of emotion and back down to that draweld almost spoke-sung sound that reminds me of Mr Cohen.

Where the hell U been Mate?
I hope the summer has been good for you. I have been ridiculously productive in all genres and having a hell of a time making music and mastering sounds and meshing things together that shouldn't be. What are you working on these days my friend?
Crucurious?
Glad to hear you've been productive! Sorry, I've not been doing any Looperman listening for a while. Got a bit disenchanted with the lack of new Rock/Metal instrumentalists joining the site, and an influx of producers and rappers. Also not a fan of the mouth-flapping coming from a Funktastic bitch who admonishes every perceived micro-aggression. So it's the track section disappointment, and the forum policing. I would rather leave than stay and complain. Also been more active this summer. I quit smoking over 3 years ago and now we're biking and hiking and canoeing about the Ozarks. I have really gotten into fishing in an unhealthy way. Addicted.
I have two partial tracks in the hopper, and a couple collabs with looperman members that may see the light of day in the next year. Hopefully sooner with my personal tracks.
I agree with Mosaic, it is a house-trance hybrid but very smooth and listenable. Good production all around. As for the name, the song reminds me of "driven Purpose" it's just moving forward amnd niothing is stopping it from unfolding before your ears. Great Work.
Cru
Nice work Cam. Nice shout outs to fashion, maybe they will throw you some love back with free Calvin Klein, or VS! I like the concept of ""Some type of Way"" though, that is lyrical genius!
keep on keeping on!
Cru
Holy Eighties man! Is that a Jupiter 8? This is awesome my friend! I always love the spiritual songs in electronic music.

Thanks Cru.
It's a synth pack, part of the Magic sequencer that brings back 80's pop music memories for me, so the whole album had that synthwave feel to it. Loved it!
You are in a zone right now. Amazing analogue representations.
There is a CD set I have called OHM the early gurus electronic music (1948-1980). I think you would love it. It comes with a 96 page book on the history of electronic music (experimental) and really explains the genesis of what you are doing so craftily and expertly. It's 3 CD's from Thomas Ziegler and Jason Gross, on ellipsis arts. https://www.discogs.com/Various-OHM-The-Early-Gurus-Of-Electronic-Music/master/110524

"You are in a zone right now." - I must say that this is a very kind thing to say, and not the sort of reaction I expected from a recording like this. I didn't think that I was in much of a zone, musically, but perhaps this is how it feels? I have been playing out a bit, in the park, under the bridge, and whatever. Also stealing inspiration from random strangers that I meet. It's fun/scary/painful.
This is a super dark time, possibly it will peak on Monday with the solar eclipse/new moon... but it's been a tough mercury retrograde, especially these past several days. The smoke from BC and Washington is hitting us now as well... not to mention the barbecue competition two blocks away! Hopefully I can avoid being disorderly over there for the first time in years (ha ha).
The CD collection you brought up seems familiar, and also enticing. A lot of the artists are familiar. I will have to see what I can find. We do have a record store in town now, so maybe he'll have it, though I doubt it. He seems more into 80's pop/rock/metal. Though he didn't have queensryche "Operation Mindcrime" when I stopped in there a few weeks ago... go figure. I'll find both eventually! Thanks for the recommendation!
I appreciate you stopping by to give some love on youtube as well. Hopefully when my lungs clear up from the smoke and opium season, the recordings will get better. I have the individual tracks from that video as well, so hopefully I can mix a good quality audio of it... as opposed to my crap camera audio. Some of the spot effects were routed wrong, and didn't show up in that version, so I'll need to sort that as well.
Sounds from an era long gone now. I remember those snare fills were the bees knees back in the day. I like how you mixed it in sort of this bubble of sound. I don know if you remember the old MP3.com, but there was a band that made it out of the site and was signed from Switzerland called Nordbeat. This track reminds me of the trance the used to do using reason..
Anyhow, nice having you back!
Steve
Firstly thank you for the welcome, yes does have a yesterday feel about this one, still a enjoyable listen though, not heard of Nordbeat but will google later to see what I can find out about them, glad you enjoyed the listen my friend...peace n much respect...mosaic..
I know what you mean Cru!
When I named it it sounded a lot darker and the more I worked on it the livelier it got instead of darker still.
I didn't think to change it.
I do like it. My only complaint is that the side-chaining has bled into the vocals as well and that is a little distracting. correct that and it´s spectacular!
Cru
Thank you for the feedback, there was indeed some sidechaining applied on the vocals because back then I thought it sounded more "house-like". I've changed it now tho, so thanks again for your comment and I'm glad you liked the rest of it!
