You have a great voice.. And Janice had a great voice. You added your own distinct sound to this classic. Maybe it's a simple as imbibing too much southern comfort? I wouldn't know as I have an awful voice. But I do know I enjoy listening to your voice.

Love the Rhodes intro. The bass is nasty and dirty on this one. I see you have centered the drums in the mix the piano is a nice accompaniment and then becomes an electro piano. then the Mix widens perfectly with Sax and Piano (Grande) Nice stereo effects (white noise) (2:38) Sax and Pad end this nicely with some percussive effects. With a fading Piano.. Well done song evokes a nice mood.
Steve
I'm Listening to this (BTW great job) and I am thinking this is all in one key and one chord structure (Cminor).. If you could learn to create a chorus.That utilizes minor 7ths pads you would appeal to a larger audience. Like from CMinor to Ab major to Bb major and back to Cminor. BTW I love to solo in Cminor and Fminor so I may just record a wah wah g-tar solo for you one of these days if you like.
Steve
I am originally from Long Island and used to do pop electronic music until I had a colleague who used to frequent the seediest most debauched clubs in NYC and gave me a mix-tape of that music. changed my out-look on music. I moved with my Wife to her home-town of Montréal 4 years ago but still carry that deep-house attitude to my music and mixes and love it!
Glad you are apart of looperman
Steve
Wow I hope you realize what a breath of fresh air you are to this site because no one on here has done the re-creation of tribal house from NYC from the late nineties like you have done. Bravo
Most appreciated
Steve
I like this one..good intro (wave looks funky for the intro have you checked the DC offset on it?) And it leads to some cool wubba wubba d-step.
Good work
No I haven't ;p but it indeed looks funky, noticed when I uploaded it. Guess it is because it seems to be panned a bit to the right. Glad you liked ;) Thanks for leaving a comment crucethus
And to all the people saying this is not rock. this pulls back to the early days of rock-pop sounds of the fifties and the revival in the seventies. Ahh I love nostalgia songs like this. The influence is definitely rock & Roll. Great Job Bear
Steve.
Love the Intro! I agree with you Patrick..The Deep of the song is the emotive qualities invoked by the minimalist sounds of analogue synths..that's the trick and the secret to a good deep house tune (classical sense)
good work !

i really apppreciate your attempt , but as i told you it was by far different with what i meant to be composed for my song.
anyway thank you very much again .
What a voice(Best kept secret in C&C music factory),(reminds me of the days of youth) great mix. Such an old school feel and minimalistic approach I really liked this!
Steve
Nice Filtered bass tone on the intro.(Main basssline (the track's foundation) is recycled leftover slide resonator guitar detuned one octave to make a slide bass sound) Sinister start. It feels to me like a dixie jazz funeral procession with out the brass, but the nice eerie synth is cool. You have definitely created a mood with this tune. The bass work really defines and holds this tune together. Like the snare at 3:52. Break at 4:56 is cool..has a disjointed feel as if the whole song will just shatter into many pieces but then that guitar brings it back with some nice percussion. 5:50 is another nice interlude of creativity. The Piano is so subtle in this but nicely done. Also the way you recorded this one it has a live feel to it. 7:50 becomes very uplifting but briefly and then it's dark again.8:33 and 8:44 interesting acid sound. Nice slide starting at 9:08. 9:50 feels like it's morphing into another song. Holy crap..an ending!!
Very good work. I like the overall feel and presentation of this.
Yo. See my reply to MrWolf regarding bassline, which is the heartbeat of it all. The track only keeps extending cos I found other ways to work that resonator guitar bassline. Must try detuning and recycling more of my guitar playing like that.
Maybe a little like a Dixie jazz funeral though not as funereal - a bit more chilled and beautiful.
Eerie synth same as in Think Big Feel Small (last upload), Knee Deep In The Cosmic Overwhelm and others.
3:52 snare is switch to hip hop kit. That section is partly lifted from Way Beyond Wrong - possibly first track of mine you reviewed. This and that used to be the same track so share lots of instruments.
4:56 is my little dub organ. Also can be heard at 1:19.
5:15 second rock section. Had to bring that guitar playing and accented hat drum groove back as they break up the jazz nicely.
5:50 guitar starting to get jazzier and bluesier.
Yes, quite subtle piano here. Some is played, other little snippets are copied from the main synth that plays a sort of Rhodes role.
Yeah, don't think this sounds like it was made on a computer - sounds very acoustic and kind of like a live band.
7:38 though you might like the rapid dulcimer in this. Reminiscent of a particular, automatic hammering instrument (marxophone) used on a Portishead track (Orbital one too).
That dulcimer continues during the heavy section plus some big effects to create a strange, psychedelic bed.
Yes, 7:50 I guess it moves to major scale with the bass guitar. And we get a bit of violin to carry things over down over the drop back to that essential sitting jazz groove on 8:00.
I knew you'd pick out those short acid synth blasts. Instrument was just sitting on timeline but I like to put that sort of incongruity in a jazz track.
In the last couple of minutes it sort of is morphing into another song and I'm a bit embarrassed to admit I cut the end cool jam short just so I could fit whole thing on Looperman. I should probably extend it. Am tempted to make last 3 mins their own track. But I like the build from jazz to heavyish so don't want to remove that from the jazz track
Tough call to be made there.
Thanks for the thoughts, as always. See you for the next upload...
Tres Bien, I love how it builds on itself. Nobody uses those chorused guitar sounds any-more, and that's such a shame because they are hauntingly beautiful. As this song is beautiful especially at the piano break at 2:38 that is nice. Put me in a great mood this morning. Great Work Steve!

I apologize if I seem rude, But Imagine If I wrote a song for this site and I claimed it had Thors's Personal electric approval, Or Yahwehs' special blessing, Or Allahs intimate Fatawah, Or Mother Natures oblique platitude...or.. or it Resonates the earth’s Frequency. It might seem a bit much (arrogant) and a bit over the top. So I just point out the obvious flaws in logic (maybe to correct you in thinking you might have all the answers for us)..that is all...as I said. good chillout music...Nice musical composition...not vibrating any special energetic resonances that you can't measure my friend.
Peace and good meaning.
Ahh that You-Tube video made me laugh... so your a conspiricy-nut case then instead of a New-Age Nutcase.(or both) I am a rationalist and a science lover. show me evidence..not circumstantial and fantasy and paranoid delusion. Oh BTW the earths frequency would be lower than human ears perception. http://science1.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2001/ast19jan_1/
Peace
Is it chill...yes
is it a nice composition...yes
does it resonate the earth's frequency...no
As a music piece..it's very nice.
As a piece of new age propaganda..well...it's just that.
Steve
Hey you.
Just an Update. Struggling with your first song for a nice mix. But found a Muse in the second song. Will be uploading later this evening and will call the song Fesaga förspel. Which mixes your voice and string sounds over a massive Swedish house style mix with loops from Misgote and many more. It really kicks and I think you will like this.
Steve
Steve i'm thankfull for your attempt but to be honest they both were by far different with what i expect from your musical level and class !
i hope you don't mind if i'm honestly saying that i didn't underestand your music composed for my acapella s .
of course probably that's my problem .
anyway I'm a composer bymyself too , and i tried to compose something by myself and soon you'll hear what i have composed for that song of mine .
i really appreciate your attempt Steve .
thank you very much .

Although I can't find much resemblance (well, maybe a little bit in the chorus and the title itself)I must say I used to listen to Ultravox quite alot in the past. I remember beautiful "Vienna" and the long intro to "Visions In Blue" is still one of the most memorable favourites of mine...here it is...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpkasPwAtrQ
I listened....So original intro is almost like some Irish or Scottish influence, then it seems to have a Psy influence. It's different and sparse but I do like it.
