If living now in the 90s, I would buy all CDs by this guy immediately. Catchy pop rock music with excellent lyrics and superb singing. Just few highlights of this wonderful wordsmith: "Maybe life is just worn-out tyres/Spinning out on fading desires/Try to steer, but we lose control/Drift apart while paying the toll." "I’ve learned that losing ain’t the end/It’s just the way the broken mend/The things I lost, they taught me clear — You can’t go back, but you can steer." Great selection of instruments, those guitars create an enjoyable foundation for the song. The lead vocal has rust and worn out feel, the backing vocals are soft, all making the listening experience full of real life. The mix is pleasantly airy, sounding fresh and healthy in this world of ultraprocessed fat. Classic hit material that shouldn't be forgotten. Janne

Ginchy, Mario! Superb job, Mario. That sax sounds GREAT, and I like the strat tones/licks on the Casio. Nice band, the BiaB piano sounds great, too. Bowzer would be proud.

Very cool indeed, Andrew! Especially liked the bullet point sound. Very creative! Nice arrangement, instrument choices and playing throughout. The bass duet is stunning, nice innovation. That last chorus is very cool, ALMOST coming off the rails but staying grounded. Super vocals, harmonies and BGVs. ANOTHER shiny pop gem... I worked the last third of my career in a business where bullet points were essential, and every idea had to be expressed in a one page PowerPoint slide. It was mind numbing, but it did force a real focus on the SO WHAT...

Super song and performances, you two. Could feel myself swaying to the rhythm of the song. It's very UPLIFTING, though in an understated sort of way. Really nice production and mix, too. Everything the two of you do is SO golden... Fun video, too. Especially liked the performance clips. Surprised by Jolene's mic orientation, which makes it looks like she's singing into the top of the capsule. But...she sound GREAT here as always, so what do I know? (A: Nothing at all) Very nice!

Mindless, but no matter, beautiful thoughts from the sixth dimension. Cool sounds, wonderful play, nice effects, excellent mix. I'm floating in the orbit of the planet Mario and the view is mesmerizing, harmonious music in unique colors, the creator of this world knows what heaven sounds like. The BIAB style should be renamed to "Planet Mario Space Ballad"  Janne

Very good rocker, I like how you and Dave shred your days away So many flames and carefree play on the porch that I hope it won't burn down  Dave's once again amazing and your bass and vocals are not creaking, but fresh as a 60s teenager brought to us by a time machine. Keep on rocking the chair! Janne

what i'm grappling to understand is why some folks dislike rb while various people like it ? om, this is why this user doesn't use rb. Back in 2022 you personally tried to help me get started with it. We both failed, we both gave up and the tech support here for rb was nearly non-existent. I then found Studio One, their support was/is great and it's been smooth sailing ever since. Do you remember this thread? Could there be a lesson here? https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=95124&Number=702255

Rob. what i'm grappling to understand is why some folks dislike rb while various people like it ? maybe it IS familiarity. i find it such a breeze useing rb with reaper. and rb complements reaps in sooo many ways...useing advantages of each. which is why i dont need the bb daw plugin in reaper. the combo of rb and reaper gives me many more advantages. so i wonder if more pg rb vids as well as example projects say with other daws like reaper would help folks realise there are many benefits of rb with another daw.... ie...rb complementing the other daw. so where does bb come in ? what i think bb is good at is say getting a song idea down fast because of generation speed. but for heavy lifting then i take the rough song idea bb project into rb where i'm spoilt for numbers of tracks and audio/midi features. i prolly will use bb tracks view once audio/midi features like in rb tracks view are implemented. bottom line i would like to see pg put out more info/vids on use of rb which i'm sure would help new and existing users not getting frustrated...ie work methods showing laying down a song from start to finish.... (btw...for some reason i cant explain i think the mp3 creator in rb is fab.) i should mention when i first came to powertracks and then rb i found the number of features daunting ...there was a learning cycle. but i kept at it until i had worked out how to use them. as ive said before to get the best out of rb ya gotta be willing to go thru a learning cycle and get stuck in. i really think pg could ameliorate such by vids/much more info. btw after many years useing both bb and rb (and even reaper) i smack myself that i discovered some feature thats daw life...lol. happiness. om

Shigeki Adachi, It's great to be able to hear your BIAB version first. The live band version follows it well - and adds shine. Your players are excellent. Tsuyoshi Tamada does a wonderful vocal. Very nice strings. Good mix. Very enjoyable listen. fj

Everything that needs to be done off-stage is literally done off stage. It doesn't take much imagination to see how much more a professional a band appears on stage. They also can sound far more versatile and pro-level without anything being obvious to the audience. A programmed keyboard located at the sound board, activated by the soundman, who doesn't even have to know how to play it, can push the right button at the right time. There are many opportunities having such a setup. I had never heard of this "trick" . . . pretty cool!

Hi Bob and Joliz, Wow, another great song! Favorite verse out of many good ones: "The dawn comes soft and golden Like forgiveness in disguise I still trace your constellation Across the morning sky" Great hearing you play guitar on this too BTW. And I really enjoyed your video! Nice watching you and Joliz do your thing.

Hi All, Here’s a new folk-pop song from us - this is called Drift Too Far. We've also been having some fun working on music videos. It’s almost like a lifeline A hidden bridge in the sky It’s visible when I fade from day And it stays all of the night Everybody’s rushing And if they only knew I’m just trying not to Drift too far from you I caught the silver hour Falling through the blinds The city whispers a lullaby To quiet down my mind Everybody’s rushing And if they only knew I’m just trying not to Drift too far from you The dawn comes soft and golden Like forgiveness in disguise I still trace your constellation Across the morning sky Everybody’s rushing And if they only knew I’m just trying not to Drift too far from you I’m just trying not to Drift too far from you I’m just trying not to Drift too far from you BIAB Tracks: 1190: Bass, Electric, ModernRnB 2975: Vocal Oohs-Aahs, Pop RealDrums: AmericanaRoots16th Other Notes: Bob Mic: Logitech Blue Yeti Bob Vocals: Logic Pro Bob: 1970’s Silvertone Electric Bob: Martin D-18 Joliz Mic: Audio Technica AT2020USB+ Joliz Vocals: GarageBand Waves Vocal Rider: All Vocals Pre-Production: Track Editing GarageBand & Logic Pro Izotope Nectar 3 Elements for Vocals Izotope Plasma for Instrument Tracks Processing Final Track Mix & Master: Logic Pro & Izotope Ozone 11 As always - thanks for listening!
