Cool sounding track Will! When that organ comes in it really ties everything together! Keep up the good work! Thanks, Torrey

Hey Will,
Just catching up on some current songs.

I have to admit, I'm not a fan of the genre but this is well done.
I'm listening on studio monitors.
My impression is the bass is a a bit over powering.

Yes, a very cool tune. It has an air of mystery about it with an underlying tension that keeps my ears perked.

Interesting.
The bottom end is pretty well reggae correct.
The sax threw me though... LA 80s wailing over reggae doesn't work for me.

Not sure this worked but experimentation is a good thing. Good job pushing the envelope, where would we be if musicians like you didn't do that?

Will,
fun arrangement, well mixed. Easy listen. Reminded me of a modern version of Sunny (B.Hebb) that I heard one day on radio, but since never heard it again. Thank you for sharing.

Right from the start I was hooked on the feel. Conga & bass --a favorite combination. Then you brought in the alto --another fav. Great build right through, Will. [Whenever I hear someone say the bass is too loud, I think they're saying turn it up.]


Enjoy whatever happens!

Thanks a lot to all of you for listening! I'm really sorry for this late response - I had some personal issues that took my attention away from music for a couple of weeks. Please know that I appreciate all of your messages.

Interesting!

The RealTrack to a faster tempo adds a lot of vibrato for the poor sax player! wink

Thanks for posting!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hi Will ...

IU always love listening to what people come up with when they experiment in the many vaults of BIAB goodies. This is an unusual mix of styles that I enjoyed. Reminds me of something you might hear in the background of a James Bond movie when he's in some little dive in an obscure out of the way place some where in the world.

Musical experimentation is a good thing. I like what you sis here. Best to you ...

Alan

Will, it is a cool jam. I loved that thumping bass, the percussion, and the B3. I'm not sold on the sax as it sounds out of place to me. I believe something more laid back might fit better. BUT that is only my opinion and others may or may not agree with me.

The mix was very good; that had to be a big challenge!

Hello Will,

Very cool tune.
I didn't notice reggae until the organ came in.
I think it's a tremendous arrangement.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.
