OP RnAM Veteran Joined: May 2014 Posts: 4,052 The Netherlands	Here's one of my solo projects: Many of my songs are 80s inspired, this one in particular. (since nostalgia is kinda in fashion at the moment on the forum ;-)) You'll be hearing influences of artists such as: David Bowie. And the pre-chorus sounds a little like C(ock) Robin (sorry 'bout the parens, but the name was censored by PG ) and my all-time 80s favorite: Talk Talk (which is particularly audible at 2.11). For the video (among other things) I used to beautiful DAZ 3d model Jayda. Anne-Marie helped editing the video. Any comments are welcome. Style is PROGROK2.STY (Progressive Rock 2 - Ev.8 Rock) RealTracks in song: 511:Guitar, Electric, Soloist Dire Ev 140 RealDrums: RockHardEven8^5-a:Sidestick, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride Kontakt instruments: Clean Guitar, ShortNoise, Bass Station We are Rob Meulman and Anne-Marie Bovenkamp from The Netherlands. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1gsdNLE7_Gy8qavoOplQow/videos http://rnam.net/

This is awesome, though -- I really really love the chorus, super sing-alongable. The outra guitar solo killer too. And so is the video!!! Ok, I'll stop now -- but great job!!! Will - PG Music

(and very 80's sounding) Enjoyed it. fj 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

Your vocal is so smoothly good on this and the video very creative. Several listens. Robert

You certainly have a distinctive style that is immediately familiar and easy to listen to and smooth. Nicely done. You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

The clean guitars of interlude are very pleasant. Your soft vocal and the production are stunning. Enjoyed my listen a lot. Best Regards. Shigeki Adachi

Took me straight back to the 80's and this reminds me of Vince Clark and some of his more accessible songs, as Will has said. Great video as I have come to expect. Well done, both, AGAIN!!!

receder Journeyman Joined: Nov 2014 Posts: 577 North Yorkshire, England	Rob, Wow, what a great job you have done to capture the sound of the 80s! Your vocal always impresses and this is no different. I listened a few times and just wrote down a few thoughts that came into my head-- - Chorus - very Bowie'esque vocals - General vocal sound - Also reminded me of Morten Harket (Aha) - Love the minimalist backing with the airy synth and strong drum/synth bass beat. Erasure and Talk Talk came to mind. - Video was a perfect fit for the song (well done to you and Ann-Marie for this). - "Dire" guitar solo ending was unexpected and very enjoyable (must look up that RT myself). Great job, Jez BIAB 2022 UltraPAK, CbB, Studio One 5 Pro, Fender USA Tele, Harley Benton Fusion & others.
