Wow, this has to win the award for diversity in RT usage. I don't know how you made that work, but you did. The beat took equal stage with the melody, that was an interesting effect on my brain. Nice work! Howdy, TM ... Thanks for the listen. Yeah, I experimented with quite a few different tracks. I ran across that flute per chance ... sure glad I did! It;s actually a background track, but I've found many of them also work quite well as lead instruments. The acoustic and nylon guitar tracks are really useful in that capacity. I figured a lot of folks would look at the track composition and say "What the ...!" But, I like experimenting and sometimes it works out. Thanks again and best to you ... Alan

Thanx a lot Alan, you have turned me into a bobble head! Not only was my head bobbing my toes were a tapping!
This sounds like something that Herbie Mann would play in the late 60's or early 70's.
Everything about this is perfect!
Hey Bobblehead #2 ... go are you? I'm delighted you gave this s test run. Sometimes ya just go with the muse ... otherwise she'll smack ya around a bit! I had a lot of fun putting this together ... about three days of work on this one ... quite a bit of time for me. Best to you ... Alan

Very successful combination of synth pop, modern bossanova and jazzy flute. I didn't know about that flute RT, it plays lovely melody. And the selected RD works perfectly for the pop mood. Enjoyable chord progression with a bit of melancholy. Sounds like a theme music for a nostalgic police TV series.
Janne Hello Janne ... It;'s always a pleasure to hear from you. I'm delighted you enjoyed your listen. the chord progression is pretty simple, but sometimes that works better than those fancy ones. Best to you ... Alan

Alan,
That was awesome.
It is so good that I forgot to listen with an intent to write about what was happening. I truly ended up JUST LISTENING.
I don't think I could give an instrumental a better compliment than THAT.
A great listen.
fj Hello Floyd ... Thank you very much for the wonderful compliment. It truly means a lot. I was concerned if the backing tracks would carry enough of the song that the flute wouldn't become monotonous. I ran across it per chance. Glad I did! Again, many heartfelt thanks . Wishing you the very best ... Alan

"Exotic, Mysterious, Casual, Provocative, Quirky, Subdued Energy, and Happy."
Wow, I'd likely get hung on any two of those and never finish.
WTG re great use of BiaB AND capturing the feel of the description.
Cinematic? In spades.
A cool intriguing listen indeed.
J&B Hey Guys! Don't sell yourselves short .. you probably would have come up something even better than this. You two have more talent than should legal for just two folks. But I sure do appreciate those very kind words! All the best ... Alan

Alan,
Ditto on what TuneMonger said . . . really creative and eclectic collection of Real Tracks to create this song. I think you also hit a home run in orchestrating something that truly reflects all five of the emotions you were trying to convey. Really well done!
All my best,
Deej

That was a nice ride. And I say that because I envisioned this as the music for a car commercial or scene where the characters are tripping in a car. Outstanding production! Thanks so much. I appreciate those very nice comments. Glad you enjoyed it! best to you ... Alan

Oh wow! a lot going on here. Wide range of stuff and yet it all works perfectly. Perfect!
Mike B. Hi Mike ... I was hoping you might take a listen to this one. With you being a great musical composer, your opinion always means a lot. So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for letting me know! Best to you ... Alan

'Al-David'... ' Bobblehead', huh? Cute title  !!! Music for 'a lighter James Bond', you say? Hmmm... Well, yeah, maybe, but I'd say it reminds me more of the kind of so-called 'lounge music' one would hear in slickly-produced Italian 'B'-movies of the 60's and 70's, such as 1967's Grand Slam starring Edward G. Robinson, Janet Leigh, and an international cast (meaning all dialogue for the Italian, Spanish, German, and Swiss actors was dubbed in monotoned English  !!!), with a musical score by Ennio Morricone. Listening your to your composition, it was easy to envision a scene in which the tre chic, handsome male lead (Alain Delon? Jean Paul Belmondo?) attempts to seduce some blonde, spangly-dressed 'pretty, young thing' on a crowded dance floor in a swanky Brazilian nightclub patronized by the most 'upper' of the upper crust. They do the 'The Pony', and 'The Frug', and whatever, while moving closer, even closer to each other as they dance, and just as their moist lips meet in a prolonged, passionate kiss, we cut to the obligatory, but G-rated love scene in the darkly sumptuous bedroom of his smartly-designed apartment overlooking the moonlit Copacabana Beach at Rio de Janiero !!! 'Al-David', you really set a mood with a groove that 'set the scene' (for me, at least) in your irresistibly danceable and sexy composition, Bobblehead . By the way, which athlete's likeness was reproduced in the bobblehead figure that frames your Soundcloud post? LOREN Hi Loren ... It's always a real treat to read your comments and reviews. Your suggestions for a placement for this song are good. BTW, Edward G. Robinson was one of my favorite actors from back in the 1950s and through the 60s. The lounge scene, with all that follows would be a really good scene to wrap this song around. Thank you so much for the kind and well-thought comments. The bobblehead in the song graphic is Jimmy Rollins, former second baseman for the Philadelphia Phillies. Being from St. Louis, I'm a cardinals fan. But that bobblehead looked better than any of the others I could find. Best to you ... ALan

Very evocative, well produced and nicely melodic.
Clever and intriguing.
Peter High Peter ... Thank you for the listen and very nice comments. Love your "provocative" and "melodic" annotations as that was what i was hoping to achieve. Wishing you the very best ... Alan

All my best,
Deej Hello DeeJ ... Thank you so much for the very nice words. Sure do appreciate them! I just used the tracks that sounded good as I listened ... no specific intent to use those specific tracks as I started to put this together ... just trial and error. Thank you so much for the very nice review. Best to you ... ALan

I like this one a lot.
It felt like a ride around town on a early spring morning... with a bobblehead on the dash keeping time.

Nice play with the melody and some interesting chord changes that add nice unexpected turns.
Thanks for sharing.

I've had convertibles almost all my life and love riding around wit the top down. I think a bobblehead on the dash might be the right touch! Thanks again. Best to you ... Alan
