Who could say it better? Wow!! I do hear the trippiness of Gabriel, the texture of Floyd, and the theatrical quality of Steinman. I would add, that after they meet, the drop some acid, and THEN make the record. Love it!! Take care. Greg

Happy new year, David

As many others said, I also heard Bowie in this tune.
What an excellent rock opera type write!
Very unique but also very orthodoxy as a rock tune.
It is so nice the descent chromatic line, D - C# - C - B on Pedal Point of G.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best wishes for this year.

Shigeki Adachi

Reminded me of Scary Monsters. I wrote very Bowie like, and then saw the style! :-) Great work.

Thank you so much Lambada!

It is funny you mentioned the "Bowie" style. Sometimes I make up my own styles and this was one of them.

So glad you liked it. Thanks again!!

That's quite a production -- I know so little about Bowie but this fits with everything I do know...

Enjoyed my listen.

Thanks Charlie!!

Know so little about Bowie, well...

I think "Ground Control to Major Tom..." and "The 70s?...I don't remember the 70s." (My Favorite Bowie quote) pretty much sums it up. What else is there to know???

Sounds great David! Huge sound and it kind of reminds me of a Zep tune. You just keep rollin' them out one after another which is a good thing. Thanks, Torrey.

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
