Time Machine is one excellent song!

Everything is perfect, the mix, vocals, lyrics and backing tracks.

Bob, you have a knack for picking melodies and writing superb lyrics that you can sing flawlessly then finding the perfect backing tracks.

Two thumbs up.

Excellent mix. Everything sits just right.

Mr. Dean...

Your "Time Machine" is upfront, in-your-face and personal laugh! That rhythm, that rhythm, that RHYTHM! It's not just rhythm you feel -- it's a rhythm that feels you up! It's a motion-finder, a soul-sensor, a compass on the floor

with an arrow spin-ning back/
and forth/
to the beat/
so we can move and groove/
to the beat/
and move/
and groove/
and do it a-gain...

I think that your voice -- solo and in harmony -- is raw, urgent, and unrestrained, crooning a rocker's blues. It's a perfect counterpoint to the electricity of the guitars and the bass pulsing like a coded signal.

The lyrics are wildly imaginative as they FLASH scenes and meanings as rapidly as a kaleidoscope. The whole thing is classic, a rocker's fever-dream.

You treated us to a lot of sound and style, Mr. Dean. Rock on!

Hi Bob,

Another super cool throw-back from you. You have this genre mastered. I don't think anyone here does this better than you. Lyric, backing tracks and vocal - perfect prosody. I enjoyed the trip a lot! Best to you,

Alan

We're bit late on this and many of the accolades have already been offered.

We particularly agree with Tom's mention of how the write is poetic yet leaves the listener some dots to connect.

What struck us was how much the song reminded us of early Wilco. A vibe that we very much like.

Having said that your signature feel is still much present.

You have certainly started 2018 with a couple of great entries and we look forward to what's coming up.

Enjoyed it!

This song is brilliant! The lyrics are outstanding! I love how you use the phrase twice then once per verse. genius! And your vocal is simply so right in emotion and delivery and prosody.

And the mix is wide and so well done.

This song lands perfectly!

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."
