OP PeterF Veteran Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 5,644 Sydney Australia	Welcome To The Anthropocene A cautionary tale straight out of the headlines (The Geology Times). Hope we pronounced it correctly. Anthropocene: "relating to or denoting the current geological age, viewed as the period during which human activity has been the dominant influence on climate and the environment." Leon- Vocals and Lyrics Once again we are privileged to have Janice Merritt sing backing vocals I played the guitars Mark Douthit played the hot Real Track Sax and did some interesting growls at the end of his solos The Band: RealTracks in style: 2429:Bass, Electric, NewOrleansMardiGras Ev16 085 RealTracks in style: 2431:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm NewOrleansMardiGrasKevin Ev16 085 RealTracks in song: 1955:Sax, Alto, Soloist TexasBluesRockSlow12-8Mark Sw 060 RealDrums in style: NewOrleansMardiGras16ths^01-a: Snare Groove , b: 4 and Hat ******************* Welcome to the Anthropocene Welcome to the Anthropocene Could this be the greatest epoch there has ever been? Say goodbye to the good old Holocene Welcome to the Anthropocene The great acceleration All the indicators on the rise A time for songs and jubilation Though that greenhouse thing did come as a surprise I know we lost a frog or two And a couple of Gorillas But there are plenty more in zoos To tantalise and thrill us And how about the great pacific vortex? What a marvel that is to behold All those tiny little plastic bits, twice as big as Texas Other oceans got ‘em too, I’m told Welcome to the Anthropocene Could this be the greatest epoch there has ever been? Say goodbye to the good old Holocene Welcome to the Anthropocene Particulates and what not, drifting through the air And nitrogen and phosphorus, aluminium and oil; Poke around enough I guess you’ll find ‘em all down there And just a little hint of radiation in the soil But take a look at good old spaceship earth She may be blowing smoke but there are light years on the clock Ignore the crazy talk about some crisis that is looming There’s plenty more for you and me to dig out of this rock Welcome to the Anthropocene Could this be the greatest epoch there has ever been? Say goodbye to the good old Holocene Welcome to the Anthropocene Oh yea, welcome to the Anthropocene Could this be the greatest epoch there has ever been? Say goodbye to the good old Holocene Welcome to the Anthropocene Last edited by PeterF; 07/12/18 02:53 AM.

Very cool song, love the groove. Sax is awesome! Love your guitar work too, right in the pocket, and trading licks with the sax works really well. The addition of Janice really works, blends well with Leons vocal. Nice one! Dave Blue Attitude Website Blue Attitude YouTube channel

Could this be the start of an exciting new musical trend? That said, this offering can certainly stand tall in that ever-expanding catalog. Nice arrangement, good lyrics, well sung. Plus, ah-loo-min-ee-um! -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

First Leon’s vocal was just excellent. He has a great story telling voice kind of like Floyd. Janice’s background vocal were So complimentary. There two voice blend so well together That sax was a nice touch. Your playing off the Sax licks was so well done. Your solo was excellent as well. Loved the tone growly and gritty Perfect for the song Well done Scott Collingwood https://soundcloud.com/scottt709 https://soundcloud.com/spiritlevel-ca https://www.youtube.com/@SpiritLevel-ge3hm/

Lots of good lines - I really like these: But take a look at good old spaceship earth She may be blowing smoke but there are light years on the clock Ignore the crazy talk about some crisis that is looming There’s plenty more for you and me to dig out of this rock The sax/guitar combination at the end sounds great. Fun and educational at the same time! Robert

Leon and Janice nailed the vocals - no surprise there. I doubt there's a subject about which a song cannot be written!Very original! The piano track was one of the best I've heard from Real Tracks. I struggle with them - they're either too thin, too muddy or too muted - even after a good massage. Great listen - thanks!

Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer. It's called the Heineken Maneuver. 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
