Dylan fronting OMD?
I really like this though the drums sound a) like they're in a different room,(reverb setting), and b) from a different genre.
The intro sounds like the Krull soundtrack or some OMD swells and does seem a little "tacked on". Hi Ray, Thanks for the review - pleased that you liked it. As to the drums, I only used one reverb setting for everything on this track. As I said in the OP, I'm not sure what the genre is, so you could be right! Cheers, ROG.

Nice one, ROG. Vocal is indeed a bit Dylanish. I'm in the camp who think Dylan is a truly great singer, by the way, so take it as a compliment  Hi Leon, Many thanks for the review and particularly the Dylan comment - it made my day! Chhers, ROG.

It sounds a lot more like ROG than Dylan to us And there ain't nuthin' wrong with that! Janice liked the melody in particular. We are always amazed at you folks who can sit down with all the tech goodies and put together an entire band on your own. Waaaaay above our pay grade! The poker theme was cool. Cool vocal and instrumental performances all the way! J&B

Rog you put that Oberheim VSTi to excellent work. Super sounds.
Yes your vocal does bring up a Dylan comparison. Excellent vocal and mix.
Two thumbs up. Hi Mario, I always value your opinion - many thanks for the listen and review. Cheers, ROG

I think the dating game and poker have a lot in common- I got lucky and drew the queen of hearts! Many thanks for looking in again. Cheers, ROG.

Very good lyrics, really like the theme, I have written one similar casino of life -type of song, bit sadder though. I like the optimistic title.
Has nice 80's feel, reminding me Drive by The Cars and OMD, as Ray mentioned. Good sounds and nice solo in the end. Enjoyed the fragile but still confident singing.

Janne Hi Janne, Many thanks for giving it a listen - much appreciated. Always liked the Cars, so pleased with that reference and also the "fragile but confident singing" - more than happy with that description. Cheers, ROG.

I like those synths. Nice work. It's amazing at times how a simple sound can inspire a song. It's kinda like magic when that happens and it's so cool to be in the process and watch it unfold into a completed song.
It reminds me of an 80's hard rock band ballad. Not a bad thing.
Good Job ROG, Herb said exactly what I was thinking! Those Oberheim sounds are amazing! It's a catchy memorable melody that stays with you! Thanks, Torrey

I like the general outline on this.
The piano seems to dry and the vocals a bit too wet though.
A tasty bit.

Thanks, Torrey Hi Torrey, The Oberheim VSTi is remarkably like the real thing and has some wonderful vintage patches which I remember from years back. Many thanks for the listen and review.

Hi Cap'n, On the first mix the vocals sounded too dry, so I increased the reverb a bit - maybe a bit too much! Thanks for looking in and for the review. Cheers, ROG

Very cool intro Roger. Excellent backtrack. Got a little Tom Petty vibe on this. Excellent backtrack. Super vocal. Well done

Hi Rog,
Nice job on the music and the vocals. Your song kind of has a Howard Jones feel to it. It's like at any moment I'm waiting for you to bust out with "No one ever is to blame"! Thanks for the brief trip back to the 80's...

Thanks for the brief trip back to the 80's... Hi Bawb, The Howard Jones comment isn't one I've had before, but I'm quite happy with it! I can't help revisiting the 80s from time to time. Many thanks for the listen and review. Cheers, ROG

Sorry I am late to the fiesta.
Loved the big synth opening . Song has a nice cadenced pulse throughout which is pleasing to my ear. When the DX7 made it's appearence I thought I was going to hear Roger Voudouris instead of Rog from York however I was very happy with your Dylanesque delivery. I mean that as a compliment. Wow a real life DX7 and the Ober VST sounded good as well.
It is a good write , both music and lyrics, which I very much enjoyed.
cheers
Gary

Gary Hi Gary, Pleased that you enjoyed it. It was a treat being able to use the DX7 - you forget how good they are until you play one again and how heavy they are until you try to lift one! I never had an Oberheim, but I've used one in the past and the VSTi which I have is a good approximation of the original. So many thanks for the listen and positive comments - much appreciated. Cheers, ROG

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."
