Ember,
I`m happy I didn`t overreach by saying it was written with Bond in mind -thanks for your comments.

This "Spellbound" of yours sounds like something out of a dream, wholly created in the imagination. The lyrics are a kaleidoscope of riotous images and deliciously obscure meanings that swept me along on a ride through another reality. As "floydjane" commented, these are "lyrics that take one's mind to a million different places."

It's funny that you wrote that the song is "as close to a James Bond theme song write as I'll probably get", because as I was listening to it I envisioned a boldly colorful, surrealistically composed main title for a movie, such those created by the late Maurice Binder for many of the James Bond films.

Your RealTrack assembly is quite eclectic and offered up a fluid, yet funky rhythmic texture under a hypnotic and mystically harmonized melody.

This is imaginative, heady music-making , gentlemen! Where will you take us forum members next???

Dazzled,

LOREN


Loren,

I figured the Elephant Train line would be a"what`s that?" moment and left it in ( I believe its a Congolese cocktail served in place of James` martini).
Your reviews are awesome!! I feel honoured to have you describe your impressions of our song in your unique way.

Thanks for the positives, Joe!

Greg,
I think the all-electronic loops percussion is a first for me - I`m glad you liked it and
appreciate your support for our collaboration.

Very nice Bond's theme!
The atmosphere has come out very well.
Scott's guitar is always wonderful but it is much better than usual this time in this tune.
The collaboration between you two really works well.
Great use of loops and effects every time.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Thank you,Shigeki!

Verse one is worth the price of admission alone...wow!!!

It's all been mentioned but the production is outstanding -- different in a very good way. We love the percussion. And the vocal. And the guitar.

Cool to the max and, as always, thought provoking.

J&B

PS: And reading the lyric with the bom, bom? Well that's Bud's initials so we were even more locked in!





J&B,
That bom bom vocal thing was intended to sound more tribal than I made it... a bridge to far, but otherwise its good to have your approval on the song and especially the production.
Thank you for that swimming lady image!

This definitely has that dark mysterious Bond element. I enjoyed the dreamlike lyrics and they were very well sung. Scott adds a complimentary and atmospheric guitar to it that is just right. I enjoyed, Tom

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."

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:

Friday, March 29: 8-4
