Description : EDIT: you can download the full album for free http://mrwolf14.bandcamp.com ....... EDIT 19.Feb 2015: according to the inputs from StaticNomad I have removed one "theme". I have also changed the drums (little edit still needed, e.g. the hi-hat in the middle section is a bit too high). Thanks Guys! .......
Second song from my collection. This is actually the second pella I downloaded from Looperman, hence it has to be the second song on my list.
A previous mix was already uploaded here and probably some of you have already heard it, so it's nothing new.
Based on a GREAT vocal hook by Farisha: https://www.looperman.com/acapellas/detail/4337/walk-away-hook-short-by-farishamusic-120bpm-pop-acapella
All the rest played and programmed by your humble MrWolf.
As usual, any input on how to improve this is more than welcome.

Hey, this is awesome! StaticNomad and those like him were just not there when the shit went down, so they cannot understand. This is so early nineties, and it's awesome. Makes me look forward to the cure live that I will see in June. We love the music you do, deep and wide. Heavy and heart-full. Love it! Faved!
Nice piece, great guitar, even nicer vocals, Farisha has one stunning voice, nice easy beat that works nicely with the guitar and vocals, great track, enjoyed the listen...Fav...Peace n Respect...Mosaic...
A real beauty here, Domenico. Everything meshes nicely. All your playing is superb and I love the vocals. Always look forward to your additions to the LM community.
Aw gosh your bass, Domenico !... Loved every second of that melancholy, bluesy, blissful listening.
So good to get back here, savour such beautiful moments and feel like a very lucky one...

Lots of excellent instrument playing in this but my big complaint, not for the first time, is with the drums. More on that later. Praise first, criticism later.
Farish's vocals here are, as always, excellent. Probably something to do with her being a damn fine vocalist...
I think your initial piano part starts things off well and neatly fits her vocal. Then some quality lead guitar work, with some good bends. A good slow rock intro before the vocal.
Bass has your usual good sound and fluid movement.
2:29-2:42 I would suggest removing. It's the third time we've heard pretty much the same lead guitar part. It's good but I don't think good enough to be heard three times in 2.5 minutes. Just go straight from 2:29 into the 2:42 part of the solo.
So, the drums. Guitar, bass and keys all really sound like they're playing together ie in the same sort of physical space. But the drums really don't and sound kind of like a backing demo track. They're really lacking power and punch and they also maybe have too much reverb or something on them. The playing/programming is OK and works well enough but they just sound too weak to really drive the track the way they could/should.
You're again using the EZ kit (Funk?) I don't much like so that's probably part of the problem. How many EZ kits do you have?
Try EQing, stereo widening the drums etc. Anything to make them more powerful and sound like they're playing in the same space as the other instruments. The drums also don't push the guitar in the solo, as they could do to help make the guitar playing seem more powerful and exciting.
Otherwise, it's really a good piece of music.
As always: if you love these drums, ignore everything I have written.
Hi MrNomad,
Thanks for the detailed comment and for your hints.
- removing the gtr theme at 2:29... good idea! I liked the theme a lot, but it doesn't have to be repeated so much.
- drums... what to say... I am the first one not liking them so much. I started with the Funkmaster kit (which I normally like) and then decided to take a snare from the MetalMachine kit, to give it more power.
Didn't turn out well... :-(
I will try to replace it with a different kit.
Maybe the "rock-solid" one could work here... need to try.
Kinda reminds me of Bad Company in the beginning, which is never a bad thing. :) Vocals sit nice in the mix and work well with the music. Over all a solid Rock Track. I enjoyed it. Nice job.
Bad Company? I have to admit that I almost don't know them... I liked Free though, so they should not be too bad :-)
Thanks a lot for the kind words!
Ciao, Domenico

Description : This is my newest creation, at a stage very near to completion. No third-party mastering or mixing, as with all my tracks. Just have to fix a few tiny things. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MIX EVERYTHING IN THE SAME SESSION. This song has all human-played instruments - no quantization or MIDI! My brother does all the vocals except for the interlude part, which I do. My other brother plays the rhythm guitar (a Gibson Les Paul Custom - only one of 12 in the world!!) and I play the accompanying guitar (a Johnny Mar Jag and PRS). He has a lot of guitars :P A good friend of ours, Ronnie, plays the bass and another friend, Freddie, plays the drums. The drum track was done in one take (had to use an electric drum set due to time constraints - but acoustic kits are so much better). Overall, pretty satisfied with the result. Let me know your thoughts.
Description : Feel free to check out the lyrics video on YT as well :) This is a new track based on the great vocals by Ashes and Dreams! Again, a mix of electronic/progressive/rock, any feedback is welcome
Description : The first track I sing on. Cheap stage mic & no fancy plugins. Heavily guitar laden to the point it's got a bit of a shoegaze thing going on. I pulled the lyrics out of my ass & yes, they're a bit silly.
Description : BIG UPDATE 26/02/2014 - So, this was an 18 min track that I have now successfully split in two. 2nd half I uploaded a few weeks ago (Things That Should Always Be, with the bouncy 2 min reggae intro). This is the first half, which has a new mix, a mega chill, meditative ending and a little jazz thrown in for good measure. Takes a few minutes for beat to really kick in. Constantly evolving electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic drums and lead banjo driven by fat, busy 80BPM grooves with a bit of a reggae and shuffle feel. Also: synth choir voices, dulcimer, violin, cello, shimmering pads. Builds up gradually to nice and rocking and then gets taken back down for the big comedown chill. I really don't know what sort of genre this is except 'far out'. I think it sounds more like a live band than one guy playing instruments and manipulating a DAW. Not my best track but a bit of blissful, sunny island fun. Real positive vibe here so I hope you give it a chance to unfold and unfurl. Sit back, clear your schedule and immerse yourself in these trippy sonic experiments cooked up deep in my off-planet underground laboratory. I have to send the MP3 to Earth via space courier (not cheap).
Description : This is the 2nd cover of Big Audio Dynamite i done With my freind John. We both fan of the band so we decided to do a challenge and produce a serie of covers. we done 4 in one month. each track got it proper video check my youtube channel indiegroundvid
Description : In the 1700's the Comanche Indians became known as the Lords of the Southern Plains. The Comanche ruled a region that stretched across New Mexico, Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado and deep into the Texas Panhandle. The most feared and savage warriors of all the tribes of the old West.
Many believe their spirits still ride the night wind here.
Some Willie G style picking to a buffalo skin drum beat.
Nice piece, great guitar, even nicer vocals, Farisha has one stunning voice, nice easy beat that works nicely with the guitar and vocals, great track, enjoyed the listen...Fav...Peace n Respect...Mosaic...
The whole track was inspired by Farisha's hook: she has a wonderful voice.

I am reworking the drums (first edited version already uploaded).
