Description : Old school Funk merging 70s and 80s styles. Only keys are midi. The beat is from an 80s Roland CR-8000 which I am using quite frequently nowadays. The rest is straight in.Let me know what you think any comments appreciated.

*Just added a slightly rearranged version and worked a bit on the sound issue*

I also think it's a nice job you've done there. Very classically interesting, soulful and varied. It reminds me at times very much of good old soul recordings from the days of Shaft and the like. Then in another moment it slips into the slightly jazzy. Good work! Greetings Manuela

Very funky! It sounds like you but a lot of time and effort to make this funky song. It's like a funk salad. You got a lot of cool funky things in this one like the Rhodes and the Clav, or was the clav a funky guitar? Anyway, it's funky. Well done.

Lovely sounds man. I recognise the Roland, I have something similar although right now it's broken and catching dust.
Some nice references to a lot of funky 70s songs :)

Thank you BaoBou for your comment! I am just working on the mix which is quite annoying to me as I am not a technical person in this respect and do a little bit of new arrangement. I still have an old Korg Vocooder which needs to be repaired as well as an MS 10. I think its worth it those god old analoge machines are awesome.Great that you recognized my influence from back in the days :).

Description : 'Love will find you at the right time'...This track is about how we vibrationally attract love. From my recollection, in the early 20s/teen years, a typical place to encounter this wonderful force was the Disco. (Kay)

Description : Continuing my journey with sampling. This was mostly an accident, and not where I originally thought it would go but I'm happy with the destination. I started with the track Real Reel Switcher by Eunice Russ Frost, which has a slower melancholy swing to it, however I've been playing a bunch of older video games lately, with SSX being in the mix heavily, so this track ended up taking on a bit of that for inspiration as well. Would love your thoughts.

Description : Updated 12/2/2022. This is an interesting redo of a funky and fun composition. I gave it more polish by switching to a different drum kit, swapped the flute solo for a synth, then infused more flavor into the guitars, bass and organ. Then lastly tweaking the final master. Can you tell the difference? Let me know. Enjoy.
