Description : A Global Ska Network song with a truly global collaboration quality. This track features Planet on jazz bass and Bilbozo on guitar and hammond organ.The song has a total of 24 individual tracks (nine piece horn section,mutiple rhythm and lead guitar tracks using various effects,percussion,cymbals, 4 vocals ect). I just love the way the track knits together with Dave & Bill's parts just slotting straight in. The track is 6mins in length, which is long for me, I normally have things finished at around the 3-4 minute mark, but this track just came out like that, so I hope you dig the arrangement. I have to thank Dave & Bill for their input into this song, and for wanting to get involved in the GSN project. Please feel free to comment on any aspect of the track. This is the first mix of the song, so if you feel a remix is in order, please feel free to say what needs to be changed, and I will endeavour reach perfection.
Drums by Sonic foundry, Slap on vocals,horns,guitars, Dave (Planet) Bass, Bill (Bilbozo) lead guitar and hammond. Recorded in ableton live using line 6 tone port ux2....

Cheers Slap...

Ahh..I can see that Bill and I will have to get a pork pie hat each! lol....Great singing!..it's really interesting to get in early on the production process and then see what develops...this piece has a lot of influences in it..Bill's guitar lends a very interesting almost psychedelic vibe so this technically could be Skadelic music!..hehe..I think we're going to have to clone you if we ever want to play live..the drums are great on this track,sometimes one of the trickiest things to get right.......sounds great..mixing 24 tracks is a huge task!.....great stuff man cheers Dave :)

Real nice thing here guys! Very busy piece I must admit, this made me feel as if I was right there amongst a crowd of people, and everyone was swaying their arms in unison with the music!, Dreadlocks, brightly colored hand made woolen ponchos, and the air filled with the smoke of their religion! and not one single negative vibe in the whole place! Life IS! for the Living!

Description : Sincere apologies for this nonsense. Started out as a home school project with the kids but they refused to sing or write lyrics so had to use bastardised nursery rhymes.
