Hey - good reply. The noise isn't too big a deal here. I just tend to point this sort of thing out in reviews in case the person making it hasn't noticed.

I've uploaded tracks that had a really obvious need for some parts to be EQd and noise removed but no one said a thing! So I tend to point it out as I know in the past I've been in denial about it and other problems being there.

Anyway, you will definitely want to check out Calexico - excellent group. I'd recommend the albums Black Light and Feast Of Wire and make a friendly bet that you will love them.

As regards you writing "a lot of Latin/spaghetti western/southwestern styles of music", my music theory and knowledge of harmony or chords is awful. I've never studied any Asian or Middle Eastern music but it comes out quite naturally in me. I think it's when I start doing semitone or tritone stuff - to stop it being discordant or too evil-sounding I find the notes that seem to work and that often comes out as Eastern sounding.

Maybe, somehow, there's something you do that makes the Latin/spaghetti western/southwestern naturally come out. Not sure if that's using A minor. Probably something else as well.

Anyway, cool track so keep it up.

sounds dm good to me Wayne....def western vibe but with that blues feel....there is something to be said about keeping the mixes basic/a bit sparce (something I forget to do often)...it sure does let each instrument play its part effectively in the mix....and you have a nice clean mix going here....great job....Ed

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that you're a big fan of Calexico. I am too.

I don't really think of this track as blues - more the Calexico kind of western/desert/Mexican/Spanish kind of atmospheric, moody and melodic vibe.

Definitely perfect soundtrack music for any sort of Western or anything set in a North American desert. Or could be fun to use this on a soundtrack for an American or Mexican travelling in an African or Asian desert.

Cool guitar and simple movement of the drums. Only complaint is that there's too much noise on the track. Maybe you could find a way to remove it. But the noise doesn't interfere too much with the enjoyment of the piece as I can still hear everything clearly.

Took me a while to find a song of yours I hadn't listened to! This one is fantastic, and is very much your style! I really like the tone on the bass! The overall mix sounds very good too! Great work!

This sounds professional, really good

I can't believe I haven't listened to this piece before. It is fantastic. Love the slightly western feel to it. The track is all around beautiful.

I love this track.. it feels like it should be on the score to a Tarrantino or Rodriguez film... Dusk Till Dawn part awesome ^.^

sweet tune, reminds me of the game red dead redemption
good job

Man, what a beautiful waltz with a desert touch and tumble weeds.
It's Quentin all over and I guess Bill better watch out, Beatrix Kiddo wants to get even.
I love the heavy bass and the song – an instant fav. Excellent work, my friend.

I remember this from some time ago - the spanish flavour is very nice!

very nice sound bed. I like the pacing of the intervals & the interaction between the guitars, including the bass. well thought out.

lovely chilled track. very spaghetti western. nice work.

Hey Wayne

Man this track is beautiful, just like your description, it fits well to this track, guitar is sensational, read vocals that Elaine had done for you, they sound so good for this track, friend please let me know when you have vocal version done as I would love to hear that, again this track is up with your very high standards Wayne, man I do have long way to go yet, but talent like you drives me to keep improving,as always Wayne thank you for sharing your talent, always a pleasure to the ears listening to your gems...Peace my good friend...Estefano....Instant Fav mate...

this has an aasaasin cowboy vibe to it(thats my up and coming screenplay)when i hear this track it sounds like a guy whats to change his lfe around but has to go on a carzy gun blazing jouney before he finds peace.

PEACE LOVE AND TECHNOFOREVER

Damn dude, you are very talented.
Listening to this I pictured my self in a cantina on a lazy sunday afternoon having a spot of sangria, and then someone dusty came through the swinging doors and gave me the stink eye. Recognising that hostilites were to shortly break out, I reached for my gun - when I realised that it was the cat walking into the room and was asking for a treat or a scratch ( where did the cat pick up that dust ??? , and that sumbrero ? )
Great track :)

I had to laugh at your response to JFW - I've had a mandolin built in the 1800's for about 20 years now, and I play mostly Sub-Saharan blues riffs on the thing, or I play it so it sounds like it's from the Ganges Delta. My balalaika only wants me to pick its strings! I'm thinking that instruments have their own "spirit" and the best music is finding their Voices and songs they "want" to sing. This is great stuff - I definitely hear how some hear an Ennio Morricone sound behind it, which personally I'd like to hear more often! Really nice work!

Well this is the first track of yours that didn't create some entity moving through some environment in my mind. This time, it's just chill. Kind of like in the bar during the day, when the music IS more sober. This is also very QT.

Nice work!

(edit - argh! grammar. cheers bro)

Hi Wayne,
Thanks for steering me here. I just listened to this tune and I like the sound of it. I also appreciate JFW for recommending it to you.
I gave somewhat of a review of this song here when I replied to your review of my tune.

There is another 'Spanish' song in my profile I did you may like. It is called 'El Nino-Latin-Spanish'.

I will get around to listening to some of your other songs soon as well.....as I am at work now!

Later and keep 'em coming.
Randy

Great stuff. Blues? again, you have a catchy Spanish motif on this. This is very Ennio Morricone ( the good, the bad and the ugly etc ). There is a guy on Looperman ( Randall822 ) who does stuff like this - check out his track "Western Showdown" I think you'll like it. Cheers.

LOL, I thought kinda' hot sultry spanish night was invoked, until I read the French Kid's review, oh yeah spaghetti western for sure, guns at noon. A nice little track, enjoyed it!

Like this track.It has some spaghetti western feel to it.Very nice
Cheers
French Kid
