Wow, this a great track! I find myself drawn to the drum beats especially, and those filter sweeps sound great! Excellent playing on every instrument here! I can't pick out anything that I would change in the mix! Great work! Best of luck with your release!

Diggin this one Steve!....Man I think you've got new strings on that bass of yours,there's a great high end chime coming through on top of the growl....Super track,I don't know if it's the track description and I'm politically hallucinating but there's this African tenure running through it,got to be the poly rhythms maybe....I'll leave other people to comment on the mix,I just dig what's going on..this is way progressive,it's like a chemical reaction..it's on fire! lol..bloody creative groove that makes you want to invest in a pork pie hat factory......many of the great musical styles have come out of the UK..dare I say this is one more!...cheers Dave :)

Hi Dave, I just called it that because of what's going down in north Africa. I'm mean't to be going to Morocco at Easter lol... We might be embraced or stoned, who knows. I'm glad you enjoyed the track, it's not quite finished though. I need to add a few things to make it complete. The main thing is to let the thing breath, sit on looperman and let people comment. I keep coming back to it and if I hear something to add or take out I will do it, if and when I don't by my April deadline, it stays as it is and is committed to the final cd track list and pressed. Exciting times working towards this deadline. I thank you for your continuing support and friendship..

Cheers, Slap...

This music has a fiery force. I've seen that is not yet finished. There are several moments in which I think would look good choirs (as in Pennsylvania 65000 or a voice like One Step Beyond). It's a touch that I have sent my brain, but I think also the theme song it deserves.

SLAPJOHNSON replied Unknown
Hi Vicen, That's a valed point! A vocal hook is a cool idea and I thank you for your input. It's a pity one step beyond has been used lol... Awesome sax track, and it was that very song that made want to start playing..

Cheers, Slap...

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.
