Sounds more like jazz than blues to me, its far too "happy" for blues ;)

But like the groove :)

I think you know by now the length. lol. I thought this had more of a reggae feel. even with a slight taste of ska, since, of course, the horns. If you throw a sax solo, you should have the bass play of off that. If you add keys, be careful not to crowd the space. The guitar already plays well, and the drums should stay back and just hold the groove. I like where this is going. I look forward to the finished piece man.

Uhhhh, I feel the summertime.. For some reason, and I am probably off base, but i feel Jack Johnson/G. Love/John Butler Trio feel. (I bet you have heard this guys, if not, CHECK EM OUT, You will dig)

Really good. Way better than I can do. lol.

It's hard to say man. It's short, but your use of space is good. Don't lose the space, it adds to your ambiance, in your favor.

Ohh and finally, 78 BPM... well, times that by 3/4, a 1/2? see what you can find? It might work. Go with your feel with samples, but then again, I feel like that guy who is giving financial advice but is always broke, because I am sucking with the looping.
And yah, this is one of the best tracks I have heard on looperman, AND you used loops from Looperman!

Elongate. That's all.

thats cool man... i see what u mean about the lead, sounded alrite anyway tho, i guess u explained it the best in your description.
i would recommend getting the full version of fl if u can, it would have been cool if u had been able to save this and make it a bit longer maybe (or at least it gives u more time to work on tracks), it can be quite versatile as long as ur prepared to put up with some tedious tweaking.
anyway, keep it up ur onto an interesting sound
peace

I agree with them it's too short !!!just when you start getting into it. Looking forward to hearing more of it when you got it where you want.

I agree with the other reviews. It's a good idea, just fill it in. It's much too short. Maybe add a bridge and a lead guitar in the middle and if you can sing add some voice.
It's really worth it.

Thank you. :) I hadn't even thought of adding vocals, though I'm comfortable singing. I guess it's all a matter of writing lyrics, now. :)

I totally agree. I have big plans for this, including a bridge, but I'm now limited to the musical skills (and free time) of my friends. 78 BMP is weird to find loops for.
