Wonderful strings. The rhythm of the saxophone, is devilish as I like. A great track, full of rhythm and color (especially with the horns section). Sounds great.

You can definitely blow some sax. Was that some rotary breathing or did you just hold that note that long? Great track.

Always, and yet impressive, and always of course, with great pleasure that I listen to your track .... Great success.

A wonderful piece. Wonderful sax and synthesizer. A large sound stage. My congratulations.

Hi Vicen, I'm pleased you like this track as it's Alexander's first proper track. More will be following soon...
Cheers, Slap...

Never used an Ipad but I've seen them....technology never ceases to amaze me....Well chaps I can see(hear)the emergence of Alexander's own sound happening and it's a very cool thing to behold indeed..love the phrasing,filthy bass line and signature Saxophony but the synth playing floored me..wow!....Look,if this is an indicator of whats to come,is there any chance I can buy some shares now! lol...Quite apart from enjoying this very groovy music,it's a privilege(not trying to sound soppy here,but it's true) to witness the growth that's happening within your musical family.....one day in an interview you'll be reminiscing about tracks such as this one....FDUB! (fair dinkum unfuc*ing believable) Dave :)

SLAPJOHNSON replied Unknown

Now then Dave, hows the epic track coming along with the Geoff Boycott narrative lol.. The world of ipad and apps especially for music related projects is pretty vast mate. The two Alexander used on this track were just scratching the surface, time permitting over the next week we should have this whole album in the can and finally mixed and ready for pressing. I have to thank you for your continuing support on so many levels, your wise words mean a lot to us both. Edinburgh best look out when Saxobones arrive in town from August 5th....

Cheers, Slap...

Hey Slap, imagine if we had this technology when we were kids just getting into music....... Sounds like the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree, way to go guys, sounds great. You never seem to disappoint!!

SLAPJOHNSON replied Unknown

Hi Wayne, I wonder how far technology will have advanced when Alexander reaches my age! Ipad is an awesome piece of kit which can cater for all interests due to it's extensive apps. I would have loved to have one of these when I was younger, but alas I had to make do with Pacman! lol...

Love it Slap,really good stuff,great production. Your son is one heck of a musician. I am so tempted to get an ipad, it's so darn versatile!

SLAPJOHNSON replied Unknown

Hi Peres, I've had an ipad for a while now but very rarely have chance to use it due to Alexander or my wife who are always using it. These apps are awesome and not expensive which is a bonus seeing how much the ipad costs, but it was a worthy purchase. I would buy another if I could lol....

Only the backing keys are a bit louder for my taste but, all in all this is a great track. Kudos guys.

I am not a follower "Funk " but I can tell you here that I was really pleasantly caught in this whirlwind pace. Maybe in your view, there is certainly room for improvement, but for me, this work already resulted ....

Hi VD, I'm glad you dig even though it's not your bag!
I am also pleased you think this mix is crack!

Nice tune. I like the harmonica very much and the sax. I just have one suggestion, maybe the beats could sound a bit stronger...

SLAPJOHNSON replied Unknown

Hi RitsLong, I will look into making the beats more beefy... It all depends on your system. I mixed this through wharfedales..

Very Pro stuff going on Slap....My listening days started back when every band wanted a sax player (I`m admitting my age) so my ears are still tuned to the good sounds...This one is really well done so was pleasurable listening over her in Canada tonight (I am originally from just across the pond a few miles from you...N Ireland)...Might be some wear on my ears, but I`d bring the vocal up just a touch....well done...Ed

SLAPJOHNSON replied Unknown

Hi TW, thanks for bumping up the vocals tip as I was thinking the same thing and you confirmed it so it's done.

Cheers, Slap...

Let me know when you have some more stuff up..

Hi Mack, thanks for the positive vibe towards the track. I would be over listening to your stuff right now if the school I work at would allow me to listen to streamed music, but alas they don't!

This is a really catchy tune! The part with the lyrics reminds me of Ween, which is a good thing! Awesome beats! Really good solos too! That harmonica sound very cool! I don't have any suggestions for you because this song sounds finished to me. Faved for sure!

SLAPJOHNSON replied Unknown

Hi Spiv,
I wanted something catchy, so if you approve then that's cool. Getting the mix right is always personnel preference but I feel I need to invest in some flat response speakers soon. I will put them on the list if we sell enough cds...

Amazing, totally reminds me of a 70s american cop movie. Loving the sounds your getting of that Sax too, Maybe a tad more volume for that deliciously Sqweely guitar solo... other than that its sweet!

Definately a favourite for me
