A new Pugtones instrumental tune. (new mix)

Niiiiiiiiiice and eeeeeeeeeeeeeassssy.

So mellow and classy.  Rich seasoned playing all over.
Song i can melt into. 
Stellar mix.    It's good to see a Pugtone song up again!

Mix sounds terrific, and the arrangement leaves a whole lot of spaces to shine.

One problem though:
the drums are too loud, and the beat is wrong in a few spots. I get where you were going with it, with the interesting timing hits on 8th and 16th notes, but it took me out of the mellow feeling a tune like this should give the listener. It felt like the drums were the front instrument, when at most they should be fourth. And the break at the end doesn't work at all. I thought the mp3 had run out!

That being said, well done, guys.

I agree with Rick's choice of the word "classy". This has a really nice vibe. Almost a little psychedelic in parts. I would bring up that bass geetar a tad!

Great work fellas!

Very cool guys... Great tones...
Drums seem a little spastic at times...
The sax tone is wonderful as is the bass and guitar,,,
Nice work...

Mark, I was just thinking about you a few minutes ago, wondering where you'd gone...and here you are again!  Sheesh--I just got caught up on my songs forum listening yesterday..or was it the day before...and I check in today and some of my favorites are here again!  Anyway, yeah, this is great.  It doesn't get much better than you three playing and it sounds like a great production.  :-)

Thanks everyone for the comments. I've put up a new mix - I'm not sure I don't have the bass up too high in this new one.

Janet - good to see you - it's good to be around again. I've been really busy. So, I haven't had much time to hang out here. We do have five or six new ones we are doing.

I'm going to make it around here a bit more - it's always easier for me to find time in the fall and winter.

See you soon.

I miss Clean's playful timbres in this ... wait I hear them more mid-way through!

Right channel may need more (in the pans) ... unless my ears are playing tricks.

Top notch collab ... way out of my league!  Wow!

Great Mellow Tune...for Relaxing.

Listening again... Sweet...

Classic PUGS effect on the percussion. Nice seperation of all the instruments. KUDOS on the super fine clean mix. Love the tones of the sax. I'm also digin the tone and how the bass sits in the mix. GREAT  JOB!

Hmmm...I'm sure I commented on this great tune
a couple of days ago. I guess I did something wrong

Anyway... Warren, Mark and Rich; outstanding song/performances and mix!

A really 'uptown' sound! Cool chord changes and great phrasing and tone from everyone.

Love it!

I'm listening to this through a karoake box at the back of an apartment building put out for the trash (it's come to that...sigh). Sounds good from here.
 
I liked your fade out. Just the right length.
 
I asked myself, "If I were standing in line at Chase Bank and this music were playing, would I think, "That music came from Cakewalk home studios!" or would I not think anything about it, just accept it as professional--well, it passed my bank line test.

Thanks to everyone for your comments.  Mark sent me this song prior to my ordeal with oral surgery.  Lord willing, I have another 2-1/2 weeks left before I can entertain the idea of playing sax again. 
 
Thanks to Mark and Warren for letting me contribute to this project.
 
Regards,
Rich

Hi there, the recording & mix is good. The effect and drum seems alittle awkward. Blessings
