No more monkey business

Heck yeah, the bridge works! :)
 
Really great song, the effects aren't in your face, the only place I really notice them is in the vocal break at the end and it's not in your face, so yeah, they work really well. I really dig the bassline and how it plays around the melody and with the horns. This is a great tune and a great arrangement, thanks for this!

Thank you for your thoughts, Kevin! Glad you liked the bassline!

Hi Lasse,
 
That was fun! You obviously have a penchant for arranging... Nice work
 
I also listened to March of Mars... Is that your original arrangement? I enjoyed that one too
 
cheers

Thanks synkrotron, glad you liked it! Yes, March of Mars is my original arrangement. I wrote it back in -99 but wanted to record it with proper sounding orchestra sounds now, so a lot of duplicating of synth and live violins...

No monkeying around on this one. Nice clean mix. I liked the nice airy feeling it has! Nice!

Being a member of The Forum Monkeys I just had to listen.
 
Very interesting song. I'd only say the keys may just be a tad too high in the mix.
 
Love the chorus.

 
Thanks Bapu for your forum Monkey entry!
You got a point, the keys probably cover everything else a little too much. I wanted a fat synth key sound and the level got raised instead of... well compressed maybe?
 
Really glad you digged the chorus!

Thank you Starrise! I'm happy you liked it!

Oh yeah, kind of reminds me of Barry Manilow's Copacabna. And I mean that in a good way. Very Retro.
 

I take that as a compliment! I added a tape emulator on the master to get a more warmer, analog feeling. Maybe that helped too to get the retro style, other than the trumpet section.

Thank you Kane, I'm glad you liked it!

I just listened again - love it. Is that you playing the violin solo?

excellent Leizer - really quirky and I love quirky. 

 
Thanks for listening and glad you don't find it too mainstream.

Thanks again Daryl! Appreciated! Yes, it's me playing the violin (& the bass, all the singing and the different synth parts). Violin is my main instrument so I try hard to get it in every song I can... ;)

Excellent. I am still listening to the song daily.

Leizer,
 
This is a fun song with a bright & fun instramental track. I think the arrangement matches the spirit of the song rather well. I really like the bubbling synth part in the interstitium between the electric piano chords.
 
My main crit is that the vocal needs to be a little louder during the verses.
 
Cool stuff,

That was a trip...     Bananas, absolutely bananas.  
 
Nice quirky pop song with a suitable arrangement and mix.   I think I'll be hearing that bananas line in my head for a while.  
 

Excellent and fun song Leizer......really enjoyed your violin playing (as well as the rest). Would love to hear more violin compositions....hint...hint....
 
Very nicely mixed too....bravo!!

nice song writing and big production!  My only crit is the lower vocal harmony following lead vocal all the way, not sure that's really needed, sounds fine, just don't think it's needed.  really fantastic work!
