BUMP!
I re-did the mix, see the update edit in original post. The lyrics have been PUMPED! =)

Paul- will email you back asap to discuss; I can certainly write some better material for the other section, rather than moving the freestyle (unless you really like it that much).

As for the album idea, all I've been saying for the past year is how I'd love to be able to collaborate with someone who really knows what they're doing music/recording-wise. Don't tease me now...

Paul/Jamester (Paul-Jam, As Curly would say?)...

Very, Very cool. I'd resisted listening because I felt that adding a vocal would ruin it - shows how limited my horizons are.

Great job - adding the rap gave the song some life, a bit of an edge and it takes it from being a great second level of consciousness thing to a much more - hey, listen to me (and you do) kind of deal.

Bravo to the both of you. I really do like this. Going to try it out on my kids as well.

Very cool. Love the groove.
Much Cheers.

Very cool, I really like the bass, tone and playing. The vocals are pretty cool too......for a white guy

ORIGINAL: Paul Russell

Hey James, maybe we should do a whole album like this

Yes you should!

nice over all track... just need to fill it out with more lyics... very soft feel... like up track reminds me of will smith feel... not my style maybe I just have to much anger hehe

Thanks so much for the feedback guys!

Paul's Nagraan-5 is so good, I just was hoping I didn't ruin it with the vocals. But I think it works. We are communicating about finishing it with more/different vocals, see how it comes out.

Manny, Jim, Thunderkyss-
Really apreciate the compliments; of course, I had nothing to do with the groove, but good to know the rhymes were accepted as part of it. I kick it tighty for a whitey! ;-)
Did you try it on the kids, Manny?

Duce-
Thanks for checking it out and being honest about what you think. It is a softer feel, but I felt it apropriate for the Hindi groove. It's just not an angry groove! haha... Still, I don't know about Will Smith - that's not cool! =) Going for more of a Digable Planets/Tribe Called Quest kinda thang.

Last night I busted a little freestyle over the first part, up until the breakdown around a minute and a half in. From there on, it's the same as before.

Some good rhymes in there and good flow too. If that's ad-libbed then I'm impressed. Please up load the original wavs and I'll extend the track so that it all goes in the right place.

Nice stuff James, way to go!

Thanks Steve! =)

Paul, it was half ad-libbed, so be half impressed. ;-)
I practiced over it a few times, wrote about half the lines down on a crib sheet, then recorded it, making sure to say the written lines in specific places.
