Wow!  My first day back on the forum in a few months and here's a dynamite new instrumental from my old buddies, Bapsi and James (and Ron?)!
 
Fantastic work, guys, I love all of the interesting twists and turns in this one,  although the complete stop at around the 4 minute mark made me think it was over until the surprise ending kicked in.
 
James guitar work and tone is super as usual.  Ed's tasty bass and keys sound great with Ron's drums, and the current mix sounds warm, full and nicely balanced.
 
Super stuff, guys, it's really great to hear that the forum is still kicking out high quality original music! 
 
Have a great weekend!
Bob

Hey Bob, thanks for the thoughtful reply.
 
Ron was the drummer I played with for about 5 years in a sequential string of three bands.
 
You'll be hearing more from him on these "JamPu" jam joints.

Hey Fellas ,
 
Yes I like this tune & collab
There is some very energetic playing going on with all the instruments and parts.
Listened on headphones & I enjoyed what I heard ...no mix crits right now ...
I like when James lets loose Baps sounds good , and I did like and enjoy the sound of the drums ..
 
Sure hope you guys get together some more to do a bunch more music along these lines .
 
all the best,
 
Kenny

This deserves a bump.  I was hoping for lyrics, but wasn't left unsatisfied.

Finally got around to listening to Summer Rain... I was watching the comments and felt it was better for me to wait until a "finished" mix was up as I would not have been able to bring anything to the party on that score anyways.
 
Great tune, as I pretty much expected... Nice and heavy in places... Loved the last section
 
Mix sounded good to my ears on my Tannoy Reveals... Going back for a second listen
 
cheers

Thanks again folks!

Way cool colab!!! Nice work to all!  Guitar is a rockin.  I like the funky synth thrown in there!!
 
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks the comment. I love that synth James did too.

This would have been a hit back in the days of "Telstar" and The Ventures.  It's very melodic and well arranged, and I didn't want it to end.  How many more tricks do you have up your sleeves?

Nice tune.  I have to agree with a lot of the postings here regarding balance.  However, the drum tone sounds great here.
 
Come on Ed!  You're playing that 4003 great!  Let's hear it with a little more punch!  I think your tone on it is very  classic.  I like it!

Fanks mate.

I have an old drummer mate I've always enjoyed working with too whenever I could. He was just 19 when he first started working with me during the early 80's. There's nothing like real drums. They sound good to me, and the tune was interesting.
