SMB - 'A Crust of Bread'

Well it's been a while, nice to be back with a new one for you ;

A Crust of Bread

Larry - piano, bass, synths, percussion, mixing
James - electric guitar

beautiful start. 


I really enjoyed listening to this tune. 

There are some pieces where the music just screams out the title at you and this is definitely one. More than a social statement, more than a plea for change, this is a demand for justice for the dispossessed. OK, you may have gathered by now I like it! And I never use a few words when a hundred will do!

Hi Guys, nice one, like it. Very athmospheric and cinematic. Excellent guitaring and playing all round.

This is really nice. I'm with Warren on the picture.
The line that separates the fortunate from the less so is surprisingly thin.
You guys were instrumental in preventing me from being the guy in the picture.
A crust of bread. When you can truly appreciate that, you see life on a whole new level.
Love the flute. It flits about like a bird. Like hope.
Yeah, this tune speaks to me. And that is what it's all about.
Well done, lads.

 
James, Larry - this is absolutely stunning gentlemen.
 
And as polished a production as you've ever delivered guys. Watch out James, I think Larry's after your chair at the mixing desk
 
As always, a complete pleasure to listen to an SMB masterpiece.
 
 
 
 
 

NICE!! The piano was great. Really good job panning everything on the mix to give it space. And that electric tone (and playing!) were sweet.

Really nice! Truely outstanding playing, arranging and what emotion.

Excellent work!

I love this!!!

+++1 song        something about that percussion bell hits in the mix


suggestion----- the hits need more air--space or something ---push them back --- competes to much with the playing flow of the guitar 

Excellent mix as always. You guys make good choices with your sounds, which I always think does half the work for you.

Piano sounds great. What are you guys using?

I was gonna ask the same thing when I heard the first few bars.

I dunno 'bout social statements having been ordered to lay off the pies recently, but I know a nice tune when I hear one.

It's nice to be back around and able to do a bit of participating and seeing a new SMB tune lying around was sure to bring up a bit of quality.

You guys sure deserve an award for achieving such consistent high standards.

Just beautiful, as everyone says.  And it's nice to see you guys around again finally.  :)  Larry needs to play the piano more...I really enjoyed that...and the whole thing.  

A sensitive ocean of melancholy containing choice ethereal delights.  (at least thats what I'm projecting into this)

Utterly lovely!!!

Thank you Ed, that's noice of you.

Paulo - I think you're right, chosing the tones carefully goes a long way to making mixdown  flow more easily. Thanks a lot.

Thanks Scotty! Funny, I didn't know Larry could play piano like that until a few weeks ago..we've only been playing together for four years!!

JB - many thanks, glad you dug it. Good to see you back with a great new mix too.
