Walmart calls BOTH OF US! I apologize for not giving you the big wet kiss you felt you so richly deserved. Sometimes people will say "hey great job! I loved it!", sometimes people will say, "I liked it, but then give comments about the mix", sometimes people will say, "this wasn't my favorite from you", and sometimes people will say, "get off your lazy rear and listen and comment on something other than what you have done!" It makes none of them wrong or right? It's all subjective, it is all opinion? Why is it so difficult for you to see the intrinsic logic in this?

HEY robby, give Paul a break here...

Want to "steam off". I can send you misses x-Mountainman's phone number.

Breathe... yoga-style

So what is REALLY funny is the fact that;

1. HAHA You freak out when I call you on the fact that you have 385 posts and "zerrrrrrro" on ANY music other than you own. Which is my right to say.

2. You respond with righteous indignation, and state that "oh I'm sorry, I didn't know there was a songs forum" LOL! And oh! I'm gonna contribute and say good things about a bunch of music, just you wait and see! LOL!

3. You've responded STILL to nothing, you've contributed STILL to nothing, other than a large negative connotation probably from the majority of others here who work hard to create music, and also listen and comment on others music. So my original assessment stands "correct". And you continue to prove my points. Amazing!

My last post on this thread, let’s see who else bumps it ;-)

Paul,

Great track, I think the sounds you use are perfect and it has inspired me to pull out my Project 5 Power! book this weekend and look again at this great software, I have been concentrating on Sonar 7 PE for months now but I think P5 rewired may get me quicker to the sounds in my head. (It's the voices in the head you have to watch out for, right? lol ) Some great arps in there, did you use the P5 arps?

Robby, what happened there mate, to quote Dave Gilmore, "Take a breath, take a deep breath, now"

Peace, Love and Understanding

Garry Kiosk

Thanks Garry! Your feedback is greatly appreciated

Project 5 is, IMO, the best software for midi/vst production which is a thought shared on the P5 forum. Unfortunately, it's future is not clear at present but you should definately investigate further. It's speed of workflow is incredible and just so logical.

The ARP is courtesy of Sylenth1.... it's a straightforward 'up arp' so nothing too fancy.

Peace indeed.

Bestest, Paul

It is best when confronted with something unpleasant is to take the higher ground publicly and then go into your sound proof vocal booth and scream.

That's a fair point. Rest assured I don't normally stoop down to someone else's level like that.

Thanks for the listen! Glad you liked it

Hi there Paul

Definitely getting a Kraftwerk/Depeche Mode vibe here.

The recording is excellent and the mix sounds superb on my system.

Good work indeed

Steve

Paul
As I stated in the P5 forumn........I really liked this track.so much so that I had to go searching for Kraftwork music last night....
You really done good here............and
WELCOME to the songs forumn............we look forward to haveing your talent with us here.........

Cliff

Your welcome!
I was able to pick up Kraftwork's Min - Max dbl CD.....now all I need to do is open it !!!!!!!



Cliff

Thanks Rodney! Glad the production/mix is up to scratch too..... that bit seems to take the longest!

Enjoy your cd's Cliff.... electronica doesn't get any bettr than that

Bestest, Paul

Nice tune,

I don't get the Kraftwerk comparison though.

I associate that band with a stronger rhythmic pulse while this tune seems more melody based.

I would suggest that a die-hard Kraftwerk fan might immediately sense a difference and as such I'd suggest you work towards focusing your vision of what you are into rather than assuming that because it uses similar orchestration that it should be compared to Kraftwerk on that basis.

Does that make any sense?

best,

It doesn't sound as much like Kraftwerk at the beginning as it does after about 1:05 (where the "blues" riff comes in). I'm sure he doesn't want to do a pure impersonation, but certainly the beat and the "robot voice" are very Kraftwerk-like.

Thanks for the listen guys... glad you liked it!

Mike/Robert - your comments are fair. This track is not a complete Kraftwerk emulation. There are elements of Gary Numan and Depeche Mode too IMO. If i wanted to re-create a Kraftwerk track entirely i would have done a cover version of one of their originals. So i guess this is a mashed-up early 80's electro track..... but, if there is one single artist in particular with whom this is similar, I would say Kraftwerk. Not that i'm for one moment suggesting that this is anywhere near their standard

AJ_0000 - they rule indeed mate!!

Thanks again for taking the time to comment.... it shows that you guys 'listen hard'

The mix sounded real good to me. I think you did an excellent job.
And yes, I would say "Kraftwerk Style"
This talk about Kraftwerk just goes to show how unique and recognizable and influential their music was.
They certainly did have some great melodies, chord changes, riffs. ("ComputerLove=Coldplay-"Talk")
Good Mix.

Thanks mate.... very welcome indeed

I couldn't agree more about Kraftwerk's infulence.... you could argue that they are responsible for shaping modern-day electronic dance music. Infact all electro dance music!

Mr Jarre and Tangerine Dream never had a real 'dance feel' in the mid/late 70's, only Kraftwerk had that.
