Did this one awhile back and have finally gotten to the final mix. This is my attempt at a dance song. Background music created using Cakewalk Kinetic 2. I play the guitars. Hope you enjoy. All constructive critique and comments  are always appreciated.

Ahhh casting stones... A pretty nasty way to go. Do my ears deceive me? Or do I hear guitars! They're all pretty wet, I may pick one and pull back some of the verb. But I don't want to B too much because you're playing guitar! Good job John. 
 
*p.s., you know Bob Dylan wrote a song recommending that everybody must get stoned? Not a very tolerant man...

Hi John, 
 
Sometimes there are two songs going on at the same time IMO!  I like that you are playing the guitars.  Maybe I need another cup of coffee!  All good fun.

The drums are certainly arpeggiated electronica, but I still don't think I'd call this a dance track.  I like your use of filters.  The song does get a little "rhythmically ambiguous" here and there, but overall I liked this one!  Nice work John.

Nice to hear you playing guitar John There's some clashing between the 2 leads here and there though, might be worth picking one and then trying a harmony to it?

Robbie, Just posted a new fix with some of the reverb off the piece. It did seem to make a bit of a difference, thank you. Also, as to being wet, it's a wet piece, so I don't want the guitars to dry. As for Dylan, well we all know about him and those days, he was a stoner for sure. Thanks for listening and for your comments, they are always appreciated and your humor as well.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

Walt, Thanks for listening and for your comments, they are always appreciated. As to being dance or not, it's a slow dance, a kind of bobbing thing, not slow and not fast, but more bob and weave. You could just stand in the middle of the dance floor and bob your head, that always looks exciting at a night club. HA!! Just kidding!! It was fun doing this one anyway. I have to try different things, just to get a better feel for additional genres. Glad you enjoyed this one over all. It was an experiment for me and an experience for others. Thanks again.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

Rimshot, Thanks for listening and for your comments, they are always appreciated. No, just one song and maybe you better have another pot of coffee, like me, I do love my coffee. You may notice, that in my music there are many different parts to each piece. Look at it this way, a play on stage has many different parts, yet it is one play. A movie has many different parts to it, yet it is one movie. Your body has many members, yet it is one body. My music has many parts to it, yet it is one piece of music. It's just the way I like to do my music. Guitar playing is fun! Now, back to that pot of coffee!!
 
Peace and Blessings, John

James, Thanks for listening and for the comments, they are always appreciated. As to the guitars, I lost the original tracks for this, so I had to hit it with Ozone 5 and did the best I could to bring some separation to the guitars, so it does sound a bit better now. I just hate loosing my original tracks, but what can I say. Thanks again.
 
Peace and Blessings, John
