This recording is from around October last year. It's a rough draft of a tune I wrote. My friend Chris is on Keyboard, and we've basically just mapped out the timing and chord pattern in a hurry and jammed it.I know this is low quality recording , and sounds terrible, so this is just the embryo.
Shortly after this loose jam all our equipment was stolen. Last week we dragged out the 4 track tape to refresh our memeory. Burnt it, ripped to Mp3 and here it is, in all it's imperfections.
Counter-Attack
We've finally got some more equipment, and the process of building the piece will resume now.
Some negative feedback would be greatly appreciated,
Any way please have a listen.The general structure is there, we'll redo the whole thing, add a solo, and figure what to do with the keys, drums etc. Any feedback is appreciated .Thanks!

I've always wondered what your music sounded like.

Positive, I enjoy the minor vibe and the keyboardists sounds as good as do you. I know from listening to the other song that you guys are like a Pink Floyd hybrid developing some new kind of melodic minor music and I can't wait to hear more. I mean don't walk, run to the music store and get whatever you need to record more.

You asked for negative, this is just a little too repetitive for me. (I know its an idea in progress but it wants to go somewhere else, IMO. Then it's a variation of a Lenny Kravitiz tune "Little Girls Eyes" (off of the 5 album) with a slight variation at the end. Drums need work.

Thanks for listening Slave2daGroove and your comments . Yeh this is a loose draft, which probably is kinda silly to post about, but its been so long getting back to a point where I can get things happening musically that I couldn't help myself.

I like the moody tone with minor keys.
I wasn't aware of Lenny's song ,"Little Girls Eyes", and appreciate you mentioning that it's similar.

Work in progress, and who knows what the tune will sound like after recording it properly. I suppose this is just a count through of the bars and a rough map of the changes.
I'm looking forward to getting it finished and working with Chris a lot more this year.He's a hard guy to pin down, working 9 to 5, busking for a couple of hours in the City on his way home, which he's done for around 15 years now as a regular . He's got 6 kids, plays piano in a nice restaurant friday evenings, is a featured player in the City Square here in Melbourne every saturday night; and I love him.
Thanks again for your positivity, and hey! I like your avatar.

cool stuff Flux!
I especially like that intro...

Sorry to hear about the trials and tribulations you've gone thru
with your equipment but I'm glad you're rebuilding...

Keep it up!

It's got real possibilities. It's got a Jimi Hendrix vibe to it. Just add a nice guitar melody over it.

cool vibe

Thanks Styles, FrankAxtell, & talmuzic for having a listen.

FrankAxtell :

Yeh Frank, I'm trying to imitate Jimi's simple hammering technique.It's not quite as simple as I first thought.
I had a listen to your performance at the Street Painting festival which Kelly posted a link to last night. Really sophisticated jazz/rock. You guy's are really tight and work of each others playing very intuitively. Then I had a listen to that Bach classical piece I downloaded from here before christmas.The years of hard work certainly have paid off. Inspirational!

Jshua, I love your music. Thanks for the props.

talmuzic, I've gotta revisit your Music, and familiarise myself.
There's so much cool Music being posted it's hard to keep up !

Guy's your comments are priceless to me, we all need encouragement, much appreciation to you all.

By adding the melody and some other details this could be absolutely great!
