cloud9mission said:

I went to you guys site a long time ago, scared me! I thought I was hearing Madhouse 2003 style. You sure yall aint NPG undercover trying to get some grassroot opinions ? No really? I sincerly love it. Great musicianship." Make love not war"..Thats my Jam and "Vapour"..I cant play bass like that, so I wont even try..but If you guys aint signed yet, its a matter of time when someone will.

You guys have all the bassses covered
1) creativity
2) great musicianship
3)originality
4)It is well mastered as well. Dang !

You are letting it just flow. I can hear that you guys really love the music you are playing and it shows. I can only imagine the Funk Faces as you guys are playing, UGLAY!!!..The uglier the better. Cause its good and ORIGINAL.

Love the artwork on your site as well...Thanks for all the love and respect peeps...but really, im just one opinion..

Word

this one snuck up on me...i had other thoughts for G's groove but by the end my head was bobbing...the begining (music theoretically speaking) had a very deceptive cadence...i love that Beau Hall 'special' crazy hook...good work guys.

Yep. That version was created from a CD, and my cd drive at work is a solid piece of crayola. I'll put the real thing online in a few minutes.

But hey - all this scandal has pushed the song to the top of the funk charts over at soundclick! Well. NUMBER TWO under Coldplay's "Yellow" (obviously somebody's pulling a fast one over there).

you ALWAYS have the appropriate emoticon! Too funny.

MAN! Looks like the whole org musician section has set up shop in that place!

I was just being a bitch that day, thought I'd give you some critisism back. Sorry, it doesn't really sound like prince too much. Definately influenced, but wannabee was harsh. Shame on me.

oooh. iwasthe69thpostonthisthreadooh.

Otan,

I'm really diggin' your stuff man. Nice vibe.

Brobyn,

I feel what you're sayin'. Also about Cloud 9, let's give the brother some props...that's not a band playin' that's one man doin' all of that.

Peace.

brobyn said:

awww shucks thankyou man. Thats one of the best reviews Ive had mate, comparing me to the genius that is the madhouse albums, wow! I hope your right about me getting signed, maybe one day . Im glad you like the production as that been one of my main concerns for the past few months (got some new equipment see ).

You are the 3rd person to actually get what Cloud9 Mission is all about. Letting it flow & hoping that others will follow my example. Not enough real music going on these days & I see what Im doing as a mission to change that. Not because my music is superior but just because I always put my heart & soul into every note of my tunes & I just hope that others will take inspiration from that. My funk face is daymn ugly lol

Thanx for the props man, do you have a tunes yourself??

Lewis

otan said:

Yeah Im thinking of doing it. I dont use mp3.com anymore but I use my mp3.com site to promote cloud9mission.com so I may use soundclick as another outlet, very cool service.

VenusAsABoy said:

Thanks a lot! I appreciate that.

Okay. I've put up one more version - THIS TIME with a bass guitar playing in there - but I think it might get muddy, since there's bass already in Funky's original version of Dreams. But, if you're not sick of the song by now, check out the latest iteration.

OK, we are famous!

Otan, we just hit the NUMBER ONE position at the Soundclick.com funk chart!!! Next step is to become number one at the bank!

funkaholic1972 said:

Dude congratulations. There you go. Controversy sells, everytime. All the bs that went on about this song drove it. And the quality of the material. How's your remix coming? Did you hear it with the live bass? I can send you the wav if you want it...

Can I be your groupie?

Soundclick = great tool.

Sounds good guys. Hey how come FunkyBoy doesn't get any credit up on there ;-?

Red said:

How old are you? And what are your sizes?
Red, I would be proud to have you as our first groupie!
Mmm, or should that be:

Red said:

Yep, very cool site!

Red said:

An old wisdom says "You get what you deserve".

Seriously, all I did was just provide a nice groove, on which Beau build the actual song. He was the one that came up with the brilliant and ever so catchy "nevergonnaletyoumakemehatemyselfagain" chorus!!!

funkaholic1972 said:

Hey NOW! I DID put the credit up there!
Click on the Lyrics/Story - it says words/music Beau Hall/Gregory. I don't know his last name! Ain't my fault!!

Just heard this track and this is great stuff. I hope there's enough Otan to go around because I'm still wanting to do something with ya man .

Oh yeah, just clicked on 'music'...duh.

So O...are you getting any feedback from peeps out there in clickland? Curious

Red said:

Not a peep. But I tried the "contact" link on my page, and it doesn't work... so if folks WERE trying to contact me, it wouldn't get through.

I'll put a direct email link in there somewhere I spose. I've tried to figure out an actual NUMBER of plays, but can't find it anywhere. It would be nice to know how many times the song has been played...

But it doesn't matter. Once Gregory's done his mix, I'll take the same tracks to a dj friend of mine here in ATL and get him to turn it into something for the clubs, and then I'll bribe Groovement into getting the song on some radio stations here in town. I honestly do think the song has potential.

And Psychosoul - I'm still cooking your song. The lyrics aren't coming as easy because of the arrangement. The patterns go something like, 8 A's and 2 B's, then 12 A's - I'n not exactly sure. Because of the long period between changes, I'm having a hard time putting the "Beau Lyrics" touch on them (you know, verse chorus verse chorus chorus chorus).

Right now, all I've got is "I hope you're happy". I don't know where it's going. I've been coming back to it about every other week trying to figure out what's going on in my head. It'll come out soon.

I would love to. No problem.

otan said:

It's Geoffrey!!!

VinaBlue said:

Oh damn that's bad, ain't it?

SORRY. DON'T KILL ME MAN! I just updated it. Org me your last name so people know who to make the checks out to.
