It´s a few months ago since I worked on a new piece. Thisone I started working last summer, but after a while of listlessnes and a lack of motivation I continued the work and finished it the past couple of days.
Intenionally I had some vox / chant in my mind but then I decided to leave it as an instrumental (as usual) .
Hope you enjoy.

It feels like cruising,..
Traveling,..by train/car/boat,..
Like repetitive movements
Or in the somewhat bigger context: live is like a travel,..
And this piece of music i  associate with that.
Thanx good job

Nice Bass, interesting tones and notes - ULI style
Sounds a little over compressed, or it may be just the drums over compressed come to think of it.
It's very complete, you did well putting it together -  you must have put a lot of work into it.

The only thing I would consider changing is the the Lead keyboard sound, and slighly less effect on the rhythm guitar.

Well done U.L.I. :    -  Great work

Loved the bass sound.
The melodic line was a bit messy which made me lose the hook in some points.
I really like the way you mix those synth sounds. It gives it a kinda '80-ish vibe to the music which I really enjoy. Also I like the fusion influences here.

Hey guys, thanks for your comments.

@ Volt: Glad you´re associating the same as I do and that you like it.

@ Denis: I´m usually using moderate compression ratios (2:1-3:1). But the drumkit I chose is called "Dry Kit".
And that´s how it sounds: very tight and dry. Perhaps is this the reason for your "overcompressed" imprerssion.
Yes, the rhythm git: I´m also not completely happy with the sound and I think about playing it again without effects. It sounded great when I recorded it and as long there were only drums and bass as a backing group. But the more complex the piece becomes the less the git fits the allover sound.

@ Iszil: Seems I´m the man for the "80s-revival-sounds". Actually it´s not my intention to create a special 80s-feeling. But it happens somehow. When I´m searching for a sound on my keyboard I don´t look for "explicid" 80s sounds. Somewhen I find a sound I like and then I use it. And at the end it becomes a
"Miami-vice-remembrance-revival-resurrection"-Something. I suppose it happens unconsciously.  

oh please, let us have the vox chant, too, please!  As usual -- love the guitar, the synth - blah - for my ear, but that's just me.  Love the ride!

It's cool. nice and chilled out. I think the orchestration and the production especially are top class. I love the melding of all the different sounds/instruments, really well mixed and played. The slap bass is cool. Is that a keyboard or guitar? Some of the sounds aren't to my taste but they suit the style of the track so can't complain.

I certainly get a sense of your passion for production, not only from the recent thread on studio monitors but also when to this... It's def what stands out for me on this track.

Nice work

Ian

Hi Ian, hi CdeT, tnx for your review / listening.  Glad you like it .


It´s a bass guitar.

Those drums are funky.  The production is really well done on this. Personally not a huge fan of the skippy synth but it still sounds really good! The phaser on the guitar was a nice touch.
Good Job!

Thank you, Gar, for your listen.
Hope it animates to drive through beautiful landscapes on a sunshiny day.
