Oh yeah! This is like a time

Oh yeah! This is like a time-machine, I hear influences from the 80's mixed up with modern club music and some indie genres I've heard. The drums is really punchy especially that snare that almost punched me in the face. Great work "Laddie" laugh yesyes

Thanks. I'm pleased with it.

Thanks. I'm pleased with it. The idea became to include an 80s vibe and try and stay current. My girlfriend said it reminded her of the flying dragon in Neverending Story!

Cheers Jason. Going to work

Cheers Jason. Going to work in the discarded half of this song now... The darker bit! Should be interesting to hear the contrast!

Really well done! Punchy and clear, full of energy. I can imagine several melodies on top of this. Happy Birthday, and many more years for you to breathe.

Thanks guys. Just got back

Thanks guys. Just got back from spending a night in a posh hotel with my girlfriend and no offspring!

I'm working on the dark version of this now. When I first started writing this is was dark then got way too happy for its own good. Hence becoming its own tune... Now back do dark and depressive ville!

Ooh, I have a vague version

Ooh, I have a vague version of 'Impending Astronomical Disaster ' in my dropbox for you, I didn't really do anything other than add a couple of squawking 303's indecision

https://www.dropbox.com/s/48i3jueldvwyx3m/ASTROLOGICAL%20ANOMALY%20JM.caustic

I'm sorry but your track was so complete and well arranged all I did was add some pointless candyfloss indecision I meant for so much more sad

I was hoping you were going

I was hoping you were going to destroy it and put it back together again! I don't dislike what you've done... Just wish you'd done more!

I know, it was a mammoth

I know, it was a mammoth effort to start from scratch (as I would have wanted to) and ran out of time. Day jobs suck sad

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wz-Gjfx5yzg was the kinda vibe I was thinking I'd aim for, but sadly no. You've ended up with the Primark/MTV version.

sad

I suck wink

...however, on the plus side

...however, on the plus side you know now what I was thinking and maybe you can take it there if you want wink

It strips out the funk and groove from your awesome tom work, so would you really want something so cyclic and gnarly?

I feel your pain... Just download all those ethnic and analogue drum samples so might have another drum based track coming up that you can have a play with!

I have a tune on the go with

I have a tune on the go with 6 BB's, each is now called 'Rob Farley '1,2,3,4,5 6', all the vintage electronic ones. I've not even started on the ethnic or Hip hop ones yet surprise

I may never do any work again,

Ever.
