He's a bad mutha.... &mdash 03/16/07 - 11:37:17 PM
and next... &mdash 03/18/07 - 03:16:19 AM

Thanks Doofy! You're Da Man!

Get down! &mdash 03/17/07 - 12:07:32 AM
and all that funky kinda stuff. I see Isaac Hayes in the later stages of his life, cruising through the Candelo markets balancing a stack of "Home Made Icecreams" in all their psychedelic flavours, being fed the contents by some local soul sisters. Best not to think sometimes ;)
Lots of fun Alf - now get back to work!
Nice one,
Neil [ Reply to This ]
'Isaac Hayes' ice cream brand... &mdash 03/18/07 - 03:24:16 AM
...also known as 'the Chef' in the 'South Park' cartoon....well, hmmm, I won't be making 'chocolate salty balls' ice cream....(if you know the cartoon- you'll know what I mean)
....but we hope to @ least sell our own versions (...legal, of course!)
...OK, OK, Now I'm going back to work (sheesh, even my local Macjammer pal reckons I spend too much time on this site!) ;)
Cheers, my Friend!
All The Best,
Alf

down with yo bad self. The brass section really worked well in here.

the brass... &mdash 03/18/07 - 03:43:55 PM

Many Thanks Harold!

What is this about again?? &mdash 03/17/07 - 02:18:10 AM
It took me the entire song to read all your keywords. :-)
You kept it simple, yet made something unique. Your soundbed is a perfect flashback -- strings, piano, flute and all. This is so evocative, I think I might have put it under film scoring although of course disco works perfectly well. [ Reply to This ]
Magritte... &mdash 03/17/07 - 03:32:57 AM
...I also had the problem of genre selection....perhaps 'crappy rip-off' might be the most accurate. (;))
Thank you so much for popping around!
(LOVED your take btw!)

This music comes straight out of a seventies TV detective series! Splendid tune, Alf, lots of fun, and i just looove the brass section.... Great production as well.
- Walter [ Reply to This ]
I would say.. &mdash 03/18/07 - 03:46:11 PM
...that this piece came out of a 70's Defective Series! LOL! I really 'Shafted' this one...;)

Nice Job! &mdash 03/17/07 - 12:02:23 PM
Alfalpha, this sounds great! Straight outta the '70's sound- I can't help but think about shows like Starsky & Hutch, or Kojack while listening. This would have made a good track for those T.V. shows, I think. [ Reply to This ]
Cliches are... &mdash 03/18/07 - 03:50:15 PM

Yeah, what he said &mdash 03/17/07 - 04:53:11 PM
This is cool, cliches and all... man, you really made the funk work for you, and the strings, tamborine, bass tone, horns, everything reinforces that sweet 70's grooviness. Very cool. [ Reply to This ]
like I said... &mdash 03/18/07 - 03:55:17 PM
...cliches are my middle name! LOL!
I really appreciate you coming around for a listen David!
Many Thanks

all he left us was a loop &mdash 03/17/07 - 08:19:44 PM
now, i wouldn't really know, but this sure sounds like funk to me. you got me desk-dancing here. this sure sounds familiar somehow...
[ Reply to This ]
I really hope... &mdash 03/18/07 - 03:58:28 PM
...you don't get fired for dancing on your desk! (Assuming that you're at work)
If you're not at work, I hope you don't get fired for dancing to this tune anyway! LOL!
Many Thanks for your kind words Smokey!

Coulda sworn I posted my comment - &mdash 03/17/07 - 09:37:58 PM
this morning but it's been a busy day. You hit this so head on - you're one bad mutha. Great production from the wah bass to the strings and horns. Well done! [ Reply to This ]
it seems that... &mdash 03/18/07 - 04:00:51 PM
...we both had a touch of nostalgia, you w/ your great take on Mancini (w/ a touch of surrealism) & my dismal rehash of the 70's! ;-)
Cheers Bud!

Awesome! &mdash 03/17/07 - 11:28:10 PM
I 'member the time before, y'see, when the jive was no jive... but yoots today... they don' understand the jive. They see the hair, an' the collared shirts an' cars big enough to put another car in, an' they just laugh, they thinks it's FUNNY an' all, but they don' think about how we was lookin' with the hair an' the shirts an' drivin' to the dance, slappin' on enough aftershave to make our eyes bleed. This is the music when we was COOL, dancin' with girls an' pretendin' our eyes weren't bleedin' from the aftershave.
(With apologies to Bill Cosby)
[ Reply to This ]
at least you... &mdash 03/18/07 - 04:03:43 PM
...only have to apologise to Bill Cosby....my sins are far greater & I think my penance will have to encompass the entire music of the 70's!
Thanks So much for coming around to visit & leaving a comment!

Coffey Time &mdash 03/21/07 - 09:16:38 AM
Man you brought out some memories with this loop-oh-phage. Nice cutting. Yeah, reminded me of all those ghetto movie tunes of old and that of that great guitar player who played behind much of that genre, Dennis Coffey ( http://www.denniscoffeysite.com/ ), who's still playing these days.
[ Reply to This ]
I guess... &mdash 03/22/07 - 12:42:10 AM
I could've used more Coffey than coffee!

this is sooo baaad. You've created a time machie but its super charged with the updated rythym section. The synth/flute lines are just too frakin cool. Kudo's very hip. [ Reply to This ]
you're absolutely right... &mdash 03/22/07 - 12:44:01 AM
...it's bad! LOL!
Seriously though, Many thanks Karma!

This is fantastic! Starsky & Hutch are coming down the street in their fab red car with the white go-faster stripe and Huggy Bear's on the corner, looking only how Huggy Bear can.
I LOVE IT!!! :O) [ Reply to This ]
Poor Huggy Bear... &mdash 04/16/07 - 03:36:51 AM
...I think Huggy Bear would prefer to look like something else! HA!
Many, Many Thanks Shimky!

D'oh! &mdash 04/22/07 - 09:54:58 PM
I just realised I never commented on this! Sorry dude.
Man, this sounds like Starsky and Hutch have teamed up with Shaft to catch SuperFly. Meanwhile TNT Jackson is kicking everyone's ass. Curtis Mayfield has joined the James Taylor Quartet and everyone's wearing flares.
Excellent stuff. [ Reply to This ]
That combination sounds like... &mdash 04/26/07 - 01:46:53 AM
...a recipe for disaster- pretty much like this piece!
Cheers Ross!

The chuggachugga guitar, then the piano, the strings, the flute.....
It all makes me say "where have I heard this before".
This is a most excellent ripoff of every blaxploitation soundtrack cliche.
