Oh yeah Definite 80's pop hear. The John Hughes film reference was too funny. Ironic too, as I've been teaching myself to play "Pretty in Pink" by the Psychedelic Furs (a great band) before everyone found out about them thanks in large part to john Hughes. But I digress... a lot! Real pleasant vocal and perfect for the song the way you've done it here. You change this up with Moon style drums and I still like the song, but in a different way, you understand ;) I like it. I like it a lot! Check out my latest song called Ballad of The Little Tiki

thanks i love the Furs, I think they were great up until Mirror Moves. I was surprised that this one turned out okay with this arrangement' it was more an experiment than anything; glad you liked and glad you stopped by. thanks.

80s stylee Hey Michael - this is ace, a real 80's style track - this has a really nice, sweet feel to it (the synths do that, i think, and your voice). I was listening to mirror Moves by the Furs yesterday - this has that Keith Forsey style production. Nice track.... almost a kinda synthy Mary Chain track.

thanks steve thanks for stopping by. i think it's the FM synth bells that really give it that 80's sound. the J&MC reference is cool, maybe i'll do a fuzzy post punk version (just for kicks). thanks again for stopping by. Check out my latest song called Behind Enemy Lines (w/Bud and Particle Dots)

I like this I can relate. The song I just posted, at least the last part, was compromised. I played it totally different live than now. But, I liked what you've done with this. AClark was dead on, I could hear this in Breakfast Club. Not a put down, a compliment. I would be very interested in hearing a rocked out Who version, though.

hey you in parachute pants riding a new wave. sounds really great Michael. has a lot of good sounds. great synth sounds and the drum actually fits the style. Did I mention anything about velvet yet? No? Can't it wasn't in style for the new wave set. Excellent piece totally enjoyed it. very polished Check out my latest song called November

| michael2 said 667 days ago (January 28th, 2008) | |

no velvet this time. just big shoulder pads, pleated pants and bi-level haircuts. at the time i avoided all of this type of music, but now i find myself really enjoying it when i hear it. still need to do this as a rock number. thanks for listening.

Is it just me? or does it seem to be an increase in the 80's retro thing. This is definately from that time (meaning the sound). I wonder why it seems most songs do come with as much hope as they did back then (maybe Im just rambling). Anyway I think you did a pretty good job with this. The style is definitely reminds me of my childhood (wow, Im old). Check out my latest song called Guillotine

thanks spitlogic it's wierd, my neighborhood has become quite the hipster haven. it's all 80's kids and gang members now. they make me fell really old (the 80's kids that is). thanks for listening. Check out my latest song called Behind Enemy Lines (w/Bud and Particle Dots)

well done This is a great track. Definitely a favorite of things you've done. I hear what you mean about the other direction with Keith Moon drums. The drummer for my band is crazy talented and I'm so used to saying, "can you put a Keith Moon fill at the end of each progression" and he does it perfectly. Programming MIDI drums and/or finding the right loops is a pain in the ass. With that said, I think what you've got here is perfect enough for me to get all self conscious about what I'm working on!

thanks lennon714 glad you liked this one. you're stoked to have a real drummer at your disposal. i have a guy I love, but with a kid and a job, our schedules just never seem to match up. it's a shame he's so computer illiterate or i'd drop my laptop off with him for a week or so. thanks for listening and for your kind words.

thanks Wade i guess you could say I have a broad scope, or maybe i have no direction. i'm just more curious than anything. thanks so much for listening to this one, i appreciate the comment. always nice to hear from you. Check out my latest song called Behind Enemy Lines (w/Bud and Particle Dots)

plenty of things I like in here:the drum machine, this cool setting on the alpha3 I'd use on any song, the ah ah ah that's reminds me of the Jesus and Mary chain, the chorus and well... I like everything, actually. Check out my latest song called shortbus spaceship (feat. the Flying Monggz from the Ninth Planet) by the Monggz

thanks cjdaley glad you approve. that free alpha synth is really cool, i recommend it. i used to use Crystal (which is the best ever), but when i upgraded my OS it stopped working (just as i was starting to get a grip on the thing too). thanks a bunch for listening.

Very cool song however you approach it, I think. This style works perfectly for me. The sounds are great, and your vocal works very well here. I love the drums - it does have that retro thing going on - and I think the feel of the synth sounds is excellent. Nice one. I'm not sure how you could improve on this with a different style, but having said that, I'd be very interested to hear it! Nice work. Peace. Check out my latest song called Across the Wire (MJRF)

thanks Dajama glad you like. i like this version, but i'm so used to hearing it in my head the "indie fuzz pop" way, that i'm still tripping on this version. i am pleased with that bell sound though. the melody it plays is what i usually did chord wise, in a alternate tuning. the weird part for this song now, is i wrote it with an off rhythm pattern and this is very 4/4 straight ahead now. that's why i gave up on the trying to program a different drum pattern. just don't have the skills. thanks again for your kind words and for listening.

worthwhile experiment Really showcases your voice. I like the backing vocals and really all your vocal work here. Bittersweet. The song is a great mix to my ears. "80's" in a timeless way, if that makes sense. Doesn't sound dated. (Wouldn't mind reading the lyrics) Check out my latest song called Este Momento

You have the JAMC oh - ho ohs going on love shoe synth gaze pop mix. It's the insistent bass that really puts this in place. BTW - watch the mail - I'm sending those drums you need. Check out my latest song called try not to think

nice one! You definitely captured the 80s in this one. Not many artists can do that right these days so kudos. Would LOVE to hear the "feedback soaked fuzz pop" version!! Check out my latest song called Keep Your Chin Up

80s pop song... ...it is...and rolls around in my mind quite nicely. You work this genre really well, michael. Somehow my body and mind survived the '80s (no fear for my spirit...that's for sure) and this is a very pleasant reminder of the times. Thanks. Check out my latest song called Outside the Corral

This has a nice beginning, which is great for the listener to sink into the tune. Nice backround as the tune continues, lush synth. Enjoyed the singing as well. Interesting words. Nice backup singing in the parts were added. Cool bass thumpin! Thanks for sharing! Check out my latest song called The Bluebird Cafe (with two other guest)

Dig it. I dig the techno nature of the track. It's a good tune, so it will probably work with any arrangement. How about a reggae-polka-punk-square dance kind of a thing...? I'm only here to help... Check out my latest song called Mighty Cracker Fly

Yes!! Awesome song. I am thinking Sixteen Candles rather than the Breakfast Club. Viva La Thompson Twins!! |

Lovely track A very nice track, it does remind me of some of the better tracks of the 80's, but with an up to date touch. The lyrics are really good and so well sung. I am very impressed. Check out my latest song called Space Program (Space Race 2009)

keep em coming nice tune. I like the chorus. I am thinking Sting when i listen to the chorus repeated. Nice production.

yes! smooth. vibrant. pleasant with a touch of darkness. totally engaging. This track really has a great feel and mood. Nice job of restraint with the instrumentation- I'd have been far too tempted to wash it all out. That definitely shows maturity and experience. Oddly enough, I can totally hear this song the other way that you describe. Can't wait to hear it that way, too! Check out my latest song called On Fire
