Brian, super icy. The rhodes indeed sounds cool. The tones and your voicings are a rare treat.

I'm gonna have to learn the keyboard better. The rhodes adds just the right amount of coolness to a tune. Glad you liked it

Talk about cool! Love the bass on this - what a great sound, and lovely smooth playing. Did you really build it? The guitar is good, too, and the playing is nice. A great chilled track. Nicely done. Peace.

Yep, homemade, not as hard as you think, just time consuming. Thanks for checking it out.

I (barely) remember being introduced to kamikazes (about 5 of them one evening) a couple decades ago (vodka, lime juice, sugar), and never wanting to feel that way again :-) But with this music, I can hold a virtual glass, put my sandy feet up on the lounge chair in the sand on a warm sunset evening on the beach, and completely relax with this music going on. Very nice playing, and I enjoy the Bossa rhythm and soft percussion you chose. Tasty! Balance on all the instruments is quite good, I have no real critiques.

Really beautifully played, and the bass sounds GREAT! I'm no producer, so I can't offer any real advice there; but this song is a great example of why anyone would want to improve his production: there's a lot of magic here. I'd like to hear the piano a little more......

This was my first attempt at recording my piano. I don't really play, but I'm learning by the song. Thanks for checkin it out.

This was the perfect song to listen to after work. Very mellow and relaxing. I had problems hearing the piano and I think you should bring out the triangle more. After listening again I think the piano and guitar are competing for the same frequencies so maybe try and EQ them a bit differently. When I did hear the piano it was great. The guitar phrasings are tasty and just right. This song transports me back to when my wife and I honeymooned in the Bahamas! Great job Brian!

for listening. and the critiques. I decided to take any tips for this song and implement them and repost as an exercise in production techniques, etc. So someday I can be like Rick Reuben. More Rhodes, you got it, more triangle, maybe not, eq the gutar and piano differently, I'll try and fiture it out. :P

I'm a drummer at heart so I like to hear percussion and drums. I might be a bit biased in that department!
