Description

Well, I wasn't planning on putting this one up but I just listened to Smokey bacon Jr's new one and felt moved to put it up.
A different genre for me generally but thought I'd give it a go.
Drum loop is from an Asian Dub Foundation remix competition so I think it's ok to use it.
I'll take the song down if it's not.
Play loud.
Hope you like it

	Dr.Who bassline Not sure how the bassline happened. Just got in the dub groove. I was worried that it didn't really go anywhere and wether the groove was enough to carry it on. I felt a bit odd not using my usual structure of intro, verse, chorus etc. Glad you liked it and thanks for dropping in cheers Check out my latest song called shadow stories

	glad I inspired you... Great swooping bassline! And nice dub elements - especially like the scittering drums, they really drive it along. You should try remixing some of your old songs this way - take elements and then dub them up. Like the whooo vocal. Had me nodding my head. Check out my latest song called Melif

scittering drums
I think those are just a GB loop of electronic pulses..I can't remember as I seemed to have chucked the kitchen sink in as well.
Anything except my echo vox are synth sounds so the whoo vocal is a preset somewhere.
As for remixing my songs I have enough trouble feeling pleased about 1 song..let alone a remix of it !!
Anyway, thanks for the inspiration and dropping in
cheers

	remix comp Usually the rules state that you can't use the samples for anything else. Take a close look. I like this track. It has a cool psychedelic feel. Definitely enough variety to sustain the 4 minute length. Check out my latest song called Fourth Candle

	That bass! Man that bass is kickin! It really makes this song break loose and adds the funk element big time. I also like the funky guitar parts. Good stuff! Check out my latest song called A Friend to the End

	bass line I sometimes suprise myself with my bass playing as I don't think I'm that good on it but this one just seemed to flow it. The guitars are stuck through an echo preset and were the easiest bit Thanks for your comments and dropping in cheers Check out my latest song called shadow stories

	wow this is very cool. I really like dub personally. this is cool as It has thaht dub vibe, yet there is nothing Jamaican about it at all. those guitars are really lush and perfect. i'm into it. Check out my latest song called yes you told me (that you're cynical)

kingbee	kingbee said 1156 days ago (April 20th, 2010)
	Dub I couldn't think what genre it was. I would have called it ambient crunch dub..but we haven't got that genre yet. Glad you liked it and thanks for dropping in cheers Check out my latest song called shadow stories

michael2	michael2 said 1155 days ago (April 20th, 2010)
	ahh the eternal question: what genre is this. i always default to indie, psychedelic and shoegaze. this could be a psych song too. Check out my latest song called yes you told me (that you're cynical)

	Excellent Glad to see there are more tracks like this appearing on this site Very cool Mr Bee Check out my latest song called copy-right

	very cool semi-glitch that's a really great drum loop, and you've crafted a killer soundbed around it. i love the vocal snippets, guitars and chinese noisemakers weaving in and out of the swirling synths. very very cool stuff. Check out my latest song called Greensleeves

	lyrics I just wrote some cosmic senetences to fill it up a bit. I was toying with asking Spitlogic' to do some of his wonderful words over it but didn't get round to asking him. Anyway, thanks for dropping in and your comments cheers Check out my latest song called shadow stories

	Thanks Bob I didn't know I was getting a reputation for bass lines ;-) I've been playing the bloody thing since I was 14 and no-one's ever said that. Might have a go at a reggae track next ;-) Thanks for dropping in and downloading cheers Check out my latest song called shadow stories

	... Senhor Brendan! Nobody told me you did reverb. Or do you live in a huge house. As someone who dabbles in such stuff, I love it. Psycho-synthual. Aireeeee! V. splendid. Check out my latest song called The other side of nice
