I just love your music announcer-man, and this is no exception. You always have these interesting sounds, beats and general drive. This is very cool, hard to listen and sit still at the same time (so I'm not!) Thanks!

announcer said 262 days ago
Magna ... thanks
good to see that you stopped by and left a comment. I haven't had a lot of time to post and work on stuff lately but I do like the way this one came together in a hurry for me.

Youra said 262 days ago
But only one...
To fave and top rate this number. IT'S GOOOOOD !!!!
Exciting and very creative, and, as usual, perfectly mixed.
Well done, sir.

announcer said 262 days ago
Thanks
I got bombed a bit on the votes for this one but I'm still pleased with it and I am glad you stopped by and left a comment.

Vic Holman said 262 days ago
reason 1,000
yikes, Bill. this hit me right between the eyes.

This really rocks and sounds fantastic.

reason 1,001, another listen!

announcer said 262 days ago
Right between the eyes
I always wanted to develop a knockout punch. Glad I could do it with this song and not really cause any permanent damage :)



mowguy3 said 262 days ago
One of a kind
The mix is top notch. the whole thing just rocks. great
////////////////thanks ///////////

announcer said 262 days ago
I try hard
Mixing is what I think I do best and I am always pleased when a visitor thinks that I have done a good job with the mix on a song. I sometimes lose the ability to maintain a fresh and impartial ear while working on a piece. Thanks for reinforcing my feeling that this one was right on the money.

Ibstrat said 262 days ago
you
never fail to come up with amazing drum beats and sounds.You are a master!

announcer said 262 days ago
Interesting that you should mention the drums and beats
I had a whole different drum and rhythm track for this song and then simply deleted the whole thing and rewrote it. It was then that the whole song began to work for me. After that move the entire thing came together quickly and gelled for me.

Thanks for the comment and the visit.

sharin !!!!

announcer said 262 days ago
No ... thank YOU
I am always happy to see that you have made the "trip around the globe" to visit my songs. I am, as always, grateful for the visit and the comment.

Aureliano said 262 days ago
Rock It
a jammin song in all respect. Very good production from someone I admire. Thanks for the song Announcer.

announcer said 260 days ago
Thank YOU!
I really appreciate the visit and the comment. Makes me feel like I have not totally wasted my time with garageband.

dajama said 262 days ago
Great stuff
This kicks in from the off and sweeps you along to the end. The sound is amazing - only to be expected from you; you have a gift for making everything sound full and clear and right where it should be in the mix - and the track is great. Love the guitar sounds at the beginning, and the different instrumental colors throughout give the piece terrific dynamism. Very nicely done. Peace.

announcer said 260 days ago
Thanks
I did a couple of things that were a little different on this as far as the instruments and the effects were concerned. The major thing was the treatment of the piano. I used the detune plug in on it almost by accident and really liked the effect so much that I decided that we needed a solo with that sound on it. Probably drove the folks with perfect pitch crazy.

MarkHolbrook said 262 days ago
I faved it early on
but hadn't had a chance to comment. I think dajama's comment really describes it. You get swept away. Awesome tune!

announcer said 260 days ago
I appreciate the comment
and the fact that you faved it. I like to see those avatars there on the page.

lengold said 262 days ago
Another great
track Bill - love the changes throughout and, of course, perfect production. Guess what?
Cheers
Len



announcer said 260 days ago

Blast It
Do you ever have vocals in mind when you create? Production is solid and the change of parts in the song really brings out the words in my head.....Just arrived the other day and I always make a visit to ur page and am always excited with ur style of music and artwerk / pics. I just image that ur putting together a band that will perform all ur songs.........BlueSky

announcer said 260 days ago
You wanna sing to it?
Go ahead!

I sometimes come up with some ideas for lyrics on some of my numbers but I really have more fun working with the music.

Welcome back ... we missed you.
