Old songs from the drawer....

[SCARBEE]

I thought it would be better and more polite to move the vocal topic away from the \"not so happy with ql strat \".

Thomas,

Very cool. Do I detect a little Queen influence in there? Also seems to be a little bit of an Extreme inlfluence in there. Reminds me of some of the stuff of the Extreme album \"three sides to every story\". It\'s definitely some good stuff!

[Joel Olives]

Definitely some Floyd influence in there too.. I\'m digging it!

Hi Joel,

Thanks. I don\'t know \"Extreme\", better check it out, then.

Yeah, Queen was fantastic. A month ago I sat with a friend and listened to Bohemian Rhapsody on vinyl. What a masterpiece - must be on top 10 of the best songs ever made.

Floyd - sure. You will a lot of other references...

I agree Joel. Alot of that Ectreeme Three sides sound.

Used to be one of my favorite bands... not to mention Nuno is a shred head. http://www.northernsounds.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/smile.gif

You\'ve probably heard atleast ONE extreme song Scarbee http://www.northernsounds.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/smile.gif

Atleast in the US they had a Hit called \"more than words\" that jsut stayed on the charts for days....

Wonder when someone is going to sample that in a hip hop tune.

Maybe. But, honestly I really don\'t know the band - at least by name. If I hear a song I might recognice it. At the time I did these songs I had been out totally of modern music for 7 years, where I took care of my little boy. I didn\'t hear any rock/pop/funk music at home or at concerts - only classical stuff. I used to study the scores while I listened to Brahms, Poelenc, Mahler, Wagner, Mozart, etc. I even listened a lot to organ concerts and opera...

Wow, the dude can SING TOO?!?!?! I downloaded the \"Rain\" track. Very nice. To me it had a kind of \"Supertramp\" sound to it. I LOVE lush vocal harmony in all kinds of music. Pretty wild that you did that a few years back, now think what would you could accomplish with today\'s tools? Obviously you need to put together a cd when you have the time. Any chance of converting the mp3\'s to streaming files? I would love to listen to the other tracks as well, but with a slow dial up it\'s such a pain to download anything over 1 meg. Thanks.

cool stuff!!!woman cut sounds like supertramp.
Queen rules!!!!

They used to be one of my favorites too. I put them in the \'bands with wasted talent\' group. Nuno was a great guitarist until he went off and did his grungy, horrible, solo album, and you had to love Gary\'s in your face, up front vocals. Another band I put in that group is Mr. Big. Paul Gilbert could flat out shread, but they just disappeared off the face of the planet.

--- Anyhow

I definitely see the Supertramp comparisons in Thomas\'s music. I\'m surprised I missed that. It also seems like there might be a little bit of ELP feel in there too. You\'ve got to love good old prog rock.

And I\'m very glad you did Thomas as I refeused to go through yet another bummer thread! But this is much nicer!

Good stuff Thomas. Very good. I enjoyed all four songs. Thanks.

I hear the Supertramp strongly in one and somewhat in the others, but there\'s a lot of original thoughts here also. I also here a little bit of Bad Finger. Anyone else notice that? It\'s certainly not a rip-off of anyone I can remember. Original. Fun. Definitely good up-beat pop sensibilities here. Nice hooks. Very cool.

Makes me want to post this unfinished one I\'m workign on right now that uses Scarbee\'s Fingered Bass. http://www.northernsounds.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/wink.gif

Cheers,

Great stuff! My wife would love this! She puts up with the prog stuff I listen to but this is more her cup of tea. Do you have any of this stuff for sale on CD?

[Chadwick]

Yeah, my wife will like these as well.

There\'s a heck of a lot of the Fab Four in there, but she likes Supertramp as well http://www.northernsounds.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/smile.gif

Must have been a heck of a lot of fun to do Thomas.

Thanks guys,

The women like it - I have noticed this before - especially \"wishes to the moon\".


It was really fun to do. I miss singing a lot, but you can\'t have it all!

Hi Haydn:

No there is no CD. I gave up the project when I started the sampling career. The bass libraries were meant to beused for the songs, but ended as being the thing that I liked most. EMI was interested, but I couldn\'t see myself totally dedicated to a rock career. But I will make a CD one day for sure...

Thomas

[Haydn]

I was right - my wife really liked your songs! She was bummed when I told her that there wasn\'t a CD available. She has a tough time listening to most of the newer stuff played on the radio and now gets stuck listening to oldies and classic rock most of the time.
