Title: Rico & Angelina Post by: elwoodblues1969 on December 16, 2008, 05:45:15 AM I had posted this one before..long ago,but I decided to re-work it & clean it up a bit.
This is one of my all time favorites from Jan Hammer. :) -Thom Title: Re: Rico & Angelina Post by: kara on December 16, 2008, 07:38:55 AM And oldie but goodie ;D
I used to play this live on a Casio keyboard, hmm.. what was 20 agoo :o Your version certainly sound better now 8) Excelent bending on that melody, not easy to get those right, well done ! I agree with you, it's one of the better songs of Hammer. k Title: Re: Rico & Angelina Post by: Oren on December 16, 2008, 08:32:45 AM Nice! I really like the melody instrument.
If you were looking to tweak, I'd think about dropping the percussion levels a bit. They sound good, but tend to step on the quieter components. Good choice of material. Title: Re: Rico & Angelina Post by: MarioD on December 16, 2008, 02:44:16 PM Super work Thom.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Title: Re: Rico & Angelina Post by: elwoodblues1969 on December 16, 2008, 09:34:01 PM Kara,
I think that it's ultra-cool that you know this song...very few know this song,because it was only on the show,as it never made it on Jan Hammer's album! :D Thanks for the nice review! 8) -Thom Title: Re: Rico & Angelina Post by: elwoodblues1969 on December 16, 2008, 09:40:34 PM Oren,
It's interesting that you find the percussion to be a bit too loud,as I found the percussion to be a bit too low on my previous rendition. To my ears,it sounds perfectly balanced-especially so,since percussion is a very defining element in Jan Hammer's music. I actually did not raise the volume of the track per say,but rather,I made some EQ adjustments to bring out the percussion track to where I think it needed to be. Your input is appreciated as always & thanks for the comments! :) -Thom Title: Re: Rico & Angelina Post by: elwoodblues1969 on December 16, 2008, 09:41:29 PM Mario,
I thoroughly appreciate the compliments-thanks! 8) -Thom Title: Re: Rico & Angelina Post by: kara on December 16, 2008, 09:58:30 PM Not so surprising Thom
I have a song book of him, you know those things we bought before there was internet ;) k Title: Re: Rico & Angelina Post by: Laguna Rising on December 24, 2008, 08:32:34 PM I remember you did a serie of Jan Hammer tracks in the past.
It's a simple song but sounds great, nice touch Cheers Title: Re: Rico & Angelina Post by: elwoodblues1969 on December 28, 2008, 02:16:55 AM Thanks for the comments L.R.-much appreciated. 8)
