Angels & Strangers

[Martin E]

Hi Martin,

a bit more west coast  I enjoyed a lot the accoustic guitar's riffs.
They share a great feel, relaxing and sad, dunno...
I can imagine listening to this on my beach 
This song is the most interesting of yours to me. More original.
I liked the jazz flavoured electric guitar solo.
More of this please 

Great listening, thanks!!

bye

Thanks, Mag. It's a bit beyond the standard pop realm in which I usually work that's why it appeals to you I guess. Combining a funky drumtrack with a jazz flavoured chord sequence and a , from where I stand at least, a Bowieesque atmosphere.

Ok, just had another attempt to get into it. I thought maybe it was just the snare, then maybe the rolls, that were putting me off, but it seems its the entire drum pattern. The part of the song I really like is from 2.39 to 3:15. Yes, no drums at all This section also has a very Moody Blues flavour (one of my favourite LP groups in the past).

It seems I'm severely in the minority though

Mmmmm strange. Do you want a version without the drums 

btw, the amount of excellent work you keep producing is amazing! I'm still spinning my wheels with my new PC. Its about 80% ready now. We should be doing something together again soon, I hope 

Yeah I don't know this song just popped up out of the blue. Hope you're satisfied with your new pc, Fred and we'll surely be doing some more stuff.

Bad, never heared something so bad !

I just wrote those words to break the routine, ´cose Martin is like the rock of Gibraltar (without those monkeys, of course ! ).
IMO the song has also a little 'air' à la Doors, especially the drums.
Beautiful stuff !!!

Cheers,

Max... .. .

Actually, I did think of that but thought it would be a bit of an insult to ask

Interesting production!

It all works, but as a "period piece"; say about 1972...
Billy Cobham was hammering out some very involved drum beats with the Mahavishnu Orchestra, John Bonham concocted some innovative rock rhythms, and Ginger Baker had already taken the pop/rock world to a higher place with his artful percussion work.

Impressive drum programming, Martin (the rest is good, too ).

[Martin E]

Thanks Oren. Personally I feel there's more to this song. It's also a reflection of the first decade of this century And not just a "period piece" of the seventies.
But I can only speak for myself

Hi Martin

This is excellent - I really enjoyed listening to it. Great atmosphere and I felt the drums were just right for the song. Loved the guitar solo, too. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Martin,

really liked this song a lot. Very smooth flowing feel to it (especially the vocals & rhythm guitar). The mix was also very well balanced (I had no issues with the drums either), and everything just seemed to be in the right place. I did think the ending seemed a bit sudden for me (personal taste I guess). Anyway great song thanks for posting 

[Martin E]

Thanks, MAD and FM.

Glad you like it.
