Sort of a tune

big quiet spot before the beginning.
When it gets going it's good. I reckon, however, that you need to either give the vocal chat a temp rise in the mix OR drop in another clear vocal line on top OR use some classic "version" dub technique with he mix.
The guitar interlude should be a little more classic blues line with not quite as much panning - just my idea of keeping with the vibe.
The horn section's a little too high in the mix.
Nice stuff,
Keep working
Cheers

Damn dude...this is nice. Very smooth flowing. Has a nice jazzy feel. Nice sounds man. That bass has a great tone. Just the right amount of ring on the notes. Cool guitar interludes, and solo. That stuff really panned throught the soundfield well. Gave it a apcey feel.

Cool stuff man....very cool.

I really like the overall feel, it has a certain groove to it that I really like. One thing that comes to mind though is that there's a lot of stuff going on at the same time. Guitar riff, piano doodle, 'telephone voice' and fancy drums all at the same time is a little much. I'd suggest dividing it up into more different 'verses' where one has the guitar as overtone and the rest a little quieter, and when adding the piano have the guitar play only chords.... see what I mean?

This is a critique I get a lot too... I like to put as many ideas in one song as possible, but sometimes it's a little much especially when you hear it for the first time.

good tune though, nice work. Keep at it.
 
Larry, great groove going here...that guitar in the beginning of the tune sounds extremely funky, and the leads are blistering! I can go either way on the panning thing...Lots of great keyboards going on too; love the horns could do with more of them....Great playing and no nits on the mix from me.... :D :D
 
Thank to all for listening and commenting. This tune kinda follows a type of thing I do when stuck for new ideas. The voice was "Igor" from the NOAA weathercast forecasting doom, thrown in at the last minute, to document what killed me, if a tornado hit. The guitar was pure alcohol. I even tried some tapping. The fact I didn't know how wasn't a problem; that's never stopped me, yet. I also was watching a boxing match on TV that really sucked and I was expressing the crowds anger... nah! I was just playing around the scale and trying hide it with flanging, my standard MO. The horns... I stick in horns when ever I can fet away with it. Comes from my horn playing daze. I use that clav a lot... its canned, but I'm not keyboard player so I have no problem with using the toys the keyboard provides. I'm drinking a 2001 zinfidel with a pesky nose and with overtones of black walnuts and #2 pencil shavings. I shall now gather some low-fat, low-salt 'nacho chips(9), finish off this wine and prepare for bed, as this evenings severe thunderstorm rumbles in the west. Pelvis has left the building!
 
Nice song but why did you name it after the ugliest animal alive?

There's words for it and an emu is the topic. As soon as I record them, I'll post the song and you'll see how the words mean nothing.
