    Thank you, Bfo.

    The vocals are coming along. I have the opening lines but it the background vocals that will really make this shine. As someone commented elsewhere, this piece calls for "dozens" of background layered harmonies.

    Working' on it.......

    Really nice. Do you like Queen? I can hear Queens influence in your style. Keep up the great work.

    "Queen" is Rock Royalty!

    Grew up in the 70s and 80s, so they were very influential, just as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, etc..

    This piece sort of turned out an homage to them. (Maybe even a little Monkees, thrown in the mix.) Lol......

    Love the track, I'd say overall it is good but come on, you of all people know it needs vocal. Let us hear the version with the vocals

    I really loved it!
    At first the bass line sounded kind of unrealistic to me. But then the rest of the track blew my mind. Especially the ending part when you bring up some elements of other genres such as that reggae organ or those jazzy rides.

    hi, all you need is.......not love but some space for the instruments .i know because of the lack of a vocal or an lead instrument you have all the instruments in front,bass,drums and keys are plastic,there is no compression or try some transient tamer.otherwise the music is great.

    Has a 90's TGIF sitcom vibe lol, but in a good way :wink:

    Interested to see if the vocals are as well executed as the bed.

    Thanks all.

    The execution of the vocals is everything. They must be crafted.

    Takes time, patience and perseverance.

    Luckily, there is no rush.
