Now for something completely different. More instrumental, yet a smoother vibe. I'm not a virtuoso on the electric piano, but a threw in a lead for good measure. This is intended to exorcise the demons of stress from your mind with a bit of smooth electronic jazz.

The link is a download; not a stream. The high ends are aliasing thru soundclick, while on my computer it sounds fine. So I recommend downloading to get the clearer sound.

Major punch going on here George, the production, instrumentation, and the tune itself are all top notch.
Nicely done!

The only suggestion I have for this song has to do with the drums and the cymbal pattern. For the cymbal pattern that starts out the song, I would've liked the pattern to change once in awhile. For ex., at 0:56 I think that the pattern should've changed a bit to add a different pace to the music. Or maybe you could've added an effect to the original pattern for that measure. And at the same time, I think the drums should have changed there too (just the drum pattern). And then just keep doing that for each of those measures like the ones that start at 0:56.

Anyways, I liked the song a lot. It sounds fantastic. And I think you did a great job with the leads. Good work.

There you go, Dee, I wonder how it messed itself up? But I fixed it.

Thanks George!

I'm feeling those demons of stress fleeing from my mind....

This is really smooth, very creative as always, and I enjoyed listening to it - I like the way it starts, and you did great on the keys too!

And I wanted to say congratulations on still posting a song every month even though most of us have deserted you. We're still around though, so don't think you're alone just yet.

Regards from
Dee

Hi George, another great song mate well done, although I would say that the cymbals are a bit too upfront for me, like their hanging over the mix itself, maybe they need to be pulled back just a little mate, just an idea, overall a great song as usual George! well done!

I've had some comments from others regarding the ride cymbals, so on a re-do I will change them up a bit. The whole song was based on a constant rhythmic element, but now that it's thought thru there are other variations I can try. This one was fun though being as smooth as it is, and a bit of a departure for my style.
