Not 'spend money on it' all right, admittedly, but 'don't switch off before the end' all right. Of course it isn't as good as 1969 Stones - they're in their eighties, FFS! - but perfectly decent generic rock. Which I'd still rather listen to than 90% of current music by 'contemporary' acts. You know, after I posted it here, I listened to it til the end and it's not that bad. When Keith plays the lead part it sounds more like old Stones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 It starts off on the chorus, but then that verse it jumps to sounds a mess. The pre chorus does something interesting, there's an odd note you don't expect. And then the chorus again which is pretty meat and potatoes.

Oh, the video is something else again. I don't give a shit about videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there is a sort of 'pop bit' that doesn't fit quite right with the rock groove of the rest of the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've historically been a fan of the media type of the music video. It's a bit of a dead art now, theres a golden period from 80s through to the mid 00s, basically the time before social media, where it became quite a cool field, where you'd see really **** cool concepts and things that make you view the music in a different light. A tired, hackneyed, ball-less Rolling Stones track, pumped over (the perfect term I think) a saucy teen in revealing leather and fishnet in a near parody of Americana. Nah. It's cliched, but its also just a bit grotty. Dirty ol' men, the single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Hopefully I'm still young enough to be able to perve over her. She's incredible. I reckon they kind of get away with it by using clips of their younger selves playing in the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've messed around with a couple of DAWs over the years but found them hard to get comfortable or proficient with. Im sure theres a big market for the novice/casual that is underserved. I'll check this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as me, takes hours of learning, YouTube videos and more learning for a small pay back @osmark86 Has obviously put a lot of hours in to create something as good as he has, the intro is first class. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more into House and lo-fi/ambient than trance type stuff, but yes, that was impressive quality. Top notch, @osmark86 ! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy! Love it. Later today, I fully expect to awaken in a parallel dimension to which listening hard to this track has transported me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top notch, @osmark86 ! Oh so am I, I just did that psytrance track to try something different. Mainly I vibe with stuff that leans closer towards Bonobo, Tourist, Fred Again... that kinda stuff, Techno, Ambient etc... Gotta do something out of your comfort zone every now and then though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) Been on a bit of a creative streak so here comes an organic house-ish track I made last night. It was made using some samples from a cover of a song called You Were Good To Me by Jeremy Zucker & Chelsea Cutler.

No I wish I could sing like that, but that's actually the performance of this youtube singer I stumbled across. She sings wonderfully. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
