I'm not really into Funk so couldn't get right into it - but the programming was A1 . . .well done

not into funk?? that's impossible! Everybody on this planet lives off of funk! You eat it, you drink it, you even breath it!

hahahahaha - no, I'm afraid I'm Funk-Less... and damned to an eternity of much wailing and gnashing of teeth

Still think the programming was A1 though!!!

LOL. thnx man! The intro guitar phrase sort of came by as an accident, but it sounds funky nonetheless. Realistic? no, but Funky? Definitely!

dubsub is da BOMB!! The bass synth of choice by more than 90% the nation's doctors, scholars, and funksters. Dubsub!

"dubsub helped me throughout many life or death situations where a things were a matter of pumpin' bass, or no tune"

Dubsub! There's nothing like it.

it warms my heart to know that musicians the world over are partaking in the bass with the dubsub. the bass can be a fulfulling and exciting experience, if properly respected. one must practice "safe bass", however, in these dangerous times, as misuse of the bass may result in euphoria, enlightenment and a warm fuzzy feeling in your belly.

Hmmm... Don't want to put a damper but this one needs something.

There is too much dynamic rhythmic stuff going on. I would tend to add something more static in the mix, either by making the drums more linear( hihats would be nice) or making the organ more "paddy", like playing straight long chords( you know what I mean). My jist is that at one point everything just gets mixed up and the focus is lost.

ken, what you need is a live band! no kidding. lately i have been listening a lot to old live recordings (zappa in new york, miles davis live at fillmore east 1970,...) and for this kind of energetic music, i can't imagine ever getting the same flow out of pulsar, or any other computer thing, as with a live band.
but i know, even drummers have to eat

couldn't but agree that this is a top composition.

i actually thought exactly the same thing... how great aspects of this track would sound if played with a full horn-section/ live guitar, etc... it would take it to the next level, for sure!

LOL guess why I want to learn how to play sax! Yeah, it would be lovely if I could put together a live horn section. Such is life, theyr'e getting more expensive by the day!
