Thanks Layzer. Coming from you that's quite a compliment.

sometimes I think it's nice to get beat up because we can learn more that way. It's not nice at the time of course but if it makes us better it was worth it. Mix sounds well balance and didn't seem nearly as long as it really was because you kept it interesting throughout. I wish more people would keep it interesting like that when they make long electronic songs. If it was me I would of turned up the vocals more but that's a creative decision of course. Well done Wags and good on you for caring about the project enough to keep going with it and trying stuff out of your comfort zone.

Oh an most of use make songs that only a few people will listen to and even fewer will care about. But it's fun and makes us feel good.

I actually did have the vocals about a 1 db louder but decided to turn them down. I didn't want to detract too much from the main thing which was the music. Maybe I'll mix a "made for radio" version at some point.

Yeah, it was hard work but worth it.

I posted this a long time ago but am posting it again for personal reasons. It's just a piano piece I wrote a long time ago that's supposed to sound like a music box playing.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I don't know what a toff or poncing is. LOL.

Think rich English types prancing about... In a very elegant way.

I don't think they'd last very long in Barnsley...

Another one from "80s Squared"

First time I ever did anything like this.

Just The Three Of Us

Awesome! No really, that's a fun remix/rework. I don't really like the robotic vocals either, but, in this they're at least a nice counterpoint to the Lobo track.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I pretty much know all of the lyrics from almost all of the songs on "Of a Simple Man" and "Introducing Lobo." I think that this is just a side effect of my interests as a kid and the way that adults perceived that music. I was very much into electronics, sound, and having my own "stereo" and I would take pretty much any record that anyone would give me. So, I inherited both of those records, along with "Jonathon Livingston Seagull", some other Neil Diamond records and some things like Johnny Cash and Connie Smith.

These were things that adults at the time either considered passe or, like Lobo, were never actually cool but just came in and out of popular music. The thing is, they were in great shape, probably because they were never played again after the hip adults laughed the first time my mom's uncool friends tried to play them at a party, but, to my young and largely non-judgmental ears that was worth a lot. No skips and jumps, no scratchy sound. So I played them to death, and, of course, the lyrics were imprinted on my young and effective memory. What can I say, I was WAY into sound as a kid. I drooled over far too many DIY amplifier and speaker project articles in those days LOL!

So I guess we're about the same age. Yeah, it was a simpler time. I didn't worry about people judging me for the kind of music I listened to. So Lobo, Carpenters, John Denver, didn't matter. Music was music and it was all cool to me.

Anyway, glad you liked the rework. Always wanted to do something like this.
