Hello nasties, were have ya'll been? I reckon yesterday's one sucked or something. I've come to redeem myself with this little rockin' tune.
"Body Movin" meets Zeppelin's "Wanton Song." Nothing complicated there. Ethereal synth sounds appear in order to give the guitar backbone some flesh. Irresponsibly placed and utterly monotonous drum machine sounds pop in, and my usually extensive samples are practically no-shows.
Spanishbomb808, what the heck's gotten into you?
Well, I wanted to try straight-up looping with very few samples and "beats." I reckon you all will like it or something. That, or hate it like my Men At Work one. In that case, I'll return to my initial horrendously bad mixing (!)
Here's what I used today:
Led Zeppelin- Wanton Song
Depeche Mode- Blasphemous Rumours
Led Zeppelin- In the Evening
Gary Numan- Cars
The Clash- Silicone on Sapphire
The italcized items are barely audible. They're just there for "atmosphere." And also, the "Cars" portion is just the intro noise, not the famous synth riff.
The drum machine sounds were taken off some drum machine patterns I made once. They didn't fit, so I just copy-pasted some bass drums, snares and claps onto the "Wanton Song" loop, then I repeated that over and over. I made two loops, and both are used in the song. And, not surprisingly, they suck.
I've yet to master/care about intricate details such as beat matching.
Anyhoo, the "beats" give the song a hippetty-hoppy feel. As the various samples I've used over the past few songs reflect, I don't listen to much rap and such stuff :p .
But I try. I try :o .
And without further ado, here's today's abomination:

Please, if you d-load a song, boost the maker's morale with a comment. Everyone loves a response. Even "You suck, Spanishbong!" will make me happy (y)
