About time we had another tune thread...

^^ True robin... but live is where its at for me. You cannot recreate the interaction of musicians in a studio with Logic, unless you record 'live' (not tracked separately) which is happening less and less. Its usually the musical imperfections of a live recording that are my favourite, so much music these days just sound fake and over worked.

I agree... theres always a lot of tat, shame that there seems more and more tat and less and less actual talent.

....The thing is to keep an open mind and not get into a mindset which pits Live Music versus Studio Music. There's room for both.

If you bother to visit my MySpace music page (not updated for over a year) and listen to "Three Flight" at bottom of player's list, it was recorded 'live' inasmuch that it was recorded in Logic in the studio and just one take - A song which was totally unwritten - Steve just told me to start playing something and then he joined in on keyboard and Amanda was in the booth singing. None of us knew what 'song' was going to happen or what the next note would be. Amanda was so moved emotionally that she came out the booth crying. There ain't nothing wrong with recording.

I might add that Amanda had never recorded with us before - Our first ever recorded song together. I met her when performimg live and she, a stranger, asked if she could join me onstage and sing.... Open mind, always keep an open mind.

Im not condemning Recording per-se... but of its misuse!

Ahh, Robin, you'd get on well with my father-in-law.

He's often telling me stories of his youth in London and gigging, seems he used to hang out a fair bit at Chislehurst caves and saw all the greats, then more at University in Liverpool.

I grew up seeing anyone who could play in Manchester during the Indie kick off in the late 80's, early 90's - but it doesn't sound a patch on riding your motorbikes to bizarre caves and then going drinking with Hendrix afterwards.

....No, I understand. The technology nowadays allows anyone to record in their bedroom or wherever and that's a good thing because it doesn't restrict talented folks from having to get a recording contract to create their music. The downside is that... Well, what we've been discussing, lower standards by those who are less talented. The fact that it's always been cool to be a music star doesn't help.

i liked metallica and megadeth, then oasis and dodgy and then electronic dance music sasha/nick warren/oakenfold/dave seaman etc. its fair to say i like a lot of different music.

I like all sorts of music too, though classical the least.

It doesn't matter how music is made but only matters if you like it < I think Tom Petty said that.

Less talk and more music:

No apologies for having posted this on another occasion.

For me the artist of the moment and last 6-9 months must be Plan B. The boy can sing.

Some more tunage from myself!!! A bit of a difference in taste to my last post but hey I like anything

Performed at my first ever live concert too

Thats all for now

Remixes:

Stick with the first one, there's hardly any Holly on it and it quickly turns into a bass rich dub version.

Ohh yeah... SOD!!

Its probably as musically remote as you can get from my actual taste in music... but I love a few of their tunes!

I spent the whole 1st year at music college trying to master the intro on guitar....

^^^^
That Holly V song is written by a Turkish guy - You can easily tell if you're familiar with Middle Eastern music.

Reminding me nicely how very much I love this:

Thanks for that Holly V song version - Very good indeed - Even has flute on it
