BOOsTER Group: Musicians Posts: 1024 Joined: Jan. 2003 Posted: Aug. 15 2003, 15:16 I would like at first to say thanks to Mike and then @Brandon: we used only part 2 of your version...since I was too lazy to sequence that too I hope it's OK if it's not just tell me -------------- http://www.djbooster.net Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Aug. 15 2003, 16:42 I have to say first, you're really better off asking first before posting versions of tracks by other people from the community here - I don't think anyone on the board (or indeed on Amarok, the newsgroup or similar places) is unapproachable. I'd assume that things are ok in this situation, you know each other fairly well (I'm thinking back to what Brandon started off with BOOsTER's Dark Star here ), but it's often best to watch out. To the track... It's a nice choice of sounds, and it has a nice relaxed feel. It sounds a bit 'lo-fi' though - I think it's the kind of piece which could really do with an absolutely crystal clear sound quality to it. The guitar playing fits quite well...is it meant to be distorted (sounds like it's clipping a bit otherwise)? I think the Caldera Piano bit at the end rather suffers from having been through the data-reduction mangle rather too many times, but it's a nice idea. Some interesting collaborations are happening here...long may it continue! Back to top

BOOsTER Group: Musicians Posts: 1024 Joined: Jan. 2003 Posted: Aug. 15 2003, 16:49 Korgscrew: at first thanks for the comments I also shamed first for taking Brandon's piece and if I would catch him before I wanted to post I would. But I remembered the Ommadawn 2k3 excerpt with guitar remember? heheh j/k a bit here I tried to do everything in crystal clear quality...I think I am not able to produce it any better it's not clipping but I tried to simulate the bridge pickup from original 60's strat...well hmm...maybe it did not come out as it should btw you mention Caldera piano bit...hmm I thought it's second part of moonlight stroll since it was on TLII that way -------------- http://www.djbooster.net Back to top

BOOsTER Group: Musicians Posts: 1024 Joined: Jan. 2003 Posted: Aug. 15 2003, 17:02 Thx to Korgscrew I will be able to sort out the caldera piano bit too so new version comming soon. For now enjoy this one with Brandon's version of Caldera bit -------------- http://www.djbooster.net Back to top

MusicallyInspired Group: Musicians Posts: 1445 Joined: June 2001 Posted: Aug. 15 2003, 21:56 I don't mind anyone messing with my tunes unless I say when I first post it that I don't want anyone messing with it. And besides, it's MO's song anyway. Not mine . I just put it all together, remember. The only thing that's mine in TL2 is the arranging. Everything else...music...instruments...mixing etc...all Mike. That said, this is quite nice. Good job, you guys! It also sounds a little lo-fi to me. Probably the mp3 encoding, though.

BOOsTER Group: Musicians Posts: 1024 Joined: Jan. 2003 Posted: Aug. 16 2003, 06:00 Thx Brandon in a few days there'll be a new version...with slightly different caldera part anyways I wanted to credit you for your arranging work so don't be so modest )))))))) -------------- http://www.djbooster.net Back to top

MusicallyInspired Group: Musicians Posts: 1445 Joined: June 2001 Posted: Aug. 17 2003, 17:53 Hey nice job. High frequency piano with the strange low frequency synth effect sounds good. Only thing was the piano was a little too quiet with everything else going on when it first starts. Really good, though, otherwise. And nice playing, Crises! Very nice. -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things. If all the world was blue there would be no colour blue." Back to top

BOOsTER Group: Musicians Posts: 1024 Joined: Jan. 2003 Posted: Aug. 18 2003, 13:16 thx for your comment Brandon I think we are both glad you like it ...though I am a bit disapointed that no one more commented the new version :-/ -------------- http://www.djbooster.net Back to top

ktran Group: Members Posts: 156 Joined: May 2003 Posted: Aug. 18 2003, 23:07 fine then, make me feel guilty about it! Actually, I haven't commented because I don't know the original (even though I own over ten MO albums, that's barely scratching the surface, it seems sometimes!. But your remix sounds nice. You're lucky that Brandon is of a benevolent character! :-) rgds, -------------- Khoa Tran www.suspendedseconds.ca Back to top

MusicallyInspired Group: Musicians Posts: 1445 Joined: June 2001 Posted: Aug. 19 2003, 00:22 Ktran, the song that Booster and Crises have covered is available free on the internet. It's from Tr3s Lunas the game. I made an online album called Tr3s Lunas II for free for those who couldn't listen to the music in the game or don't want to play the game all the time to listen to the music. You can find it at ftp://amarok.huntingdon.edu/ . -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things.

Ecco Group: Musicians Posts: 229 Joined: Nov. 2002 Posted: Aug. 19 2003, 19:54 Pardon my ignorance, I was curious as to what a remix is? Do you folks pinch the actual MO recordings and then apply your own mixes to them? Do you actually play anything yourselves? We have a slow connection so we havent gotten to hear alot of stuff here. We are sure that it is all quite good. -------------- http://www.myspace.com/twilighttide Back to top

BOOsTER Group: Musicians Posts: 1024 Joined: Jan. 2003 Posted: Aug. 20 2003, 01:32 Ecco: we actually play all the instruments ourselves there's now no playing by Mike...or anyone else except me and Crises. Glad you like it -------------- http://www.djbooster.net Back to top

Music, the ancient language... Group: Musicians Posts: 407 Joined: Jan. 2003 Posted: Aug. 22 2003, 13:15 Charming! Nothing irritates me, except for the lack of an ending. I like endings! Don't leave endings away! Endings rule! It's the final impression which a song lays on you! Take care of the ending, if not, you don't have a complete song!
