Nice "Rickenbacker" like bass sound and whamming lead guitar man.... you guys got a good magic goin! Enjoyed!

Funky indeed! Both the guitar and bass kicked butt!!! Awesome stuff! Scott

My, my, my, this be as fun-kee as my girl's cherry pie! Nice groove and some pretty impressive drum and bass work. Love the funk mixed with the blistering guitar. Good job.

Yo.....FunkY MikeY, This is sweet......excellent guitar / bass grooves. Man ,,you be jammin' !!! :-) Outstanding !!!! Larry T.......

Sounds very tight and nicely recorded. I'm hearing a detuned overtone from the snare which I wasn't sure about... otherwise some very competent playing on this one! :)

Nice tight drum and bass work......cool bass tone and some tasty riffin' MUCH enjoyed. The guitar smoked.........GREAT JOB!! Rob

This song Rocks, Love everthing about it!

Nice strutting funk dude - with just a little extra jazz studder . Some nice blistering licks too. Good start to my morning - way better than this cup of coffee . Thanks man.

hey Mike! Wow...now this is different. Love the instrumentation...your mix of sound choices is great...along with the rhythm that drives it. Thoroughly enjoyed this. The progressions in tandem with rhythms is really outstanding. Everything together with your great playing make this song very enjoyable indeed. Really creative my friend! Excellent tune ...Blake

great tune! caught me off guard with the synth - love that! laid back groove! Cheers!

Love the textures and the groove! Great choice of sounds, they work really well together and made this a really fun listen. Scott

Pretty unique song with some outrageous changes and rhythms. It shows a lot of talent and creativity on your part. Very cool tune.

Alright, this is great, Mike. So cool!

This is great Mike ! great sounding tune, like the nylon and the happy vibe i get listening. /C

funky mikey in a mellow mood.. but he is one funky dude.. so that salsa fresca breaks on through.. this sound like music of our southwestern time zone.. funky texmex to the bone.. nah brau.. lousiana zydeco bro.. mardegras don't cha know?.. diggin the flow yo.. .-))

wow, wonderful music. I love the guitar and the melody, very good sound. A great arranged song fantastic to hear. a new fan is born

Cool intro into an even cooler melody and rhythm. nice changes...its definitely got the feel good carribean vibe!

very nice and very cool. nylon does change things so much. I love the rhythm track. well I would say the song is a success! sounds great!

Nice laid back, and at the same time, fun track. Acoustic guitars sound DI'd? Might be nice to have a live mic'd sound on them and a real sax player on that lead part that starts at 1:09! Well balanced mix :)

Interesting project - space-samba ? I enjoyed the playful feel of the guitar work.

Geeze...now I see the progressive side of you. You've got such nice things at play moving into and out of the picture. These changes are all good and emotional. I really have to give you big kudos for the way you've thought this marvelous piece through. Your musical mind with it's creativity. Transitions beautiful. Fine specimen indeed Mike. Wow. Impressive composition. A song I wish I wrote. Kudos my friend!!! ~Blake

Nice track man. It has inspired me. Keep 'em coming.

That drum groove... damn, sick sick sick!!! Almost fell of my funk-cycle! I had to listen to it twice to get my fill!! Then added it to the favs! Everything else is very supportive of that powerful drum kit. Reminded me of some early Genisis grooves. Cheers! J

This is really quite good in depth, strength and sensitivity. I was visualizing during this listen which is always a good sign for me that I enjoyed it Mike!

Really enjoyed Sky Dreamer. Great sound on my side. Excellent work.

Great to see you here!!!! Cool song. Man, you have great production skill. Miss playing live with you. Great track.

The others said it all Great track Good Job Mike Steph

Wow, I posted this last night, finished up a collab w/GeorgeShep, woke up with all these comments, you iMS folks are very generous, much thanks, I'll get back with all of you. I cannot take credit entirely on the piano solo in the middle, it was generated by some very smart software, I could never play the keys that well. The rest was performed using a GR20 piano patch with the Carvin NS1. Thanks for all the suggestions to help improve my playing and production, I could have never asked for a better group of teachers, the talent on this site is astonishing. Huge hats off to Dazed for creating the best music artist site on the net! Happy New Year to All! -Funky Mikey

Very nice orchestration,and I think the hi-hats are fine,might just be a matter of how the listener has the player eq set on their pc.Great arranging,and good mix. Peace, Tsargoth

Very cool and very uplifting. I was very impressed with the piano work. It is masterfully played--along with the piano solo at the 2:14 mark. It is very nicely done. I do differ a bit on the guitar solo however. it starts out great, but then falls short at the end. To me it needs a little work, and for you to think outside of the pentatonic box. Especially at the end of the solo. The attempt to bend up or down to resolve your notes did not quite get there. It is often falling short of the bends, and (in my view) this actually hurt the solo by not voice leading you directly into the keys. The use of the cymbals is also a bit awkward in places. So listen for this. Regardless, I really enjoyed the piece. I felt that I was taken on a journey throughout the universe, and as the planets and galaxies flew by, i really was enjoying the ride. =)

Great track Michael ! loved the big sound and nice arrangement, thought that your guitar work on this one was real great too. Wish you a Happy New 2008 ! Christer

Lush,majestic,unique and very creative. A guitar player tickling the ivories like that... just doesn't seem FAIR......this is an excellent well concieved piece, with amazing textures and quality.........FM ...You did yourself proud ,my friend, Larry T..........

Just listening to and enjoying the keyboard parts and then the guitar comes in and puts the icing on the cake. Very enjoyable music.

I thoroughly enjoyed your creation. Excellent synth work and I love that NS-1

This song really grabbed me from the start. I did think the hihats are just a bit hot in the mix. really nice keyboard work on this song, excellent energy, and I love the changes. THe lead guitar work is great - reminds me a bit of Barklay James Harvest.

This is some Great stuff Michael! Love those synth parts and the piano, what a cool touch. Guitar sounds are creative. Excellent piano work leading into the solo.

Excellent track. Very majestic sound and performance. Very nicely done!

P.S. -- Nice carvin in that picture!

Michael -- You work continues to impress me, and this is such a classy piece of music. Nice job, as always. Paul

GREAT TRACK, Michael....LOVED the synth.....beautiful piano. A DEFINITE Favorite......dl's sometime? Rob

love that piano/keys intro. very cool tune. love the build up on here. was that all ns1?

Ah Mikey......now you're talkin. Finally a song in my favorite genre, Polka. How dare you do Polka without an accordian?? ;-) Really enjoying the creativity here and the guitar sounds FINE...I don't believe I would pick that out as a synth guitar based on this song. Great playing and creativity on display Mikey. Very cool... Blake

Very creative, shows some original thinking. Thought the bass was too heavy in the mix, perhaps just a bit of eq to fix that. BTW that is a nice 575 you have there. I bought on also and sent it back because they screwed it up so bad.

That was cool ! Great sounds that put a smile on me. Fun groove.

Nice bass sound and tight recording. Going off George!

F.M......What are trying to do put all the horn players out of work.....LOL Very interesting,super groove,the intro is awesome !! Drum and bass tracks were excellent.Of course all the guitar tracks are what make this baby cook. Grreat work gentleman !!! Larry T........

Diggin' it. Nice collab guys

Hey ... that's a great amusement park ... horns are so clean and the guitar jam worked well on top of the throbbing rhythm. Entertaining listen!

Very cool groove. Loved the horns and some funky guitar from George.

Great collab guys with great performance from both of you. I like it. Funky ? Yes Christer

Great job, Mike!! Cool horns.......it's a "man of mystery" theme........could be a 007 song. Great performance.......liked it alot!! Rob

Heavy funk groove man,dig it.Guitar really makes this something special,great tone and fluidity.Nice track brother. Funky Mikey indeed ! Peace, Tsargoth

absolutely Love is ifinite and this track is too beautiful...drum line has classical sounding and very well written...A really good to listen...great job my friend...

i like it i really don't have much else to say about the music i just like it

Joe and Henry used the term sailing....I buy into that completely. The song just makes you feel good. Real tasteful guitar placement and tone. The music matches so well with your concept Mike....really gorgeous! Where have I been? I can't believe I haven't stumbled on your music !!!????! Well, I'm sure keeping an eye out now...~Blake

Yeah - this is great. Excellent arrangement with cool changes. Very melodic, and would be a breeze to sing over, thats a sign of excellent song crafting. My daughter (8yrs old) is singing to it right now! Wonderful Rob

Yea I like the way this starts out, hopeing for some vocal here, oh well still good you have something good going on here, great beat, nice. The RatMan!

Mike...This sails and then settles in to a strong paced track with some beautiful themed moments that lift the heart. Nice music making my man!

Aw Mike this is great...from the very beginning I could hear the richness of your sound. Gold to my ears man...steady groove , solid drums..classic chord progression. I can only imagine what someone like Dazed would do with a vocal track over this.

Hey you got it rapster, it is kind of Van Halen. I can imagine Sammy Hager wailing over the top of this. Good strong melody with a nice bit of keyboards thrown in. A feel good track this one. Nice guitar tone you got as well.

mikey's funky.. gone sailin.. like eddy van halen.. this is too beautiful to complain.. love it brother mane.. love that classical bass progression.. then kickin into the classic smooth groove.. easy flowin.. experience showin.. man that bass mikey.. i'd say you own it.. this is jammable.. grabbable.. this is climbing.. to a wonderful turn.. back to that struttin groove.. mikey man.. this is very smooth.. yabo got the moves.. nice close.. mike.. awesome ride..

Hey Mike!!! You stumped me, with this song, I hate to admit. I heard this song, at least 10 times before I knew who it was. I did know this though.......I loved it. It has a great combination of the 80's retro funk and Herbie Hancock sound and feel. I just LOVED the whole theme, then to find out it was you, really lit me up.......I was/am very Honored, Bro!! THANK YOU!! Rob

Wow, such a big, FAT bass...ehhehe Love that for sure...and ohhhh those drums...This is one very cool, funky tune....That big bully of a bass lasting the whole way through, it will surely bounce Rob right out of his bed...eheh...eheheee...Great sound...:-) Peace n love mags xx :-)

Mike!!! Great song for Rob. Love the funk. Very good my friend. You're always so creative!

Oh yeah... funky stuff! especially liked that stereo saws lead patch in there! sounds like you got all 10 fingers funkin it up! nice work!

mike this is awesome...great bass line drives this track and the drums are holdin it down nicely. just enough keys...but that bass is killer!

Hey...very bouncy! uplifting groove. A kool detication to a fellow muso bassman...I'm sure that he'll like this rendering.. enjoyed.

kinda mad this..? i was expecting a mad (on a bass) bass thing... but this is just mad bass anyway... love it..!! nice groove... i could play along with this all day.. :) thanks

LT, real soulful electric piano leads love what you did with that...and the whole piece. Overall this is one helluva enjoyable piece. Kudos Mike and LT...great 'lab!! ~Blake

Excellent sound quality. Super smooth groove and excellent performance by both of you. Very cool tune.

Love the vibe in this (even if those sasquash sounds did remind me of a few mornings after a heavy night). Lovely flow to this. Great music but with a real sense of fun to it as well. Lovely keys and great rhythms. Great stuff.

Whoa this is cool. Right out of the gate is was good. Really creative and so well done.

This is slick....I'm into the groove and all the cool sounds.
