THIS SUNDAY MORNING - REMIX :-)

THIS SUNDAY MORNING - REMIX :-)

Ok, I did it......with the advice taken I did a few things. I redid the drumtrack, boost the kick drum and EQ'd the whole kit. I did a retake of the bass guitar and  I removed all after effects from the guitars. I think it's a bit more cleaned up now. I hope you like it.....AND!!!! I REALLY Appreciate all the nice comments on the songgrin.
Oh yea.....Sometimes I do all of my own instruments.....this is one I played Bass, all guitars, keyboards, and drum arranging. THOUGH!!! I am a collab HO and I love to play with better playersgrin......You know what they say........Hang around with smart people, then you look smart.......hehehehehehehehehehehe...devilangel


THANKS!!!

MIX 8 and then I'm going to give in for help :-)

Well, I've posted close to 8 different mixes of "Where are We Going" now......hehehehehehehehe......I'll bet you didn't know that. Everytime I post a new one, I get a mix comment.....AND!!! That's FINE....It's GOOD THING!!! I try and I'm FAR from a producer.....I get some good and a lot bad. I have wanted to try the mixing offers here, but I never wanted to bother anybody.....I don't even know what they're all about. It just seems like a lot of trouble. SO!!! I'm opening a can of worms in front of everybody, who may have wondered the same thing.........How does all this MIXPOSURE MIXING thing work? I may find out. Maybe, I should have this song mixed by someone who know what they're doing.....HELP!!!!

Treat Her Right......Re - Mix

Treat Her Right......Re - Mix

I just wanted to mention that I did a retake of the original "pan flute" synth solo and a remix of the whole song. I rushed it out too fast........yea, like I've never done that before......hehehehehehehe. Y'know....that's what I love about his hobby.....I can change it as many times as I want and the song really never has to be done.....BUT!!! actually, I've kinda of gotten past those days.......hehehehehehehe......I'm sure you know what I mean. Anyway, I hope you like the song. It fits with my instrumental mood stuff........sheeesh!!! I think I have enough material for a mood CD and so I broke the songs into groups and I called that group "FLOWING FEELING".......hehehehehehehe.....enjoy, if you please grin

1000 REVIEWS AND proud OF IT............WHY?????

Rob Grant (06/25/08 13:31:56)   Tag: I don't know.......
1000 REVIEWS AND proud OF IT............WHY?????

I wanted to remind some people and tell others, who may not know me, why I like to "Review" and what "Reviews" mean to me. I worked in Record stores for many years, back in "the day". It was time when breaking a new artist was a whole lot of fun. I used to listen to just about evry new record that came in the store. Man, I LOVED finding new artists. I used to find "no name" bands....put "Review" tags on the album cover and Front Rack them, then push the heck out of them........Albums like the first Boston, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Genesis -Foxtrot, Selling England, and then some who didn't make it so big....Camel, ELO, Soft Machine, Alan Holdsworth.....and TONS of others. Anyway, I continue to LOVE to find and enjoy listening to new music. I LOVE the idea that I can personally express my thoughts to an artist and pat him on the back for a job well done. I could tell Mick Jagger ...GREAT GIG, I doubt he'd care. HERE.....It's appreciated by most artists. I know I enjoy a little recognition.....it feels good and I like to make others feel good about their work and themselves. Reviews don't need to be big words and technical drama.......just a thanks to an artist for a nice listen......or a HEY!!! Nice Job, Bro!!! Anyway, I enjoy it and LOVE doing it and I'm proud of hitting #.....tada!!!! 1000 !!! very very soon smile

NIGHTWATCH I with Gary Carciello

Rob Grant (04/04/08 18:12:17)   Tag: I don't know.......
NIGHTWATCH I with Gary Carciello This base song was written by Gary Carciello. He presented me with a Strings and guitar track, then asked if would add some drums or whatever. Well...I took to the song and added a bit more than he expected....hehehehehehehe.. I LOVED the version and he liked it very much. It wasn't quite what he was looking for, so he created NIGHTWATCH II with DOCTOR C and was performed by CARCIELLO, GRANT, and DOCTOR C on is located on that page. I hope you enjoy this version :-)

It was done back in the end of the SUMMER 07. Gary has given me permission to post it in my prog/ambient collection :-)
THANK YOU, GARY!!!

UNITED, WE'LL STAND !!! DIVIDED, WE'LL FALL !!!

Rob Grant (03/30/08 21:14:42)   Tag: I don't know.......
UNITED, WE'LL STAND !!! DIVIDED, WE'LL FALL !!! It has saddened me, that I can't respond and review as I wish. I see SO MANY New Friends here and I want to GREET them all, with open arms. This has been such a strong SITE for friendships, collaborating, and just general relaxation. I see faces missing and THAT really saddens me..........We ALL share a common goal, whatever it is, that brought us here......we MUST hold on to our friendships, goals, progress and keep UNITED !!!
The whole record industry is in turmoil, UNITED, we will STAND OUT and be the biggest part of the coming music industry.
I have finally gottem all but 1 song on my SFR CD's and have listened to them constantly for 3 days now. As soon as I can spend time sitting up.....I can't WAIT to respond in the reviews, for each song. I can assure you, each one has touched me deeply......AND!!! The way they were drilled into me was alphabetical, so I didn't know who many were, but played guessing. It was a tremendous way for me to listen.......and I did pretty good, figuring out who was who, by knowing the artists sound. I'll give myself about 80%........I finally typed out a list for myself.....I was GREAT LISTENING !!
As always, I LOVE THIS SITE and ALL involved......Please! Stay United and let's ALL proceed for making our home, the kick off, for the new music industry.
PEACE and YEAH!, BABY.......
Rob

oh yeah !!! Remember, I have lost my mind....and still working with a new brain.....hehehehehehe. I think they got it right, because it doesn't hurt to sit........

I have FINALLY achieved "Goal 1" I just finished downloading all of the songs, from the "Songs For Rob Catagory". I have been wanting to listen and respond, but have not felt well enough to do either. Why?? My computer is located in a different room, than I sleep.

I NEEDED it so badly, to get thru the initial days of...."WTF" !?!?!?!?!?! just happened. I will now be able to sort thru things and feel the full happiness you have all supplied.
I'll tell you.......whew!!! 40 + songs written, 100's and 100's of reviews, listens, and comments. I REALLY hope you ALL se the GREATNESS of each yourselves individually and collectively as a Music Listening and artsists site.

I'M A COWGIRL...HAVE A "GRUMPY" DAY !!!

Rob Grant (02/06/08 07:03:48)   Tag: I don't know.......
First...THANK YOU, ALL for the WILD support of my granddaughter and I. I put this up for her and she will go BERZERK, when she sees the nice comments you all made. She's already a Hannah Montana NUT, this will push her along nicely. She actually is taking guitar lessons now. Yes, she loved to watch me play and decided she wanted a guitar and lessons, for Christmas. She wanted to record a song, so I threw this together and played it for her. She just sang it and made up the words as she went. The "THUNMPING" during the first verse, is her horse :-) Ok, so I posted it and told her last night, she got all excited. She asked.....Will people all over the world hear it? I said...Sure will!! Will they hear it in their own languages?.......HAHAHAHAHA! She cracked me up, but I told her, No....they'll hear it as is. Tonight I will bring her to the page. She's gonna FREAK.

HAVE A "GRUMPY" DAY - IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC!!! DONSTER PROJECT

I got a copy of GOP's CD and have been listening to it...well?.....since I got it. It's in my truck player and there it shall remain for a while. Hearing his songs, where I can really listen and enjoy, has TOTALLY turned me on to him. He is ONE Wild Guitarist. He writes GUITAR SONG, no need for keyboards and synths.....he does it all with guitar. This CD gives me the feel of a WISHBONE ASH CD, in that they too were a Guitar group. GOP plays many different styles and uses many different tones. All of his songs are produced well and have GREAT structure. The mainstream is missing out on this.......and I look forward to the day, when WE ARE the "Mainstream" of the music industry. GRUMPY!!! YOUR CD IS EXCELLENT!!!

IMS CD and Personal Listening Time :-)

Rob Grant (01/29/08 11:36:47)   Tag: I don't know.......
IMS CD and Personal Listening Time :-) I've been meaning to post my CD Listening pleasures...and finally, I'm taking the time to do it. This is actually CD III............I can't find my list for 1 and 2...But I WILL!! I'd like to THANK all these ARTISTS for their Music Sharing and the enjoyment I get from listening, while I drive around the city.
1. Funkey Monkey - Artificial Earth - This has to be one of the most FUN tracks, I've ever heard
2. Ride Into The Sunset - Dazed, Fla M, and Warren P - This song - A GREAT Cruisin' Track, with Superb musicianship and vocals. My IMS Eagles :-)
3. Sunglasses and a Smile - Lex Zaleta - Lex too, does very FUN music and this one kinda hit me with his FUNK and Cool Story lines. Nice harmonica solo, funky beat, and the feel of the Ol' Lee Michaels or Leon Russell material
4. Chillin' From The Inside Out - RS Cain
5. Hard To Get a Stripper Off The Pole - RS Cain
6. Poor Little Johnny - RS Cain
7. She Makes Me Nervous - RS Cain
8. Back to Baghdad - RS Cain - If you're looking for A super produced sound and some down and dirty rockin' blues...Straight out of the BAR, RS is your Man! He Smokes!
9 The-Rat - Bri-an - NEXUS Song of the Year 2007....Need I say more?!?!?! Ok, Bri-an produced a super song, powerful drums, and a tough message to the "rats". hehehehehe
10. Bar Stool Boogie - Mike Gentry - Well, Peter told me to give him a listen. I did....and Mike is one heck of a super guitarist.......flare, taste, and speed.
11. Dorian Toccatta - Doctor C - The Master of the B3.....This song shows his versatality and talent. WHEW!! The DOC C is M' man!!
12. No Time - Fuzzion - A taste of Beck and Hammer, nice instrumental Jazz-Fuzzion with a driving bass, soft keys and a GREAT Theme.
13. Waves Part II - Gabriel Sabadi - Strong theme, with driving orchestration, and guitar plus, fron the guitardoctor. Ambient, prog, electronica
14. Desert Ride - Surfthenorthwest - One of my favorite ambient-prog style artists. A nice theme, with a little soft piano, leading the way. Very much a story theme styled song.
15. Tiger Eye Blues - George Shepherd - Another ambient-prog-bluesy theme, with LOTS of feel and emotion. George's guitar work is powerful and at times he reminds me of Alan Holdsworth
16. Leaving (with Luay Rifai) - Peter Mercer - I guess you can tell, I hit a mood with these songs. Another SUPER Ambient, prog, bluesy styled theme with POWERFUL Guitar work throughout. Nice piano backing with smooth orchestration.
17. Ambient Jam BT - Robert Smith ROBBO1 - I followed the mood with this super guitar driven ambient styled mood track, from Robbo1. He's one FINE Guitarist, with tons of style, tone, and taste.
18. The Distant Light - RWK - reapersg - Another fine guitarist I found here, who writes music in my favorite genre.This is a Pink Floyd style song, with excellent melody, guitar, and vocals.
19. She's Ours - TLT50 - WhereWolf and Mystery Guest - One smooth lesson in keyboard and guitar funk.

Well, this completes my quick review of a GREAT Collection of music. I am MUCH APPRECIATIVE to them ALL, for sharing their music and giving me personal listening pleasure. :-) WELL?!?!? I got 5 more IMS Cd's to write up........

SUSPICIOUS ACTS II...My Friends :-)

Rob Grant (01/17/08 17:42:11)   Tag: I don't know.......
SUSPICIOUS ACTS II...My Friends :-) I would really like to credit all of the support and help, I got on this song. I sent Gabriel a 4 + minute track of the song. I drum, bass, and acoustic track and asked if he provide keyboards.

Gabriel Sabadi - Gabe sent me a super lush ambient intro and an orchestrated track, that knocked me out. Gabe plays all synth, strings, and choir. He also handled all of the files and engineering.

DAZED - I had to ask him......I loved his voice....but, quite honestly, he shocked me with a YES reply. Dazed wrote the lyrics and did all vocals.....and REALLY did a SUPERB JOB!!

The guitars.....Well, I felt right off the bat, that Reapersg had the style I loved for this song. He has that Steve Hackett feel, that I love. Reaps did all intro lead guitar and all lead work up to the organ solo. At this point, I knew I wanted to include Gary C, so he provided me with some intro chords and a backing lead to the organ and an solo which ends the major part of the song. The transition WILD ending, was providied and played by Gabriel Sabadi, with the guitar work of The GuitarDoctor.....funny, it's Doctor C on organ in the ending, as well. The DOCS!!! Doctor C also did the mid-section Organ solo. SO!!! I want to THANK THEM ALL for playing with me....and I HOPE to do many more of these collabs.

Why do I write so many reviews :-)

Rob Grant (11/20/07 18:12:22)   Tag: I don't know.......

I worked in record stores for 12 years, in the "day". I LOVED finding and promoting new music then and I do now. I get so wrapped up in listening and I appreciate the opportunity to comment to the artist. I mean...it's a Real World here. Do ya think Mick J. would care, if I told him Satisfaction was an awesome track. Somehow, I think he wouldn't care, he already knows it LOL!!!! SO!!! I just look forward to my listening time. I have my First 2 IMS CD's, I've been listening to. I will post them shortly, with little song reviews. MAN!!! I just LOVE to listen.

Rob
