YouTube - ‪The Test (Demo Version 1)‬‏

Evening all,

Loads of people keep telling me this sounds 80s so i thought i may ask you guys to see what you think

Its the first demo version of the track i working on, if enough people like it, then it will be going on my album at the end of the year

Theres a few other demo tracks im working on as well for your listening pleasure if you click on my youtube username

[Daryll]

Sounds like you sampled or used a loop from Indeep. Not bad.

[James]

Cheers guys

@Daryl, i've been writing this album since i was 18, so far i've got 4 potentials, out of about 200 songs, so you might be in for a bit of a wait '0)

@ Shakermaker It does sound like the intro to 'last night a dj' i know where you're coming from there, it also sounds a bit like Mj's Beat it as well i think

It's basicaly just an 70's funk drum kit put together in a sequencer, so bass drum track 1, hat track 2 etc. i tried to keep it as simple as possible for the demo

[Jonny Boy]

Loving the vocal on that too mate! :-)

Lovely damped sound - great intonation too.

It's OK but it doesn't go anywhere for me. Call me old fashioned but a song needs an identifiable verse / chorus / bridge and a hook.

Just that little something extra could make it an exceptional track.

[Dynamic Entertainment]

Vocal reminds me of Sisters of Mecey in places lol

Took me 10 mins to think what it reminded me of.You may have to take legal advice before having Jolley and Swain on the phone:zip:

YouTube - ‪Bananarama - Shy Boy [Extended] *[RARE]*‬‏

A bit to close to the 80's on that one for me:)
