thats a real beauty, that talkbox is well deep, wonder what he uses?

the other track 'bet cha love' is a goodie too, but this is lovelier ,i'm going to put it on now.
i'm thinking of doing a mix of old 80's stuff, specfically vocoder stuff, and latin freestyle dubs, got to work out how to do it and properly practice too.

Yeah it got a sad tinge to it which when I listen to it now takes me right back. Im a right old softie when I come to tunes on this thread.

"Just glance from behind
Happened by chance or design
The perfume she wore
Took me back through a door
I had closed long ago

Suddenly
I thought it was you
Thought it was you
Thought it was you
Thought it was you
Remember what we knew
I thought it was you
Thought it was you
Thought it was you
Remember when i thought it was you

We were young love was new
Warm as the sun shining through
In your arms it seemed
I went back to a dream
I had seen long ago

mms Please do that mix.

i finally got dam funkes album. found it a bit much after about 10 or so songs. by that point the 'oh wow hes using all the sounds/styles i love!' excitement was starting to wither a bit. does get a bit samey. its good though, he should soundtrack things like grand theft auto or something. better than amp fiddler in any case. i think the album hes doing with steve arrington could be great, would give him someone to craft songs around. not holding my breath for any just a touch or watching all the ladies though.
