Title: Caribbean Dream (collab with Shadowfax)
Post by: Binladeda on September 27, 2016, 01:28:03 AM: Hi,

Here's the result of a collab with Kevin, on an
instrumental track (Tom Bones) that I posted
here earlier.

https://soundcloud.com/binladeda/caribbean-dream

It's strange to think that this started life about
four weeks ago as a trombone sound I was playing
around with. No intention of writing a song, just
seemed to gain it's own momentum somehow.
Everything just fell into place so easily...

Amazing how these creative journeys develop sometimes ;D

Big thanks to Kevin. I think he's turned this into a little gem
of a song. If this was the 80's we'd be on Top of the Pops ;D
It's just POPTASTIC ;D ;D I love it.....

Thanks for listening ;D

As you say, this is a poptastic tune and surely would have been on TOTP in the 80's sandwiched between Wham and Haircut 100 :) This just exudes sunshine. There are some lovely little touches in here. I love the trombone and some of the little keyboard fills that just jump out at you. Nice work guys :)

Easy, mellow and sunshine are three words that spring to mind after listening I also got a bit of tuneful whale song going in there. In fact I think I'll play it again :)

I got the top of my scone sunburned just by listening to this choon.

A lazy,stretched out,toke smokin,trombone tootin' four minutes twenty seven seconds of too hot summer.

Kev's laid back vocals perfectly compliment the organically induced chill vibe.

A little bit of summer on a naff day. Thanks to ya both for posting. :)

When I first heard the tune.... I wanted to hear vocals with it.

And they complement each other so well.

A hit ....waiting for its moment👏👏👏👏

Post by: MartynRich on October 04, 2016, 09:43:42 PM: Great stuff guys, I hate the beach normally but you´ve made me wanna get my S50 and cover myself all over. Music fab, vocals fab and the lyrics nice on the ear. Sometimes you just need to chill out and this delivers a bucketfull of ice on a hot summer´s day.

Post by: TheButcher on October 05, 2016, 06:02:56 AM: It's great to hear your voice combined with a different music style.
Works very well for me.
Mix sounds good too.
Reminds me that I wanna go on a holiday soon.

Just got back from my hols - ok it wasn't the Caribbean, but this took me back to the sunny days.
Great job adding the vocal to a very cool tune.
Loving the effects on the vocal.

Love the thick molasses texture of the brass, guitar chords and resonant drums....An irresistible wave of sound and rhythm highlighted by the synth arpeggios and creating a wonderful support for beautiful reverb drenched vocals.....A true Caribbean dream....Great work guys!!

Production n performance is lovely.
I've never gone reggae myself, wish I could say something more insightful.

Irresistible tune.

Loved the vibe before and now we've the icing on the cake.
Perhaps you could have been a bit more extreme and go properly dud on the breakdown...
