Ok - just having a bit of fun with this backing track i could not be bothered to do any vocals on.
Have a listen if you have time - might not be able to review back much sadly as i am now a carer for my wife who has Parkinsons.
Many thanks in advance..................Make the most of this before they try and ban it ;)

A funky track and a load of fun, reckon the narrative should be a bit louder because it's not always possible to hear the words..ok for me, I know Monty Python backwards 8) :) ;D

Hi, enjoyable funky backing track. The idea is good, but even though I sort of knew what was being said, it was irritating that I couldn't hear it properly.

Nice idea!

Cheers

Sorry about your wife MoFo, hope you find the strength to deal with that.

The song no doubt gave you a bit of light relief. A chaotic slice of buffoonery if ever there was one. Some interesting funky riffing in there and nicely edited together vocal samples to make catch lines with more hook than I was expecting. Great fun  ;)

@Morefrog Jones - +1 with MichaelA, Maybe your music can lift her spirits?

I did agree with the comments that the Python samples were just to difficult to hear, maybe lose the fx and sidechain subtley them to the AllInstrument track, that should do the trick, but to be honest I bet that's the last thing on your mind right now.

All the best

Hey MFJ, I luuuuurve the bassline in this.  I would have had almost no clue it had Monty Python in it if you hadn't said so as I couldn't make those snippets out, but I still really enjoyed it... leaving the samples aside it is a really cool, funky, well constructed and interesting track.  I liked the strange high pitched vocoder voice too, however you did that. Banging.
It's all too beautiful.
