Scott Altham 1140 Reviews	. permalink Tue, Jan 20, 2009 @ 5:22 AM I’m a little unsure about the suitability of the music against the pella. I think since I did a bit of work on this vox, I hear them in a specific way and that’s whats causing my misinterpretation. I do like this musically though, organs are such an under utilized sound these days.
	. permalink Subliminal Tue, Jan 20, 2009 @ 8:37 AM As are cowbells. ;-)
	. permalink ScOmBer Tue, Jan 20, 2009 @ 9:33 AM Cheers Scott, my studio/and this site is the only place in public I can get all groovy with my organ without getting arrested. Love your version, but tried not to listen (la la la la la!) until I’ had done mine. I will now :)
	. permalink ScOmBer Tue, Jan 20, 2009 @ 9:39 AM Oh.. and the local authorities have forced me to wear a cow bell around my neck when heating up the organ to warn off the local kiddies and old ladies. ;-)
Subliminal 990 Reviews	. permalink Tue, Jan 20, 2009 @ 8:41 AM Such a different feel compared to oldDog’s version, but equally good. One pella, two different songs. This shows the importance of the backing music. A good pella does not make a good song.
	. permalink ScOmBer Tue, Jan 20, 2009 @ 9:35 AM Need to listen to OD’s now :). Thanks for the tip. Chill out over there dude, 40 deg C here
oldDog 549 Reviews	. permalink Tue, Jan 20, 2009 @ 9:54 AM I’d been struggling with my version of this pella - now I’ve finished, it’s great to hear all these fantastic and very different versions - the sign of a good vocal. What can beat a nice bit of hammond organ?
	. permalink ScOmBer Tue, Jan 20, 2009 @ 10:06 PM Your dead right OD, a good pella can transcend musical genres and varied tastes and sits comfortably in any room in the house. To me songs are about emotion, less about fashion or technical nous (the latter is particularly true when I do the mixing :) Does Obama play the hammond?

duckett 1869 Reviews	. permalink Tue, Jan 20, 2009 @ 11:58 AM Like everyone else said, very different from OD’s or RT’s mixes, but it still works… there’s maybe one or two moments where the chord chosen seems sit a little awkwardly against the pella, but it could just be preconception-bias. Having parts of that backing track available as samples wouldn’t make my cry, BTW ;-)
	. permalink ScOmBer Tue, Jan 20, 2009 @ 10:11 PM Thanks Duckett, would you like me to post the the stems? or a just a mixed instrumental? I’ll admit to a bit of a midi habit, because it sits nicely in the background when I play, and makes rebuilding a tad easier after I cut the ribbon and realize I haven’t fitted a front door. I could post the midi if anyone’s keen. Cheers mate Scomber
	. permalink duckett Tue, Jan 20, 2009 @ 10:44 PM Anything would be cool, but I know a few people would love to see more MIDI files on ccMixter in general… whatever you’re willing to upload, the more the merrier!
	. permalink ScOmBer Wed, Jan 21, 2009 @ 3:17 PM Hey Duckett, I’ve uploaded the instrumental stems and midi file. Cheers mate
panu 5245 Reviews	. permalink Tue, Jan 20, 2009 @ 12:43 PM i really like the gospel/r&b slant on this. it’s very like what we used to do at sunday brunch gigs at ‘fuzzy’s’. yeah, sometimes we’re searchin’ for our note, or flub a CMaj7#9, but there’s no mistakin’ what key the band’s heart is in. thanks, very much.
	. permalink ScOmBer Tue, Jan 20, 2009 @ 10:15 PM Thanks Panu. Sunday brunch at Fuzzys sounds pretty cool. Cheers dude. Up the Braves.
	. permalink panu Thu, Jan 22, 2009 @ 8:11 AM we need to get you over here to atlanta one of these days. you’re gettin’ fonkier by the minute. yeah, we could eat some ribs, huff some marbs, go to church, go bass fishin’, bop a cousin or two, and then free-associate some music ‘til dawn. the organ chords are fine dood, pay no attention to the guy behind the curtain.
radiotimes 980 Reviews	. permalink Wed, Jan 21, 2009 @ 3:16 AM I really like the backing track and wanted to get the old vocal chords working to it. Not sure about how it fits with the Panu vox. At times it blends together really well but at others it seems there’s a bit of conflict going on. Overall though it’s a good idea and worth the listen.
	. permalink ScOmBer Wed, Jan 21, 2009 @ 3:34 AM Thanks RT. I played it Stevie Wonder style (with the lights out). A friend of mine said it sharpens the ears. Very hard to pick the black keys from the white ones though> I’ll post the instrumental stems tomorrow if you really want to get those underused vocal chords of yours going. From the little I’ve heard you have a good set of chops.
	. permalink radiotimes Wed, Jan 21, 2009 @ 5:54 AM Hey thanks for the stems! Stevie Wonder style ? Ah that explains it. I should have been shaking my head from side to side like crazy and the mix would have sat just right!!
	. permalink ScOmBer Wed, Jan 21, 2009 @ 3:20 PM Hey RT, the I’ve uploaded the stems. They are waiting for a good old crooning.
gurdonark 1793 Reviews	. permalink Wed, Jan 21, 2009 @ 3:46 AM The piano, bass and percussion envelop in which you wrap this lyric sounds great, and the organ is the nicest touch (perhaps it’s a tiny bit too low in the mix). The “nightclub feel” of the mix, almost a live-ish feel, is very nice. The bass line roves just right for what you’re trying to do here—not too busy, but consistently interesting. Smooth. Very smooth. I miss the piano or Hammond gentle instrumental section that usually punctuates the middle of this type of song. Of course, a sax solo would be fun, too :) A gospel/blues feel that really makes this vocal shine. Great job. Amazingly good mix.
