Description

LIOLI submission #3...with apologies to Isaac Hayes, Curtis Mayfield & every utha bad Mutha on da streets!
Bits of loopyness & a rather blunt pencil were used in the destruction of this track...
It just goes to show that too much coffee can be bad for you...

	He's a bad mutha.... Shut your mouth. But I'm just talkin' about, Doof!! Check out my latest song called Sweet Smell Of Success

	Get down! and all that funky kinda stuff. I see Isaac Hayes in the later stages of his life, cruising through the Candelo markets balancing a stack of "Home Made Icecreams" in all their psychedelic flavours, being fed the contents by some local soul sisters. Best not to think sometimes ;) Lots of fun Alf - now get back to work! Nice one, Neil Check out my latest song called Under My Skin

'Isaac Hayes' ice cream brand...
...also known as 'the Chef' in the 'South Park' cartoon....well, hmmm, I won't be making 'chocolate salty balls' ice cream....(if you know the cartoon- you'll know what I mean)

....but we hope to @ least sell our own versions (...legal, of course!)

...OK, OK, Now I'm going back to work (sheesh, even my local Macjammer pal reckons I spend too much time on this site!) ;)

Cheers, my Friend!
All The Best,
Alf

	get on down with yo bad self. The brass section really worked well in here. . - Harold

alfalpha	alfalpha said 965 days ago (March 18th, 2007)
	the brass... ...section has decided to go on strike after my subjecting them to hours of cruel arrangements. Being a trumpet player myself I thought it better this way! Many Thanks Harold! --- Variety is the spice of life...(we're only scratching the surface...) Check out my latest song called Mania- w/DavisAmerica-The 'Sprout' Remix

Magritte	Magritte said 967 days ago (March 17th, 2007)
	What is this about again?? It took me the entire song to read all your keywords. :-) You kept it simple, yet made something unique. Your soundbed is a perfect flashback -- strings, piano, flute and all. This is so evocative, I think I might have put it under film scoring although of course disco works perfectly well. Check out my latest song called Tango Macabre

alfalpha	alfalpha said 967 days ago (March 17th, 2007)
	Magritte... ...I also had the problem of genre selection....perhaps 'crappy rip-off' might be the most accurate. (;)) Thank you so much for popping around! (LOVED your take btw!) --- Variety is the spice of life...(we're only scratching the surface...) Check out my latest song called Mania- w/DavisAmerica-The 'Sprout' Remix

	Inspector Alf This music comes straight out of a seventies TV detective series! Splendid tune, Alf, lots of fun, and i just looove the brass section.... Great production as well. - Walter Check out my latest song called boundaries

alfalpha	alfalpha said 965 days ago (March 18th, 2007)
	I would say.. ...that this piece came out of a 70's Defective Series! LOL! I really 'Shafted' this one...;) Cheers Walter! --- Variety is the spice of life...(we're only scratching the surface...) Check out my latest song called Mania- w/DavisAmerica-The 'Sprout' Remix

	Do you think... ,,,it's safe to be listening to this piece, whilst trying to catch trains? Please be careful! Thank You Youra! --- Variety is the spice of life...(we're only scratching the surface...) Check out my latest song called Mania- w/DavisAmerica-The 'Sprout' Remix

	said 966 days ago (March 17th, 2007)
	Nice Job! Alfalpha, this sounds great! Straight outta the '70's sound- I can't help but think about shows like Starsky & Hutch, or Kojack while listening. This would have made a good track for those T.V. shows, I think.

alfalpha	alfalpha said 965 days ago (March 18th, 2007)
	Cliches are... ....are my middle name...'Chupachup' might have been a good title for this ;) Cheers & Thanks Mikey! --- Variety is the spice of life...(we're only scratching the surface...) Check out my latest song called Mania- w/DavisAmerica-The 'Sprout' Remix

	Yeah, what he said This is cool, cliches and all... man, you really made the funk work for you, and the strings, tamborine, bass tone, horns, everything reinforces that sweet 70's grooviness. Very cool. Check out my latest song called Machine Man (w Beastie Boys)

alfalpha	alfalpha said 965 days ago (March 18th, 2007)

alfalpha	alfalpha said 965 days ago (March 18th, 2007)
	I really hope... ...you don't get fired for dancing on your desk! (Assuming that you're at work) If you're not at work, I hope you don't get fired for dancing to this tune anyway! LOL!

	Coulda sworn I posted my comment - this morning but it's been a busy day. You hit this so head on - you're one bad mutha. Great production from the wah bass to the strings and horns. Well done! Check out my latest song called Expanding Toys (Halloween Remix)

alfalpha	alfalpha said 965 days ago (March 18th, 2007)
	it seems that... ...we both had a touch of nostalgia, you w/ your great take on Mancini (w/ a touch of surrealism) & my dismal rehash of the 70's! ;-) Cheers Bud! --- Variety is the spice of life...(we're only scratching the surface...)

Awesome!
I 'member the time before, y'see, when the jive was no jive... but yoots today... they don' understand the jive. They see the hair, an' the collared shirts an' cars big enough to put another car in, an' they just laugh, they thinks it's FUNNY an' all, but they don' think about how we was lookin' with the hair an' the shirts an' drivin' to the dance, slappin' on enough aftershave to make our eyes bleed. This is the music when we was COOL, dancin' with girls an' pretendin' our eyes weren't bleedin' from the aftershave.

(With apologies to Bill Cosby)

alfalpha	alfalpha said 965 days ago (March 18th, 2007)
	at least you... ...only have to apologise to Bill Cosby....my sins are far greater & I think my penance will have to encompass the entire music of the 70's!

	Coffey Time Man you brought out some memories with this loop-oh-phage. Nice cutting. Yeah, reminded me of all those ghetto movie tunes of old and that of that great guitar player who played behind much of that genre, Dennis Coffey ( http://www.denniscoffeysite.com/ ), who's still playing these days.

	D'oh! I just realised I never commented on this! Sorry dude. Man, this sounds like Starsky and Hutch have teamed up with Shaft to catch SuperFly. Meanwhile TNT Jackson is kicking everyone's ass. Curtis Mayfield has joined the James Taylor Quartet and everyone's wearing flares. Excellent stuff. Check out my latest song called Iceland

	Hilarious The chuggachugga guitar, then the piano, the strings, the flute..... It all makes me say "where have I heard this before". This is a most excellent ripoff of every blaxploitation soundtrack cliche. Check out my latest song called Tandernaken (Henry VIIIth)
