thanks Paul i can totally see the retirement scene. maybe i can take out the bird sounds and sell it to a pharmaceutical company for their next misleading commercial: "Benzinex, brings aging to a halt. Side effects may include shortness of breath, sudden death and irregularity in some individuals.: thanks for listening. martin denny is actually kind of cheesy 60's loung music that has been absorbed by tiki culture. he's got a Hawaiian theme going, so you always hear birds and rain in his stuff. i love his sound though.

michael I hear you. I need a mental break too! I've been getting to know your work more, and I'm a fan! Hard to tell--if it's for a soundtrack-type deal, it feels like a Mothersbaugh/Wes Anderson feel, and the mix sounds good. If you were going for a more ambient sound, I'd suggest bringing the nature sounds up more in the mix. This is all my opinion, and I'm no expert. Check out my latest song called Insomnia

estellie thanks for listening. i'll take Mothersbaugh any day, i love his stuff. i end up doing a lot of instrumental stuff as recording vox is probably more than my poor family can take. next time i have a good pop melody though, i want to get you to sing some vox with me. thanks for coming by.

surreal wonderful ambience to this. I think the vibe may sit a little on top but otherwise flawless. Creative with the threaded nature noise. Really sweet Check out my latest song called Blackwater (by Tokai)

thanks Karmatoburn vibe is too loud, agreed. i'm really glad that you like the piece itself. i may try re-mixing when i get a chance. only problem is, if i am going to invest the time on something, i get antsy; meaning a re-mix would probably end up as something completely different. thanks a bunch for stopping by and commenting.

Martin Denny@ Yes this is so Martin Denny without the tropical, instead this is like a North American woodsy Martin Denny Great work Here, very imaginative! |

what the? this is different. You never cease to amaze me. I have no idea who Martin Denney is. But no big deal. Nice, melody and very loungy. Evokes a mental image of you appearing on the Ed Sullivan Show with your vibraphone, with velvet wrapped around it. Check out my latest song called Feeding The Sharks

thanks Vic you gotta check out Martin Denny. some of it as hokey as can be, and some of it is truly amazing. he does an amazing version of the Hawaiian Wedding Song.

yeah..... :) This sounds like a nice vacation, all right...

the mix sounds fine at my end What a peaceful mood and ambience. I can almost smell the clear air that's present after a storm. For me the sounds of the birds where correctly placed in the mix. You've created a feeling of perspective and distance to every object in place. Well done:) Check out my latest song called The King has left

thanks Thoddi glad you enjoyed. the bird sounds were probably the hardest to blend in. although they were recorded very well, there are some birds that are just way louder than others. thanks so much for listening and for your kind words. Check out my latest song called Jazz Glitch Dub Experiment

You know I went right to Martin Denny before I read the description. I think his music was written to be played in fall-out shelters while the kids play checkers and you open another can of spam. Think you did a great job here - the balance sounds good to me. Check out my latest song called She's Gonna Blow

i'm surprised that more folks don't know Martin Denny. Your description of him is awesome; i could see the same folks who decided that pink was a soothing color come up with the idea of playing him to the "poor unfortunates to lighten their mood." chemical free anti-depressant. thanks for listening.

Very nice It's just shy of 7 am on a Friday here, and shortly I'll be heading out into the snowy world for another day, and frankly, I'm just not in the mood! However, this helps. Hee hee! Thanks, dude. I like this a lot. I'll second (or third or fourth) the apparent consensus that the vibes are a little forward, but it's a tiny nit to pick. I'm with lavalamp - hidden track that pops up 2 minutes after the "last" song ends. Very cool. Peace. Check out my latest song called Across the Wire (MJRF)

I expect some heavy rock and what do I get a side I never heard from you. I enjoy this, there was a great organist years ago. I think his name was Earl Grant, but he would make sounds like this and put in nature and animal sound etc. This tune brings me back! You did it. Thanks for transporting me in time back to some of those very precious tunes! Way to go and you put a smile on my face in the process! Check out my latest song called They Went Underground

incidental music Very pleasant choice and mix of sounds. The balance between the instruments sounds fine to me, and so does the reverb. It reminded me of PeeWee's Playhouse, with the vibes and bird sound-effects, and mood. The chord progressions are predictable but create a certain feeling of order, sanity and peace after the intensity of a storm. Very effective. I would have liked to hear a more distinctive melody in this piece; it sounded a little like music minus-one. The vibes came closest to a melody -- perhaps imitate it in other instruments to give it more of a punch. Nice work overall. Check out my latest song called Trio for Horn, Violin & Piano

Has Maxis contacted you yet? The first thing I thought of when hearing this was "The Sims" - and I do mean that as a compliment. This has such a laid-back and relaxed feeling, much like the soundtrack to "The Sims" (I can almost smell the dry wall tool). :) Seriously, though - I really like this. A very cozy piece of music. I do agree with Cameron about the melody, though. But still, very nice work. -Einar S. Check out my latest song called "I Hate Goodbyes"

This is just fine the way you have uploaded it, in my opinion.
The tune side reminds me of a scene of people in a retirement home. (Don't know about the howling noise though, in this context).
I'd never heard of Martin Denny so I've learned about someone else, here on MJ's. I love information sharing!!
Take care.
