I liked it a lot!! vintage vibes

I liked it a lot!! vintage vibes :) <3

This is really fun and accomplishes something I think is very rare - a complete sound that is so on point for its "retro" qualities in every way that it actually surprises you when you first hear it, because it sounds like something you forgot - and that's really hard to do and I think you executed perfectly there and its been a long time since I have heard anything that created that effect. And yet it evolves then too, goes unexpected places and becomes very beautiful and calm. There's also this "broken loop" thing happening with the bass and percussion I am sorta addicted to, reminds me of a similar effect in The Background World by NIN... which is my rambling way to saying this is awesome lol

Love it. The lofi effect is spot on here. I'll echo neon on the true vintage feel on this. You nailed it. The vocal is special too. Can you say where it/they they are from?

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it

Very sincere words, very touching.

If you look up miguel dega and ricardo gomez, i found a record of theirs ages ago which exposed me to their work. They would do a bunch of mixing tricks (they were beat matching before i know of anyone else doing it) and would make megamixes in the early 80s of disco tracks by cutting and joining tape. On reflection this here is heavily channelling the italo-disco tracks they would play, and i guess mimics the tape cutting also.

I shortened the last bar in the phrase by a step and then wrote the melody to that, i hesitated doing it but kept on with it as it has a hypnotic quality where the phase never quite seems to end. If you listen to the Pixies Black Francis does it all the time.

Thanks so much, very kind of you to say as much. The vocal is from a city pop song Bay City by Junko Yagami which i sampled some years ago and never touched. I'd nearly got everything in place for the song but felt it needed a voice in there, dropped in nicely.

This has a lovely vibe. It has that 70s disco space vibe. I'm not a massive fan of the snare sound. I feel it's a bit too aggressive for this type of song. With everything else so smooth sounding. But it's a good anchor for the groove, so yeah. Anyway, sweet tune!

Fair call, must admit I didn't really give it an objective listen before you mentioned it. Cheers for the kind words
