Here I am, back again. I've added a song to my site. It's only missing
a few things:
a real drummer
someone who can play bass
someone who can sing
an entire band that really knows how to play reggae
You know, just a few things ;-) This is more a proof of concept than
anything else. It's really all about the story (which is on the site).
For those interested, the implements of destruction are:
Home-made guitar ;-)
Roland GR-9 guitar synth (organ)
Mesa Boogie Maverick Dual Rectifier 212
Digitech RP250
Blue Ball mic
ESP 854 bass through an Art Pro Channel
Alesis SR-16

Oh, the name of the song is "Joe Black" (ya gotta read the story to
understand).

It sounds ok. But one important tip about reggae. The rhythm is mostly a so
called "one drop" which means that the 1 is not emphasized. Instead the
emphasis is on the beats 2 and 4 [or on beat 3 depending on how you count]:
time: 1 . . . 2 . . . 3 . . . 4 . . .
guitar: | | | |
kick: | |
A reggae with emphasis/kick on 1 simply doesn't sound right :) Or better: A
reggae with emphasis ONLY on 1 doesn't sound right..
Here's an example of a very simple reggae "riddim" just to illustrate the
point:

Ann to drive the point, here's the master of reggae, Bob:

[the song starts after 20 seconds or so]
In this song "natural mystic" even the bass doesn't play on the 1 :)

Ah ok, from your post it sounded a bit as if you weren't that knowledgeable in
the area of reggae :) My apologies..

Thanks for this great tip! Do you normally put any swing on the beats,
or is it just straight?
Chris.

Finally I got around listening to this song. Cool! Keep up the good work.
It sure sounds like a reggae from someone just starting with that style but
its good already. Thats what you get when you mix styles, thats actually a
good thing and shows you are not just in your own style without any further
development...

Hi Jan. Sorry for the slow feedback, I just DL'd it this afternoon. That's one
really cool bit of work.
I'm into allsorts of music. Trance, Drum n Bass, Dub, and even classical
piano. I like Reggae too, especially the heavy bass lines, and what you've
produced here is close enough to Reggae for me.
No problem with the vocals. Great singing.
Read the story. A bit sick how poor folks are conned into thinking they can
win on a lottery, when in reality the only one sure of winning is Joe Black.
Nigel.

Taking a purely 'listeners' view, I really like this. It is a very
smooth polished performance. Everything sounds well balanced and the
singing is very clear, on time and on pitch!
