Interesting

Reminds me a bit of the opening theme for 'Desert Punk'.

I always respect a man who can use trumpets...

People say funk is dead. It's thanks to people like you that I can say they're wrong. I actually danced to this

i came..

ive been going around newgrounds making a compilation album for my itunes library and i stumbled upon what im hearing as i type this to be the holy grail of a diamond encrusted unicorn that was made in Valhalla. thank you for blessing my ears kind sir. also, IT LOOPS ITSELF PERFECTLY!!! KEEP IT UP!

Hahaha, these are the good things to read! Thanks for your enthausiasm! Glad you like it!

I ... I couldn't help myself.

I broke into dance and I ruined my living room.

Best I've heard in a long time

It's a really good composition, true to what funk is. The guitar was just grand with the muting and the trumpets were spot-on. If I may make some suggestions for the drums though, I feel like the hats (or cymbals, I can't really tell) should be doubled when everything else shuts down (at 00:35 for example) just to give it that extra kick. Also, I felt like the transition to the piano was too harsh, and although the actual piano riff fits in nicely, the tempo was completely thrown off (slowed down) in a very abrupt manner. Nonetheless, since this is only a demo, I'm sure these minor details are not a worry. All in all, this is great work. I wish your band the best.

ChrisisD responds:

Thanks for your excessive review! I really apreciate this kind of reviews with suggestions! The thing is with this demo is that I played everything myself with Reason 5. We'll go to the studio somewhere in June. The slow piano part, I guess you're right about the transition. We're going to look into that! Thanks again!
Greets, Chris
