Reviewer 336 - "That lick sounds familiar"

[Casey H]

Matt
Cool track... Not my genre but I liked it.

I would definitely lose the intro. It's long and doesn't match the vibe of the rest of the track.

I didn't hear (especially after the intro) any "familiar" lick that would be a problem (*MY* POV).

One important thing. For film/TV, you always need a "clean" version with no explicit language. Not sure how to work that with a Taxi listing, it's something you can ask Taxi about. Maybe it's a matter of just indicating at top of the lyrics "Clean Version Available". Or submitting both the original and the clean, but of course that would cost 2x as much.

Best,
Casey

@Vanderboegh - Yeah, that's the pitfall, I guess - I really wanted to do something that was cliche, blues-wise, and make the fusion the real centrepiece of the thing. Glad you like it, though! And I'll pass on your compliments re the rap. Timing-wise: I think there's a problem in the bass riff - there's a gap between two notes that's just sliiiiightly too long. I'm planning on re-recording that part fortunately (there's some electrical buzz in there that I didn't notice until it was mastered).

@Casey H - Thanks for the pointer on the explicit version - I've been careful to check the listings I've sent it to, but I see that a clean version immediately opens up more avenues. I like the idea of losing the intro, although I'll have to run that past the guy I co-wrote it with!
