80's New Wave instro doesn't make it ...

I really should have chosen a 22.5" kick with a 0.75 mm head instead of a 22.25" with the 0.5 mm skin. The latter is SO MUCH MORE June, 1989 than May, 1985.

LOL, yeah and if you're going May '85 it better Tama! (Sonor would def be too "November" for this listing.)

Really good stab at it Peter! I Like It!
I can understand your dismay after the work put into it.
My guess is...
In the Dispatch listing Taxi mentioned "Urgently" and "She"
So I'm thinking that "She" was the actual screener looking for the right song without spending time to critic...
but instead, find "The" song and run back to the film's editing room so the workflow could continue on the movie.
Feels to me that she found one she really liked before hearing yours and finished the screening to see if anything would Top what she had already heard.
That would explain why the critique was short and sweet, to let you know that it WAS GOOD in her ears.
That is how it can be seen as a positive.
(This is seriously just a guess)

Absolutely yours will be a winner in a library!

haha, Uncle!! On a similar note, I tried to do a soft rock, Eagles-style instro about a year ago (that couldn't have sounded anymore Eagles without being sued) and the only thing the screener said in the return notes were, and I quote - "The hi hat is phasing with the tambourine." Here it is, for curiosity: https://soundcloud.com/moanakeiki/agave ... -dangelo-c


Thank you, Cass!!
I can dig the hypothetical, but it would have been nice if the screener mentioned something like that.
Time to dust myself off and write some more,

soft rock, Eagles-style instro

Very nice piece! That's gotta have a placement in a library somewhere, no? (I mean, it would if it didn't .02 dB of excessive sibilance on the bottom head of the third rack tom. At least that's what killed it for me)

Feels to me that she found one she really liked before hearing yours and finished the screening to see if anything would Top what she had already heard.

This would makes sense.

Ummmmm, Billy ....

There are NO rack toms in that song!!!

But seriously, Thanks for checking it out!!

[cassmcentee]

Peter, was driving around today thinkin' about it...
Were not all 80's girls into Duran Duran?!?!?!
Should've mocked up a similar version to "Hungry like a Wolf" ! Hah!

[PeterD]

haha, Cass!!

That's actually a really cool tune!!
Speaking of which, check out some of the solo'd tracks from that song here:

So cool to hear them dissected 30 years later

It is always amazing to hear a well known song broken down...
Thanks for that Peter!
...it lead me down a YouTube "rabbit-hole" that I couldn't stop chasing... Hah!

[PeterD]

Anytime, Cass!!

I hear ya, about going off on Youtube tangents.
