Dirty Loops' first original number

[xilddx]

It's very good, lots of thrills for musicians and, I sincerely hope, non-musicians

Had this on repeat all day...... Love it. Can't wait for the Album!

[steve-bbb]

yes am liking this also very much - when i first saw it on facespace i was trying to think who did the original of 'hit me' until i noticed the comment about it being their first original offering

I must be in the minority of those who these guys do absolutely nothing for. Polished technique and slick production and arranging, but it's just too much for me to enjoy both as a musician and general listener.

no you are not. doesn't touch me at all this time.

[LukeFRC]

I would love it if this sort of thing ended up on radio one.

[crez5150]

I'm really intruiged to hear the rest of the album.....

[nottswarwick]

Our guitarist is well into these.

I am vey impressed technically, but I won't choose to listen to it. It bores me to be honest.

But it say again, there is some mighty talent on show.

However, today I have been teaching the solo at the end of Dire Straits, Tunnel Of Love. Knopfler uses such feel and taste, and it is not that hard technically. But it MOVES me. And that is MUSIC.

in my opinion, obv.

Carry on

Doesn't do lot for me either.

Not much funk in there either to my ears.

Dirty Loops aren't really my thing either. Some of their stuff is great but its not something I'd choose to put on. However, I'd pick them all day every day over the absolute codswallop crap that is Dire Straits

[Kiwi]

I love how tight they are although they're so tight with the stabs at times its bordering on OCD. I think they will gain more respect doing their own material than rehashing other songs because not all the songs they've played fit into their playing style. I wish the bass was fatter in the mix because the keyboards and drums seem to dominate everything which is a shame because Henrik is doing some interesting stuff..

[kevin_lindsay]

Nope, doesn't do anything for me I'm afraid.

[paul_5]

Not dirty. Not looped. I might do them under the 'trades descriptions act'.

Fantastically gifted players but I find their arrangements boring and technical for the sake of it. We all know they can play play but they have about as much soul as a Sibelius midi arrangement IMO.

I agree, best place for it...I don't listen to radio 1.

A demonstration by technically gifted people indulging in showboating and making music completely soulless.

[jackers]

I like the music, but the guy's voice reminds me too much of all those new style RnB singers, which I really don't like.

[/quote] the technical gifting is a step up from most the stuff on the radio....

I've just had to listen to a bit of Slave followed by the Ohio Players to floss my brain after watching that video.

[chris_b]

Good musicianship and a lot of great ideas. These are talented players.

I liked it, even if it did make me feel totally inadequate.

[Guest]

I lasted about halfway through before I got bored with it.
No Funk present really but obviously very talented and gifted folk.
