It's called "The Sting". Funky, modern soundtrack type stuff - I'd seen Ocean's Eleven the day before, and Holmes' score to that just _rocked_. It's not perfect yet - piano and mixing need tweaking - but hell, it's fun. Cheeky Blur sample not withstanding. Strongly recommended to download (651kb) rather than stream. In my user profile.
Please listen. And no, I don't know where the break came from - trying to remember, though.

Come on, people; couldn't someone listen to my stuff for once? I've bothered to upload it, after all...

I like this kind of music but I think if you're not doing it live, it sounds best when you do a bit of studio trickery. I know he's the guy to love-to-hate but I think that huge fatboy slim track "funk soul brutha" did that really well. since you're never gonna really cop that live vibe, you should exploit the medium you're working in. no disrespect though--I just have a lot of opinions. good work.

The guitar's the first two bars of a Blur track, "There's No Other Way". I might have a noodle with a filter or something on it, fake up some wah. I do prefer it tighter and scratchier, I guess - not quite Nile Rogers, but almost!
I have been a bit lazy with the new sampler - have been slowly building up a library from the net, mapping out some drumkits (need to do an 808 set), Teledisking some stuff like the Rhodes over and playing with breaks. I really ought to sit down and do a found-sound only track, but it'll take time - and seeing as I'm really busy with Uni work, it can wait. This summer... three months of holiday... or at least studio time
But thanks for the tips, knowa; and you're right on the Fatboy Slim reference... just in terms of arrangement, there's stuff in him that's worth looking at (and whilst I think that second album was bollocks, the third one rates relatively highly in my book). Cool. Good to feel I'm making some kind of progress... if it is a little slow because of the pressures of academia.

I had an idea for a script once. It's basically Jaws except when the guys in the boat are going after Jaws, they look around and there's an even bigger Jaws. The guys have to team up with Jaws to get Bigger Jaws.... I call it... Big Jaws!!!
