Alan,
Glad to see you posting. Neat, tropical blend. Lead guitar adds an interesting melodic twists. Nice chord progression and mix. Listens very smoothly. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.
P.S."Free time is a rarer treat" - so true. HI Misha ... It's always a pleasure when you drop in for a listen! And thank you for the very nice comments. "Interesting melodic twists" - I like that. Thanks! Alan

"The song has what I like to call an indigenous "relaxed energy". I tried to capture the exotic culture of the islands, the carefree ambience, plus the excitement of the numerous fiestas and carnivals." Yes a very relaxed piece of music that did capture all that you said. Super instrumentation and mix. To nitpick the only things missing where a fruity rum drink in my hand and some steel drums  . I loved it as it is - great work. Hey Mario ... Thanks for affirming I accomplished what I was striving for. I'll fax you the rum drink - hope it doesn't mess up your fax machine! I initially had some steel drums but took them out as, even in small doses, they seemed to steal away the other genre influences. Many thanks for the kind words. Take care! Alan

That was a pleasant four minutes spent - I could almost hear the surf! Hi David ... I'm delighted I could add a littler pleasure to a few minutes of your day. Watch out for that surf ... could give you swimmer's ear. Alan

Apart from the obvious tropical vibe, this is also one of the highest clarity mixes I have heard on this forum.
Good work!
Rob Hi Rob ... Thank you so much. As far as the clarity in the mix ... I have to give the credit to Soundcloud's mastering service. They have several mastering options and I chose the one I thought would best work for this song. I was very pleased with the improvement in the master copy. But thank you for the very kind comments! Best to you and Anne-Marie Alan

Ah, two of my favorite popsicles. MAN, THIS IS SO GOOD, aL.. i WANT A WHOLE ALBUM OF THIS STUFF. (SORRY my caps lock stuck) Man, you sound so good in the city, in the country and on the islands. And they're all such good travelling songs. "indigenous 'relaxed energy'" indeed. This relaxed energy, rather than belonging to a particular place is more like an innate relaxing energy that is part of our human makeup. You struck that chord, Al.

Bob Thanks so much, Bob! And yeah, that particular track is nice. But it is sometimes a challenge as volume wants to drop and rise at its own will. Thanks again! Alan

Thanks, Torrey Hi Torrey ... Thank you very much. You are extremely kind with your comments. I do, indeed, spent as much time previewing tracks as I do assembling them and doing the all the touchup and final mix. It's as much fun as it is work. Again, many thanks. Alan

This is another very good example how to create interesting and original music with BIAB. This one, like many of your songs, should be one that PG Music uses to sell BIAB. Very relaxing mood with nice chord progression. Instruments support the carefree island feeling very well.
