Ala Ska

  • Artist: The Sole
  • Title: Ala Ska
  • Genre: Ska
  • Year: 2009
  • Length: 4:28 minutes (6.62 MB)
  • Format: Stereo 44kHz 207Kbps (VBR)

Another ska track... this one is an instrumental. I recon vox could work in it in the foreseeable future. But who knows what the future holds? Again with the genre naming I had to go with reggae as that is the closest genre available. Enjoy listening to it like I enjoyed making it. If you want it log on to maketunes to download it.

this is pretty cool to me , but i didn't register as ska or reggae to me , it felt very spanish like a flamenco sample or something , but then again i doon't listen to ska , all i know is no doubt , but still a cool track , can't wait to see who you pick for the vocals.

HE WHO IS , WHO HE IS

HE THAT IS CALLED I AM

Thanks Vodka. It does have some spanish influence but it is definitely ska. I have done my research because of going after the reggae genre. Here is a link to some early ska and reggae examples which I have based some research on. Someone at maketunes(Ingrid I think) told me about this site. Right now this track is open for vox from whoever is ballsy enough to work it over.

Cool tune! I can see VM's point, without vocals this may even qualify as chillout, but it has that afterbeat guitar chord that is typical of reggae and ska.

I'm looking forward to the track with vocals.

Thanks M4j0rbumm3r for checking it out!

This song has a great feel. It reminds of a song off an old Wyclef Jean Album called Sang Fezi where all the lyrics were in Haitian Creole. It will be interesting to hear your vocal when it's done. I get the feeling that I am walking around a seedy part of Paris checking out the working girls. Not that that is something I have ever done... but it's the feeling I get. The tone on you acoustic is nice and the synth orchestration really opens up the track and provides a lot of depth.

Yo Sole, this is great, I love the off-beat guitar strums, sounds great. Also like the scratchy melody lead guitar.
The melody is really good my friend.

I'd almost put this as Latin-Euro style.

Great stuff,

Mike

Thanks for listening Mike! I don't know why but for some reason that latino flavor has been sprinkling onto my tracks as of late. There is no reason for this and I am 100 percent Irish, and have been watching all 6 seasons of Sopranos which is Italian. It must be what 'THE MAN' has been putting in my tap water... lol

HORNS!!!!!! Without them, its NOT ska... I'm gonna educate the fucking hell out of you when I come thru in a couple of weeks (PoH told you that its been postponed right? he gets off probation on the 2nd, so I'm coming thru that following weekend which would be the 5th and 6th)... Have your pencils and notebooks ready homey! I like the structure of the song and the sounds are real nice, but let me horn this up for you with Kontakt 3. I can already hear the horn Line I'm gonna use. HORNS!!!!!

Take two of these beats, and call me in the morning. Doctor's orders!

Horns Smorns! Do your justice! FN POH damn you bro! The next week? GD it man! I gotta wait another week? Horns! You gotta hook a brother up! I'm gonna save my pennies and nickels for the class of plantation. So bring your export and your education and get here on the 5th and the 6th because this student is ready to learn! If POH aint ready for schoolin then he will have to apply for GED or something. Next time he needs to knock the fuckin pig out when a power line is involved. It beats paying the court costs to fatten the pockets of some fat politician. Do the kontakt justice Doc and I will tell my boss and POH? You owe me man. Got to bring your gardening results into the pic because I got two killer beats for you to flow with man. Ripe for the takin' and you both know the subject matter involved. Til then peace and Doc? I will call you man!

I [heart] horns! Blame PoH!! I was ready for this weekend, but the following weekend makes it better, cuz I'll have more $$$ set aside for gas and "party favors" *wink wink*. I just got Komplete reinstalled on my PC. Its 12 DVDs and i had to start over because DVD #7 was missing!! ARRRGGGHHH!!!!! Found it, and got it installed last night. I'll throw som serious horns in it. Kontakt is THE SHIT!!!

Take two of these beats, and call me in the morning. Doctor's orders!

Okay ... a week later with party favors *wink wink* what call I say?:0) Go ahead too with the horns addition to this song. Do you need the wav version? Do you wanna wait until you are here at my house to do it or you want me to send you the wav?

Doctor Ryzl's picture

I'll use the mp3 to lay down my stuff, and then I'll mix it at your place with the wav. Oh and if you have about 60gb (or less, we can trim this down, but it needs at least 15gb) of space free anywhere I have a super duper uber goody for you.... one that'll make your VST instrument rack turn from gold to platinum! Alchemy buddy!

Take two of these beats, and call me in the morning. Doctor's orders!
