Nigerian Symphony (w/ Norm)

Wicked! This is a new horizon for me, like it :]

Nice crystal clear samples, dropped in at perfect times. ideal for this percussion track

Very cool!!

I feel trapped in an amazonian magicly tropical universe travelling through different vortexes!

Its like your there!

Just listened to this on big speakers... Wow....

surrounded and immersed

I missed out big time!!! Lol! I passed through Bauchi State when I went to Abakaliki in Ebonyi state.... The landscape was like something from jurrasic park.... I wish i saw some of those beasties..... I guess I didn't stay long enough.. Always next time! Love the track!

I did some research on Norm's Bembe beat which has Nigerian roots, then found Yankari National Park in Nigeria which does have rich wildlife resources. The park is an important refuge for over 50 species of mammal including African Bush Elephant, Olive Baboon, Patas Monkey, Tantalus Monkey, Roan Antelope, Western Hartebeest, Lion, African Buffalo, Waterbuck, Bushbuck and Hippopotamus. :)

I've been to Nigeria... Never saw any Lions or Tigers there... But this has got me thinking... Awesome track!!!!

This is great Rick. It's very REAL!

Sounds like we're back at The Lion King!

Ha! Yep, you're a kid - you probably love going to the zoo - if for nothing else but to capture more sound samples. Don't ever loose that. Forget the stove.

Where's the love?!

I think you are losing it...you could of done this on a Saturday and got the stove fixed at the same time :)

Made me want to eat somebody.

Ha! Good one! If I didn't keep my kids out of the studio while I was recording the conga tracks, it would have sounded a lot like this originally. And I want to go to Brian's pub.

Sounds like my pub on a saturday night.

I had to turn around to make sure there wasn't a snake behind me!

Jungletastic!!!

ahahah excellent! was meant to happen, i guess..

Great effects - I was actually there, bro!
