Hippocritic Funk
Yeah. What a cool piece of groove from Alice and Marc here. Was really looking forward to getting stuck into this. But...
I'm not sure what happened overnight but I think my drumming went on holiday. I just couldn't get my usual flow going today so, to overcritical me, this performance just feels a little clunky - contrived, even. Maybe the patterns are too busy? Something's just 'not right' with my feel on this. Perhaps I should revisit it some time. ...

schwaglr Hey, man! Cool of you to share your work even if you're not 100% sure about it. That makes for interesting conversation and learning!
I'm hearing what you're talking about in a few fills, but not in the groove itself. Drums sound nice, and cool textural choices for rhythms throughout. Filling up the beats, but not overfilling. I'm ever a fan of your stuff!+1

mpointon Thanks, schwaglr. I'm glad you agree it's clumsy in places! I'm always happy to listen to constructive criticism.
It's always the way for me: the ones I most look forward to I'm the least happy with! +0

aleonz Martin! hahahha I think I know where that title inspired from :), for me I think you might just trying not to overdo the track, and drown me and marc, I listen to this track 3 times in a row, and the more I listen the more I feel it work very well with me & marc tracks,and that little syncopation, and half-baked samba toward the end, also sounds cool to my ears :), This me telling my honest opinion ,not being hypocrite LOL but well, You guys know how I admire your drums and Marc's keys, so everything from me will come very sweet hahahah (explain yourself Alice!) muahahahah oh I'm laughing here! thank you very much Martinnnnn! so so glad you are here !+1

mpointon Thank you, Alice. I've decided the problem is the over-busy kick in the main riff! That's what's bugging me! +0
