Classic epic rock. It makes me want to get my guitar out and jam along.

@Hobbio - 3 points
Nice use of the delay timing. Really like the lift at 39s. Hints of "One of these days".

@Steamabacus - 1 point
Classy jazz feel. All of your recordings and ideas have a clever elegance and professional polish. I'm listening and learning. I'm voting on the riff, otherwise this would have been the top,

If I think 'riff' this is the sort of thing I hear in my head - fab

@Stratman3142  3 points

Awesome groove

@Steamabacus  1 point

Really like how it's a simple phrase but the arrangement makes for an interesting listen - that's clever

I'd turn that up if it started playing on the radio.

3 Points - @TimmyO

I do like groovy classic rock riffs.

1 Point - @MarkV

That would be perfect as the backing music to montage in CSI

Thanks for the votes Gents much appreciated
Mine are
5 points @TimmyO - Deserved it for that tone alone ... That's glorious. Crunchy rich and deep I love it. Riff is obviously right up my street
3 points @stratman3142 (I hope that's not your PIN) for not only doing a Bass Riff but doing a cool Bass Riff
1 point for @Steamabacus just all round quality. One of the more consistent entrants in this wee section. Almost always in my points somewhere

Sorry to those who missed out
I couldn't quite work out the riff in Marcvs. Hobbio unluckily fell foul of my extreme dislike of U2 and I thought Kins was a little bit too 'derivative' (which was forewarned in the title to be fair)
Good to see more entries this month
All great quality

hobbio

I also hate U2, which is why I was surprised and shocked to discover that, yes, my entry is a bit U2.

I've had a listen, I'll post my votes tonight when I'm home.

1st (5points) - @stratman3142 ; Mmmm - funky! (Don't you have the wrong username for this?)

2nd (3points) - @Cabicular ; Woah! That mix compression! I think you should have my track title - it's all so wrong and yet it works so well.

3rd (1 point) - @Markv ; Is it a riff? Who cares! Dark and atmospheric.

Chuffing hell - wasn't expecting votes let alone that many points :-) Fair chuffed for my first tentative effort. 

The sounds were all done with Scuffham Amps S-Gear - one of the factory presets just tweaked a bit to create 2 new versions. Then a stereo widener on the loud rhythm bits in the 2nd half. 

I wanted to have a Bass track in there too but I used all my mental energy learning my new interface and recording software so stopped while I was still in one piece.
