IT`S VALENTINES DAY 2008 :D
SO I DECIDED TO UPLOAD "LOVE POWER", ONE OF MY ELECTRONIC-DANCE TRACKS FROM MY "CYBER DRUMS" CD.
"LOVE POWER" WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN FOR THE LOVE PARADE 2004, WHICH UNFORTUNATELY NEVER HAPPENED. BECAUSE THE LOVE PARADE WAS CANCELED, AND DIDN`T HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL 2007, WITH MAJOR CHANGES IN THE STAFF THAT RUN IT. ANYWAY, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH FOR ME IN THE ELECTRONIC MUSIC WORLD.
"LOVE POWER IS A VERY POWERFUL ELECTRONIC TRACK WITH A SWEET MELODY.
THE BASIC THEME OF THE SONG IS "LOVE POWER", THE STRONGEST POWER IN THE WORLD.
WE NEED MORE "LOVE POWER", AND LESS HATE POWER, AND THE WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE.

DICARLO; EVERYTHING
ADDED; THIS TRACK WAS COMPOSED ON AN ALESIS QS-8 MASTER KEYBOARD, AND A YAMAHA RM 1X SEQUENCER, AND WAS MIXED IN THOSE TWO MACHINES, TOTALLY ANALOG, AND RECORDED ON A STAND ALONE CD RECORDER.
JUST AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH VERY BASIC EQUIPMENT, IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU`RE DOING. :D
THIS IS A MESSAGE I RECEIVED RECENTLY ON MY MY SPACE PAGE FROM "DOT ON SHAFT GUITARS"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
HEY DiCarlo! how the heck are you?
Thank You so much for writing me!
These guitars were named after my dear Mom. She made a statement that I was paying too much attention to the Carparelli name ( my dads side ) and not enough on the Decarlo side. So I said, Mom no worries, I save the best for last and so the DeCarlo Brand of DOT ON SHAFT GUITARS came to birth.
They are simply freaking gorgeous and world class instruments.
I sometimes wonder why Di and De? someone changed that down the road...but who was first? DE or DI? don't matter, we are from the CARLO clan. That's what the Di and De mean.
Son of Carlo Clan.
Let me pass this by my Mom first...about changing the spelling LOL
I want to say thank you for spreading the word on ImusicScene. The fellows over there have been just nothing but Amazing to me. I appreciate all that has happend there so far. Rasmuth has been so cool too. And Do you know Don Waller? another spectacular fellow. Very supportive of us.
My wife is the Wurst Fan....and I'm really contemplating about going to the German Musik Messe show! I'm very close to making a decision. Depends on some of my manufacturers decisions.
What brought you to Berlin? I hear it's amazing there!
Thanks for writing my friend, very cool of you to write me. Keep in touch man, I love your tunes especially that All Systems down
cool and Peace to you too

BECAUSE I KNOW YOU ALL LIKE THE OLD SKOOL ROCK AND BLUES STUFF, I DUG UP ANOTHER ONE OF MY ROCK TRACKS FROM 1990. :D
THIS SONG IS A BIT IN THE BRYAN ADAMS STYLE, MIXED WITH T-REX, AND HAS A KIND OF 50`S STYLE, ALMOST COUNTRY STYLE BRIDGE. :D
A SONG ABOUT BREAKING UP.
YOU KNOW, WHERE YOU SCREWED UP, AND THE RELATIONSHIP IS FALLING APART, AND YOU`RE TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO KEEP IT TOGETHER, BECAUSE YOU REALISE THAT YOU REALLY LOVE THIS ONE. :D
WE`VE ALL BEEN THERE. :D

RECORDED ANALOG ON AN OTARI 8 TRACK IN 1990 AT THE SAME STUDIO I RECORDED THE SONG BEFORE THIS ONE "YOU DID IT TO ME".
NOTE; THIS IS ANOTHER ONE THAT WAS COPIED FROM A CASSETTE OF THE MASTER TAPE TO MINI DISC, AND THEN TO CD, AND WORKED ON IN THE COMPUTER TO BETTER THE SOUND A BIT. I HOPE TO GET ALL THESE ANALOG MASTER TAPES COPIED DIRECT TO CD ONE OF THESE DAYS, AND THEN WORK ON THEM AGAIN.
NOT THAT I COULD SELL THESE SONGS, BECAUSE THIS STYLE IS VERY DATED,AND WOULD HAVE TO BE TOTALLY RE-ARRANGED AND MAYBE PUT OUT BY A YOUNG ROCK BAND.
STILL A GOOD SONG, AND COULD BE A HIT. :D
PEACE,
D

NOTE; THIS WAS COPIED FROM A CASSETTE OF THE ORIGINAL, TO MINI DISC, AND THEN TO CD, PUT IN THE COMPUTER AND MASTERED, SO IT`S NOT AT THE LEVEL OF MY NORMAL TRACKS.
HOWEVER, THIS WAS RECORDED PART FOR PART IN A SMALL STUDIO ON AN OTARI TAPE MACHINE, WITH NO COMPUTER IN SIGHT.
IT ALSO FEATURES ONE OF MY BEST GUITAR SOLOS.
THIS WAS RECORDED IN 1990. :D
PEACE,

"THE UNIVERSAL CHURCH" IS MY MODERN GOSPEL CD PROJECT.
AS IT IS THE CHRISTMAS SEASON, I THOUGHT, WHAT BETTER TIME TO UPLOAD MY MODERN GOSPEL SONGS. :D
I PUT THEM ALL UNDER THE "HOLIDAY" GENRE FOR THE MOMENT.
SO FAR I`VE COMPLETED 4 SONGS FOR THE CD. ALL SONGS ARE IN DIFFERENT GENRES.
3 OF THE SONGS WERE PUT TOGETHER TO GIVE YOU THE IMPRESSION OF BEING AT A LIVE PERFORMANCE IN A CHURCH.
I CREATED THE WHOLE ATMOSPHERE BY USING DIFFERENT VOCAL SAMPLES, AUDIENCE SAMPLES, ETC., AND BY PLAYING MOST OF THE INSTRUMENTS LIVE, WITHOUT QUANTIZING THEM TO GIVE THE FEELING OF A REAL BAND. :D
I´M HOPING TO COMPLETE THE CD AND RELEASE IT IN 2008.
1. "A LOVE DIVINE" IS GOSPEL/LATIN. THERE WILL BE ANOTHER CHOIR ADDED, SINGING MY LYRICS "A LOVE DIVINE".
2. "PRAISE" IS GOSPEL/FUNK, A BIT IN THE DIRECTION OF PRINCE MEETS GOSPEL.
3. "IN THE NAME OF" IS GOSPEL/FUNK/ALTERNATIVE ROCK, KIND OF A JAMES BROWN GROOVE MIXED WITH ALTERNATIVE ROCK AND A GOSPEL CHOIR. A BIT LIKE "SEX MACHINE", BUT DIFFERENT!!!!!! :D
4. "DON´T STOP" HAS BEEN UP ON MY PAGE FOR A WHILE, AND IS IN THE GOSPEL/ELECTRONIC GENRE.

I picked up a little about him along the way, he seems to live life through two cities; Berlin and New York and they happen to be two of the most musical cities on the planet so that should tell you something. He is a drummer by preference but obviously it goes a lot, lot further than that and the overidding impression of you get of this artist is that he has paid the dues, taken the lumps and improved beyond measure in both technical and emotional appeal. <br /><br /> In other words, a thorough going professional. <br /><br /> There shouldn't be, therefore, anything much to say about the technical aspects of Love Is The Key. To my ears, even before I hear note one, it should be perfect in every detail - and indeed it is. Leaving whether you like the style or content about the only thing left to talk about. Seriously, Love Is The Key is exactly what I would have expected from someone of DICARLO's experience; a clean clear mix with enough vocal headroom to give the voices the room they need to breathe and yeah amen, emote. Having worked in a Brooklyn NYC recording studio during the early 1980's I was exposed to a lot of material like Love Is The Key, all of it brilliantly written and realised. The sort of track you KNOW would work in radio and probably everywhere else too. Where are they now? Nowhere, most of that material never even seen the light of day, and that includes some great unreleased Bobby McFerrin stuff. <br /><br /> Aaah, but the internet is a very different place and I can see a masive audience for this wonderful song, sung with consummate ease by Ingrid Arthur a voice I would like to hear a great deal more of. Veering between fairly commercial R&B and adapting an almost spiritual/gospel feel as a second taste, it's also a track that has plenty of mileage in it. If I had to FIND a gripe (a small one admittedly) it would have to be the slight overuse of the echo on bits of the vocal. In all other respects, Love Is The Key is a terrific track that should rightly be making its way out there in the real world music business because - face it - that's where it belongs. In the meantime, though, us lucky so and so's get to have it all to ourselves. It's a very middle of the road stle though but don't let that put you off, this is craftsmanship of a high order. <br /><br /> Highly Recommended Soul Siren. </td><td class="color" style="vertical-align: top; font-size: 8pt; width: 5%"> </td> </tr> </tbody></table>
