Title: Mexi Nuggets
Post by: Rata-tat-tat on April 06, 2009, 04:59:53 PM
Damn... Why did they stop selling those things at Taco Bell anyhow??? Almost a tater tot... but not quite. Pissed me off so bad I had to make a production... maybe not fitting... fun nonetheless. LOL

This is my way of saying they should bring back the Mexi Nugget. Almost a song... but not quite.  Hope you enjoy.

BTW  More of my cleaning up on unfinished projects

All I can say is: what a fine way to say you want TB to bring back the mexi nugget!~ I didn't know they quit selling those~ Hey brother, Taco John's has those~ I can't remember what they're called, but they come with every meal...Tator Tots w/ spicy seasoning...Man, it bother's me~ I can't remember what they're called!!

Can't say I've ever heard of Taco John's... been out of the lower 48 for a while. I sure do miss those tasty little Tot's though... LOL.  ;D ;D ;D

Damn... inspired by a seasoned spicy tater... maybe I should try to record some sounds that potatoes make. Thud... Thunk... Sizzle... Snap. Better yet maybe I should try to find a singing potatoe. Yes... Yes... A singing potatoe in a vat of hot grease... Sorry guys just thinking out loud here... I will stop now, I'm getting hungry. :P

This is fantastic. I love the latin vibe and flavour (lol). How did you put this together? Is has a lot going on, but it's really nicely produced. Great work! Have been in a Taco Bell a few times in the states, but they haven't reached the UK... yet  :D

 :D This was absolutely brilliant!!!  Yup I agree you could start a food album.  Maybe include Cheeseburger in Paradise and the Macarena noodles. LOL  I can just envision the spicy tots with sunglasses jumping up and clicking their castanets. LOL  Great job!!

Wish I had something to dazzle you with. These were also part of my loop library. These are all prerecorded loops from either freeware sights or the Bill Laswell collection. This one actually took me a while to put together. There's a lot going on here. I mainly like to work with percussion so my changes in melody really need some help. I will get back to recording with acoustics soon enough. Just thought I would post some of this stuff to see what you guys thought and mainly to finish these loop projects. My library of unfinished stuff is starting to pile up. Thanks for all of the great comments...

I posted a link on another thread for the software I used to compose... I'll put it here too. I actually used Acid Studio 5.0 Full Version, but you can get the freeware here (Acid Express). Although I am very fond of Audacity, I found this software a little easier produce with. The explorer preview is awsome.

Great arrangement - very well put together. Laswell productions are a favorite of mine - did not know there was a collection out. A few albums I have enjoyed:

Praxis: Transmutation (Have many, but that's the best one IMHO)
Material: Hallucination Engine
Golden Palominos: This is how it feels (Lori Carson!)
And, of course, the early Buckethead stuff!

Nice post!
