Okay. Who can guess it THIS time? This one isn't so easy...

Roemello? I know you know this one.. Try to hold off a bit unless nobody gets it. Okay? http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif

You're right it isn't easy. My husband thinks it's something by Falco? I think it could be by Donna Summer? I'm hearing disco in there, I 'm probably wrong http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/confused.gif

Well, you're hearing what CAME from disco - Freestyle.. It's not Falco. Not Donna Summer. It's not easy like the others. This should be the first one you don't get! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/tongue.gif

ick...disco...despite freestyle coming from it, I like to stay in denial and think otherwise http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif I do like the jam though http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/biggrin.gif My lips are sealed...for now...

hehe Well yes. Freestyle is a derivative of Disco - but not exactly Disco. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif I have a few good Freestyle hits to throw up there. But Queensryche is next. I know that was next in the lineup but when I went to do the change I couldn't find the file.. But I've found it... http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/wink.gif

You got me on a freestyle kick now Sal http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/tongue.gif I just re-touched and edited a pretty nifty midi for my homepage and popped it on today http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif

Point of No Return by Expose! Awesome! Wanna trade some midi's? I don't have that one! It sounds GOOD too! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif I don't have many freestyle MIDI's. I just recently started my collection.

There aren't too many of 'em floating around. If I ever get ambitious, maybe I'll start sequencing again....haven't touched the old keyboard in quite some time....haven't had the time! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/frown.gif

Anyway, yeah! I'll share http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif I've been looking for some new ones myself as well. Also, if there's any you have that sound a little crappy and could use a tune-up, I can edit them.

I never went in there either until Sal mentioned me in the initial post http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif Freestyle is basically dance music...not sure how else to describe it. It's definitely a unique kind of sound http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif

Freestyle is a mix of Disco and Latin music. Usually a fast paced kind of music. A good site which explains the definition of Freestyle is below:

Roemello, I know I didn't give you that MIDI list. Sorry about that. Time has been going backwards for me. I'm not finishing any of my projects lately...

OK-I'm new to this. How do we hear the MIDI??

It's the music that's on the front page before you enter the forum http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif Sal said no one would be able to figure out what it was. I think Sal and Roemello are the only two that know what it is. I've heard it before but I can't come up with anything, it's a tough one http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif

Okay, I'll let Roemello tell you all. Since I put it up, it wouldn't be right for me to say it when I know someone else knows.. The suspense will end shortly!

Otherwise, Blaziegirl, the next one is for you. So don't answer it! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/tongue.gif I will try to add it on tonight..

I knew you would, Blaziegirl! Although I don't think the MIDI sounds all that great. But good enough. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif

And Roemello got it, of course. It's a great song! One of my all time favorites. Fantasy Girl (by Johnny O), You'll Never Find Another Love (by & More), and In My Eyes (by Stevie B) were the songs that crossed me over from heavy metal. They all had great beats and were on the radio all the time. From there, I found so many others that I really liked...
