Thank you for this very late and unexpected comment. I'm all dried up the last couple of years when it comes to creativity but I haven't given up. On reverbnation I'm known as jack back band..... I've been there years but came here under a different name to avoid people from a really heavy political fgorum following me around. Same tunes here >>>> https://www.reverbnation.com/jackbackband

Really good stuff and sounds, do you synthesize them youself? I feel like the kick and clap could hit harder but that's just my opinion. Also one synth reminds me of pink floyd.. so cool, that wavy synth panned left.

I dig this Silve, a really nice throw back tune. Takes me back to the 80's and new wave bands like Human League, Ultravox, Kraftwerk, Spandau Ballet, Depeche Mode, Thompson Twins, A-Ha, Tears for Fears, Eurythmics, Flock of Seagulls etc.. That was a great time period and such an explosion of synthesizer based music. Really paved the way to the new era of elecronica.

Of course "Time" is the nucleus here and the clock sound merged with the beat is very ingenious and cool. Some really slick progressions and transitions throughout and I love the sound effects! The ending is also nicely done...very sci-fi. Love it man !

Thank you so much for your kind words Neo.
One of my longest projects to put together.
It was actually hard work but fun.

Hya Bleep.
Glad you like it.
I loved making this.
It was aimed at the sit full of smoke spaced out crew from which I evolved many years ago.
Could spark up and sit and listen to the tunes and want for nothing more.
Few seem to do that these days.
Thanks for dropping in.

Thanks Beatz.
A lot of production work in this.
57 tracks in all with so many loops spliced into and onto other loops.
Took me weeks.
I still enjoy this myself.
Eyes closed half a bottle of Irish in me and I'm back splicing and dicing this thing.
Yeah still pleased with myself with this one.

There is some great depth in this tune. I feel and hear Depeche Mode, New Order, OMD , in this approach to a tune. I love the percussion and the merging of disco and technology and the constant reminder of a clock. Arpeggios are spot on. This has more in common with Tresor techno than Detroit techno but is it's own unique animal in it's own right.
5:52 brings on a new sense of urgency that's enjoyable to listen too. C minor is a nice key to compose in.
great work and nice sub bass drop at the end.

Hey Mate

Thinking this is the first track I have reviewed for you, well since my return, can not remember reviewing any of yours before...Great clarity of the mix, very good indeed, great use of the clock in this piece, first time I think heard clock worked into a track, but it works a treat, very impressed with what I am hearing, nice build into the piece, excellent choice of synths, this track sort of has a industrial vibe about it, liking the arrangement, considering the length of the piece, it stays very interesting for the listener...impressive work matey....love it...FAV...Peace n Respect...Mosaic...

Actually I see youve done the breakdown with new synths, but your breakdown melody is very off for me. And the really bright sounding bells make this song sound like the background music for advertisements. I don't know, this song for me needs a lot of tweaking.

Thanks for your comments CG.
Sounds like advertizing would be fine by me if an advertiser offered me some dosh to use it.
I'm i the U.K and we have a BBC 24 news programme.
If you can get a listen to the theme tune for it ... it's the usual stabbing beat that news progs like and some swirly synths and it's amazingly simple.
Someone got paid good money for that.
I'd be made up to sell a piece to someone like that.
I have a long way to go yet though lots more practice needed.
Thanks for the comments though I'll take them on board.

cg5music 27th May 2015 02:03 - 11 years ago
The drum kicks sound off at the end of four measures. I hope you noticed that. Put some reverb on some of the synths, and don't use that arpeggiator synth all the time. It's used too much. You should have the beat stop out of nowhere and break back down again with a whole new selection of awesome synths. I think you also need a longer and more entertaining intro. The beat is also too quiet.
Tweak all of this, and you'll have a complete great track.

This would be a great soundtrack for the Fritz Lang film "Metropolois" (1927). Enjoyable track most definitely. Congrads!

You have me mightily intrigued now ......

silverman replied 26th May 2015 - 11 years ago
Thanks.
The clock idea came from a car boot sale where I picked a nice old clock up and held it to my ear whilst my wife chatted with the stall holder.
All I could think was this sounds great.
Arrived home and hunted down a clock sample.

Time: Some have very little left, some have way to much, what is
done with it only matters, to a few because they think they control
it, like they think they can control you...And anyone that is looking
for more of what, most don't know they've only seen someone with
it and now they want it....But in time we all come to the conclusion
that all the stuff we have accumulated in our space of time, will only
be left behind ones we get to our end of time...Because time is way
more than us all in it's infinite eternity...

Solid Project...Man.

Peace...TG.

You can't take it with you when you go.
Funny thing about growing older is a point comes where the future is shorter than the past.
My past now seems to stretch off to a distant horizon while my future to a much closer one.
The time to come is much less than the time already had.
Young people see forever in front of them old people see forever has gone.
My concept of time has become very different.
I'm also very comfortable with the fact I have about fifteen years left tops.

silverman replied 22nd May 2015 - 11 years ago
I hadn't planned to but chuck some in there if you want it would be interesting.
I just mess about as a hobby.
I'm in my sixties so this isn't really my kind of music as such but I love music I love sound noise and silence and I heard my kids listening to this kind of stuff so thought I'd give it a go.
I'm quite pleased with the results.
Do have a go if you have any words.

Silverman, you prove that you can teach an old dog new tricks. I am impressed with the way this one held my attention all the way through, great transitions. Probably one of the most impressive things is the clarity of the mix.

This was a lot of fun! Keep doing what you are doing, it is working. I hope all is well.

The use of the clock does a good job at providing a sense of "urgency" throughout the song. Makes you wanna move...
(along with the rest of the great music! Lol!) nice work!

It was an attempt at doing a blast from the ...recent... past to me having heard my kids listening to this kind of stuff ... thought I'd give it a go.
Just been listening to an exhausting tune where I think the kid with the fat head got scrunched ... got me all fired up for 160 bpm next .......

I realy enjoyed that.

I love the tempo of your track and this nice little melodies.

I never listened to much Techno until I signed in with Looperman..and I have to admit I have been really getting to like some of it...so I`m blaming that on you (and a couple of others) silverman..haha....very cool track that I`m enjoying a whole lot...I sure couldn`t offer any useful advice on the genre & you obviously dont need any...really well done....Ed

Although I'm not too much into techno genre myself, I have to admit this is some incredibly cool stuff with lot's of variety
for that length of a track. Very creative...and the most important...yes, there is a clock in it!:)

Big compliments for this one_____Orlando

Thankyou everyone else too.

Taken me ages to figure out how to take this thing down so it doesn't pop back to the top everytime I comment on someone elses stuff but I think I've managed now.
I enjoyed doing this track but have heard enough of it already!

Cool an another time concept tune. Yours is pretty original.

I pretty like your fx

my favorite part is 3:57 min to 4:25 min
And the strings fx too good

This tune is also pretty long but with low repetition so wel done the 7:38min passed like 1 min for me maybe you just made a time machine who know ?!?

Well done

I know there's a clock in it. I can hear it from 0:00. Also as I am getting old time seems to slow down gradually. Maybe it's because I practise awareness.

There's no time in the very present.

Description : My third rap song. Still not entirely sure how I got here, but I'm having fun with it. This time, I brought along my alter ego, Cool Grandpa. He's got more swagger than I do and helps bring a little street cred (although not much) to the operation.

I did update the vocal mix based on feedback and I think that was a good call by gixxie. Vox is stronger now.
