Thank you very much for listening TV! As I've mentioned elsewhere in the comments, I didn't have anything in mind relating to vehicles when creating this song, in fact I could count on one hand the number of times I have actually driven a car. It's more along the lines of someone making a conscious choice to move aside, and allow someone to speed down the highway of life... an idea/action which seems to be becoming part of the past. The "trying to avoid a traffic jam" sample at the end was recorded from a real person in real life, so that makes it comforting to realize that is not a non-existent idea yet. Very happy to hear from you on this track, and to read your words!

Hey Dan, thank you for listening again! I do have a soft spot for intensity of almost any kind... And "advanced" is a nice compliment! I would be disappointed in myself if my music wasn't somewhat advanced after this long. I actually find the composition pretty simple usually, but the supporting technology is advanced, which helps. I can only claim a little bit of credit for that part. It's always good to hear from you! Here's hoping you've uploaded something new!

Cool that it brought you back to the nineties! I actually did not know what jungle was in the nineties.... I was completely out of touch with media of any kind. Spent stoned days listening to bootleg concerts, jazz records, and folk music tapes mostly. No TV, no computer, not even a radio... or a bed for that matter, ha ha. Things are so different now. Thank you very much for listening and leaving your words!

Yo PMK, how's it been going? Great to see you visiting looperman every now and then! Glad that you enjoyed the listen! Songwriting wise, it's not my most special of late, but this one is always fun to hear. Thank you for leaving a comment!

Hey there madscape, thank you for listening and leaving a nice comment! I do appreciate cleverness of course! I don't know about the reference to "drones," as I don't remember inserting anything like that... I could be wrong. I totally dig the *idea* of Frank Zappa, though I have little experience actually listening to his work... just a bit of time spent on "Mothers Of Invention." Thank you for noticing the time put into this... when I think about the real time put into my recent works, it's a bit overwhelming. For example if you consider what went into modifying the HotKeyz which was the driving force in composing the track - I had that toy on the chopping block for almost ten years! I totally appreciate your kind words!

I was thinking this would have something unauthorized to do with my track, but instead it's just self promotion. Either way it's a bit annoying.

I am pretty strange, but I only dig if it's in the dirt... heh. Thank you for listening and leaving a comment!

Hey Richie, it's always good to hear from you! No need to feel pressure to give critique, as honestly I rarely go back and change things after uploading any more. I'm happy with the reactions to this song, as hardcore electronic is not a very common listening preference, and yet most people who normally listen to my track are showing up to the party any way. I was having a hypnotic time in life in many ways, and it shows through in my work recently. That "uh oh" was from a field recording, and I should really find that kid to thank them... It adds a lot to the effect of the track. I appreciate you listening and leaving a comment my friend!

Hey Dan, thank you for taking some time to listen to this one! I'm pretty happy with it, and I'm also happy that people are enjoying the listen. It hasn't been so much of a matter of patience with my recent tracks taking so long, but more the vast amount of obstacles which crop up. I had to wash my brain out a little bit and do something totally different for the track I uploaded today, which has patching and recording take under three hours (live). I really appreciate your positive words!

Bouncing and headbanging is definitely one of the positive side effects of good hardcore, so I'm really happy to hear your words! I've tried so many times to create a believable hardcore song, without much luck until now... it seems people are reacting well to it. I take no offence to weird, as I've always been a bit out there. Thank you for listening and commenting!

Hey, thank you for listening and leaving a comment! I actually couldn't name you a kraut rock band off the top of my head, so I'm not sure on that point. As far as 6am and coffee goes, I am totally right with you there. It's difficult to enjoy that part of the morning without a little coffee... get the cat some breakfast, then make some coffee. heh. I appreciate it!

Hello again! I'm happy that you looked up the tyco hotkeyz. It's one of my favorite bent toys at the moment. Had it in progress for about a decade, and finally got everything mounted up recently. It isn't technically a proper instrument, which is common with circuit bent instruments... they are usually less traditional after you are done with them. The patterns are definitely the focus of the keytar, but it can be played in "key" mode where the two sets of keys are a scale in the transposition that you specify. There is a upper and lower set of keys (guitar/bass). The best part though is the "wah" filter, by far. Regarding cymbals, I have used them a bunch in music before, but really I'm bored with it... not to mention they usually fill up the high ranges which I like for other more interactive musical parts. I see what you mean about dropping back to the high hats after a cymbal driven section though. I always have so much fun designing my hat hats lately, that I don't really feel the need to add cymbals. The whole discussion makes me wonder if my difficulty getting into your drum parts comes down to mainly the cymbals, and that I just hadn't figured that out. Who knows? I'll make sure not to watch teletubbies, just in case they time travelled forward and recorded the same moment that I did... Don't need to know that! I appreciate the return comment!

Hey there, thank you for the listen and comment! As long as you weren't dancing in your sleep too much, I think the effects are okay. I limited the loops that I sampled from the hotkeyz for this, as I don't want to use up it's musical value right away, so that is part of the repetitive nature of the track. I wouldn't have thought of the title without the voice sample in the outro, it just seemed to work though. I appreciate your words!

Well, I was a teenager in the 90's so that makes perfect sense, but than considering the subject matter, I must assume that you mean the late 90's... I was not of this world in the late 90's so I can't say it was a big influence. I didn't really know what hardcore was until the new millenium... was mostly listening to old jazz and folk in the late 90's. Either way, I take it as a compliment that it sounds "vintage" to you. Thank you for leaving a comment!

Hey Wayne, thanks for stopping by! I'd love to be able to label this song "Non GMO" , but with some of these vocal clips, I can't do that with a clear conscience. Really, the vocals clips are not very heavily effected, which is a bit scary. There are some very disturbing individuals around this town I call home. I've been trying to make a decent hardcore song for a long long time, and I think this is about the best yet... I'm going by the observation that this is #2 for plays and #1 for comments within the genre here on looperman today. You're quite right, low fidelity and low quality are not the same thing. It's good that it doesn't sound like the every day looperman track offering to you. I really have never enjoyed Gary Numan, and have no real opinion of Devo (I like Mothersbaugh though). From what you said, it sounds to me like I impregnated them, then they bred a child which was this song... creepy image. Thank you for listening and leaving your words!

Hey, thanks for stopping by to listen! Honestly, I have always thought of hardcore as a precursor to jungle whick was kind of a precursor to modern DnB. I honestly don't know what a DnB mix of this would entail. I don't really do remixes of my songs lately, so don't hold your breath. I appreciate you listening and leaving a comment!

Hey Steve, thank you for the kind in inspirational comment! You have made me curious to experience JG Ballard books, though my book reading back log is a far more serious situation than my songs or my electronic projects... haven't even finished my father's book yet! It's interesting to me that many people are hearing vehicular traffic in this song. There was absolutely no conscious effort in this direction when working on the song, and in fact the title was the last thing to appear, as was I believe the sample in the outro referring to a traffic jam. It's more about the two sides of the idea; people getting in eachothers' way; and people stepping aside to allow for advancement and progress. I'm sure you understand what I mean. Thank you for that song link as well, I think I may have heard this a while back. Cool stuff. I don't think I'm bored of technology, but I am sick to the heart at what people do with it. People no longer need to think or lift a finger, people don't need to learn. If their phone can't do something for them, it doesn't get done. That's how it seems around here now. I can see the appeal of a car crash, but I'd rather cause one than be in one... ha ha. Thanks for reminding me of this performance... Love Peter Murphy, and of course Reznor! Talk to you soon!

Hey thanks much! I appreciate you taking a listen!

Hey Omar, thank you for this comment and for being patient in my replies both here and away. That keytar (or guitboard if you are flight of the conchords inclined) thing is pretty fun for sure. You mention the trademark sound, and while I can pick it out, I think you are probably right. For me intensity is one of the most important qualities music can have, so I take that as a compliment! I rarely watch action movies any more, unless they are crossover from things like horror or comedy, but I can hear what you mean. 11 months is quite a while to keep something on my plate, but it seems to be more and more common for me. Just like when I'm designing and building electronics, I feel comfortable when I have a huge back log of things to work on. For example, on my last album, I started about 120 songs to settle on the 19 or whatever ended up on the album. Thanks for your positive support here, I appreciate it! I'll try to reply to you in email soon as well.

Thanks for that... It should sound really dirty with what went into it. That can't be bad can it?

Us happy robots thank you Danke! I'm glad that your feet had the urge to move here. It's hard to make hardcore music which dislikers of hardcore can enjoy, so that is a compliment. When I was younger I thought of vintage as things made before I was born, and it's funny, now thing which seem like just yesterday are considered vintage... weird... vintage cell phones? huh?! Well, thank you for listening and leaving a positive comment! Have a good day!

Hey there, thank you for leaving a comment here on LM! It's interesting that you're not the only one who mentioned the traffic jam representation... I totally have no reference point of a traffic jam from the view of a driver, and it wasn't really what I was going for. As I see, this is okay, as more people will probably appreciate it if it will work as a driving type song. I'm really enjoying all the gear I have to work with right now, more instruments than time it seems. I am mad, and I do like science, so I can take what you say as a compliment. Very pleased to read your words! Have a great day!

Hi Orlando, your comment is a bright moment in my day! Honestly, I have never once been a driver in a traffic jam situation, and I never though about automobiles at all when composing this one. Seems like this track turned out to be very open to interpretation, and I'm happy with that. I tried not to over-do the complexity on this, as I find it ruins the present tense sometimes. Thank you for listening and faving this track!

Hey, thanks friend! I actually find this song very humorous as well. I think the momentum keeps up throughout, which is nice. Thank you for stopping in to listen and comment!

You are right about the headphone aspect, as this was mostly composed and mixed through headphones. "I bet it would be much fun to walk to streets full with cars and people and all are bussy and have this one on the mp3 player ...... " You have just described much of my weekend habits during the time I have been making this track... songs like you describe are definitely some of my favorites. Can't go wrong with a little brain burn! Thank you for that! Your words are quite pleasing to read, as usual... I appreciate it!

Hey SN, This may be the best and most positive comment I have received from you EVER. Squelchy synth noise is definitely not my forte, so I'm happy that I passed that test. The main riff is all courtesy the Tyco HotKeyz that I modified over almost a decade. It has some freaking amazing riffs and a great sounding filter, so with some expansion it has much range. It is a very rock/funk oriented item though, so is a bit far from my comfort zone. I think that's where the weirdness comes in. This is definitely one of my least drum oriented songs ever... there are only a few patterns in total used in different combos. I have grown to love minimal drums in every way, though at this moment I can't say what instruments the drums are from. To be honest, since Spivkurl began, ride and crash cymbals have been iconic as the anti-crust if that makes sense. Some of my songs have them, but they are an embarrassment. It sounds like pop-rocks to me, uh ohhh. You are right that we differ a lot... I would never try to sound like a live drummer unless I was being one. My whole life has been psychedelia, whether I chose it or not, so I might as well groove to it. The lo fi and dirty mostly comes from the source, and as I see that's how it should be, so I appreciate that you enjoyed the mix. Tried not to deflate the reality. The "uh oh" is not from teletubbies, in fact I have never seen the show. It is in fact from real children in the past week... horribly over medicated brain damaged children that are our future, if there is one at all. Either way, this is one of the most satisfying comments I've received from you, and I've bben looking forward to replying! Thank you for that!

Ha ha, honestly I have little to no experience with automobile related traffic jams; on the contrary I am a professional pedestrian, so traffic jams are not so easy to pin down. The sample at the end refers to this sort of traffic jam... where you get out of someone's way or let them go, and they treat you like a retard... Really there is only a couple seconds of anger in the whole track. Have many more songs in the works, but lots of other things in the works too, so it may be a while like this one. Thank you very much for visiting this song in it's various homes!

Hey Alex, I appreciate you being the first one to listen and comment (again!). Happy you found it to be a synth jam, as really the "jam" in the title only referenced the ending, vocals sample and overall feeling. Just thought adding the lyric would be humorous. I started working on this one September of last year, and worked it on and off throughout the winter... then switching over to FL studio 12, I started working it again. The power really comes from some of the devices used for some of the audio, namely the tyco hotkeyz... It is a very analog sounding thing, partly due to the filter section (or "wah" as it is noted on the toy). It's been heavily modified with gain/resonance/range type additions. Never been great at the hardcore style, but I think this one works pretty good. It's the first song based on this toy. Thank you again for your comment.
