Found this on the "Rave for the Golden Age" thread, and I'm glad I did! That bass work is amazing, as are the guitars! The atmospheric samples are really cool too! This is some really creative stuff! Very psychedelic! Awesome work!

Damn this is excellent.

All of those effects,different kinds of sounds are dope.

especially the laugh of that evil animal.

Respect

-=-Haro-=-

I have no idea what just happened.?? I dont know if this is good or crazy. Nonetheless this is good.

hi my friend
nice tune you have make here
become a fan every time......

I was engulfed in a crazy scary bayou with no light. Great experience. Thanks for kick ass track.
NOICE WORK!!!

Voodoo you do ?
Fantastic piece. Hope you live 3000 years to enjoy our ears with your music!

Lol,... The animal noises are different but it fits. What is that? A rabid mutant squirrel or something? Crazy track. Sorta all over the place but it seems to work. Im a way it reminds me of Primus. Being a bass player im sure you know how Primus is or at least Les Claypool. If not check them out.
Crazy change up! Just hit the change up mark. (reveiwing as I listen) I really like the change up. Very "Jam Band" -ish. You ripping the guitar in there?

Hi Planet

Nice track, down at chill out but with the true hint of rock, kookabarra(spelling?) doing the vocals :)very enjoyable listening man, track seems to take you on a journey, for me being an Aussie, takes me too a place like the bungle bungles etc, great work mate...fav'd...Peace...Estefano...

It sounds really crazy and i like it! :D
good stuff!
peace

whoever mentioned ozric tentacles, hells yeah.

gotta love the meandering but steady bass lines throughout the piece. it's like zappa and miles davis got together in the amazon.

bass lays a nice foundation for the rest of the song and totally locked in with the drums.

Absolutely fantastic stuff, reminds me of Ozric Tentacles, with all it's fusion of Reggae, Psychadelia and Electronica. Excellent playing, excellent production, excellent track.

Dear Planet, Just to let you know that I play this track on my ipod more than any other by any other artist. I looked at my play count and it is top. It is the business in my opinion! Rgds C69

Nice man, this whole track was great. Love where the thunderstorm comes in.

Hi Planet, I had heard that your stuff was cool and needed checking out. Well here I am and yes I love your stuff. Just my thing. Down loaded this track for my Ipod. Rockin'

man, u and i(hint Miles)must collab eventually..I'm looking at your profile and i'm seeing alot of similar influences, especially the jazz stuff guy...a new fave for me for sure, if Miles could come back(not that he's ever left the building for me!) he would love this man...an amazing recording!!
ps i went to Berklee with Victor Bailey, Baron Browne, Stu Hamm, Steve Vai, Kevin Eubanks and a host of others..
thanks for sharing your art with me..

victormusic01x..in the nyC..voodoo chillin'...

Went fishing for loa and pulled up Damballa himself! Yeah man, ride that long snake! I love how you've fused the beginning with an ambient sensibility and then gave it all up to electrical spirit fire as expressed by the guitar. Faved.

Who do the voodoo? I guess you did with this wickedly good song. Twisted.

As someone else stated, this is more an experience than a song - and that is all good...haha since I think of music in a visual sense, images... this is a full jungle oddessey, Very cool structure to this madness, and gets even more magical once the guitar starts singin'. I can't decide if this would be great for a very trippy animated jungle trip or an awesome acid trip montage during the Vietnam war...haha -hmmm both good. This track is layered with goodness- Very cool Planet... very cool. peace.

Very good stuff, My cousin introduced me 2 after many spliffs Miles Davis Whether Report Chic Korea Jacob Pastorius and all that jazz, your music is amazing peace2009jazzfestivals

yeah i can dig dat mane dats tyte work homie.

It almost sounds like you were clandestinely approaching a weird space voodoo ritual in the deepest brushes of an unmapped jungle. Then around 2:40ish, you unsheathed your guitar and showed the space voodoo natives a different voodoo ritual.

I mean this in no bad way when I say this doesn't hit me so much a song as it is an experience with sounds. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers.

ps. you uploaded this on my birthday...weird.

Chill out, on like 20 micro dots

You should rename this "I Got a Black Magic Kooka" (lol).....pity so many people hadn't heard ne before....mind you they are not the best things to listen to at 5am if you have had a big night out!.....great bass and guitar sounds.....fusion art!

Cheers,
Trax

This piece is wack! Crazy blend of sounds that don't go together, yet somehow you managed. I wouldn't classify it as chill out though...wierd? fusion-ish?
Nice work!

pretty wild man...
i think the monkeys had some voodoo
lol man this had all the voodoo that you doo
my head still hasn't come back to reality yet
actually i seem to have misplaced that reality thing around here some where

Oh yes and I forgot, this is to HOT to be chill out, this is pure fusion madness, rock to the ultimate, future jazz a la Miles Davis.

This F!*?!! madness, like Robert Fripp meets Frank Zappa on the planet Gork and just go insane, man your from that planet and I want to visit often. Great track.

damn, it is a freaking sweet track, Let's do some collabs!!

Bloody Jazztastic!!!! This floats my boat on all levels. 1. It's totally original 2. The mix and production is awesome 3. The playing is breath taking 4. Your a genius 5. all of those points again and again.... Man! I wish we lived closer! Just imagine the band we could have....

Cheers Slap...

Hey, I haven't listened to your music in a while, so I decided to go on your page and listen to it XD

The vocal effects were very out of the norm, (in a good way)

This is an excellent voodoo type of feel imo

Has a trippy feel to it as well

Im liking this alot

Favorited :-)
x-_Bri_-x

I thought that the several captain and cokes were enough and the twice backed potato was good enough and the fillet Mignon was the ticket! but no ! I have to be meat inebriated and have a listen to a track like this "OH MY GOD!" you SIR have taken me to a higher plane and I thank you for that this will be a fav sir and I will not have a recollection that i have done so but that is fine sooner or later i will figure it out! "You do the voodoo"
Johnny G.

Another interesting number all the elements fit nicely the break at 2:13 caught me by surprise (Peaceful) butwoke me up at 2:35 nice guitar. Loved the bass and drums in this one also Ain't found no Voodoo but I'll keep looking!!
Fila

Trippy, you took that idea for the intro form my track deceptions didnt you? Give it a different feeling for a bit, but then turn it into this awesome psychedelic work. I love the sampling, must have taken forever!

Great track!

-DaMann

Hi Planet
well this track certainly keeps you zoned in to it there is so much going on.
Listening to it has gave me some ideas and i luv it when tracks do that for me.
Excellent track Planet.
Regards
Krook

wow, sweet track my friend, did you find the voodoo, the jam is great! never really heard anything like this and i think thats what makes this site great! Mag-Nito

Great track, a bit way out there. Its got a bit of a "Talking Heads" feel to it and i love the chipmunk laugh!!

ah, on second listen thats a bird call not laughter hey? the feelings of lunacy i was gettin off this one have been replaced with a deeper sense of some deep jungle voodoo.

you definitely found and worked that voodoo planet, and you worked it right.
always a big fan of your bass licks, never fail to impress. and that cackling laughter was a very nice touch, added some very effective lunacy to the track, just the right amout.
ah... and some very emotional fretwork dropped on me after that eerie refrain. im definitely downloading this.

bravo,
TJ

that was the coolest intro to knock me off my chair in many a moon! quintacential planet for sure! I'm a monkey!
neil

This is like an instant classic. Loved every minute of it! You are quite an experienced guy eh?
Great work! How long would you say it took to make this?

HOW DO YOU DO THAT VOODOO THAT YOU DO SO WELL?

I really dig this track, Very chilled, but kinda earie too, The bass is cool and those drums are bangin'

I really enjoyed listening to this.

Helix

Not put in Chillout. This is new genre = Freakout. The voodooman lurks large in yr track. excellent composition and use of fretless base. great.

Oh, thaaat voodoo. I borrowed it (my friends needed to be punished). I'll return it soon though, don't you worry...

Anyway that was wicked, love that kooka that you added. You know one morning I actually saw about 5 or 6 kookas squashed together in our neighbour's TV antenna, all laughing at once. They created such a racket, but I can understand why those buggers where laughing.

But we're getting out of topic. The guits here were awesome, they sound almost wailing, chanting. As Acrylic said: Intense. This is really good Dave!

About Voodoo, but I do know where you can find some Doo-doo. On UltraBase's collab with DolaWhite on UB's track, Ultra Doo Doo mix. Sorry, that was cheesy and crappy (pun optional), but it is a pretty cool & amusing track ya might dig.

As for this one, I'm surprized that ya didn't use any out-there vocal samples that you do so well and cool. I dunno why that occured to me, probably because the lead Guitar licks on this are in some ways like one of your other, older tracks on here (Tenn Hut I'm thinkin, but not 100 percent on that... Or was it the one where ya used a sample of Marlon Brando's, hmm, I dunno).

Starting over, the drum intro to this is totally Gonzo man. Flippin crazy and I loved it. Ok, I stand infected, err, I mean corrected, ya did use those Monkey (?) calls on this. Which takes me to tha jungle. Oooh, and I gotta massively thank you now, because I just remembered a movie I saw on VHS that I needta get on DVD (or just try to sample directly from the tape) this perfect tribal sample, yes! The stormy effects ya added also really add to the illusion of being in a jungle, during monsoon season. Lates!

teach me the secret bros!

Hi Planet,

Hey, cool song here. I was thinking maybe this was something like my 'Voodoo Swamp Blues' tune I did last year...but this is totally different. I like the growling bass sound.

The lead guitar afterwards is really nice sounding. This is a very nice song..I like it a lot. Good use of imagination here.

Do you play guitar too?

Randy

Crazy, very trippy, very nice, i like it... kind of ambient, kind of intense... Very cool indeed.
