This one sounds so much different then your other stuff - yet it does at the same time. Idk how much sense that makes lol, but its our best description. You should do vocals like this more often, quirky and competent. We Like.

Old track I wrote and played on acoustic guitar for decades. I was always quite pleased with the lyrics. I've played it in all sorts of styles.

Beautiful laid back reggae - has a Gregory Isac's feeling (night Nurse) I love it and I love your voice - you are just being you and not trying to sound like anyone ;)

Zootman replied 25th May 2025 - 1 year ago
Ha, thanks a lot! Yes I still have time to listen to this one from time to time so I guess that's a good sign. Not much point trying to sound like anyone else I reckon. The two of you are the same I'd say, you have your own unique style. Cheers Chris

Hello,
It is a great work you have done here. So nice rhythmic song, with no imperfections in its production. You get all the credits and you deserve it
Best wishes, Anthony

Thanks Anthony, I was pretty happy with the production on this one at least. A few random elements and fx artefacts but I like those sometimes....Cheers Zoot.

I liked it before and I still do - the mix is very vice and the guitar sound esp. very cool - of course Im wondering if we ( you, me, the LM taste bubble) would mix it differently today but to be sure Ive tried remixing some of my own track and usually Im happier with the first one

Zootman replied 23rd Sep 2024 - 2 years ago
Been a while, thought you might have met a sweet Balinese girl and decided to stay lol. I tweaked the mix a little mainly bringing the wah guitar up a bit and a bit brighter. Might send you a wee something if I can get around to working on it done more. Cheers man.

Hey Zootman, love your mix. its modern upfront but with our ancestors like mad scientist, lee perry in my mind. i love your vocals theres is something you bring from our western world into this dub. lyrics are awesome. and when you do on another dub track would be gnarly if we can collab. Dub is dying, i was in a local vanilla job, looking for my drug dub, but that women told me they squashed the section, nobody is listing. keep that dub burning zootman. love from a banana

Zootman replied 22nd Sep 2024 - 2 years ago
Hi Bananarama, how are you doing? I know you're a dub man, so glad you got to hear this track. I would like to do another dub thing, I did start something recently but never got around to finishing it. Maybe I should....be cool to get your vox on something mate. Here's something you might like, not regular dub but.......kinda.

Thank you very much. I was mostly satisfied with how it turned out, feel the vocal could be better, one day.... Have a good day over there on the continent...

zootman, you handled the business with this wall to wall sound. Great mixing as well. Now for the guitar, that did it totally for me. I thoroughly enjoyed your work here.

Kia ora, thanks, nice to get some feedback again on this. Yeah I was pretty happy with the wah guitar, felt a bit self indulgent having such a long coda but couldn't bring myself to edit it down. thanks again.

No conocía el tema, un gran tema amigo zootman2u, gracias por volverlo a sacar para gente relativamente nueva como yo. Has conseguido que me sienta como si estuviera en una playa jamaicana, bailando y tomando ron sin parar. Me encanta ese ritmo tan típico pero difícil de conseguir. La mezcla muy profesional y con mucho sentimiento. Me gusta tu voz, no sé si ya te lo dije alguna vez, es muy cálida y agradable de escuchar, un lujo para los oyentes. Bien hecho amigo mío. Salud y paz para todos.

Hey Chris - I liked this a lot the first time and I like it still - not that I can remember the difference - have to check if I downloaded it the first time (ha). Great stuff - when is the tour??
pseudoble
pseudoble 29th Jun 2021 10:58 - 5 years ago
woo hoo - nice lots of interest and shifts in the tone and instruments coming in and out. I was thinking it would be better faster in the first part of the tune - you know a bit more ska like for the energy but I think it settled into a very nice groove

Yeah, nice use of brass. I Like the wet surfer reverb on the rim click. Telephone was perfect randomly in the guitar solo, also liked the dark scale use around the same time.

Nice work, fun to listen to. Well mixed. Well done.

This is such a groovy track! nice find with those trumpet loops, all of the pieces feel really intelligently blended, by the way I love how many different musical styles I've seen you experiment with on here, very impressive! keep up the chill work!

Was diggin' this from the first note! The lyrics are simple but say so much. The bass was great. The guitar was tasty as hell. Man you put me in the summer mood and just so happens we are getting summer weather this week.

Well done all round, mix, music, effects...!

damn, mate i love the track and must say that wah gtr is just exemplory. solid bass and keys as well, and the looping is really organic. dub fx spot-on. and the pissed-off riddle is the icing on a lake. far out!
Zootman
Zootman replied 23rd Mar 2021 - 5 years ago
thanks man, actually my other half just pointed out (and I kind of had it in mind already) that the vocal doesn't really fit the music - sounds a bit too pissed off! I might have a crack at redoing the vox at some stage to see how it works a bit softer.

Production is top-notch mate. Awesome dub verb as well on that rim. I am a huge Sly and Robbie fan and count them among my musical influences. The sound in this one is awesome. good work.

coming from you that's high praise re. production, thanks! yeah sly and robbie. u know one of my favorite albums and one i consider a classic is Grace Jones Nightclubbing and guess who the rhythm section was. team them up with Grace's weird aesthetic and you got gold.
