Adrift - Zootman

Description : To me this sounds like a late night jam when everyone in the band but the drummer is half toasted and things could fall apart any second. Funnily enough that's pretty much what it is only I'm the band. One take on guitars vocals and bass, minimal edits. Could be a complete mess could be not. Either way happy if you let me know.

Wow - you put the ingenuity in Indie - I love that laid back vocal of yours and the whole vibe of 'I fell out with life' kinda feeling. 20/10

Still trawling the back catalog! Thanks for checking this out. It's terribly rough but captures a moment in time for me so I still like it. Been taking a wee break from LM, just listening here and there, but might put a track out soon. Cheers Chris

Hi there, gosh it's nice to get a comment out of the blue like this on an old track, thanks. I remember distinctly recording it as it was late night/early morning, both front doors were wide open and the full moon was shining in. There wasn't much forethought but yes, I was pleased with the vibe, and I still like the track myself so that's good! Cheers mate.
Danke

Definitely what you said in the description I like it we could play this at the Regal Beagle lol you know I do actually like rock I'm just the hyphae and hyper person so it's funny how our tracks show our personality in a way

Never a truer word than that spoken in jest! Thanks a lot man. I shudder to think what kind of establishment the Regal Beagle is or was!

What's up ZOOT!

This track had me from the first second and held me tight till the end. The creativity is delicious. I love the way the Bass and Drums are kinda just playing, like there is nowhere to go but their getting there. Your Vocals match the mood of the track perfectly. I live for this kind of music.

Great Track. Faved..

PEACE...

Kia ora good Sir, that's so good to hear. I think you hit the nail on the head with that 'nowhere to go but getting there' line! Means a lot coming from yourself, thanks for the fav.

This tune reminds me of something I would get when I bought a CMJ disk back in the nineties. Drowsy Xanax-induced music with an awesome Tape echo effect. well done.

Zootman replied 17th Jan 2022 - 4 years ago
Ta muchly. Was kind of pleased with it as improv but then I hear others skills and think I need to lay off the Xanax! Still we live and learn, thanks for the listen

Bonito tema amigo Chris, con unas poderosas guitarras, muy amenas y agradables al oído. Tu voz es muy indicada para este estilo de música, entre pausada y envolvente que se queda rápidamente con nuestra atención. La mezcla es clara y nítida, de mucha calidad. Que tengas un buena noche compañero. Paz y salud.

This track has INXS written all over it, I think I mentioned before that your voice reminds me of the lead singer and this whole production oozes INXS cool vibes. Kudos!

Well that was well worth 5.06 mins of my time, agree with cyber it's got an indie feel within a soft rock track. Been waiting for you to sing again Chris. The guitars are great the bass is hard the drums are staged really good beat kick and snare, but the star of this piece is your vocal mate, very very cool, it's fresh, you impressed me, original creative and exceptionally good. Great job faved

Kia ora Paul, thanks so much. I must be a poor judge of my own stuff cause I thought the vox were the week point! It was improv and one take but still, you should have heard what I cut out, warbling all over the place trying to find melody and words. Och aye

It's the bonus track. Every once in a while a MP3 will be silent for 10 or 15 minutes, then something like this would pop up. Ahh the hey day of the CD...

Not a mess.

Hey, since you have the balls to sing I should send you a backing track or something.

Faved.

Zootman replied 11th Jan 2022 - 4 years ago
Ha yeah I remember a few of those. Sometimes they were the best tracks on the album. Not sure I'd call what I do singing, specially on this one it's pretty flat in places. The whole thing was improv and spontaneous and only got done cause wife and kids were away and I got up to mischief. Anyway, welcome to send me something that would be cool.

Very cool mate - kind of ed keupper meets martin phillipps sound but all your own. Love your voice, love the slacker guitar feel and the ambience and nice sound and mix up with the drums.

Description : 'Taqdeer' in Urdu means 'Fate' or 'Destiny'. This is an Arabic /Hindi/Bollywood hip hop /club track. The drums are hip hop but the vibe is full sad emotional club vibe. It reminiscences of a man crying teardrops in a nightclub. That can be the best way to explain the vibe of this track. Hope you enjoy it!

Description : A high energy Afro fusion instrumental built around a driving rhythm, melodic elements, and a smooth, infectious bounce. The production blends energetic percussion with a melodic atmosphere, creating a versatile foundation for artists to bring their own sound and personality.

Perfect for artists looking for an energetic record with room for catchy melodies, confident flows, and expressive songwriting. Whether it's a feel good anthem, a hustle driven record, or a late night Afro fusion vibe.
