Hey Brother Mike
This track is out of this world my dear mike.
How have you been mate?
Unfortunately, on the 3rd of May, I went to the hospital to have a stent put in.
with an hour later I was transported to another hospital for triple bypass ops.
I am recovering at the moment as soon as I'm well I will be back.
See you soon mate.

Have you ever heard the American Prayer cd by the Doors?

Kinda reminds me of that, interesting, poignant, and cool all at the same time.

hey there, BB! i love that spare but really expressive beat and how well it matches eliot’s own cadence recorded like a hundred years ago. i’m really happy to have your listen, man!

Extremely interesting waveform, I knew I was in for a treat.
This track is very creative. I've listened to it twice trying
to figure out that "Occidental-ish" melody that runs through the center of the whole track. Super engaging really draws you in.

Great track. Faved..

PEACE...

man that mangled sound was the result of one of those accidents that go beyond understanding, and the way silverpaw played it is so empathetic and syncretic, it’s def a match for our chosen subject. i’m really happy you caught this, bro!

You're an artist my friend. Love the atmosphere you created, drums simple but perfect, lovely pad type thing (what is that?) and the poem is beautiful. And the sound quality is crystal. Too much.

this comes from an age ago, i had a real education from corey/silverpaw and we had a shared interest in ts, so this. i gotta find that man again. he is a real artist. the mangly sounds are mostly tortured casio by me resampled and played by silverpaw. cheers, buddy!

xstokes interesting interplay between the drums and narrative that’s hitting heavy. I really dig how you set the timing between the two. Interesting listen.

i’m so happy you liked this! it’s from years ago but still sounded pretty fresh to me so thought i’d share it. silverpaw was like a mentor and a brother to me and i hope i can find him again. so it makes me think of some others i care about but haven’t been good about keeping in touch with. i will do something about that! thank you for being out there, sister!

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!
