I really like the old radio sound of the vocals. Really adds a dark level of immersion in the song itself.

The kicks in the first half gives this song a HOUSE-Y vibe. Was this intentional?

Either way, well done

The vocals involved my first experiment in automation with the delay/feedback. No real intention as far as the beat was concerned, I just liked it and thought it fitted. Cheers Zoot.

I really like the driving rhythm, it sort of propels you forward, the fuzz and dissonance blurs like the rear view mirror at high speeds but like high beams in fog the bass line cuts the path, so you continue down the winding road, nice journey!

AH !!! THe Passenger, off Lust For Life, Iggy Pop. Siouxsie & the Banshees covered it. It's a classic. Now you did it!! No wonder I love it!! Great job man.

You got it! Very cool to hear you appreciated it. Yes only really the lyrics ripped off, didn't use the actual chord progression of the original obviously. And boy, it's been a while since I thought of Siouxsie and co. Might have to go back and listen again. Cheers.

This is trippy as hell man. Sounds like a radio message from a whiteboy ghetto space station. Like the coolest thing I've heard on LM in awhile. I'm putting this on my Iphone.

Hey Chris, ive been on a listening streak today, and caught up on some more of your work. How would you feel about sending me some stems? I prefer new/unused work but i wont be picky here. I can work with any key but i prefer bpm between 110-150, or halftime. Lmk, my friend. Youve put out some really nice work! Keep it up. -Aaron

Hey Aaron. Thanks for having a listen bro. Any stems in particular from these tracks or something new? Instruments or vox?

Very masterfully done. This is what a real instrumental should sound like. It stands up on its own as an in-depth nonsystematic musical masterpiece, meaning there is righteous and adept order in the chaos of the arrangement. The Vox brings the whole thing front and center. Great fxs work too. Saturation/Distortion parts are perfect. Great final Master. Well done!

Greetings and thanks for your lovely comment. I couldn't decide on a structure for this but in the end went for a devolution into chaos as you eloquently point out. As for the guitar fx, I recently sprung the cash for the full version of guitar rig pro, glad I did as the fx bank is superb and will keep me busy for years I think! Cheers from down under.

what a psychedelic ride ... fantastic trip but let that last note flying more ... hope, you know, what I mean ...
fistbump, Danke

HI Danke, yeah I know what you mean. The ending was some sort of artefact I just went with, but you're right, it needs to go for longer. Not sure I'll come back to this one though. And man, gotta say again, I loved that last lofi one you put up. It's lofi and some of the sounds are lofi, but not the usual drifty type of thing - yours had a darkness to it I thought.

Dark, urban, smokey bar, desolate feeling. And also could be the theme song for a tv cop show. If you go back into it, I would also turn up the level of the vocals. Nice low end!

The Passenger is one of my fav Iggy tunes, btw.

Yeah it's a great song. Bowie produced it I think, and played piano on it apparently, though to be honest, I can't remember a piano in it!! Cheers man.

nice work Chris, such a deep vibe you created with this work, i like the vocal stolen from iggy or not, its got a great pace setting beat and that snare is tight, so this is DUNK, im a fan bro

Thanks Paul, wasn't sure about it, sometimes I thought it was good, other times maybe lacking some proper structure. Might come back to it...Cheers man.
