Yeah man. I dig this. That was an interesting, (but pleasant) twist at 2:50. I really liked the massive reverb and the delay in it. It's somewhere between a dream, a memory, and a trip through the clouds without ever leaving your body. Thanks for pointing it out to me.

No worries. I like your poetic description. Cheers Zoot.

Hi Zootman. I like this, with or without any vocals. Found myself singing some tune and scribbling notes while listening. It has plenty of grit, determination AND with attitude. I'll send you some lyrics that should transform into readable text - that maybe "go" with it. Well done!

Hi there, thanks so much mate. I got your email. I like the words. Sometimes what holds me back from the singing side of things (apart from embarrassment at hearing my own voice) is not having lyrics so I appreciate these. We'll see if I come back to this one or not, it's possible. Anyway, thanks again. Cheers Chris.

Well done, great song. It reminds me of a night long ago. Back then you were still allowed to "smoke" in the venue :-)

You got it! And yeah, that's my favorite part. Got another rock track I'm just trying to finish too, which I'm quite pleased with. Hope you and the family are doing well. All the best Zoot.

Zootman! This speaks to me from the depths of the earth! I may play around with something on it if you don't mind? I'll share it with you if anything comes of it of course. Great comp though, love the depth!

Hi there, very nice to hear you liked it. I was going for a wall of sound thing, partially inspired by stuff like Sonic Youth (e.g. Theresa's Sound World - love that song). Plus I think the first section's chord progression, such as it is, comes from Iggy (Wanna Be Your Dog). Not that it sounds anything like either of those lol. If nothing else it was fun to have a go at mixing multiple guitar tracks. Anyway, so cool you might have a crack at it. I hope something comes of it. All the best, Chris.

Yes, yes a great track that could easily stand alone, as it is. Of course vocals are a special, colorful addition to a song, but music has lots of forms anyway.
Very well done.
My regards, Anthony

Hi Zoot !! I think it is worth doing something to add vocals here. I don't have any specific idea, it just seemed to me like this music was waiting for a voice (mainly till 2:50) . Great track anyway my friend ! Cheersssssss !

Zootman replied 17th Jun 2025 - 1 year ago
Yeah it wouldn't be hard to rearrange and make a space for a voice. Maybe one day. Thanks a lot, Zoot.

Very nice track Zoot. For sure it can stand alone as track because it's really good as it is now. No need for vocal. Great job! Cheers!

Description : Remaster and rework of older track that just didn't feel quite finished. It was lacking guitar work, and a better arrangement. I think it's in a good spot. I never did write lyrics for this, the vocal samples just seemed to fill it out pretty decently.

Description : Underground sample-based hip hop with overdriven low-end, broken-beat swing, sparse funky piano chops and heavy turntablism. Beat gaps and sudden mutes create hard-hitting drops, with a raw, dusty, low-frequency sound.

Description : Sorry to bombard with the same track. Here's the final version of the track I made using an Acapella from Looperman by JakeBuzzard. Now remasterd and with sub added plus scratches and more independent equalisation on drums / doubling up on a few instruments. I've also increased the volume on the samples used and the main vocals - as mentioned before, I'm deaf in 1 ear so struggle to get a good stereo mix, honest feedback is welcomed please
