Hey man thanks for the great review!...it's interesting reading your take on the influences running through this piece and even better that in a collaboration they all can come out...we all play off each other and give appropriate space and freedom during the whole process,working with these guys is a communal buzz..thanks for the offer man,I really appreciate that!..cheers from Dave,Detlef,Bill and Steve :)

Hi Elaine..well in actual fact I contacted Dola about a possible collaboration as I'd always found his proto obscenic style almost Dadaist in nature....plus I'd been soaking up all the HH radiation around this place for God knows how long I virtually glowed in the dark..which probably goes to prove the more vociferous a protagonist the closer they are to crossing over..........Nah,I just made all that up! lol cheers Dave :)

Thanks man!..always nice to hear we're being heard on the ipod!..cheers mate Dave :)

Hey Donnie,thanks man..interesting comment about the female vox and I agree with you,initially I thought it was female too!all the vocals were generated in Zero-G's Vocal Forge Vst..you can make whole songs etc,I was trying to get some sort of different vocal continuity happening from the samples within it,but the selection was limited and they come in various pitches,I'm still not sure as to the gender ! lol...cheers mate Dave :)

Cheers man,glad you liked the fusion groove...cheers Dave :)

Hey Dave..thanks man!..glad you enjoyed the track..regards from Detlef,Steve.Bill and myself..cheers Dave :)

Hey Alcraine...thanks man! there's more than a little laissez-faire in the Hip Hop attitude..I like that aspect! lol..cheers mate Dave :)

Hey Joe..thanks for the cool words!..man there's nothing I'd like better than to be performing live with Detlef,Steve and Bill...it is possible, but a very very costly proposition..we all live in widely separate countries with our own things going on...man it would be so cool though!..I will wish for millions!lol..cheers Dave :)

LOL!..hehe,thanks Toonz!I doubt there's anywhere else on the planet where a broader diversity of accents exist than in the UK....being a complete Anglophile I dig em all!..cheers from the all the guys...Dave :)

Hey Kenny Lee..thanks for the props man,much appreciated!..music is such a buzz and the thing is you never ever stop learning,I'm just scratching the surface of it..my ambition is to get about 2 feet into it! lol cheers mate Dave

Haha..well Kenny Lee I used to hate Hip Hop,I used to think it was an insult to my sensibilities and generation...Man I was so ignorant and biased,but being on Looperman exposed me to this music and like a lot of unfounded prejudices I found I like it,I dig most music,and definitely all music where the participants are enjoying themselves...I'm no homie sitting on a stoop though! lol...cheers Dave ;)

Hey John you've been stalking my tracks! LOL...I do appreciate the time you've spent listening to my music and your insights..where would we be without feedback from our peers!...the interesting thing is especially in my earlier work and I would imagine this applies to a lot of people..it isn't so much that my ideas or playing was inferior at that stage it was because I was at the start of the learning curve of my DAW and trying to make the transition from old ways(analog) thinking to the new digital age..this is where Looperman comes in,it's often been said that once you join you improve and I totally support this contention..now that the transition has totally digitized I feel that I can express myself more readily and quicker than before.....plus if ever there was a musical sounding board Looperman is it.......In one review 'Mission to Murmansk'you asked how I got this synth sound..Damn! I've been trying to find it again for years!LOL..actually it's a patch out of Native Instruments FM8,should be easy to find right...wrong! lol I have at present count over 25,000 patches for this particular soft synth and the one I used I subsequently morphed out of recognition..I will find and recreate this sound though!(one day) lol...John if ever there was someone who encapsulates all the good things about Looperman and music in general it's you..you have an open mind and a wealth of experience honed by life's journey...It's not that I don't value younger peoples opinions it's just that there's a divide,is it pre internet versus post internet mentality..I don't know..I'm just glad we're both on the same side of the fence! lol..cheers for all your support mate!..Dave :)
