Funny how a good piece of satire can twist certain knickers into atomic wedgy status. This is a happening piece! Love the intro and drums and how they genuinely turn the genre upside down. I really like how the lyrics here really go after the whole commodification/commercialization/corporatism of hip hop culture. If this is hip hop, I've got to adjust my bias again as I really dig this one!
Haha..thanks man..this was just a tongue in cheek thing...I don't mind Hip Hop so much(not that I understand it)it's the knuckle dragger's that produce it that are the problem..cheers Dave :)
okkkkk thatz your view but itz like u fuezzed all genres together
it waz new check some of my work. i tend to call mine rhtymitic
soul something new so holla back
Hi Planet, I spotted this in the featured tracks box and gave it a whirl. Nice ambience to this, lovely acoustic guitar sound and great poetry - a marriage of two worlds indeed.
Very nice track!
That bass playing is incredible and the arrangements are great,very professional.Think I'm already addicted to that tune.
Thanks for the ride
This one is crossing lines here. I kind of feel like singing in spanish, but then i kind of feel like old school classic rock type feel. The percussion is steady and that large *Boom makes me feel like something exploded in my house. Okay, Okay, Nice video Game music.
First of all cool synthetic lead pattern. Like the time-sig..the bass is nice..cool tone (nicely used reverb). I like the percussion as well and the verb on the bass drum.
Thanks MrAD9..your very kind...I wasn't sure which way this one would end up..it's an interesting exercise to ad lib and get spontaneous...cheers planet :)
Haha...we both know it's an inconsequential little pothole on a backroad leading to the musical highway...but thanks for listening man!..cheers Dave :)
goes without saying that the bass & horns are awesome and very well arranged and done with quite the finesse. but you really fill the track out with the ambient sounds in the background that arise, as well as the curious sounds that accompany as accents. the beginning and end are awesome too I forgot to mention.
that breakdown around 1:50 is soooo dope too. great percussion. awesome production. 10/10.
Been wanting to get to hear some of your latest as I have a couple days off now.
Sounds like a fretless bass here. Something I have never owned. Has a nice sound. Kinda of gives a warm mellow feeling.
The piano parts fit in nicely from your friend. Very nice production overall.
I have Ableton live that came with my Pro Tools, but have never used it. I did open it up and experimented with it for about 1/2 hour and decided it was too much to learn all at once, as I was learning PT. at the time too.
Hey Abe..good question! lol..I'm sure in an expanded and scrutinized version a more repetitive key signature would emerge..I'm dabbling in Fsharp and A with a lot of flats thrown in...In these free form sessions I suppose I'm more concerned with timing..but I like to get the apparition of unexpected chords within the music by trying to play fifths in conjunction to what I'm hearing...in these sort of things I'm winging it..which I suppose in some ways is necessary if you want to fly..lol..ps...I'll definitely be checking out squarepusher..cheers mate :)
Dear Planet, Just to let you know that I play this track on my ipod more than any other by any other artist. I looked at my play count and it is top. It is the business in my opinion! Rgds C69
Hey mate..that's very cool to hear that..(sorry for the late reply)...it's always interesting to imagine what people are doing listening to music when it;s streaming on an ipod..walking down the street,shopping etc just chilling somewhere on the globe..I'm very flattered that you like it...thanks a heap that makes me feel good!..cheers :)
Hey Abe...I hear you man...that's one of the best reviews I've ever received..I think a lot of what your talking about is the true actual fundamentals of good music..clearly when I created this piece I had a vision of what I wanted but in the application of it...it fell down in a few critical areas..I put it down to at that stage not being totally up to speed with my recording software and techniques...so rather than delivering a piece that breathes..it got cobbled together..I think I've reached the stage now where I'm a lot more aware of this...and there's more light and shade in my work....and please whenever you think I might take something badly..go in even harder!..I'm totally aware that music is a learning process..man sometimes I feel like I'm still on the first page!...cheers buddy..Dave :)
ah this is just what the doctor ordered. you have done a great thing here! love the birds and what you've done with slaps horn. great slide on that fat jazz bass!
ever humble,
neil
(sorry for the late reply)..thank you very much!..I love atmospherics..I grew up with cars that had no airconditioning..so once I recorded a whole thunderstorm and used to play it in my car's tape deck on really hot days..didn't cool me down but it sounded way cool!..cheers man :)
Hi Planet, I had heard that your stuff was cool and needed checking out. Well here I am and yes I love your stuff. Just my thing. Down loaded this track for my Ipod. Rockin'
Nice,... pretty much sounds like a hip hop beat of the old school. LMAO your vox are hilarious. I couldnt really understand some parts but yeah "Boogie Woogie"
I think hip hop (like rock and roll was) is just mis understood. A few bad seeds ruin it for the rest.
Lol..yeah mate I agree...a lot of musical forms initially annoyed me Metal,Disco..Austrian Ooompha Bands,etc..hehe..What I know about HipHop could be written on the head of a pin..I think music is becoming more cross bred these days with many styles embedded within an evolving template......augers well for the future perhaps...thanks for taking time out to review..I appreciate it!..cheers planet :)
I don't even feel qualified to review this track, for it's way too good! Music and words are extremely inspiring! The intro reminded me of Jefferson Airplane or something like that. This is definitely getting faved and downloaded! Thanks for sharing!
dude, this reminded me so much of jaco and WR but seen through an almost ambient/Material kaleidoscope, man a friend of mine had a real nice one when we were little kids..Slap Johnson sounds great, beautiful tone...wish we could jam in the same room together :)...amazing work man..
thanks for sharing your artistry!

You definitely speak in volumes!
Is this in the Key of Black and White???
lol
this is Jazz for a new generation in someways!
I did hear something going on-- IN whole notes over this in my head which would have opened up the feeling --- at least in my mind. Just my opinion
Despite my criticism, the break was ENOUGH for me to fall in love with the track.
all in ten minutes!
You like any Squarepusher? You would LOOOOOVE squarepusher Dave.
seriously. Check him out, if you haven't.
Faved, Downloaded, Recommended.
(seriously, what key is this in?-- I love it, it's like a digital chameleon???)

i had heard this song months ago, and... i liked it...
but bass was soo powerful.
and the compression was ... almost too sharp.. post edit**NOT TOO sharp.. but less threshold
and. this is a song of joy. something that i naturally don't feel aligned with often. but i really do LOVE the changing keys and pace.
i ... don't want you to take this ... baddly.. but let the music speak? let it have a moment DURING your playing to draw emotion?.
i still love it!
edit
Try and speak with your mouth, a statement with you bass in your hands, and record a solo style thing there??? ... for me?
