wow, sweet track my friend, did you find the voodoo, the jam is great! never really heard anything like this and i think thats what makes this site great! Mag-Nito

Great track, a bit way out there. Its got a bit of a "Talking Heads" feel to it and i love the chipmunk laugh!!

sweet man. joe zawinul...you're not kidding. it's like weather report ran into frank zappa at the grocery store....and that's a good thing!

nice tune. i dig it.

ah, on second listen thats a bird call not laughter hey? the feelings of lunacy i was gettin off this one have been replaced with a deeper sense of some deep jungle voodoo.

you definitely found and worked that voodoo planet, and you worked it right.
always a big fan of your bass licks, never fail to impress. and that cackling laughter was a very nice touch, added some very effective lunacy to the track, just the right amout.
ah... and some very emotional fretwork dropped on me after that eerie refrain. im definitely downloading this.

bravo,
TJ

So dark, so very very dark.
I can picture this being played over a snuff horror movie, then the man starts screaming, to be completely honest, I'm quiet scared. Amazing track you've got here, to be able to control a persons emotions so much, isn't that what music is all about?

Glad I stumbled onto this one, Great work.

Playing for random people. I was listening to my Ipod earlier at my unit while we were on a burning documents detail and this guy came up to BS with his buddies and he made a comment about how I was listening to 'rave music'. So I looked at him and asked what he'd like to hear. He asked me if I had any Hip-hop stuff. So I punched up 'Battlecry' and he was like- 'what is this?'. I told him that it was a beat I had made and he had one of his buddies come over to listen. And then he walked off, dunno why.

Anyways, as for this track and those comments. I'm left wondering what they're like. And then it causes me to wonder if there is music that is made for just the average listener and other stuff that's made for other musicians. I'm thinkin that this has that musician's music quality about it. Kinda like the avg listener might not get all of what's going on in this track. Kinda like Abstract Expressionism and how the typical connoisseur wouldn't probably appreciate it as much as avid enthusaist would. Very deep mate, very deep. Later on!

Wonder why it's 2 cigarettes? I'm trying to think about how my mornings go. Umm, I don't usually smoke until I've eaten or showered. Unless I've got company that do, then maybe. Course, I don't like to think about mornings much, because I'm not that keen on 'em.

This track, is almost amoeboid. Lacking any real definate shape. And all of the additional sounds going on kinda remind me of those SFX tracks that they would use alot in the 60s-80s (well, 90s if you consider the made-for-cable stuff) for sci-fi and horror flicks. Alright, now who's got the Popcorn? Haha, lates!

Love this big time.
I am often asked why I carry tons of media from place to place over the decades. With each move I migrate Crates, Boxes, Trunks of Tapes, Vinyl, CD's, Hard Drives, Video, Film, Mini Disc, DAT, ADAT, Reels, etc...
Every few years I mine the media and inevitably i find a forgotten gem that ends up on another all time best compilation. Your mention of finding this gem on your drive encourages me to continue to maintain the vast library regardless of the burden.
Big smiles here. Thanks Planet.

that was the coolest intro to knock me off my chair in many a moon! quintacential planet for sure! I'm a monkey!

I love the reverb on the drums, gives it an awesome big sound, especially on teh bass. And the guitar licks are sweet! what reverb did you apply?

This is like an instant classic. Loved every minute of it! You are quite an experienced guy eh?
Great work! How long would you say it took to make this?

HOW DO YOU DO THAT VOODOO THAT YOU DO SO WELL?

Rainbows- I'm reminded of Lucky Charms, The Wizard of Oz, that kids cartoon (blanking on the name), and innocent mistical things. Can't rock 'em out anymore, nooo, not since someone made it their flag (exhausted sigh to agonizing scream w/tears)... Why!?!?

Anyways, this song did an excellent job of taking me outside and your description placed me in the backyard of my grandparent's place up in Indiana (before they moved to SC). The house was on a hill and the backyard kinda bowled in the middle. Lots of trees and flowers surrounded it. The house was a white 2-story with a massive enclosed back porch (typical of 1950's architecture, pre-Wright trends). I use to spend many an hour out there on my Big Wheel during the warmer months, lemme tell you. Thanks for taking me back mate. I miss that place!

Usually just lands me into some kinda trouble with tha ladies during IMs. And normally not my fault either (shrugs).

I like the slow way it rolls from low to medium on this. Then breaks into that high melody. You know that scene in most drama's where you get that shot of the person looking out the window of their room when it's raining (and sometimes at night where's it's pitch black behind them)? The camera catches their expression (either dismal or dreamy) and the water running and gathering it's way down the glass? That's what I'm seein right now. There are also bits of it now that kinda remind me of those 'running-towards-eachother-and-embrace' type of love reunions they use during the good moments (if there's romance involved). This guy should compose a score for something. Later on!

Just gorgeous.
Instant Five Star ***** Fav.
There is a voyage, a journey, a migration going on in the world of this piece. Impressive.

oddly familiar. What was it... Think, think!? You didn't do a song about shoes did you? Or was that TheRealNiel aka SpacestationWagon? It's really trippy because it's like I can remember sitting here 'x' amount of months ago listening to the same thing. Dude, it's like I'm livin in both times, but the master/slave thing is goin on with there here/then. So it's like I'm listening to it in surround while watching myself type with like a little screen behind my eyes (and to one corner) seeing the memory. It's very De ja vu man. Isn't the penummy-nummy-peanut butter the thing in the ears that gives us balance? Later on mate!

Wire can be a live saver in backwater joints like these. Nothing's worse than a drunken good ole boy with an empty beer bottle. He'll typically does the primate thing and tries turing it into a tool (or weapon) and in frustration ends up hurling it up at the stage.

I'm absolutely lovin the machine gun soundin riff that's on the percs (?). The Guitar on this kinda reminds me of the Stones and I think that's due to the vocals. With them being like a mix between Iggy Pop, The Ramones, and The Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Either that or my speakers have finally gone coo coo. Great mix mate. Later on!

Hi Planet, really like what you've got going in this track, the tranquilty of the birds at the start then blown away by the bass, some really haevy funky basslines in there but still easy on the ears.

Thanks for sharing.

Insanly trippy, reminds of the residents or Animal collective or Renaldo and the loaf. Reminds me of My favorite movie, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

I really dig this track, Very chilled, but kinda earie too, The bass is cool and those drums are bangin'

I really enjoyed listening to this.

Not put in Chillout. This is new genre = Freakout. The voodooman lurks large in yr track. excellent composition and use of fretless base. great.

Oh, thaaat voodoo. I borrowed it (my friends needed to be punished). I'll return it soon though, don't you worry...

Anyway that was wicked, love that kooka that you added. You know one morning I actually saw about 5 or 6 kookas squashed together in our neighbour's TV antenna, all laughing at once. They created such a racket, but I can understand why those buggers where laughing.

But we're getting out of topic. The guits here were awesome, they sound almost wailing, chanting. As Acrylic said: Intense. This is really good Dave!

Reminded me of a birthday card my Grandma sent me this year. Six boats tied to their moor stakes. Really nice, and the title is really fitting to the music.

Since it's been playing I've been taken to a dock in late spring (end of April) in the early afternoon. Looking out over the water with the sun to my back, the sky smeared with clouds covering a third of the darker part of the sky, with a few ships here and there in the U-shaped bay. The smell of sea air, faded tar, and food fill the nostrils. As handfuls of people, sprinkled here and there walk about (some are families, others are couple, others are small groups of friends), all with their own destinations. Right in front and a little to the right there is a medium sized fishing boat that's being cleaned off and tied down, as a father & son (with friend) crew tries to go home for the day. Thanks for the awesome vision mate. Will def sav/fav. Later on!

That's one rusty Merri-go-round they've got there. The intro to this was chalk full of suspense. I was originally thinkin of Zombie flicks like Night of the Living Dead and then Resident Evil, the the jungle vocal effects on this started reminding me of those outbreak type movies and such. Then when the chanting started I remembered this one Zombie flick I saw ages ago about the scary world of Hoo-Doo, evil witch doctors, and all that. Can't remember it's name to save my life (nooo, don't bury me, I'm still alive).

The guitars on this are sorta like the changes in heart rate mixed with the emotions felt on a nervous (system) level. Thanks man, now I can't turn off the lights (shudders in chair). Later on!
