yes - I really like this a lot - love any combo of space and music - especially what i call "spacerock" - and this is a really good one! perfect mix for this tune!
Frenchkid, I've listened to 4 or 5 of your tracks and this is my favorite so far. The vocals sound great and well-integrated with the music, and the lyrics are good and melody is hooky. I love the simplicity and cleanness. The funk is hot. This is just personal opinion and probably bs, but I would have liked - sort of expected - a transition in the rhythm guitar for the chorus, a little faster maybe, more dry strumming (or whatever the term is, where the friction on the strings is greater than the sound coming out). That said, I like this so much I faved it halfway through.

Hey Frenchkid, no, sadly, I don't play piano, or anything as a matter of fact. I'd be lost without loops. My friend and collaborator, Lisagaye, plays piano though. She's not a member, but I just emailed her and told her she should join. You can hear her awesome voice on our track "Reaper's Claw" which is on my page. Besides piano, she also plays guitar and violin. I hope she does join so that we can get collabs going perhaps with some of the awesome members like you. I'll let you know.
Hi,
Thanks a lot for this very nice review.I quite agree with you about the variation the song needs at this moment.I thought some keys would be nice on this one,but as I don't play the piano,I thought I might need some help from a looperman fellow,lol.If you play and if you're interested let me know.
Cheers
French Kid
I really like the driving beat on this one. You are especially good on the vocal here too. Another great collaboration; you and Wayne prove that 1+1 can sometimes make 3. -Ken
I like the electronic aspects of this track a lot, and the guitar adds a nice edge to the groove. The drums seem to have a very funky edge, fun stuff! This track would be really cool with some vocals I think. Groovy track my friend!
The drums sound great, on play two now. Nice effects on the guitar all the way through it. I like the bits of electronic sounds in this, kept it interesting. Very cool tune!
Nice job with the piano Koukotsu! Sounds nice without the guitar and just the piano(i just love the piano). You two work well together, look forward to more collabs.
Thanks Wayne,the guitar was slightly off tempo sometimes cause I recorded it first without beat or metronome.Think it sounds nice with Koukotsu's piano.
Cheers
French Kid
Give more time for vocal mixing , too much reverb is not good
piano need to be more live... not mechanical & not artificial
drums loop should be mixed carefully also
Koukotsu's joining this site is a splendid thing. She's one of those that really stands out, both in terms of her artistry and in terms of her presence.
This collaboration really validates this for me. I loved your collaboration on "Lizard Breath" and I like this one equally well. Faved.
Clean track this....12 bar's have been around for ages and it's probably one of the hardest things to make one stand out...a cool vocal presence here makes this one special...uncluttered, which lets the voice project strongly...nice one! cheers planet :)
Thank you so much for taking your time to write all these reviews.For me loops are quite a new thing.I spent many years recording my songs on a 4 track recorder.Now,I like to use loops and all these softwares give you so many possibilities but still I love to use real instruments cause every take is unique with little imperfections sometimes,lol.
Cheers

Another great tune...with a clear and present style..man I wish I could sing..it must be great and very liberating..and this is floating on some cool guitar chugging ..I really dig that percussive metre your playing for rhythm ,it's solid (and bass players and drummers love it!)..cheers planet :)
Hey man..cool! Aahh I like this....this track has real appeal and it's catchy..(two of the most important elements of any piece of music in today's industry) sadly there's also the spectre of sex appeal..so if you get Lady GaGa to cover it you'll have a hit! lol...seriously this is great stuff and super enjoyable..I love that bass line from Mr Hump as well...Man I've been remiss not to listen to more of your tracks..I'll be attending to that!..cheers planet :)
hi,
Thanks a lot man,really nice to get some feedback from you.I collabed with Koukotsu on a song called "Lizard Breath",you can check it on her profile.
Cheers
French Kid
O that's nice.. and I am glad, You agree and take it in a good way.. Cause You CAN sing..ss So I'm looking forward to hear, You trust it.. I will hear that number then..
This track is SO great, that You can sing it with a lot more self-confidence.. You have a nice voice and the song is great, so I would like to hear it with a "I really know what I'm doing here and I HAVE A GREAT VOICE AND I KNOW IT and it's a great song-voice".. Meant in a good way dear.. Nice..
Thnaks so much for the review and the kind words.You're right,the vocals are a bit "shy" on this one.I never really considered myself as a singer until recently.I posted another track called "Lost in Space"today,think the vocals are better.I'm gonna check your tracks right now.
thanks again
French Kid
Thought it was rather good,see your point about the guitar. I think it works and should be there, but it seems slightly out of timing maybe or just off tempo? Either way good track, all the best
Thanks for the review.
Yeah,the guitar is slightly off tempo.The thing is I recorded the song without any beat or metronome cause i just wanted to do a vocals and guitar track.But now,Koukotsu added this wonderful piano and beats so I'm gonna record the guitar again
