I'm not sure what "yellus" means, I can only interpret it as jealous, though I may be wrong. I am in no way jealous. Your "why" must be in reference to my comment on your track... it was not meant in any way personally, and I apologize if it was taken that way. I only commented my true feelings, like I do on every track I review. A comment on my track would not be the best way to communicate something like this, more so a private message on my profile. Your comment has no relevance to my track. Again, I apologize if I was offensive, it was not meant that way. I only meant that the sounds in the track sounded the same as the original except degraded, hence my idea that maybe it was taken from the already mixed version which Kevin released. You gave no credit or links to acapellas or remix packs, so I felt that it may have been done without permission. All of this was just my honest feelings, which I was I stated "correct me if I'm wrong." You did so, so let's leave it at that. I only listened to your song because it had the same title as one of my older tracks.

Hi Scott, thank you for your listen and kind words! It always makes me happy when you visit my page!

Hello Orlando! I've been quite pleased to receive so many compliments and support from you on my recent works, so thank you for that! Bowie has some of my favorite vocal tracks ever for sure, so it makes sense a bit of that would seep through eventually. Was worried that you decided not to favorite this track, as your name isn't there. Hope that is not the case! :)

Hey, appreciate the feedback and support! Thank you!

Hey WB, thank you for the kind and thorough comment! I'm happy that you did indeed hear the psy/goa influence in this. I really enjoy doing vocals for musical styles that wouldn't normally have standard lyrical structures, such as psy or techno... I find it brings out an industrial aspect to things which wouldn't normally have it. In addition, those are the kinds of music I enjoy making, so if I have something to say, it only makes sense to say it this way. "Different and unexpected" are both great comments for me as a musician, so thank you for that! This was much appreciated!

Hey there, I really appreciate you listening and leaving a comment! I see you've only been around here for a week, and yet you've already done 43 track comments... you should be proud! All I can ask is that you stay active, and help this place be all it should be, and used to be! Happy that you enjoyed listening, and I'll be at your page in a moment!

Hey Mosaic, thank you for the extremely kind comment! I don't know exactly why I'm not allowing download, just felt right... but you have a copy now, so I won't worry about it. I really do appreciate your continued support and friendship. Hope you are doing okay!

Ha ha, Metropolis! Used to really get into that movie, like 15 years ago. I'll have to look up Faust, as while I have heard of them, I can't really name a song. The attitude and angst is definitely there, and it is sad, but when creating songs on subjects I really care about, it seems natural to leave my care behind for the most part. In fact it is one reason I make lyrical music at all. The "termite action" you mention really hits home - during some of the later creation of this song I had carpenter ants trying to destroy the structure of the roof in my studio space. Freaked me out. I thought it was termites to begin with, but it got WAY too noisy to be little termites. Interesting you mention live performance, as I have been trying to work towards the ability to do slightly stripped down performances in the future, both by designing portable gear and practice. Aside from that, Iris-T-Shirt is getting all the pissed off energy we need to make a comeback. I am fully capable of the visual shock element, so that's the easy part... just ask the lady who gave us the eye when we got all excited about the rusty tire iron for $1 at the thrift shop!! (no we don't have a car) I appreciate your supportive list of my efforts there, I guess the only thing missing is performance art (sans music). Thank you so much for your listen and comment!

Hey joe, thank you for the kind words on this piece! "Stop it, I can['t handle anymore" sort of sums up how I've been feeling in reaction to say many aspects of life lately, so I appreciate that it shows through. Aggressive and hypnotic were both part of what I was aiming for. I have trouble not bringing psy/goa trance influences into most things lately, I find that it makes the time spent working on the music more enjoyable as well as making it disappear as it happens. Very happy with how some of the hardware based recordings turned out on this. Happy that the lyrics were okay, they were mostly written in two sessions about nine months apart... influenced by different situations, but working together for the mood. I always dig 80s sounding stuff as well, so thank you for that comment. I appreciate all your support!

Thank you for being the first to listen and comment on this song! You can always be relied on for valuable feedback and continued interest. "I want more of an empty free space!" - regarding this, I feel exactly the same way. The "limit" I speak of relates to the limits we set for ourselves, plus the limits placed on us by society, laws, and expectations. Then there are the physical limitations of the organ we call the brain. The limits I speak of are greatly enhanced by the close quarters of the human condition in this ghetto we call the earth. We all have our little boxes with fences around them (if we're lucky, sadly) - we are placed in position which forces us to defend these things with our lives and honor. Since not all of us value the same things, there arises dispute, and the limits of law come into play. This is all in our mind, but is constantly reinforced by external circumstances (which are in other's minds). Hope that clarifies my position a little. I'm happy you enjoyed listening and I value your comments!

Hey mudhoen, thank you very much for the uplifting comment! I'm really happy I was able to finish this one, and maintain the positive feeling. Not as easy as it seemed. I appreciate you listening and leaving your words!

Hey OmarMuk, very nice to hear from you on this piece. You're too kind with your praise! I remember playing Mario Kart a bit back a while, though I was more fond of earlier consoles. SNES did have some sweet music though. Thank you for the compliments on the sounds used. One of my most comforting feelings in life is listening to one of my songs, and thinking "I have no idea how I made that sound." When my headphones on my head, I am in a different world. Thank you for stopping by!

Thank you for the positive comment on this intentionally positive song! I enjoy helping people be happy at least as much as I enjoy "shaking things up." I'm not really into children, but I do like to see them happy and playing... adults too! Your listen and comment pleases me, so thank you again!

Hey Evan, it's cool to hear from you on this track! Your comment pleases me, as I made a promise to myself to make my next album considerable more positive than the last one. "Impossible to be angry while listening to this track." I can't help but laugh when reading that, because I was immersed in anger most of the time I was working on this one. It's cool to hear that it didn't contaminate my art! It's better to be stuck in the head than to have your head stuck. I realize we make different sorts of music, but I appreciate you leaving your comfort zone for a few minutes. I'm fairly proud of this one, and it's 2 plays away from 1000 now! Thank you, and I hope that you are well!

Hey zEKO, thank you for the listen and the kind comment! Boys say go and Disco Disco must be other bands or something, as I know Depeche Mode very well, and don't recognize them as song titles... But either way, I'm always super pleased to be compared in any way to DM! I too miss music such as this, I'm just happy that I remember when it was popular. Finishing this song took a lot out of me, but I'm in recovery trying to get my studio into a new era. Hopefully the carpenter ants decide to move out of the ceiling! Thank you very much!

Hey Mosaic, thank you for the comment on this one! You are right, I was slightly drunk whilst recording these vocals, though I think the doubled vocals add to that feeling considerably. I've got a problem, and it's not the only one! Drunk or not, I'm still very happy with arrangement and composition on this one. I'm really feeling the decadent new wave vibe lately, and it bleeds through to my work. If only I could stop dreaming of the end. What's more real and important; this prison we're in, or the freedom of death which follows? Sorry about that... I'm not much into editing myself, so there it sits. I hope that you are doing better! If your latest song is any indication, then I would guess that you are! Appreciate your listen friend!

Hey Orlando, your interpretation is right on the nose regarding this track! That (sardonic amusement) was most of the feeling which led me to write the song. I always appreciate your viewpoint when reacting to my songs. Thank you very much for taking a listen!

Hey Aviat I totally appreciate your comment! I'm pleased with how it turned out, and with the reaction to it (considering it's the most played electronic track on Looperman now!). Controlling my modular with MIDI is so fun, especially for bass lines... so I'm glad you liked that part. I've always gotten into snappy beats, and I'm glad this fits the bill. The lyrics were written after the arrangement was composed, so I'm glad the vocals fit in. I wanted it to be an uplifting melodic feel, as opposed to the stuff on my last album... seems like I nailed that part of it. Thank you so much for listening!

Hey there, thank you for checking out the new version! I'm glad you enjoyed the listen. The completed modular bass line ended up sounding pretty good I think, not so mid range as the earlier version... and in tune of course! Listening to your new one right now!

Hey, I'm honored by your words and your listen! I'm pretty happy with how this turned out as well. The intro stands out because the e piano is more prominent there, I like how it has kind of a tentative shivering feel to it. Seems like there are smiles all around with this new version, so that's a good thing. I hope that you are well, and I'll see you at your profile!

Hey friend, thank you for taking a listen and leaving your kind words! Happy this could entice you to smile! As far as the amiga thing goes, the main start of my digital song creation was on MED soundstudio tracker about 15 years ago. MED was ported from amiga, where it was known as OctaMED. So I guess that it makes sense that I carry that era into my newer recordings. I appreciate the comment!

Hello to a newer member, and thank you for your listen and comment! I am a strange person, so it is no skin off my teeth. I will admit to being heavily influence by the 80's and 90's, though a I don't often listen to stuff from the 90's any more, mostly older or newer things. I love the 80's to the point of being annoying to those around me. I appreciate the compliment regarding the vocal's relevance. I worked really hard to make everything right for the theme. It was an octave higher than my normal range, so obviously a challenge. It's good to hear from you, and I"ll be checking out your profile in a moment.

Ha ha, funny comment all around! "Big Smile" is a big idea in the works for Iris-T-Shirt, so extra funny there. Then there's the polka thing... me and the liquor store manager were just making icky faces about the pawn shops collection of polka records, makes me laugh! I'm glad the lyric/title thing makes sense to you... it was basically rhyming for the sake of sensitivity to those involved, and I do love rhymes. Around here, back in the 90s, we had a word for the situation you mention... "happily depressed." I am definitely more likely to be angry and happy at the same time as opposed to sad or depressed any more, but it still works. I tried to incorporate the "matriculation" idea into the recording and mixing as well, and I think it worked out well. I really appreciate you checking out the real version of this song!

Danke, thank you so much for the supportive comment! The "electro-punk" category sounds like an appropriate one for this track, so thank you for that as well. You compliments mean a lot to me. Interesting that you mention "toy sounded instruments," as I often use toys, but did not in this song. I guess it's just become part of my sound regardless of my intentions! Appreciate the fave and download! Hope all is well!
