I love the bass on this track and the weirdness that the vocals bring to the track. All of the sounds going on in the background are really interesting too. Another great track!

Hey thanks very much buddy! I too am quite fond of the bass. It's totally one of the most important songs to me that I've done to date, so your comment on the vocals means a lot to me. Loopmakers deserve most of the credit for the sounds on this song, so shout out to them! Thank you for listening friend!!

Hello again friend! I really appreciate the feedback! I'm very into talking heads, maybe not quite as much Devo, but I still respect what they do. Either way, it's nice of you to leave a comment! Thanks!

I couldn't think of the group because they are from the early 90's ....fun loving criminals but saying that...... The Cure too I would say :)

Hello friend, I really appreciate the feedback and listen! "Out of the mainstream" is a nice thing to say! I love hoovers, but kind of suck at using them... so I used it as a sort of symbol. Thank you very much for stopping in!

That distinct Spivkurl voice! I admit that I hadn't heard your vocal stylings before remixing Nightr8 but now I've become a fan. I liked the vocal-less version of Liberate as well but this takes it to a whole different level.

I only wish that I could have read the lyrics while listening. I tried to but it kept linking me to the feature track page :(

Hello friend, thank you for taking a listen and giving some feedback! I really got lazy using my voice for several years, but I'm, trying to train myself again. Working to find other ways of inducing an artificial vibe without autotune too. I am fond of the instrumental as well, I could just tell it wasn't over... now alternately I can't tell if it's over... weird. Sorry about the lyric link. Tried to sing clearly, but it goes by quick. Thank you again! Looking forward to visiting your profile.

As strange as your vocals sound(in a good way)there is something I like that keeps me listening till the end, the is a 80's pop group that you sound like and I just cant put my finger on it ?

LOVE your work keep it up mate :)

Means a lot to me friend. I can't even describe how strange this week, month, year...(whatever) has been. Shit was pretty much blowing up as this song came together... just pleased I got something out of it and that some people can enjoy listening. Quite curious about which group you're reminded of, mostly to see whether I'm influenced by them directly or not...heh. Thank you very much for your listen and support!

This version is just - cool

The grove reminds me on good old days of wave and punk and stuff, that was around us all the time then. The voice fits great to the rest and has realy a bit of TH .....

I feel good at listen and thats the best point of all.

Stay tuned

Thank you very much for the kind feedback! I have felt a little anarchic and punk recently, and that definitely carried into the song, especially the vocal take yesterday. I'm honored by your words, and I thank you!

Hey Pat, this is awesome stuff man....just when I think you can't surprise me any more, poof, here you come bringing the vocals.

Awesome work. No critique for the mix and master (you are one of the best) and the vocals are outstanding. All I got for you is a 10 out of 10 and a ton of respect. Definitely added to favorites. Hope all is well.

This comment made my day, so thank you! It was all about timing with this track, I mean the timing of when I worked on it. Yesterday was the perfect moment to get the lead vocals right, and I feel like I got a decent take. Hard to accept so many compliments at once, especially from a musician I respect deeply. I appreciate the fave, and the listen! Hope you are well!

bang on. I love it. Didn't expect to enjoy this track more with lyrics added, but definately do! For me what happens with your voice and what is going on with the rest of the sound makes a lot of enjoyable interesting sense. I'm gonna have to unfavour the no-lyrics one now, because after hearing this, that one sounds like its unfinished and really missing something. Thank you for posting! take care

Spivkurl replied 21st Jun 2014 - 11 years ago
That's quite a compliment that it feels unfinished without the vocals, so thank you for that! I was trying to keep a similar ethic throughout creation of the song, if that makes sense. I always appreciate your feedback and support! Take care!

I really appreciate you listening to the new version my friend! While I wasn't drunk, I was intending on an intoxicated vibe... lets compromise and call it "skunken" lyrics. Thank you for your comment!

I love the way you combined a reggaeton with a newave alternative type feel. If that makes sense. Really cool bassline. Interesting effects as well.

It's nice to hear something different and enjoyable. Nice production man.

Take care.

Hey thanks much! It's fun to hear people's interpretations of the genre, gotten moombahton, reggaeton, new wave alternative, industrial, electronic dub, cyberpunk... it's just funny I guess... I'm glad that you enjoyed listening. Still can't decide whether to tone down the vocals or not... we'll see. Thank you much for the comment!

Yes this qualifies spiv, interesting vocal choice. Kind of doesn't go with the vibe to me? It works in a incoherently coherent way I guess, and I don't mean this in a bad way. The vocals reminds me of a certain soundtrack to something but I can't think of it. The instrumental still has a nice groove, very unique and stand out entry. peace

Hey friend, thanks for the feedback! I was just thinking in regards to past looptrack challenges, this it was pretty much all loops... whatever works though. Incoherently coherent is okay by me. I'm kind of going for really tuning in my own vibe, so it's bound to rub some people the wrong way. Interesting it reminds you of some soundtrack, couldn't guess what that would be! I really appreciate your listen and honest opinions. Thanks much!

Hello, it's great to meet you! I've read your profile, and it seems we have some common goals. You may also be one of the few that has a similar amount of instruments... just interesting. You have no idea how huge your compliment is for me! Two of my classic favorite bands you mentioned! Seen NIN more times than I can count, and they are amazing. Thank you for your response and fave! I will be listening to something of yours in just a little bit.

Hello Pat, Still liking the sound of how the instrumental goes. Now with the vocals, Takes the listener further into this odd world. The vocals are interestingly strange, the kind of sound alerts the ears right away but I believe the delivery of this take has a strong hold into the spiv universe of irregular design. I listen through all kinds of weird and your style has something that stands alone in the current moment from what the ears have experienced. Normally you would see someone mention that the vocals might be a bit too much for the backing looped track but I like it its oddness and creative difference. It's a hard thing to lead but very easy when you find a direction that could take you down a side trail I believe. Still a fan of the instru thou. Good soup Spiv, Thanks for sharing the idea. Peace.

Hello my friend and thank you for this review with it's depth. Your experience of (and experienced opinions of) the vocals is right on the money as far as I can tell. The lead vocal is one take with no edits, done today. Tried some different effects than usual in the chain, wanted a strong analog strength to it. May have taken it too far, or it at least manipulated the genre. I take what you've written as a compliment, if that's alright? I also like your use of thou! Always love cooking, and soup something I buy processed all too often. Your ideas are well taken too! Thanks!

Nice deep pounding bass and then we're in with the vocal. This is all sounding pretty cool. It's got that cyberpunk feel to it again. The hoovers are nice although they could perhaps be a little louder. I like your crazy vocals though, I must have a go at some lyrics sometime. It's inspiring stuff.
Definitely one for the favs.

Thank you my friend for being the first to leave a comment! The bass definitely anchors the tone and groove of the song, I still can't believe how well the two loops went together. Cyberpunk, that's great! Was sort of the essence I was trying to inject here. I hear what you're saying about the hoovers, and I thank you for the suggestion. I guess I have the hoovers almost instantly begin to be overtaken by a manipulative effect, maybe I could slow it down a little. I love hoovers, but they're so overused, so I tried to give the feel of loss if you know what I mean. So happy you enjoyed the vocals! Tried some new things vocal wise this time, and I think it mostly worked out. Like DesignedImpression just said, they might be too much, who can tell this far in? The only problem is when listening in mono, the vocoder part isn't really heard. Thanks so much for the comment and fave!

I really enjoy this track. I feel as if this is a deep Moombahton with different genres within it. The bass is powerful, and the sfx go perfectly with this. This has a great moderate tempo. It's simple to listen to as well. I enjoyed this alot!

Hey buddy, thank you for the support! I hadn't really thought of moombahton, but I see what you mean. The bass was fun to tune in, and after hearing a version sped up by 29 BPM I'm glad I used something deep. I am working on a lyrical version of the song, but will probably leave this up too, as it has it's own merit. Thanks again!
