I like the drums. Minimalistic music is one of my favourites. Keep up the awesome work ;)

This is quite soundscapey in its aqpproach, definitely minimal, owes more to drumstep, than traditional drum and bass, like it and think it would be a good intro to a set... might just do it... wait for the sn 76 march mix on soundcloud where I'm gonna feature a number of looperman D and B tracks!

Sinister is the word for the bass. Nice low rumbling business that you feel as well as hear. Loving the kick and snare build up. Sometimes simplicity is very effective. I think this would work well in the chill out lounge after a drum and bass evening when people are winding down.

Some might argue that it is missing something in the beat department. But my thoughts are that it works very well as is.

Thanks much for your interesting comments! The beat is a little minimal I admit, but it worked in this case! I appreciate you listening!

not simple - minimalist, yeah but that adds to cumulative power of the music - primal, supple, and spooky goodness Patrick!!

Sounds a little monotonous and like it's missing something (but tbh this isn't really my field of genre to be leaving criticism feedback on).

Cool track! I like that pulsing rythm, it reminds me of a heartbeat or something, and the bass is great too. Niiice and grimey!
Spivkurl
Spivkurl replied 17th Feb 2012 - 13 years ago
Thanks much for the positive review! I was listening to a lot of grime when I mad this, so that's probably why it sounds grimey. Dubstep rhythms are so fun to create, I love the half time feel. I appreciate your kind words!

Nice track! I really like that groove you have goin on with the bass, really goes well with the drums and hh's. Like the choir pads, and the little vocoded parts are a nice addition too!

Great job, this would have been faved if the option was still there!!

This is very hypnotic. One could almost describe it as trance-inducing.

on What I Dont Wanna Do by Spivkurl
I can see why this is one of your fav's man :)

Being messed up on drugs aint good, been there, done that - so I can totally relate to the lyrics. really like the synth work that's gone in.. well structured and the mix is really good. Can't fault it..

Thanks for sharing man :)

To the song title: Depends on which brand you get. I'm currently circling 'round the sub-generic stuff (like a poor & desperate Vulture's tumor). Though, $40 after tax is still kinda steep (shrugs).

Moving on, I really love the globby/slidy bassline on here. And the inaudible computerized voc-sam. Though I dunno if I'd class this as D&B (in a classic sense, atleast, eh, who cares, let the purists figure it out). Its def creative, and I dig the randomness & minimalism you got goin on. Cool stuff man. Lates!

Spivkurl replied 20th Jan 2012 - 13 years ago
I'm glad you could get this song! Thanks for listening and stuff! I know it's not DnB but that's what I've seen people classifying drumstep as, so I just went with it. Not technically dubstep either. Thanks for your thoughts!

first off, love your tracks, they are always so inventive. like you always seem to take weird things that normally wouldnt belong or some kind of sound that really isnt musical and turn it into something unique.

in this case i would definitely use the word inventive. i mean its a very simple track that for the most part loops around but its not like beating a dead horse, ya know what im saying? like it doesnt get boring. it has a dark sense to it but with a piece of something brighter. which kinda makes me think the track name really goes with it.
.
cigarettes are expensive and unhealthy (dark) but coming from a smoker i can say that there's a sense of love for the habbit(brighter side) its a weird analysis i know right? XD
but in my own way it makes sense
.
anways, i like the bass, its deep, has some sub bass to it but its also got a dirty overtone that creates a really cool effect. the different sound effects really add character to it in away i could only expect from you.
.
im glad your back on looperman and i hope your here to stay because hearing your tracks is something inspirational and thats the truth!
.
much love bro and i hope to hear more

Thanks so much for your thorough review! Sorry for taking a while to respond! I'm glad you could catch the dark and light side of this track, as that was definitely the intention. I'm happy that the track didn't bore you. Thanks so much for listening and commenting!

on Minor Setback by Spivkurl
Yo Spiv...

I think you fit into ONE genre...
It's called minimalistic and you do it very well...
Your tunes are so nice to listen too...
Nice sounds and very well mixed!

Try to get a pella from Looperman... I wonder how it will sound with this tune!

Great job...

Spivkurl replied 26th Nov 2011 - 13 years ago
I never thought of it that way. I guess most of my stuff is pretty minimal. Good thought about the pella, but since I already released this song on an album I don't think I'll go back to it. I must move forward. Ha ha! Thanks for listening and reviewing!

some really good ideas brother... the pads need some work to really sparkle at the top end... maybe adding some chorus and/or panning nothing too aggressive some nice a subtle.. the bottom end also need some work... maybe cutting that kick below 70 hz and adding something in there as a sub element you know?

the atmosphere is perfect for sure.. for me I would add some extra delay on some those elements maybe even again Panning... just to add on that sonic scape you've created

the drum track is a bit repetitive but that can be fixed in a heart beat ... so I would go on about that

don't get me wrong I really enjoyed it ...it is also minimal.. loving the synth sounds in there like feedback through a broken speaker....

nice track brother...keep 'em coming
