another good one here - I always love your stuff - love the motifs - little mini melodies so to speak and of course the mixture of textures and sounds - some fading in with long attack times and some short and tight - nice work - enjoyable and makes me feel like Im in the future!!
Hey friend! Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out too. Makes you feel like you're in the future, eh? That's pretty cool to hear. Glad you liked it man! I appreciate your reviews!
Certainly different from 'Runner in the Dark' when concerning the genre, i aint to hot on trance but i would give this the right away, some nice uplifting elements, yeah positive music.cheers.
Yes, this is definitely different from my previous trance tracks. Glad you could enjoy it any way! Thanks very much for the listen and the review! Your words are very helpful!
Haha! I'm glad you could feel what I was going for on this track! It sounded like my brain when I made it too, but my brain chemistry is different now...lol! Thanks for taking the time to review!
Hey, thanks for stopping by to listen! I agree this could be filed under chill out too. I always think of chill out as lower tempo though, which is why I chose trance. Glad you enjoyed it though! I appreciate the review!
This is a creative track. It was a fun listen. I have been listening to alot of electro-pop music lately, so this was a nice audio-venture for me. I don't know if I would classify it as Trance, but it is fun. It reminds me of the soundtrack for the short animation, "I Like Pandas", only with more of a dance flare. If you haven't seen, "I Like Pandas", you can check it out on youtube. It's a cute animation.
Thanks so much for your interesting review! My trance tracks never turn out to fit comfortably in the trance genre, probably cuz I don't go into trances much lately...lol. I checked out "I like pandas" funny stuff. I like the one where they're playing with the lolipops and sticking them to eachother. Glad you liked the track though. I appreciate the listen and review!
Faved by the end of the first play, only because I remembered it was an option.
Quick history lesson - Dub is created by William S. Burroughs in the 1950's - and he'd effing love this by the way! That line alone "come over here you are no more free" is really the thesis of _Naked Lunch_. So take that you pseudoPurists!
This is sooooo jacked in My Man! Technically you've done what you need to to call it Dub (reverb and mucking with pitch, Dub's all about manipulation with certain spirit) and I'd suggest if you come back to it, maybe use some phasing and a bit o'delay to muck with the sense of time a bit. Effective Dub always messes with your head, so I'm not sure where the "too much" line is yet. Certainly this one is well under way.
I want to kiss your forehead for making this download available! I love it that much!
Hey friend! I'm really pleased that you enjoyed this one! I appreciate the history lesson too, that's an interesting tidbit of info. I hear what you mean about dub messing with your head... I just didn't want to use to much time based effects on this one. I felt that the tremolo and reverb were just enough to take it into head messing territory. Thanks very much for faving and downloading! Your words are very much appreciated, especially since you have such an understanding of dub.
I love it...
Very old-school house...
I love it.
Shieet man, this track won't go LOUD ENOUGH! lol
I love your style man.
You always know how to create these amazing landscapes of sound that are so ambiguous.
It's fukking awesome.
How you been man?
Hey friend, good to hear from you! Old school house eh? My trance tracks always seem to border on the side of house...I guess there's nothing wrong with that though! Your kind words are really appreciated, and they help raise my opinion of my recent work. Thanks so much!
You asked how I've been... I'm doing okay. Just been getting some work and painting done on an apartment so I can get it rented out. Need that rent money or I'll be broke real soon...LOL! Thanks for asking! Hope all is well for you too!
Hi,
I love so much much the way you're using organs:i even think you're the one who made me really enjoy this instrument.Very happy and "spinning" track I add to my favs
Cheers
French Kid
Hey friend! I'm glad I could get you into organs, they're such a classic instrument, especially when compared to other electronic instruments. "Spinning", that's a good way to describe this track! Thanks very much for the kind review and the fave!
This has a great industrial feel to it, it sounds like music made for robots I like it. If I would have heard this somewhere else I would known it was you, you have a unique artistic flair.
Hey thanks for stopping by to listen! Definitely has an industrial edge to it doesn't it. I wish I had some robots to play the song for! I'm happy that you enjoyed this one and recognized it as a signature track. Thanks for your kind words!
A big smile came to my face at about 18 seconds when the first synth came in!! Sure is different but I like it! Happy, bouncy little beat, nice track Spiv!
Hey, glad I could make you smile with this one! Yes, definitely different. Happy and bouncy, I'd have to agree. Thanks much for returning the favour of a review! Take care friend!
Yep, I don't really arrange things in a traditional manner, which is part of why my stuff doesn't fit the normal genres. Not sure what my style is either, but I'm very pleased you could get into this track! Thanks very much for your reviews!
all thru out the song i was waiting for the "how i wonder what u are" part. u know, because the song was always playing to me in my head "twinkle twinkle little star"
def experimental man. no further words i say, let's keep experimenting.
I see what you mean about the "how i wonder what you are" part, as this song is somewhat lacking in a resolution. If I were to change anything that would be it...I just suck so much at playing guitar it would be a challenge. Glad you could get into this track though. Thanks for the listen and review!
I know this guy! The Merchant Honest Abe and his Entheogenic Emporium. Here in the freefall market of Anak Brunei's Obsidian Palace you can find the purist Clarity within 200,000 miles.
The tuning is really strange, but like most unfamiliars you get used to it quickly. By the 3rd play makes sense. The 4th for me got the favorite, and I get it.
I think next to aforementioned "Clarity" this is my favorite track of yours.
Heh, any merchant with an entheogenic emporium sounds good to me! This title was actually referring to wine merchants, as I was craving wine big time when I started this song. More specifically what I had in mind was the wine merchant in the episode of The Avengers titled "the secrets broker", and wishing I could buy my wine from him.
I'm glad you could get used to the tuning of this track! For some reason modal keys are what I use most often when playing guitar, it seems to connect the ancient with the modern to my ears.
Thanks very much for the fave and the entertaining review! Also thank you for referring to "Clarity", it's nice to have a song remembered!
gotta start by saying I'm not a big fan of trance far too happy for my tastes... for me the whole track seems a bit sparse maybe it needs some kinda heavier pad underneath it... because what you've got there at the moment doesn't seem to be covering.. the over all production is nice but needs a little tweaking here and there which I suspect you know that already being as good as you are my friend.. keep 'em coming brother
I see what you mean, definitely. The track being sparse was for the most part intentional. I will take your comments under advisement if I go back and rework this track. I appreciate the honest feedback!
nice melodies man
beat seems a little weak (comparing it to major artists - the only way to get a good feel as to where you're at) maybe compress it, I really don't know how to make a good trace beat so maybe listening to me isn't such a good idea lol
sounds good though - almost reminded me of Barbie Girl - way back in the day lol
Keep it up
STeve
Haha, Barbie Girl! I remember that track! Funny that this reminds you of that! I can see what you mean about the beat, I'm still learning how to make a hot trance beat. Thanks for the helpful and entertaining review, it's much appreciated!
Stranger lol, mate what a cool track, I think the slight off key affect works brilliantly in this great piece of work, as the Spiv touch and sound about it, man you have a great style that you have built up in the time I have been here on this great site, so enjoy listening to your works man, so diff then whats on the site, but soooooooo good, love it all. instant fav from you my friend...Peace Spiv...Estefano...
Hello friend! It makes me really happy that you liked this one enough to fave it! It's been slow to get reviews on this track, so I though maybe it was no good! Your reviews always help me feel better about things though! This one was really fun and challenging to create, so it's good to get some feedback! Thank you very much for taking time out to listen and review!
Hey thanks for checking out some of my older work! I agree it's weird, but I'm glad you found it engrossing, I think that's a good word for it. Happy you liked it, and thankful for the review!
Quite a bouncy track with a funny melody running throughout. Very Europoean in style with some catchy hooks. Nice progression when the pads kick in. ;) --Davey--
Hey, thank you for returning the favour of a review! European style eh? That's cool! I'm glad you liked the pads too, I think that's one of the strong points of this track. Thanks very much for your comments!
Awesome, I'm so glad you liked this one! I was unsure whether this one was good or not, but you've helped me feel better about it. I get into your tracks as well! Thanks very much for the review!
Hey Spivkurl....i think you nailed this one the contrast between that awesome sounding bass and that oh so catchy high synth make this a winner
well done
