A real different and unique version of dub. Like it a lot!
The whole "genre" thing is a bit overblown in my opinion. Crossing boundries in music is what excites me about it. It's a reason I like bands like the Clash because their origination of ideas is what set them apart and made them special to me. Do I really want to hear the same beat and bass in every dub song or reggea song or hip hop or......No, not at all. Your song is different and that is very cool.
Hey friend, thank you for the insightful review! I think the main thing that sets this apart from other dub is that I don't really know what I'm doing, hehe.
I like the clash for some of the same reasons, they really went out on a limb sometimes.
I appreciate your helpful comments, thank you much!
My wife doesn't fully appreciatethis kind of music. She prefers choral work. She knows music I know what I like, Ilike this. It's what Istrive for. Cool track, spiv
Vic
master, you are bad, bad as in wicked, wicked as in good! you are def one of my fav now. The idea behind the beat was completely brought to life (charging effect of coffee). The rhythmic distortion is superb. The drums/bassline/synth became one. it is my the target someday to go out of the comfort zone and put together a beat like this. keep it up, friend.
Hello again friend! You've made me feel good about myself with this review! Coffee is something I feel strongly about, and I guess that shows through in this track. I'm glad you like the rhythmic distortion, as I was a bit worried that it killed the dynamics, though I do like the sound/feel of it as is. Thank you much for the listen and the review!
this beat is tight, well mastered, very professional. i like the movement of the synth/melody. it will move the party floor any day! good one my friend.
Hey, thank you very much! It's nice to get so much good feedback on this one, makes me think I won't need to update this one. I'm happy that you think this one has good party potential! Thanks for stopping by!
hey can get what you are getting at with this track, about things that are in your head, first ever relationship broke down as partner had Bi Polar(I did not end it), the games and talking inside the head,I think that is what I felt you have gotten into this track, on the comment of another synth, personally from my experience, my partner hated change, everything had to stay same, that is why I think that you have gotten this track right my friend...
I'm glad you can understand where I'm coming from with this track, it sounds like your personal experiences help clarify it for you. There are often so many conflicting circumstances internally, it's a great place to get inspiration from though.
How cool is this song? Let me count the ways.....no wait....there are too many. I love the spacey sound...and tell your wife she has a terrific voice. You took the lyrics from some magazines? "Please check the light in the refrigerator door. It's the only way I'll find my way home." It's fantastic. I love it. -Ken
I'll let my wife know you like her words. Not from magazines exactly, but from personal zines that my wife writes and publishes. She has a lot of talent for writing.
Hey, thanks for taking the time to listen! It's really good to get so much feedback on this track. Your comments make me very happy, I'm very glad you liked the song! Take care, friend!
Hey man?
Will you do me a favor?
Make a BUNCH
I mean
like 10 send channels
and make them all delay and reverb,
and then experiment ?
all right man
LOVE IT
I love this.
It's epic.
It makes me feel like I am crawling out of my skin but in a lovely way.. if .. that.... makes...... any.... sense.......
I know this is older..
I hope you are holdin' up well man.
Keep it up!
That sounds like a fun experiment with the sends at all, there's just one problem... When my motherboard died I had to take a drop in performance and memory. This makes it so adding a lot of fx makes it so I can't hear my song without major glitching. It's a bit frustrating, but I like a raw sound anyway...heh.
Otherwise I'm very happy that you liked this one. "crawling out of my skin but in a lovely way", that's so cool, and interesting to hear!
This isn't too old, still my most recent finished track.
I am holding up well, thank you. You're interesting reviews always cheer me up. Thank you for the helpful words!
great track - tight mix - nice mixture of sounds - and I really appreciate the use of "short sounds" (i always go right for the long and lush stuff and forget to mix in some short stuff- so thanx for the inspiration. Nice progressions and nice work on the drums and stops too.
Hey friend, thanks for getting me back on a review!
Yes, I'm very partial to short sounds. for some reason I can't master the lush flowing sounds that are so common to trance. I just do my best with what I can do.
I appreciate the specifics in your review, it's nice to get such helpful feedback. Thanks for listening!
great track.lovin the bassline..a great focal aspect which keeps the 'story' flowin. the only thing i could suggest is possibly some sort of deep pads in the background, however it is fantastic as it stands ;]
g
Hey thanks for, stoppin by to check out my tracks!
I'm very happy with the bass line on this one too, glad you liked it.
The reason I didn't go with much in the way of pads, was to keep the focus on the melodies. I felt they deserved a big part of the mix. If I go back and work on this some more, I'll keep your suggestion in mind though.
Caught this on the feature box thought i'd give it a listen glad i did, very raw, like to see what is in that toy box of yours lol
keep doing what you do best, inspiring, peace.
Hey friend, I'm glad you found this one! I kept it featured for a reason, as it's one of my faves. There is a picture of the toy I got these sounds from in my gallery.
Thank you very much for listening and for the kind review!
Very pop sounding, happy beat, made me feel good after listening to it. Sounds like music you would hear in an upbeat commercial for some high tech gadget or computer. Very well put together Spivkurl!
I'm glad I could send out some good feelings with this one, it makes me smile to listen to it.
It would be so fun to make music for commercials, as there would be so much creative freedom. I take it as a compliment that you think this track would work for a commercial.
Thank you for listening and leaving a kind review!
Brilliant track once again and your wifes vocals are awesome, very sweet angelic voice, so gorgeous her voice, plz do more with her vocals or at least plzplz post some here for us to use...
Hey thanks for checking out this track too! It's really good to get feedback on this one, because my wife isn't to pleased with her vocals. I'll let her know that someone else liked it too.
She seemed willing to lay down some more vocals sometime for me to use, so maybe I'll have to take her up on the offer. It would be cool to upload some as a pella, and see what others can do with it.
I really appreciate all of your glowing reviews, and the faves! I'll try and find some more of your tracks to listen to, I owe you one!
Not heard much Dub but sir if this is what it is like I think I might be trying to find somemore to play, you are a genius mate, like the whole feel about this track also love ya vocals, so coooool, again thank you for your brilliant pieces of work, give us others a goal to try and acheive, excellent...
2 track I have come in to play of yours man, you have one BIG FAN here, so love this track, dont know if I need a coffee or something to calm me down, this is so professional this track, hope you are so proud of it mate, if it was my track would be so over the moon with it, maybe one day I might get close to doing a master piece like this, you are a brilliant artist..I have about 5 fav artist here now I can make that 6, so need to have something to calm down now, keep up the brillianr work man...keep it coming plz plz...
I'm fairly proud of this track, other than my having messed up the dynamics a little bit with distortion and the like. But it still works good with the theme of the track I guess.
It sounds like listening to this was like drinking some coffee for you, so that sounds like a success. :)
Your kind words make me blush in a way, you make me think better of my work. I appreciate it very much, and thank you for another fave!
As promised in to check out your tunes, first one played and I am so in love with it, so beautiful plucky synths, wow been looking forward to getting in to check out your work, and man you have not dissapointed here, so looking forward to checking out some others of yours now, brilliant track, adding to fav's for sure, woooowww excellent
Hey friend, I appreciate you checking out so many of my tracks! I'm very happy with the plucky synth melodies on this one as well, they just fell right into place. Your reviews brighten my day, and it makes me happy you faved this one! Thank you much!
I like this one Spiv. It's interesting and unusual. Not a traditional Trance (with sweeping synths) or Techno with a pounding beat but it's very melodic and yes I would say Techno/Trance. If you wanted to go that way you could make it more tradional I think but I actually like it as is. A breath of fresh air I would say.
Thanks friend, I'm glad you liked it! I was really trying to go with a sound where techno and trance fused comfortably, I think it works pretty well this way. I appreciate your kind words and helpful review!
Cool happy trance here Spiv, I don't think I've ever smiled more when listening to a track as I did with this one. Has such as nice feeling. The bending and plucky-styled synths are what made me smile. Nice work my friend.
Heh, just one espresso?! The energy of pressurized steam, yeah that's cool, I can definitely hear that! I appreciate you listening and reviewing! Thanks!

I think my style of dub is a little non traditional, judging by the reviews I've gotten. But I think it's still the best genre for the track.
