what a wonderful track too bad it isn't free download. you should see what you would get back if you let someone remix this. other than that this is one funky track.
Very funky, well played and nicely recorded. Great bass lines, cool whawha guitar and fills and some keys that tie it all together. Great track, mix sounds great on my headphone, a pleasure to listen to!
Are you playing that bass guitar? Fine, strong funky playing with a very powerful tone and some higher pops.
Conga (?) percussion is good but around 1:29 I thought drums would kick into a fatter beat. Maybe it's lacking a bigger kick drum, not quite sure.
This is indeed both funky and infectious. I was disappointed with the sudden end. It should either fade out much slower or just have a proper, definitive end (so, no fade).
But, overall, it's well produced and the instruments all slot well together.
this is very good: I like the congas that sound here almost like the 'talking drums'.... NIce tone of the recording - it is really well produced.... And of course very funky and stylistically played guitars... Smooth rhodes and phased clavinet... Simply good music. I had a great time listening to this!

Wow I am star dazed, this is really great. I like the guitar panning. My only thing is to me it ended and now I have to replay it again.:) Outstanding job. Peace.
Wow mate superchill!! Is that Eshar's golden tones at the beginning?
This is so laid back and a joy to listen to! its a shame its only 2 mins long!! I think you should have made it at least 5!! This is wonderful. You cant beat a Rhodes for chill out. and a bit of funky wah giutar!! Beautiful.
Eshar it is! The Rhodes is one of the greatest instruments ever invented. Rivals the electric guitar in innovations that have changed the world. Someday I might expand this track. It should have been longer.
Thanks for listening and commenting. Yeah it is a bit tiresome after about 10 seconds. Not gonna win an Emmy with it for sure. I was channeling a 1976 Univox String Machine and once you get that sound going it's hard to stop. If I felt it was worth it I'd go back in and tighten the mix up. It is what it is. Thanks for listening.
Really cool track. Has that 70s vibe to it. Yeah, I've used Eshar's loops before and I do love them, but the quality always bugged me. All and all...Good job.
Thanks for listening and taking the time to comment. I know what your talking about with the recording quality of Eshar's loops but that may be the thing that draws me to them. When I hear that loop I think it's beautiful. Here's another track I made with an Eshar loop. Check it out: http://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/35189
Thanks again.
This is spectacular work. Only found it because I saw other comments on it and was curious.
Some of the best hip hop on here. Can't explain why but bass and drums remind a little of Seal and Adamski's classic song Killer. Maybe similar bass synth sound.
Such a tight low end though there's lot of space left for the high cool leads. Guitar is a good touch.
1:27 vocal that leaps out is almost a bit scary as it jumps out at you.
Melodic laidback piano that's a bit of an oddity for this genre.
Really high talking lead is great fun as is the whistling lead.
2:35 vocal is some sort of reggaeton vocal so another sort of genre. Lots are mixed up in this so well done.
And a classy fadeout. Nice and long! So many people make them way too short.
I really liked this one, Badhuman! I think you should consider re-visiting it and rebuilding it. There has clearly been a lot of progression in your tracks over the years. The foundation of this one (bass and drums) is great and worthy of an update I think. I'd certainly like to hear it. Again, I'm relative newcomer to Looperman compared to you, but I don't know how I missed your stuff until now. Very glad I found you, though.
Thanks Eric. This is a very personal song about going to war against enemies real and imagined and burning there homes down. I was in great mental anguish around the time of this song and medicated myself with the production of this song. To complicated and painful to go into at this time. But every time I listen to it I hear the sound of victory.
VERY FUNKY!!!! This was great! Would you be willing to explain a bit about how you did this track? This definitely has a "live" feel to it, and I saw from your profile that you play a variety of instruments, so I'm assuming you played most or all of it? I've got a decent library of horns plugins, but I can't get them to sound like that.
Pass around a bottle of Old Grand Dad. Layer the trumpet and sax guys so they sound big. Think early Bootsy, James Brown era and play the bass real dry. Pass it off to pound for pound the best drummer in the world Fred Garvin. Steve Miller puts in just enough guitar, drank most of the Old Grand Dad. Steal the sample at the end of one of Morris Day's track. Wham Bam Thank You Mam. I might have some multi Band Compression on the horns and some drum room reverb. I try and keep it simple to make it funky.
I'm gonna try and get around to uploading some loops and samples soon.
I agree the extra noise on the pella does add interesting character and I thought it blends with this type of quality instrumental. The layering is a cool part of this track. The guitars make it a chill and how its played pulls curiosity in like a distraction scene. Nice man, thanks.
Thank you for listening and taking the time to comment.
The noise on the vocal spoke to my soul.
The "high metallic noise" is called a Triangle. Fun to play and can be found in most good percussionists arsenal. Back that treble down or somebody could get hurt. :)
The final wah note...eh, up for interpretation. I was using it to kinda put the brakes on and keep continuity with it's other appearances in the song.
That's who it was. I couldn't remember. Eshar's loop at the beginning. I used one other of Eshar's on a track I did called "Little Jag" People complain about the noise on Eshar's pellas but on certain tracks the lack of quality lends itself to the character of the track. I kinda dig how messed up it is.

String holding at 1:09 is a bit tiresome after about 10 seconds, then holds for another 40.
I don't mind the high end hiss, noticed but not minded. Mostly just that held note that could have been an underlying second melody.
Likey

Shame about all that noise on the vocal. Wish you could remove that using EQ or specific noise removal software.
Damn solid bass tone and a busy bassline you have here.
Some classic electric piano parts. Very much a modern r'n'b drum kit.
0:49 your high metallic noise is kind of cool but a bit too loud and sharp and piercing. Just needs to be toned down.
1:08 break is good with that held strings note.
1:28 guitar return is funky.
This isn't my kind of thing but it's all well done. Final wah note ending is fun but it cuts off too soon. Maybe you can let it ring out a bit?
