From reading your replies I can see what the song means to you. Don't get me started, lol. It's a neat track, reminds me of stuff U2 did about 1/3 into their career, Zooropa/Lemon era. I have absolutely no idea what makes this trip hop but who cares, it's a neat piece of music.

Sorry to hear about your suitcase. I just adopted the neighborhood cat that 4 different people have just left water and food outside for her her whole life, ~ 6 years old. They move away and the next person starts feeding her. I started petting her and she was so lovable and underfed. And when my neighbor couldn't get the cat in a cat carrier when she moved, she asked me to feed and water her. Well by then I was already feeding her and she was sleeping on my bed every night, he. Awesome, most sweetest grey tiger cat! All she wanted was to be someone's pet.

There is still goodness out there, even if in small kitty sized amounts. Don't lose the faith brother. :)

Dope! True trip hop! A little short coming from you though nice work X

bit harsh from 0-35 and 1-02 but the usual creativity will save this fluff too... :-)

Danke

"Don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows indeed..." Your track embodies a mysterious, maybe even ominous feel about it in which perhaps you are trying to convey your message. In which case message received, I also like the fact (much like myself) that you've chosen the "say what you gotta say musical and don't prolong the song unnecessarily" if it is not needed approach.

Great job and fav,

Dennel

i felt the storm approach it was menacing then it kicked in after 35 secs and stayed pretty menacing, nice female vocal ad-libs they are tasty short and sweet nice work bro, i sure know which way the wind blows

Hey Michael.
Im not much on LM but sometimes i didd take a look but i diddnt see your track before till now.
Ok here i am to listen to this so xstokes track.
Great sounds in it.
Its psychedelic but i feel this track can be used for a undersea documentary.It also have something peaceful

Hi Mike,
The track is psychedelic in the truest sense, but could also be classified as ambient. Some productions in this genre feel like they're too rational, but this one sounds really organic and lived-in. Your great musicality shines through here and takes you into it. It's great how you designed these rooms. There's something electrifying in there that reminds me a little of Brian Eno. I've heard this several times now and it actually gets more interesting each time. Very, very nice work..
Greetings from the hangar,

Mr creative, is on fire, now i know you have had health issues but these are now coming thick and fast you dont have an issue with 'Charlie' do you. no sleep for the wicked :)) or is coffee your flavour these days. i agree this is more melancholic, nice guitar and synth work drums are clever different timing love that shaker rattle snake again bro you bring a creative flare that is unrivalled Mike and love having you round lots

Beautiful, ambient melancholia. This has a gentleness to it, not savage as these experimental pieces of yours sometimes are.

I like the changes and timing experimentation. Interesting mix of sound choices as well.

Almost expected to hear some Pet Shop Boy's vocals on it. Don't know why but I do, ha! To me it has the mid 90's alt rock feel to it, The The, Tom Tom Club....

Wayne

everything is relative ... what do we call dance music??? :-) I don't think so this is orthodox dance ... this is stokes's dance ... fantastic ambient in my opinion, with enormous groovy and atmosphere ...
huge onee ...
fistbump,
Danke

bro im on that yacht and Coru is with me we both letting the music direct us were we end up is anybody's guess, as long as its away from the impending WW3.
beautiful music that took me away from all the hurt for a minute and a half.x3
i did think tho, were's Mr quirky, and then ah there he is, ya didn't disappoint, love the percs the hat and crashes little elements dropping, ive missed you mate hope we see you more frequently with these dynamics

My favourite bit is around 0:35 with a great beat; after 1:05 or so the compression and distortion is a bit much for me though. The bit around 1:50 is very good (and a relief ;) )
Interesting track!

Trippy. Like the ending. I haven't been checking in much but whenever I do I seem to stumble across one of yours. I'm not stalking you I promise lol. Hope you're good bro.

Agree with CCC that there's a lot going on; most of it is a feast for the ears and I assume you did the distortion on purpose. Super interesting stuff!

What's up X I wasn't really feeling that distorted part but then I don't really know this genre so maybe it does go with it but I was feeling after 1.30 I guess that's just more more of my cup of tea but good job man you put a lot into this it was really digging the beatbox too

Cool, urban sound drums. Neat stuff going on, I listened closely. You put out some interesting material, I must say, again.

My weather lately has been more like heavy metal.

Wayne

Love the unorthodox drums!

I tried, I don't know how good it is?)

It's great, like you're flying inside a tunnel

You mad bugger. The way you said everything is going to be all right made me think it probably wouldn't... Then I couldn't quite make out most of the rest unfortunately. But I think it was a positive message. Need the lyrics!

Hi Michael.
I love the intro and im so suprised what is coming after that.
Great mix of calm and wild together.

You know how to do it player. The ending made me want more. Classic x in my opinion. Acoustic piano set the tone of this track perfectly. Drum loop put the icing on the cake, and OfCourse the ending teased me, so I gess I have to listen again. Another good one. PEACE. T576 OUT.

gorgeous opening key loop bro, its very busy after that till 1.50 :))) then the gorgeous comes back, thats why i love ya bro, your wild x
