I like it! I like the jazz dance funk psychedelic track u have here the beginning was righteous!

interesting sound

Hey Mike - just back from travels ... this one has some pointers to the animal collective to these old ears but lots of gorgeous jazz square wheel ambiance - a beautiful sonic trip.
Free sound sure is an endless draw of interesting things but I havent mastered how to craft with it yet - spent ages listening the sounds made on the Prague metro (I lived there once). Hope you are doing well

Hi Mr Stokes. I've used Freesound too, tho generally for sound fx. I'll have to delve deeper I can see. This is like a twisted version of something Helios might have done. And man I love a double bass.

Waiting for the sun, great Doors album. But I think they are all pretty awesome.

As I listen it has a nice, positive feel to it. Cool changes and nice instrumentation. Some serious low end happening!!

I'm gonna take my Spanish Caravan down to Love Street now, running late, it's Five to One. he!

Take care, keep having musical fun!

What's up X dope track it has a cinematic feel to it I really like the part after the 3 minute mark when you switched it to trip hop that was pretty dope and cool creative man

this is class work bro, it has sombre chillout feel, things are happening, slowly building, i thought the sun was going to shine through, it didn't, it wasn't supposed to, that bass kept the vibe low, one word in the description, waiting explains perfectly, seeing the transitions you expect it to shine at some stage, there is a couple of little glimmers of penetrating light, you're not selling the sun, this is the calm before the full show is cast with your psychedelic charm added, you captured it Mike, another great production mate

yo Michael!! thats a long time ago.
So you are waiting for the sun?
Come to visit me...enough sun here this period.
This is a real xstokes psychedelic work.
You put every sound his place .
I love that part from 3:20

I like what you did with the glitches for the intro to represent that life is a movie cool! Very dope intro man acid sounds yea! Cool trip homie I like it. The switch up is brilliant

As a Chinese, this is considered cool enough, which is in accord with my imagination toward life. Scientific and interesting.

faved XDDDDDD

Nice work Michael.
I love what you didd at 2.22 and and so on.
So cool this track.

The description sums it up perfectly! Maybe it's really just a movie! You feel like you're in a parallel world. You are in a completely different world. An oppressive world full of secrets and dangers. Actually, one wishes that everything was just a film, a dream from which one simply wakes up and the feeling of security has one back. Very well done, great musical story! Mix and Master extraordinarily good! Greetings Manuela

waka waka, i really like the title and i wished that winnie the poh just sending ballons not a honey pot. your intro feels like a journey into someones mind. it describes when i get into my psych mode and thoughts burst out like a sun eruption and i lose controll and can just watch things happen. the mix is awsome i dont know what yu doing with all thesee frequencies but they never compete with each other. this is a great track and im just screaming to it. great electricty feeling.

Original lovely glitchy warm analogue synthetic start evolving into a real punk prog rock banger before falling like a popped balloon into the psychedelic ocean - I love it. I hope I can make a track this good someday : )

nice inspiration on this track, i love the guitars! great job!
Michael

That's a fascinating track man. The intro is long, very long, but I get the track needs it and then when you get to 2:00 the release is great, and then you get into the guitar solos.
And the outro is just as weird. Really, really good track. Kudos.

Sounds like memories from far away and the words come from a glass bottle, the bottom of it. I would have liked to hear more cleary the words and less effects. Maybe next time, what do you say? Sorry, my English is soooo sooo rusty. Glad to see you are o.k. :)

I don't know how to express myself very well, but you have excellent taste in music.

That i didd miss this...beautifull!!!!so sad but so beautifull and that voice is perfect in it.
And when it starts from 1:25 just perfect.
I think this is my favorite Michael!!
Im glad you told me that i didd miss some of your tracks

It's a dream I'm sure. The horses refs made me think of this sparklehorse track https://youtu.be/QnRzUn-Nseg

I couldn't resist and picked up a video sequence, I don't know how much it coincides with the idea of the music

Hey my dear Mike.
What an asperation my friend.
Your creativity and skill are untouchable and people like myself should only be playing in the Park.
Well done my dear friend.

Have you ever seen the Mickey Rourke movie Barfly? What a trip. Your use of that word instantly reminded me of a few classic lines in that flick that made me laugh.

Interesting as usual. Dark, sets a mood of despair, deep despair. Well done! Hope you are doing well after listening....he!

Take care!

bro my heart is touched what an intro, this is music from the heavens, im just sat in tranquillity with my eyes closed, big joint though :))

Gorgeous dreamy start (reminding me a little of the microphones in tone and mood ... I guess horseshead reminds me of elvrum headless horseman track) but here Im drifting in a tone cathedral ... the beat of the drum loop promises something but it seems I was dreaming and Ive woken now, or was I awake and now fallen vert deeply asleep, either way I want to go back to where I was but cant seem to remember where I was.
Great stuff - It would be nice to build on this and twist, deconstruct and reprise the theme and elements. Aspirational indeed.
