what a speechless artwork this is...oh dear stg...:-)
I'm envious ... I've always admired those who have been able to do wonders with a piece of instrument ... it's like talking about the fallen leaves of late autumn as we prepare for the cold winter ...
so I feel ... awesome pice ...

fistbump, Danke

Michel, i do appreciate your keen ears! i wish we could opt out of genre sometimes — it can be a hindrance to the maker and cause cognitive dissonance for the listener. you know?

Smooth, introspective and psychedelic. Goes very well with the photos. Thanks for getting me to look up babak tafreshi. Those pictures are mindblowing! :D

Hello brother x,

After a long day this track here is the ultimate sublime! & calming sound i need to hear. This is so, so, *B*E*A*U*T*I*F*U*L* I am in awe at the wonderful! sound/purity of this little gem here.

This production is truly created with something more than just heart and soul, it has so much more substance. Some elements of this track Kind of reminded me a little of the band called "The Clientele" for some reason but all I know is that this track is a real tranquil cure! for the soul. Sweet! music to my ears. LOVE This!...
STANDING! O...BRAVO!!

Feels like I'm watching Endless Summer, that old surf movie. The sun is setting over the water, surfboard is in the sand next to me, hanging with my buds and chillin'.

Definitely shadowy! Nice work! I love the hi-hats on opposite sides of the stereo field, makes it seem even more shadow-like.

You're just hanging on to letting go, he. I dig the vocals man, delivered with the right amount of breath, emotion and heart that fits the feel of the production as a whole. What's not to like here. Cool vocals and well produced sounds to support them.

TomTom Club meets thethe? To me it has a blend of those two band's influences. I dig it man!

hello Wayne! by this time, bud, you gotta count your own bad self as one of my influences! honest, i thought of what you’ve said recently of the joy in making a track in a short amount of time. i scribbled around w the words all day on and off and found a few beats i thought married well. was gonna try and sit down the next day with the aco to work something but couldnt leave it overnight and i had this mochajones loop i didnt know what to do with. it was awful late and i waspretty ragged when i did the vox but it ended up suiting the track.
thank you, bro, for listening and thank you for being the instigational kinda guy you are.

I immediately faved this track purely for the background loop to begin with :D.

as for the vocals, its perfect calmly and menacing at the same time like the vocalist from The Cure - Lullaby

Thank you for making this! :)

Cheers!

I'm not sure about Davie Bowie or Ric Ocasek. I think I heard the ghost of Lou Reed on this track. I really liked the sound. Vocals worked perfectly in the track. Great "attitude" in the vocal delivery. If you ever would consider a collab, I have unfinished tracks that were meant for a voice like yours.

hey eric! i said to my compadre cyberflares recently that having a mic in front in me was like having a gun pointed at my face. that being said, it’s nice what you said about lou — he did have a way to make being flat and affectless emotive somehow. i admire what i’ve heard of yours checking thru yr page, esp your vocal tracks. well hey man i dig collab its always no harm no foul with me bro drop me a line. regardless, thanks sincerely for your listen!

the beginning slaps me lmao. even i 'll prefer a build up. everything fit well and I actually love the way the vocal sound.I wasn't expected it to end like that. quick beginning and quick ending. Good job.

what a brilliant song this is...David Bowie from my view in feeling and that groovy is fantastic...this is a coolm lounge kinda song so I believe that this is lo-fi, but only because you wrote :-)
anyway, you know that it's not important...
bro, it's one of your best (if not the best) I've ever heard from you...
thanx for the upload, and thanx for letting us dl it...
standing ovation, Danke
