Hello Zootman, my last attempt in posting comment got interrupted....sorry. But I wanted to say this is a stellar track in my opinion. The mixing and mastering is quite good....love the guitar work and effects are great. You've put together a very nice piece of work my friend

Thanks, I had fun laying this one down, which is always good. Bought a new guitar recently, which has also been a good thing. Nothing really wrong with the old one, but sometimes you just want/need something...

Hey, Zoot! I don't know what your music tastes are or who inspires you, but this track has so many vibes going on, from the legendary 70s band WAR to Isaac Hayes and even INXS. The composition is fantastic, the vocals are on point, and the production is top-notch. The fadeout is just right, and I'm really glad you decided to conclude the song in that manner. Great job, Zoot!

LovePeace&Light,

Mykael

Hi Mykael, thanks for listening and taking the time to comment. I'm glad you enjoyed this one. I listen to a wide range of music! I can find something to like in most things from Hank Williams to...I don't know, just about everything lol. I'm a little familar with WAR, just listened to some Isaac Hayes.....pretty legendary. And yes, an earlier mix had an ending as such, but I realised the good old fade out was the way to go for this one. Cheers Chris.

Sounds great - I have that same black box plugin - I got the 2ms version (upgraded from what was a free version) but it has some nice presets

Thanks Ian, yeah I paid for my one (on special of course). Hope you had a good break and New Year etc. Pretty quiet over here, though we did actually see the new year in for what must be the first time in a while...

I agree with BaoBou - this is outstanding - professional without cliches and falling into a typical commercial pattern. Your voice on here? I love it - it reminds me of Michael Hutchence from IN-XS. Kay0s/VT Nights love to mix things up, too, so we can totally relate to the ecclectic nature of this wonderful track. You aced it, my friend. Kay

Zootman replied 2nd Jan 2025 - 1 year ago
Hi Kay, thanks so much. I love your thoughts on this. I was pretty happy with the production. I recently bought a saturation plug in (Black Box Analog Design HG-2) which I put on the master. I think it works pretty well. Michael H?? Interesting, because Angelseux said the same thing back in the day. I'm not sure I hear it, but I'll take it, cause he had a great voice!!

You've got me hooked right away. I think you've outdone yourself!! This is a fantastic start to the new year - everything is crisp and clear and exciting and new and different - the vocal coming in at exactly the right time and loudness. This feels very pro and radio-ready! No idea if you had a plan to bring this out on Spotify or something but I think it would need only very minor tweaks!
Zootman
Zootman replied 2nd Jan 2025 - 1 year ago
As you can hear, I don't know what I want or need, and if I get either, I'm not sure I want to give it away lol. Anyway, thanks so much. I'm very glad you enjoyed it. l did some minor edits on the vocal arrangement and synth and guitars at the back end of it, not that you'd probably notice on another casual listen. This is the only place I put my music by the way. I don't see the point in putting it on Spotify or anywhere else, they're just a black hole unless you're Taylor Swift.

It feels like one of those instrumentals that works perfectly without any vocals; it stands out on its own.

Nice easy going track with rich harmonies coming out of the guitars. Your vocals are very well put in the song and all together it is a very pleasant hearing. My only wish is about your ending, possibly a simple fading would do just fine.
My best regards, Antony
Zootman
Zootman replied 24th Nov 2024 - 1 year ago
Thanks Anthony, funnily enough the end had been bugging me too, so I took your advice and just gave it a pretty slow fade. Cheers Chris

Hey man, this is my 1st time commenting, Im Aaron's (Pnnywze) brother, Jared (Im Vizzio in the Monzder Squadd) and Im gonna take over uploads for our group, for the most part. It kinds ##### that u only get a little bit of space for uploads, but just from what my brother has shown me, its worth dealing with to be part of the community. Ive heard this one a few times via Pnnywze, he introduced me to some music from a couple people, but i cant wait to hear more of your stuff, for sure. This was creative as hell man. Love it.

Hi Jared, nice to hear from you. I enjoyed the track I heard from you guys the other day, can't remember the title....but I'll be sure to tune in for more whenever I'm on LM in the future. Anyway, thanks for touching base and listening to some of my stuff. Catch you soon, Chris

Listening to this while on a bus, luckily for me, by the window side.
I love the snare! The vocals are so well curated, and I love the calmness in your voice.

Hi, you know, the melody and lyrics literally came to me in a dream. I woke up and scrawled them down, such as they are.
