This was a great listen, love that raw upfront guitar.
Pseudoble vocals sounds great on this.

Great job on the track.

Hi there, thanks man. I generally listen to your tracks on this site, but don't comment very often, mainly because often they are in genres I don't listen to much as a rule, or know much about. But I respect and hear the quality of what you do regardless. Anyway, that said, thanks a lot for the listen and comment, always appreciated.

A collab between 2 of my favs on looperman? Count me in. This has an almost grungy feel to it, something i dont hear in music often these days. Exeptional song.

Hey there, thanks man. Yes I love pseodobles work too. It always surprises me that he doesn't get more kudos. I think he should. Thanks for listening and commenting bro.

Un très beau morceau, il n'y a rien à redire, c'est parfait.

Thank you very much. I was mostly satisfied with how it turned out, feel the vocal could be better, one day.... Have a good day over there on the continent...

What an incredible piece of music here ... maaaan, this is more than awesome ... that psychedelic flight is dreamy ... vocal is bloody brilliant as the humble music ... really one of the best track in Looperman's history ... all my hats off ...
Danke

Zootman replied 9th May 2023 - 2 years ago
Greetings Danke, muchos gracias for your amazing comment. I was genuinely 50/50 on whether this one was good, bad or indifferent. I hoped it was good obviously, but it is so good to get some affirmation from yourself who I have great respect for as a musician and human being. There were two main inspirations. One was your use of alternate tunings (this is in double drop D) - in all the years I've been playing guitar I'd never tried this. The other inspiration for the guitar at least, was Nick Caves track Higgs Boson Blues. I loved the minimal but evolving guitar that underpins that track.

This is awesome! The vox sit nicely over the instrumental. It probably helps that im a bit high. lol
Zootman
Zootman replied 8th May 2023 - 2 years ago
Ha ha yes, I'm starting to realise that sometimes being high doesn't work cause everything sounds wicked. Can be good inspiration though sometimes. Cheers man.

I really like this, it's trippy and makes you feel like your not sober at the same time. Nice work!

Zootman replied 4th May 2023 - 2 years ago
Hi Jonathan, thanks for listening. Probably the vibe I was after! It's definitely not perfect, I think the vox are off here and there, probably the guitar too. Maybe I'll do some more on it. Cheers Chris.

Hey mate - wondering when you were going to post this one - sounds great, you fitted that vox in really well but the guitars are the star of this one - sound amazing, very cool track
Zootman
Zootman replied 2nd May 2023 - 2 years ago
Cheers man, thanks heaps for the sample. The main guitar gave me heaps of trouble, it's hard to play so slow, for me at least, plus I edited the drum loop into some sort of weird six beat time signature...

Damn, Zoot,

I didn't get 3 sec into the track
before I had to go to the comments.
More in 2:38 sec.

Just like Wayne, I hear some Doors, but
that out front Guitar and occidental FX
is all you. Beautiful beautiful track. I
wasn't looking at the waveform while I was
listening. I had really hoped what was sounding
like the end of the track wasn't the end of the track
but.......

Great track. Faved.. te rangimarie from the topside...

Zootman replied 1st May 2023 - 2 years ago
Tumeke Mr Jynxz and peace to you too! Love your comment. I really wanted to sing on this but could find neither time nor inspiration. But I reckon Pseudoble came up with the goods to help me out, as he often does. Och aye.

I like this, reminds me of the trippy feeling the Doors would achieve in some of their songs. It has a "smokey" mix meaning it has a haziness, blurry almost feel to it, trippy. Looking for the pipe now, lol!

Great mix, not over compressed, lots of space, just right!

Hey Wayne, thanks a lot. I reckon the pedigree of this is firmly rooted in stoner garage band land. Thanks for listening as always, Chris

Awesome Zootman, great buttery vocal and nice chilled guitar playing. Nice mix on this one as well, the guitar almost sounds subtle against the vocal, good job for not over cooking the levels, sounds great ! :)
Zootman
Zootman replied 6th Apr 2023 - 2 years ago
Thanks for the nice comment! I probably fluked the balance between vox and guitar given I had the two mics (1 condenser and 1 dynamic) positioned to try and capture both at once. Took a bit of compression to get on top of some of the peaks but yeah, the problem with the earlier version was a bit of clipping. I'm still very much learning the production stuff.

Thanks Mr BB. I added the delay to the mix just recently, wasn't sure it was a good move. I wanted it subtle so hopefully it sounds that way. cheers Chris

Hi Zootman .
I dont remember the older one anymore...my age lol.
But it sounds great.
Nice guitar playing and voice
Very peacefull

Zootman replied 4th Apr 2023 - 2 years ago
Thanks Rita, when I'm away from home and I have some spare time (as I was with this one) and I don't have the recording equipment it gets tempting to go back to some old ones and tinker and try to improve etc. Cheers Chris

Hi Paul thanks a lot man. Looking forward to hearing more from you, you must be cooking something up. Personally I'm feeling the urge to do more guitar music and have a few things on the go but no time to pursue and develop them.

Hi Michael. Thanks a lot. I didn't realize this was already showing in featured tracks. I hadn't had time to listen or comment to others and I'm about to go bush again for a couple of days. Weston63 did a great remix of it. He's got some very cool stuff on here.
