Yo, good. That's the idea. Shootout at the ok corral, then a whiskey at the saloon and all that. Cheers Zoot.

Zoot - This is just gorgeous - love those opening beats and guitars - wow - Hank Marvin has competition!

Do you guys ever sleep?! Truth be told, I actually started out with old school surf music in mind. But as usual, between idea and execution something happened. Thanks as always, Chris.

What a beautiful voice you have - such a nice tone - a mystifying thing/that soul of yours like a river lost to the sea
a little bit like me ..Gorgeous lyrics and sentiment for your daughter - the guitar has classic acoustic warmth - LOVE THIS

This will probably always be one of own favorites. I still exactly remember where, when and how I recorded it. Thanks for the lovely comment. Chris.

Hi Zootman, I enjoyed the listen very much! Well put together! Nicely done. It's got a bit of everything in there and it pulls the rhythm along just fine.
Zootman
Zootman replied 24th Feb 2026 - 1 month ago
Hi there, yeah that was the intention I guess, just a groove/jam track with hopefully enough variation to hold the interest. Micky and Jynx parts really helped it along. Cheers Zoot.

Love that guitar, lots of afro and other influences swirling around here. Reminds me of The Heliocentrics.
Zootman
Zootman replied 24th Feb 2026 - 1 month ago
I checked it out the heliocentrics (great name) and they were pretty interesting thanks. Fela Kuti is a pretty cool afro/jazz reference u wanna check him out. Cheers Zoot.

Man this was a fun listen. What inspires the stuff you create? Its interesting to me how so many talented people have their unique ways to approach music.
Zootman
Zootman replied 24th Feb 2026 - 1 month ago
Glad you thought it was fun. Check out the link to the Nina Simone song I put in a reply to kingmt77. That was partly the inspiration. Other than that, you know how it works... It could be one or two notes on a guitar, a sound, a feeling, a rhythm..... Cheers bro.

Wow fabulous fusion - you did all those loops justice and then some

Thanks. I thought it was kinda groovy. Jam track really but tried to give it some sort of trajectory. Jynx and and Micky parts added a lot. Cheers Chris.

Yikes Chris!!! Nina tho!

That track probably isn't what most people would associate Nina with.... But man the percussion and the feeling behind it is outrageous. And live too!

Chris! The percussive entrance is Wow! That sinister ep with the synth is scandalous. Infectious groove on deck. Guitar solo is quite pertinent. Yep I wouldnt expect anything less from The Zoot and the renowned Star Travels team. Congrats on a great organic collaboration!

Hi there, thanks so much mate. Hopefully you didn't find my attempt at some quasi jazz Rhodes too amusing lol. For someone who struggles to play in time, I seem to like rhythm. This was partially inspired by this Nina Simone track:

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=5GsCHQkulr4&;desc_update=1

Apparently written by Tina Turners sister about Ike.

All the best

Hey Chris, Micky and Jynx,
You did a great job. The instrumentation is very good. It matches the description. I especially like the bass and the guitar.

on Rising Tide ft Manuela and True Sister Band by Zootman
nice track Chris, Manuela told me about this one a few weeks ago she said a little promotion on LM all helps, i cant believe i missed it, its a week old, i'm not here as often tbf, this is built round your initial work so you can also stand up and take the plaudits too mate, i told her there was two with her vox up last week fanisatt and i can't remember the other, she was happy, and having that professional polish from her team is the cherry on top for us amateurs as you know I've also worked with her a few times, this is a great piece to be proud of mate, vocals are stunning, your idea brought to life beautifully, take a bow

Thanks Bonez. I don't know the detail but I believe she had a bad experience with someone spreading lies or generally being a wanker. Happens sometimes, there's a few about, but thankfully not too many. Cheers man, Chris

All I can say atm is I am truly glad I gave your older songs a listen. Youre a hero to your daughter, man. And we are glad you shared that with us in the form of this song - not that it wouldnt be good without that part, it just cranks it up a few notches for us. My young daughters are both beginning to want to make music with dad, and this made us think of that.

Zootman replied 20th Feb 2026 - 1 month ago
Make sure you indulge them man, it's fun. I'm jamming a bit with my son at the moment, me on guitar, him on midi drums with bass loop going. Anyway, this track will always have a place in my heart, it captures a moment in time for me.

The most Cinematic and visually telling piece that Ive heard of yours so far. Very clear storytelling with distinct chapters and satisfying conclusion. Damn youre very diverse with your productions, dude! Btw if u ever want to do stuff using loops like these, just give us a yell, we'll toss u the whole pack (trust me, we'll have access to it)

Zootman replied 20th Feb 2026 - 1 month ago
Thanks. Fun track to make. Loops can be lots of fun. You're welcome to send a pack of goodies anytime :)

This one sounds so much different then your other stuff - yet it does at the same time. Idk how much sense that makes lol, but its our best description. You should do vocals like this more often, quirky and competent. We Like.

Old track I wrote and played on acoustic guitar for decades. I was always quite pleased with the lyrics. I've played it in all sorts of styles.
