Great track all the way around, not much more to say, except it kinda gives me Alice in Chains unplugged vibes.

I'll take that! If only I could sing like that...Thanks mate.

I loved listening to you. The composition and the sounds are so defined. Listening to you reminded me of when I used to listen to Pink Floyd. For a few minutes I buried my head in the sand to listen more closely, haha. Congratulations, great job.

Hi there, yeah people have referenced Floyd for some of my stuff before. I remember my father playing it when I was 8 or younger even. Thanks for the listen and comment, much appreciated. Cheers Zoot.

Dude, this is so good. It feels very early nineties, like it brings me back to listening to Marcy Playground in my car as a teenager. Great job!

And yeah, it's hard building a traditionally structured song with just loops. It takes a lot of musical surgery and finesse. That's why I need to start learning a real DAW instead of just using Audacity.

Zootman replied 29th Apr 2026 - 2 months ago
Hi Mal, thanks a lot. I haven't heard of Marcy Playground, will have to check them out. As for DAWs, a friend put me onto Reaper when I got into music making. It's all I know but I like it, it's pretty intuitive, lots of good tutorials on line, and it's cheap.... Cheers Zoot.

Hi Chris, your songs always give me such a strong feeling... this one is no different. You're a great musician with a strong vision. Just send me the track without the bass, and I'll try something out... if you're up for it, that is.
Cheers,
Micky

Yeah man, will do. I almost ran it past you for an opinion actually but decided not to trouble you.... Thanks, as always, for your encouragement. Cheers Chris.

Hello Zootman, thoroughly enjoyed your work here....beautiful ambient piece, its definitely a fav for me.....salute
Zootman
Zootman replied 27th Apr 2026 - 2 months ago
Thanks Glenn. I liked the vibe, kind of hypnotic maybe. I've been listening to a fair bit of Krautrock and old German electronica lately for some new inspiration. Cheers Chris.

It is a really interesting piece of music. It flows like a gentle creek, calm and steady, it is not a river, yet the 2.5 minutes seem to pass in no time. You get carried along in its current, and before you know it, it's over. I think it could easily be extended. I enjoyed the vibe it creates, it is a perfect ambient track. Best regards, Anthony

Thanks Anthony, I wanted to achieve that flow state. In music, surfing and life in general lol. Chris.

Hey Chris - Love the Indian feel in here. Takes you on a beautiful, electronic journey - deffo one for your background music track list - wonderful sounds. Well made and v professional. BTW, we will be in touch soon - Oli and I will be listening to the track you sent us when we are together tomorrow;)

Zootman replied 20th Apr 2026 - 2 months ago
Thanks. Yeah there's a slight raga thing going on there with the drone at the start. Re the other thing, I've got a slightly tidier version of that track I sent but the one you've got will do for now.

Chris! Short but sweet. The first thing that came to mind was Nights in white satin. The flow and polish really stand out. Great work here.

Hi again, thanks for checking this out. I'll actually be posting a version of this sometime that a guy in Bolivia sang on. All the best Chris.

Chris! This has a hazy Calcutta sauna type of groove. Yep quite an Infectious groove. The synths are soothing and therapeutic. The bass line is raw. The drum mix is tantalizing. Creativity at it's best. A satisfying listen for me. Thank you for sharing.

Great work! Sounds awesome.

Thanks. Started as kind of an experiment really. The bass is in 5/4, the best is 4/4, the rest of the synths vary.

Wow very nice track! Hard to describe it as there is so much going on, I can see you have a very good composing/arranging skills!

Im sure you had a great time creating this track, especially with so much of it played by you. Its such a creative process that gives chills when it all comes together, and this one definitely does. I really enjoyed the song, Chris.
Best regards, Anthony

Hi Anthony, yes it was a fun track. And Micky and Jynx played some great parts too. Cheers Chris

Chris, the only thing I don't like about this is that it stops at 2:10. Way too early, man!
This almost like a psychedelic rockabilly ballad. I'm diggin' it.
To be honest with ya, this reminds me a lot of our very own Mr. Tumbleweed's playing. Partially in style, but more so in the tones. I don't know if you're all that familiar with his work since he's been quiet around here for awhile, but in saying so, this is a very high compliment to you.
Excellent work, as always.
Take care.
Aaron.
Zootman
Zootman replied 17th Mar 2026 - 3 months ago
Yo Aaron, thanks mate. Yep I know Tumbleweed and that is definitely a fine compliment, though maybe a long bow to draw. But I'll take it...

Psychedelic rockabilly...yeah that's probably a good description. Do you remember the Cramps? I'm sure you do. Not really the inspiration for this track, but they came to mind reading your comment. Cheers Chris.

Kia ora, nice one and good timing, as I listened to your track again this morning. Still love it. And I'm pretty sure I remember eating white sugar by the spoonful when I was a kid if I could get away with it....

@zootman I forgot to add this, but I totally agree with @danke2026's observation, very Tarantino in both inspiration and sound. Again, strong work!

I really dig this and the chill vibe it's throwing out. Spaghetti Westerns have some pretty decent music, just waiting to inspire or be sampled. You definitely nailed the feel. Killer stuffs!

Nice! This quite a unique DnB track, the transition into the DnB element is really spot on! That bass line is killer! Sounds excellent to me, strong work.
Zootman
Zootman replied 6th Mar 2026 - 4 months ago
Thanks! You must be delving deep into the archives to find this one. If it's unique it's probably because I don't really know anything about dnb! Cheers Zoot.
