Good title, seems fitting. Music for the mind, food for thought. Good for the senses. Nice lows. Two thumbs up!

thanks for listening Wayne, feel like I need to do some good old-tiney song writing at the moment but nothings coming yet!

I really like the depth and spaceyness of the beginning.
I'm also a big fan of those sultry type of Female vocals.
I have used that Laurentwirz Drum sample before, it really
gets things moving.
The Synth and Bass were super nice.
The way the Keys kept you in a delicious suspense.
And then it was over. That was the fastest 4 min ever.
I had to listen to it again to be sure it hadn't skipped somehow.

Great Track. Faved..

PEACE...

Hi J, thanks heaps for listening and the fav. I wasn't too sure about this track, maybe a bit random, maybe a bit boring but sounds like u thought it was ok. I tell you, after listening to the LM tracks I heard this morning that were so good and creative I started feeling like an imposter, putting my stuff up here. So thanks again.

Hey Chris.
Lovely synth work mate.
I think it is a great track mate.
Well done.

Yo, thanks for the listen Maj. a bit schizoid maybe but never mind. Had a crack at sidechaining the bass with the drum track (for the first time) but not sure it really did anything! Maybe it needs to be triggered specifically by an isolated kick track.

It's like two different songs, beautifully chill in the beginning, and then it's like you had that double espresso, but it wears off and your chill again. Kind of a good musical metaphor for many people's lives on a daily basis my friend. Well done.

Thanks man, actually I was intending to make some sort of funk thing inspired by Jynx and others but it didn't turn out that way!

Great bongo Chris, the echo is tingling, very calming love Zoso's comment, great jump in tempo with the snare and that chant is dreamy, lovely soft outro
Zootman
Zootman replied 22nd Apr 2022 - 3 years ago
Hey Paul, yeah I really liked those two bongo loops. One kind of sounds like rain pitter pattering, at least to me.

To my amateur ears it sounds well cohesive.
I had 1 time a face treatment with this kind of soothing music up to 1:53.
I think after 1:53 I would have a cocktail in between lol.
Very nicely put everything together.

Jupiter's moon Europa with methane rivers, yes I know it. Nice track for sure Zootman. Love the buoy sound that dings in. It seems we are ahead of our time, maybe NASA or Musk seeks this out for when they are going to the moon to conquer it. Maybe they are mistaken in for some signs of alien life right now. Maybe the Men in Black will knock on your door sometime soon.

Definitely what you said in the description I like it we could play this at the Regal Beagle lol you know I do actually like rock I'm just the hyphae and hyper person so it's funny how our tracks show our personality in a way

Never a truer word than that spoken in jest! Thanks a lot man. I shudder to think what kind of establishment the Regal Beagle is or was!

What's up ZOOT!

This track had me from the first second and held me tight till the end. The creativity is delicious. I love the way the Bass and Drums are kinda just playing, like there is nowhere to go but their getting there. Your Vocals match the mood of the track perfectly. I live for this kind of music.

Great Track. Faved..

PEACE...

Kia ora good Sir, that's so good to hear. I think you hit the nail on the head with that 'nowhere to go but getting there' line! Means a lot coming from yourself, thanks for the fav.

This tune reminds me of something I would get when I bought a CMJ disk back in the nineties. Drowsy Xanax-induced music with an awesome Tape echo effect. well done.
Zootman
Zootman replied 17th Jan 2022 - 4 years ago
Ta muchly. Was kind of pleased with it as improv but then I hear others skills and think I need to lay off the Xanax! Still we live and learn, thanks for the listen

Your voice is great here I agree with Mrs A.
Great Job.

Bonito tema amigo Chris, con unas poderosas guitarras, muy amenas y agradables al oído. Tu voz es muy indicada para este estilo de música, entre pausada y envolvente que se queda rápidamente con nuestra atención. La mezcla es clara y nítida, de mucha calidad. Que tengas un buena noche compañero. Paz y salud.

This track has INXS written all over it, I think I mentioned before that your voice reminds me of the lead singer and this whole production oozes INXS cool vibes. Kudos!

Well that was well worth 5.06 mins of my time, agree with cyber it's got an indie feel within a soft rock track. Been waiting for you to sing again Chris. The guitars are great the bass is hard the drums are staged really good beat kick and snare, but the star of this piece is your vocal mate, very very cool, it's fresh, you impressed me, original creative and exceptionally good. Great job faved

Zootman replied 11th Jan 2022 - 4 years ago
Kia ora Paul, thanks so much. I must be a poor judge of my own stuff cause I thought the vox were the week point! It was improv and one take but still, you should have heard what I cut out, warbling all over the place trying to find melody and words. Och aye

It's the bonus track. Every once in a while a MP3 will be silent for 10 or 15 minutes, then something like this would pop up. Ahh the hey day of the CD...

Not a mess.

Hey, since you have the balls to sing I should send you a backing track or something.

Faved.

Zootman replied 11th Jan 2022 - 4 years ago
Ha yeah I remember a few of those. Sometimes they were the best tracks on the album. Not sure I'd call what I do singing, specially on this one it's pretty flat in places. The whole thing was improv and spontaneous and only got done cause wife and kids were away and I got up to mischief. Anyway, welcome to send me something that would be cool.

Very cool mate - kind of ed keupper meets martin phillipps sound but all your own. Love your voice, love the slacker guitar feel and the ambience and nice sound and mix up with the drums.
