Ha, I thought I'd snuck this one in under the radar, or sonar maybe:) a bit indulgent but never mind. Thanks for the listen and comment mate.

Spectacular! And it's that old school oldies vibe that got to me on this one

Hi CCC that's the best compliment there is! Been listening to your tracks too lately but hadn't commented sorry, even though I've been digging them. You are a master at what you do musically and in terms of production. Churr.

on Blood Moon by Zootman
The D-n-B part is good. I like that. It's got a good classic beat, It's not overloaded with growly synths, (which is something I'm guilty of doing.)

The ambient beginning. I really dug that. The bass line in it is groovy as fuck. It's got a real Roger Waters appeal circa Saucer Full Of Secrets. I love the evolving synths, and the heavily reverbed background SFX. Honestly, I think you should go back and make a full track out just that.

Alternatively, it would be cool if you strung some of the Ambient half through the D-n-B half to kind of tie them together a little more. Maybe bring the evolving synths into it, or work in that bass line.

But, that's just my own opinion. Take it for what it's worth.

Overall man, great track.

Take care.

Hi Valvedriver, thanks for those insightful comments, there's some good ideas there. I wish I had more time to indulge this passion. By the way, the mysterious womens voice in the ambient section is someone praying in tongues (backwards). Have you ever read Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson? Pretty cool book and has a theme running through it of glossolalia so that was the inspiration. And thanks for listening to a bunch of other tracks, much appreciated. I checked out your website too, pretty cool man.

Hi Zootman2u, really great vocal track; pretty jazzy, trip-hoppy; and cool trumpet :) All instruments go well with each other, nothing out of the ordinary, pretty laid back. Good work.

damn, i immediately flashed on the opening montage of new orleans streets in jarmusch’s down by law. dimensional, tripping version. pseudo’s got a hell of an earwig and your acting out on his suggestion is fantastic!
Zootman
Zootman replied 6th Sep 2021 - 4 years ago
yeah i was super stoked with his suggestion and work on this. mine is basically derivative of his but slowed down and slightly dubified. thanks man. will email you shortly.

This is a pretty cool mixup.

I was especially digging 2:50 to 3:50. In my opinion, that whole section could have been doubled in length. It's got such a nice ethereal groove to it, that it was over before it started. So to speak. But, then again, I'm a fan of really long instrumentals. That's why I listen to Doom Metal. HA!

Anyhow. I really dig the genre mixing. You made it sound good.

Keep up the good work, and take care.

An awesome creative melding of these 2 genres. especially impressed with the engineering. spatial depth was very tasteful when it needed to be. That riddim g-tar was awesome reminded me of Sly and Robbie mixes, great work, Favd

Cool twist from the original. The vocals and horn match up so well with the reggae part, great mashup! Not much about this I didn't like.

Funny how things work out sometimes.

ha yeah hope you don't mind, its definitely not that I dislike yours, just seemed a shame not to put mine up when I put a fair bit of work into it too. this one is certainly not in any hurry, hopefully its not too slow. Slightly different feel to yours I guess.

Wow Chris a slightly different feel, but sticking to that jazz feel, the lyric is lit, hope you agree to the tweaks I've made to ours

Zootman replied 30th Aug 2021 - 4 years ago
Cheers man, all Pseudoble work. I have a version I'm mucking around with too but it's slower and maybe slightly dubby. And yeah, commented on your version just before, it's real good man I really like it. Personally I think you improved the mix a lot, to me it hangs together just right now. Will download when I'm on the computer again. Thanks again for playing around with it, it's so cool that you were inspired enough to do that.

Alright everything about the sound of this made my little ears perk up. This is such good! work so kudos! to all involved and to top it off one of my fave instruments the sexy saxophone. Let me just talk about those smouldering! delicious! dulcet tones of the vocalist JT for a minute, Man that voice could melt anything, so soulful. All in all a great track. Well done.

Me encanta como te a quedado amigo zootman2u, la voz hay que reconocer que es especial, pero el ambiente y la puesta en escena de los instrumentos le da ese toque personal que lo coloca a otro nivel superior. Bien hecho compañero. Que pases un buen día. Salud y paz en el mundo.

No conocía el tema, un gran tema amigo zootman2u, gracias por volverlo a sacar para gente relativamente nueva como yo. Has conseguido que me sienta como si estuviera en una playa jamaicana, bailando y tomando ron sin parar. Me encanta ese ritmo tan típico pero difícil de conseguir. La mezcla muy profesional y con mucho sentimiento. Me gusta tu voz, no sé si ya te lo dije alguna vez, es muy cálida y agradable de escuchar, un lujo para los oyentes. Bien hecho amigo mío. Salud y paz para todos.

Gran tema con una voz impresionante, la guitarra muy intimista arropando cada palabra con total suavidad. Me viene a la cabeza algo de Pink floyd no sé porque. Cosas mías. Enorme pista amigo zootman2u. Salud para ti y los tuyos.
