Well done, great song. It reminds me of a night long ago. Back then you were still allowed to "smoke" in the venue :-)

You got it! And yeah, that's my favorite part. Got another rock track I'm just trying to finish too, which I'm quite pleased with. Hope you and the family are doing well. All the best Zoot.

Zootman! This speaks to me from the depths of the earth! I may play around with something on it if you don't mind? I'll share it with you if anything comes of it of course. Great comp though, love the depth!

Hi there, very nice to hear you liked it. I was going for a wall of sound thing, partially inspired by stuff like Sonic Youth (e.g. Theresa's Sound World - love that song). Plus I think the first section's chord progression, such as it is, comes from Iggy (Wanna Be Your Dog). Not that it sounds anything like either of those lol. If nothing else it was fun to have a go at mixing multiple guitar tracks. Anyway, so cool you might have a crack at it. I hope something comes of it. All the best, Chris.

Yes, yes a great track that could easily stand alone, as it is. Of course vocals are a special, colorful addition to a song, but music has lots of forms anyway.
Very well done.
My regards, Anthony

Hi Zoot !! I think it is worth doing something to add vocals here. I don't have any specific idea, it just seemed to me like this music was waiting for a voice (mainly till 2:50) . Great track anyway my friend ! Cheersssssss !
Zootman
Zootman replied 17th Jun 2025 - 4 months ago
Yeah it wouldn't be hard to rearrange and make a space for a voice. Maybe one day. Thanks a lot, Zoot.

Very nice track Zoot. For sure it can stand alone as track because it's really good as it is now. No need for vocal. Great job! Cheers!

Excellent work, the mix is sharp as a blade and the synth sounds are fascinating but also welcoming despite the inhospitable character of the place.

Thanks Oli, yeah I think you nailed the paradox of it. Cheers Zoot.

I love field recordings. The synth on this is awesome, really adds to the overall feeling of the track. Great track. I really like it.

Beautiful laid back reggae - has a Gregory Isac's feeling (night Nurse) I love it and I love your voice - you are just being you and not trying to sound like anyone ;)
Zootman
Zootman replied 25th May 2025 - 4 months ago
Ha, thanks a lot! Yes I still have time to listen to this one from time to time so I guess that's a good sign. Not much point trying to sound like anyone else I reckon. The two of you are the same I'd say, you have your own unique style. Cheers Chris

Reminds me of Ennio Morricone - this is beautiful - I cannot fathom that you could possibly need to change anything
Zootman
Zootman replied 25th May 2025 - 4 months ago
Hi again, I had to google Ennio. Interesting....Danke said it sounded like a Tarantino soundtrack so maybe there's something to that. And yeah, I'd probably spoil it if I tried to sing but that probably won't stop me lol. Cheers Chris.

I don't know, man. I think it's perfect just as it is. It would be a good interlude between tracks on an album. I think, though, that if there were vocals, Beth Gibbons would be the only option. Actually, on my third listen through, I can also hear Gilmour and/or Waters as well. In fact, this does have a very Pink Floyd feel to it without it sounding like an imitation.
Good work as always. I like the way you do things.
Take care.

Zootman replied 25th May 2025 - 4 months ago
Kia ora V, nice to hear from you as always. I had to google Beth Gibbons but then it said singer from Portishead and of course I know them. I've been hearing a bit of Nick Cave myself but there you go. I'll take either. Hope to catch up on some LM listening in the next day or two myself. Cheers Zoot.

This is so cool, it almost feels like a trek across an arid desert. Constant visions and mirages of oasis, water just out of reach! Great stuff man, would be very interested in hearing a vocal on this at somepoint too ;)
Zootman
Zootman replied 25th May 2025 - 4 months ago
I like your desert vision, in fact some of the words I've been writing reference just that. So we'll have to see how that goes. I'll probably ruin it with my vocals but hey ho. Cheers Zoot.

Hi Chris, that's another beautiful track from you. And as always, it strikes me as absolutely cinematic; it exudes the expansiveness typical of your work. I feel like it reflects the wonderful, expansive nature in which you live. The mix and master are also super transparent. Great work.
Best regards,
Micky
Zootman
Zootman replied 25th May 2025 - 4 months ago
Hi Micky, thanks as always mate. A few other people have been saying 'cinematic' too so maybe there's something there. Been away a few days so hopefully catch up on some listening myself soon. Cheers Chris

Although the sound is real contemporary and very well put together to a beautiful song, there were times that the Beatles came in my mind. This is something good for me and please by no means consider it as something else.
Very well done.
My regards, Anthony

Hello Anthony, I'd never complain about anything, let alone a Beatles reference. All the best, Chris.
