Hey Chris, nice choice of sounds and FX here. The title made me laugh.

I am sure you had a very good time making this track. There's plenty of imagination and emotions that make the song really enjoyable.
I like the sound too. It is complex and delicate at the same time.
Best regards, Anthony

Complex and delicate....I like that. As usual I think you hit the nail on the head as far as what I had in my mind. Thanks, Chris.

Hi Chris, this sounds incredibly beautiful and hypnotic. It's another one of your tracks where I think your surroundings, or rather your home landscape, have an influence. It certainly exudes a sense of spaciousness. It's also nice that you've included the lyrics for us to read... ;)
Cheers

Ah yes I'm a stickler for detail lol. Gotta have those lyrics. My sister thought it sounded Chinese, I presume she was talking about the synth hit where I was twiddling with the pitch wheel. Quite fun doing tha. Thanks Micky.

great work Chris i like the fx used its ambient you can loose yourself in the sounds the slide guitar adds life to it, its nice, the synths are great love the percs too and i like the vocal chop, its flatter sounding and fits the track pertect, nice work

Hi there, thanks for that. Yeah, I quite like it as headphone mix too. Cheers Chris.

Hello Zootman, just enjoyed your track.....very nice assortment of sounds dancing around the steady percussions. I think its pretty cool with the slight vocals in the background.

Thanks Glenn, appreciate you listening as always. I'll get to your track soon hopefully! Cheers Chris.

Wonderfully ambient - pleasant sounds but not boring like some ambient stuff can be. Great slide guitar.
Zootman
Zootman replied 21st Sep 2025 - 4 months ago
Thanks Kayos, yeah obviously it's not really slide guitar but I did a lot of sliding rather than picking or hammering. Trying to get it fairly smooth. Cheers Chris.

Great capture of live feeling, vibrating the air, smelling of 21century future. Those close vox with your timbre, I get this feeling we remembered our blues heroes.
mix n master is mellow af, great pressure on bass. dimension clear. guitar composition works great with synth. Lyrics mythical, great songwriting. bless the human soul.

Oops, slipped through the cracks sorry. I'm glad you looked it. Pretty mellow, I liked the looseness of it personally. Thanks Zoot.

Nice percussion intro it kind of reminded me a little bit of that one song from the movie dirty dancing the very first one in the very beginning if you remember if you seen that movie cuz I'm old lol this this definitely a cruise track right here cuz it has just the right kind of paste that I like to cruise in. You have a really good voice for these type of vibes. I could see this in a movie where there plays a bad boy or thug! Cigarette smoke, Harley bikes, guns, drugs , & Strippers. So a man's track lol haven't been here in a minute man I'm here now

I dont know how to describe this one; but thats bcuz I don't have much i can compare it to. That's a very good thing. I can hear an artist doing his thing and having a blast doing it. Its freakin great dude. Ill have to give it another listen.
Zootman
Zootman replied 11th Sep 2025 - 5 months ago
Yeah, whenever I think I'm starting out on something that is going to be at least half-way normal, it ends up being..... something else. But yes, self-expression is always what its been about for me, whether that's writing or music, or anything artistic. What's the point of being generic or derivative? Cheers Chris.

Tumeke bro! I loved Micky's bass on this. It crossed my mind to hit you up for a bass part but I figured you'd probably have better things to do than indulge me. Mind you the same was probably true of Micky, but he did offer. 'til next time, Cheers Zoot.

Greetings, Now this was a pleasant surprise to listen to. I love it a lot. And yeah it does remind of a song you would listen before stepping into a battlefield or something when moving around in a AMC or something. So very well done. It has that rawness in it as well yet that gentle flow as well. So yeah i liked it a lot and one for the favs for sure. Keep up the good work. Have a good one, Verdi
Zootman
Zootman replied 11th Sep 2025 - 5 months ago
Hi Verdi, well, thank you very much. You're a straight shooter and I admire your music, so I very much like that you liked it. Yes, it's a pretty typical loose, garage band style for me. At least you can tell it's not AI. Cheers Chris

That's a great dark rock track. The military intro speaks and says 'prepare for the battle'. Which battlefield is it? Cool vocals and lyrics in this human collaboration. Frankly I don't want to admit that Revolution is over!
Zootman
Zootman replied 11th Sep 2025 - 5 months ago
Ha ha yes. Maybe there's another one coming. I think we need some sort of radical change, even if it's just a revolution of the mind. Cheers Chris

Zoot, I like it. It sounds like it could be something from a Mark Lanegan project circa mid 1990s. The chorus (?) effects on the guitars, I think, are what does it. It could easily fit in a play list with Blind Melon, Screaming Trees, Soundgarden, etc.

Micky's bass is a great addition. It sounds much fuller and warmer now. Kudos to Micky.

Honestly, I don't think the 2-3 minute mark needs anything at all. I think the synths you have in there are exactly as it should be. It's such a mellow tune that anything more would be distracting, or maybe even ruin the flow.

Yeah, man. I totally dig this.

I sent you an email a few minutes ago with an idea or two. If you like them, get a hold of me.

Take care.

Thanks man. I'm not really familiar with Mark Lanegan or Screaming Trees etc. But I'll check him out later tonight. Yeah, Micky played a sweet bass on this track. First time I've ever had a real bass on one of my tracks! It's always been just me on midi! Cheers Chris
