Zootman

Good job human. I love rawness of this song.
Good job! Cheers!

Ive figured out part of why these songs are so awesome...its those drum intros, sometimes accompanied by a little feedback, and a touch of grit. I KNOW if I was hearing and seeing this live, there would be at LEAST one huge MF with a Pantera shirt on and an empty beer can in his hand, just watching....but twitching with the barely controlled urge to start a mosh pit. lol. This one could have easily transitioned into a song like that...but Mr. Pantera needed to go get another beer anyways. Trust me, he'll be back lol.

The simplicity here is actually complex, and full. And yes, that IS a true statement lol

Chris, this works, man.
I'm on my first play as I type this, and usually, I wait for at least listen 3 or 4 before I start putting words down, but good lord, man! The tone, texture and attitude of that distorted guitar is absolutely gnarly! I love it.
Typically, I don't really care if a song has vocals or not. I generally don't pay attention to them when they're there anyhow, (just a weird quirk I've always had), but my first thought on this was "Damn, I can almost hear Layne Staley in here." Then, I thought, "ooh even better...our very own Bananalu".
As far as the track itself, top notch, my friend. The mix is crystal, the arrangement, the instrumentation, everything, man. It works.
I love the fact that with the drums and bass, its not really about pushing the song forward as much as it is about carrying weight. The drums arent just keeping time, theyre holding the groove in place. Same with the bass. That lack of complexity is exactly what gives it its gravitas.

I already mentioned the distorted guitar. Man, its just sweaty, gritty, and sexy. The clean guitars make the intent of the song quite clear and they keep everything grounded. Nothing feels busy or unnecessary.

I think, really, this track works so well because it uses weight and restraint. It moves slow and confident. The low end does all of the seducing instead of relying on flashy dynamics or excess. Theres a dark, nocturnal sensuality to it, more pressure than motion, and more implication than release. Everything feels intentional and grounded, and that heaviness gives it this intimate, slightly dangerous feel. It doesnt chase your attention at all. It just pulls you in and holds you there.
It's like being F'd up in a dirty, underground-after-midnight bar with broken neon, and concrete floors, knowing you shouldn't be there, but too wasted to care.
Beautifully done, sir! I downloaded it so it can give it a home in my "Dark And Dirty" playlist.
Take care, Chris.

Hello Zootman, great guitar work my friend, I like everything about this....theres a little of a lot of things going on here.....very good stuff, including the percussions.

Nice work Zoot. It would make a great gritty soundtrack for a heavy surf session.

Fresh out of the oven! Loving how crisp it sounds - that guitar stroke is wicked.

Felt slightly Nirvana-ish in places -I can imagine this being used before an intense shoot out in the desert on 'Breaking Bad' - wonderful guitar work and effects.

I love this. So melodic and relaxed - just what I needed to wake up!

Imagined a lot of Chinese People playing xylophones when I heard this - love the bell-esque sounds. Very pleasant indeed

Amazing track Zoot !!!! Overall (So I think I don't even need to go into details...) !!!! Bravo !!!!!!!!!!!!
What a coincidence, today Manuela wrote in a comment on my youtube channel to give greetings to all of you here in LM !!!!
And I will do so with a song I made based on her vocals! It was my first acapella....
Cheersssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss !!

Chris! This work is over the top. Everything from the silence in between the notes to the ambient sounds in the background. Just EXCELLENT!

Re-visited this today - your voice carries emotion effortlessly and there is such a divine purity in your guitar playing - it is so captivating

Hey Chris long time no see. Im heading down to Oklahoma soon to live with my mom who beat cancers ass! The guitar in this is beautiful and your voice is so soothing and dusty.

Hey by the way, can you help me make a song? Its in need of guitar and those vocals of yours.

This track has such a tranquil vibe which is such a relaxing meditative calming feeling, totally ZEN in nature. You have produced something very special Like this a lot! Kudos!

Yeah man. I dig this. That was an interesting, (but pleasant) twist at 2:50. I really liked the massive reverb and the delay in it. It's somewhere between a dream, a memory, and a trip through the clouds without ever leaving your body. Thanks for pointing it out to me.

OOhhh yeah, This one sound really gooood man. Make me feel listening as like Martin Medeski and Wood.
Banger track
Thanks for the trip

Great work with the keys and the guitars that create a unique atmosphere plus the vocals that do the job really nice. A different song with special colors.
Best regards, Anthony

Beautiful work and such very nice depth and space in this mix, an aural pleasure - it's lively as much as ambient and is quite hypnotic and yeah CC is a master when it comes to naming the genre (alt) trip hop. Gotta love an (alt). And Im looking forward to Manu being a better muso than you ; ) ; )

so my friend... it's magic ! i felt like my feet were off the ground... you're talented ! (i'm following you now !)

Nice piece, Zootman!

Chris, how are ya, man?
I gotta say, I have yet to hear something from you that's less than stellar. I love the contrast between the busy (by comparison) bassline and the ethereal guitar. It kind reminds me of The Orb from back in the day. That's a compliment.
Fine work, my friend.
Take care.
Aaron.

I'm off on hols at the weekend Ibiza this would fit in cafe Delmar no probes just what the doctor ordered great share man :)

That BASS is up my alley though!
Great instrumentation. You could probably fall a little bit in trip hop. Good one

Great job. Really enjoyed in listening.
So relaxing for my brain.
I love it.
Cheers!

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