on The Dust Off by Zootman
nice work Chris great vocal, solid lyrics that carry weight especially with the tone you delivered, the meaning is their and it feels real, guitar playing aint half bad either mate, really good listen to a good piece of art, and who doesn't like a good old revolution

on adrift by Zootman
Wow - you put the ingenuity in Indie - I love that laid back vocal of yours and the whole vibe of 'I fell out with life' kinda feeling. 20/10

Still trawling the back catalog! Thanks for checking this out. It's terribly rough but captures a moment in time for me so I still like it. Been taking a wee break from LM, just listening here and there, but might put a track out soon. Cheers Chris

Beautiful song and a solid message against racism and segregation. People must be united with no discriminations of any kind. This is peace.
I liked your track really very much.

Hallo Zootman - A poignant message wrapped in a great tune - percussion is fabulous KayOS

Thanks. Yes I'm a sucker for anything syncopated. Never got the mix/production right on this tho, despite innumerable attempts. But I've given up on that now. Cheers Zoot

on St James Infirmary ft Jack Teagarden by Zootman
Chris! This is loaded with goodness! A great take on a classic. The muted trumpet with those delayed guitar chords and the stereo field percussion did it for me. Historically this song has been done in every genre imaginable. You have done it justice for sure. Thanks for sharing. Peace.

Holy moly time flies. Yes, I forgot to mention in the new description that Pseudoble thought of putting the Jack Teagarden track to my music. I still wonder how he did that. Cheers Chris

Hi, thanks a lot. Someone else on this site has said much the same thing about my voice - Michael Hutchence had a great voice so I'll take the reference even if I don't necessarily believe it lol. Thanks again, will try to catch up on some listening tonight. Cheers Chris

on Dark Matter by Zootman
Hi Zootman. I like this, with or without any vocals. Found myself singing some tune and scribbling notes while listening. It has plenty of grit, determination AND with attitude. I'll send you some lyrics that should transform into readable text - that maybe "go" with it. Well done!
Zootman
Zootman replied 25th Jun 2025 - 7 months ago
Hi there, thanks so much mate. I got your email. I like the words. Sometimes what holds me back from the singing side of things (apart from embarrassment at hearing my own voice) is not having lyrics so I appreciate these. We'll see if I come back to this one or not, it's possible. Anyway, thanks again. Cheers Chris.

on Get What You Give by Zootman
Hi, this is an absolutely stellar track. It really mixes up those genres. I love the contrasting guitars, especially at the beginning. The vocals suit the music totally. Reminds me of Apollo 440 at times with it's use of Dub styling and heavy guitars, I could also hear a bit of Can in the mix as well. All in all, an excellent track.
Zootman
Zootman replied 21st Jun 2025 - 7 months ago
Thank you! I'm not familiar with Apollo440, I'll look them up. But I've been fascinated by Can for a good 35 years! Cheers Zoot.

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!
Zootman
Zootman replied 17th Jun 2025 - 7 months ago
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 replied 17th Jun 2025 - 7 months ago
Yeah it wouldn't be hard to rearrange and make a space for a voice. Maybe one day. Thanks a lot, Zoot.

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.
