Hello bringerofDOOM, good to see you're still in the game. Yes, the groove on this track is perhaps unexpected when you see the title. But for us (Star Travels) funky beats were always the fuel. I copied the concept a bit from the old heroes like Undisputed Truth (Spaced Out/Higher Than High) Funkadelic (Cosmic Slop etc.) or their splinter group (We Are The Funklords). Somehow I always thought that funk and space go well together. Well, with Kubrick it worked with classical music, but who can keep up with that, right? Thanks for listening and the kind words and the fav.
Cheers, Mickey
Absolutely excellent. I love when an instrumental track has a strong story behind it and everything fits here. Excellent keyboard work, excellent soundscape.
I'm a fan! Fav'ed!
Hello Baobou, nice to hear from you again. It's really like this: At first I only had a single sound that suggested an absolutely icy landscape. I based it all on that and just made sure to stay in style. I'm really glad you liked the track. Thanks for the Fav. Stay tuned!
Cheers,
Micky
nice work captain, this track as got bags of groovy going on, i heard Robbie had gone AWOL rumour has it he survived the crash landing and was immediately transported to the medical centre but he was caught trying to warm an ice Goddess, that carries a severe term in the penal colony so he done one, never said goodbye to anyone. remember the Motto when you signed up all them years ago
'never leave a fellow looper behind we consider that a crime'
go find him boss bring him home safely, his family are missing him, safe journey
and the bass was fine for me, it cuts through but some like it loud and grimy great work as always
Where the hell did you get this information? I hope your sources are safe, because these tips will of course be followed up immediately. Warming up an ice goddess...that does indeed look like my mate Robbie...poor guy. All engines at full power, warp drive....
Electrical trip to the hop intro! Nice! The comment you made on my track thank you by the way you were talking about bass well this one needs base I have to say other than that good job I really like the intro
Thank you for your review. I would like to avoid such dominant bass here, because there are too many ice formations that could easily burst if there is too much bass, and that could be fatal, at least on this planet. But thank you anyway for the tip.
Alright fellas! Here we go with another heavy hitter. The creativity is off the charts good. Loving the weightless section @2:05. Then the comeback at 2:52 ! Nice one that sticks to the ribs.
Hello Mark, nice to hear from you. I've been really turned off by the vibe on LM lately... I don't deal well with Dimestop's overbearing personality... it just ruins my mood. Especially when I see him getting approval from people who I actually thought would be more peaceful. I'm just an old hippie, somehow, that's how it is and that's how it will stay.
But I'm very happy that you like Robbie and I's old track. I don't know how close you are to him or whether you know about his current situation. In any case, we can't continue to work together musically at the moment, which really bothers me. I'm working on my personal tracks, but I've become so particular about them that it takes me months before I'm satisfied... LOL
I hope you're doing well and I'll hear from you again soon.
Love AND Peace
Micky
Fantastic track. Jynxz and Micky, how could you go wrong. Very well done. I can't hear any other vocal concept on this track. Micky put the juice on this one. Great over all sound.
I can't tell you how incredibly flattered I feel. Thank you for these motivating words. I don't particularly like the mood on LM at the moment, so I'm working diligently on my solo tracks... which takes me weeks to months. I've also just switched from Garage Band to Logic Pro, and there's an incredible amount to learn. My goodness, you really NEVER stop learning... right?
Thanks for listening and hopefully see you soon.
Peace
Micky
Micky/Jynxz. I'm really loving the forward drive that gives an honest sense of motion. That change at 1:44 is really nice. Would that by any chance be Jynxz joining in on the vocals? Awesome drums and synths are flying. This is great music.
Hi Mark, Nice that you seem to be going through our catalog bit by bit. No, there isn't a word of Robbie on it... I doubt I could ever get him to sing anything. Maybe he would say something, but we've never had the question. I always assumed he wanted to avoid singing/speaking himself, as he's always used vocal samples on his own tracks. But who knows... maybe he would do it after all... I can ask him.
Many thanks for the appreciative praise.
Peace from Space (on behalf of Robbie)
Micky
Micky/Jynxz Quite an interesting bounce. The chord progressions and EP solo if fire. This is a nice jam. The bass and drums gives this one a nice forward momentum. Great work again.
Ear candy ... Wayne, you're just too kind! Our hearts soar into heights like hawks. I initially thought the idea of starting a project that was all about space funk would get on everyone's nerves after a while, but it seems to be going quite well. So: as long as the universe is black, the shooting stars are flying and the stars are twinkling ... we're in!
Thank you so much for listening again...always appreciated.
Well done lads! This sounds spacey as h*ll and I'm here for it. I wasn't entirely sure what would be meant by using the descriptor 'psychedelic' but now that I'm listening, it's completely appropriate. Your styles also compliment each other very well. Keep doing stuff together!
Hi Cam, oh yeah, you know, about the genre names... we (and I think a lot of others too) always have the same problem with that descriptor: you never totally fit into anything. We could have chosen "Fusion" but I hate that term...to me it always suggests a style of music I really don't want to be associated with. Then it's more "Psychedelic" ... that fits better and is far more authentic (at least in relation to me).
Thank you for listening and for your nice review,
Micky (also on behalf of Jynxz)
This is STELLAR! work here but then your productions are always filled with so much upliftment, love your vocals also very nice! indeed this is real! music sweet and positive! vibes all day long. Bravo!
How nice that you checked us out again. I (Micky) can only thank you again and again for the extremely encouraging encouragement you have given me here from the start. I hope that we can all learn from each other here for a long time to come and that we can depict our inner worlds here. Nice to know you belong!
Thanks for listening and your kind words,
Peace (also on behalf of Jynxz)
All your hats... how many do you have? ;) Thanks alot.
Yeah sometimes I feel like we're trying to fit as many styles in as we can... LOL
We're glad you enjoyed it and we look forward to seeing you again...
Peace from Neandertal and Myrtle Beach,
Micky (also on behalf of Jynxz)
Well, I probably wouldn't say that we're earth-sick... it's more like the pull of the vastness....which we just can't resist. Thank God we have such excellent navigation and we always find our way back in the end. Although the propellant on this vehicle was pretty strong during the outro ...
Thank you for your visit and the encouraging comment!
Cheers,
Micky (also on behalf of Jynxz)
Hey guys this is an epic production.
Hey Micky that guitar is a killer with your voice of course.
Great track my friends.
Well done to both of you.
Maj
Hey Maj, nice that you could check it out and leave this encouraging comment. And I always get very excited when my guitar work is noticed, because I think there's a little guitarist in me who is happy about something like that, hehe.
We're glad you enjoyed the track!
Best regards and see you soon,
mickey
Hi Rita, thank you for your compliments, always welcome! Don't you find it kind of strange that there are so few female artists here? That should change!
Best regards over there...
Micky
great work as always lads, fab mix and production, love all the percs and background work never a dull moment in it, Mickey your vocal is always on point always a good listen boys
Hello my namesake...you probably know that my name is also Michael, but since my wife, my friends and even my dog call me Micky, I adopted it as my stage name. Glad you liked the track. Thanks for the encouraging words. We will stay tuned..
Micky/Jynxz! This is swinging and so smooth. @1:44 and 3:20 changes are epic. Guitar, acoustic bass, drums, and synth work is simply amazing. Awesome listen throughout. Faved beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Hi Mark, it's great to hear you enjoyed it. Believe me, if my mother tongue were English, I could certainly express my joy in a much more vivid way. For me (and I'm pretty sure for Robbie too) you are a musical capacity, if I may use this antiquated term, and in this respect it is always particularly exciting to hear your judgment. I don't know about Robbie, but personally I'm always so unsure if a track we make can be enjoyed by other people or if it's totally for the bin. That's why it's a blessing that you can try it out at Looperman. So again, thank you
Micky (on behalf of Robbie)
Very cool and uplifting ... more than uplifting ... Im soaring into the heavens, great arrangement, wonderful percs and instrumental breaks and flourishes, seamless transitions and lovely sound production too (to my ears as usual some zappa-esque hints) :)
Glad you checked in, Ian. We want nothing more than to entertain the listener and of course we are always very happy when someone enjoys our tracks. Music is a self-rewarding thing, but when other people like what you do, it's simply the most beautiful thing. In this respect: Thanks for listening and the kind words. Oh, and if it always kind of reminds you of Zappa, that's probably because one of us here is the Chrome Dinette... yeah
Micky (on behalf of Robbie/JYNXZ).
Micky/Jynxz. Greetings. Right off you’ve coined this track with a aptly expressed title. It’s full of undercurrents. An awesome composition that I throughly enjoyed.

I like everything about it, even the swing values.
