After my son was born I distinctly remember looking up at the sky and stars and knowing for sure that Love was the principle that held the universe together and that without it nothing would work. This is a sweet wee track that somehow mirrors that.
Like it! Good stuff Kirk, but the first 30-50 seconds hardly register on my cheap inner ear phone headphones (that might be similar to what BoD is saying). Crank up some of the higher sounds a bit so people don't skip during the intro - because the rest is totally worth it!
Might want to brighten up the highs. I prefer multiband compression vs boosting an EQ, but either would work.
Also, put YouLean (its's free, though any mastering plugin should work) on the master and try to get the loudness between -14 and -10 LUFS, and you will have competitive loudness for Youtube and other streaming services (the track is a bit quiet).
Just some food for thought. Nice work, keep it up.
Wow, the mind fairly boggles at how many VSTs you had to use to produce this track lol. I really enjoyed that. It almost seems a bit lazy to say this, but hearing so many instruments from different cultures that we generally don't hear in mainstream music gives this piece an almost 'mysterious' quality to my ear. I'd love to hear you continue to explore this sound world.
this is tribal the shamen is calling on the spirits of music its infesting us all, that vocal is not real this is your inner self speaking. ART IS BORN
I think I just traveled to another realm. Hypnotic and tribal. So good to hear something different! The spoken word is perfect on this. Instrumentation and rhythyms spot on. Great track man.
great work Kirk, that bass is fly and gives the whole piece bounce, nice synth and keys, the beat is on point and the vocal is good, the bass is definitely the star though nice listen mate, well done
Nice stereo panning, great beats/ rhythms with and I like swirling and surging bassline too. Also a cool vox with some nice flourishes with the keys / synths adding variety and maintaining interest - well done : )
Another foray into 80s music eh? Love it man, although I wouldn't mind a bit of (syncopated) hihat in the drums for some more funk and some brightness. Great stuff and great use of the vocal!
I grew up with the music of Ian Duty. It was weird and exciting to us - we didn't get the lyrics, we certainly didn't get his appearance but boy did we get the energy. There's also this amazing docu on Stuff where they tell the story nobody wanted to perform after Dury because no band could top that energy.
Yeah, I get it, and you are getting very close to the energy of the band. And that's saying something. Very well done my friend!
His son Baxter sounds like his dad. He's a musician too. I once heard the Blockheads perform on BBC 6 Music (Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show) with Baxter and it was amazing.
Definite Depeche Mode vibes I think this probably Falls more than maybe in industrial genre. Maybe electronic. 1.00 brilliant and 1.40. Honestly these are my Favorite type of sounds and you did well homie mixing everything
