What a fantastic piece you created here. The arrangement is unique and works superbly well with the vocals. So much soul beaming off of this, and the jazz elements mixed with the beautiful vocals make for a fantastic listen. Great work, adding to the favs!

Yo Ian, 5 minutes well spent in my opinion. Lush, immersive and dreamy, mix sounds great. Happy new year to you!

Man, that's a fascinating track. Loads of weirdness and bits flowing in and out of focus. Lovely stuff!

Hahaha I know the feeling. I've long grown accustomed to having to delete tracks here to keep it manageable so YouTube is my long-term history.

This is the perfect place for experiments though and if people don't seem to like it... I try not to care. The main thing is whether I like it ;)

Didn't I see you also post a drill rap by a 15yo or was I just dreaming? It sounded promising in my dream!

Yay for 7yo boys :)
Some lovely weird sounds Ian - it all works together and it's really exciting!
Merry Christmas!

Very 70s but not sure if vocals fit on this one. But also don't know this genre. Well I guess they do. U definitely a black belt in music!

That's good that your mood changes with genres. Great way to evolve your musical ears!! This is great man vocals fit on the money love the soundscape sounds

i’ve got this under my skin, mate. beautifully damaged, groovy as hell. really intriguing gtrs + electronics roomy but accumulating steam, awesome stuff happening by the 3.00 mark. the selection and placement of vox is extrasensory. weird, seething voodoo. cha cha cha.

Excellent. Love the laid back loose limbed feel of it. Guitars are awesome.

This is perfect for what it is. Are you singing the track?



The voice is phenomenal! You have a hook there, and it sounds amazing and you hit us with it right of the bat. I had to replay the track because I missed its presence. The nature of a hook is that people will miss it until you bring it back. Bring that thing back somewhere before the song ends.

Sometimes when I record a hook, I think "Oh, would peoples ears miss this in about a minute?". Music can really be powerful for the listener but they shouldn't have to starve if you know what I mean.

You also have a great start to a little verse in there starting with "baby let me lift you up" and "I don't want to let you fall in love" I know lyrics are hard to come up with, but I think it could use a few more.

The arrangement is perfect on the intro "bars" and sounds like a hook to me. Maybe cut out some of the cluttered together filler vox hits and lay those few bars from the beginning down again where they fit.

I think tracks like these really let peoples talent shine through. I'm hooked on the sound of the whole track. Do I think you should put a lot of time into refining it? No, I think you established yourself on the record in a really creative way that showcases your talent. You'll look back at this in a year and say, Wow!

I think this track reminds me of my track New Money... Its not on looperman anymore. I had to delete it to upload other songs. But you could find it on any streaming platform, spotify, apple music, youtube etc... here is a link

I spaced out the .com FYI.



Great track again!

Ian! This one has strong potential. I’m imagining some fire changes off that bass line alone. The vocals are right in there but the whole track feel's just plain great. The guitars are lush and the percussive edge gives an undercurrent that resonates with me. This is off and running. Push it all the way through. Faved easily. Peace

Mark

although i was a little disappointed as i thought the track was about me, nope didn't even get a mention :))

Ian your the experimenter, i love what you try we;ve been good mates a while now, yeah it lacks a little structure vocal wise but the track is original and hits the indie genre too, nice job

Relaxed and elegant

high marks for squiggliness. what a treat. louche lounge smoking allowed near the rhodes and it’s coming outta the flute too. it’s a colorful joint too and btw gravity does not apply in this establishment. i’m the guy clinking the empty bottles at the end — show me the way to go home!

this is wonderful, mate — it’s like your ‘year of the cat’! the aco just slinks right in like a cat into a smoky nightclub seriously looking to hook up without another cat. brassy af. very cool

really nice chill out track Ian the vocal is smokin' the brass is standout bro, great acoustic guitar, liking the percs and harpers tap and that background fx sounds like a whisper is a great add, cool and fresh

That's lovely and weird. I like it!

Now a days, it says your friends would be admired for even knowing what a harmonica is, he.

I like this, the guitar is squelchy, to me guitars need some effects when you are to create this type of atmosphere. They could even be louder I think. Lots going on, the flute is sweet, the electronic bits are neat, especially in my headphones.

This is insanely good. The guitar is perfect with a Mark Knopflery sound.
Come back soon with more!

And i come back to this one again....idk wat it is about this one that makes me feel so at peace....but man am i glad it does

Ian! Right out the gate the direction you moved this track is spacious light and fresh. The delayed sax with the vocals is a solid creative touch. And yep I’m totally loving the saturation and the stereo separation. Great staging and presentation. Stellar as always my friend.

Mark

Hey Pseudo
You put this drums ande the rest really nicely together.
Hats off.
The vocal is also very nice.
I can see you growing and growing but hey...don't go too fast or I'll get such an inferiority complex lol

wow Ian this also reminds me of FKJ&Massego the youtube vid is great the two of them in the studio you probably seen it anyway millions have but its fantastic work mate, this is surely one of your top tracks, you must know you got it spot on, you had a feeling on this one the music possessed ya into to delivering a cracker, well do great listen big comparison, big compliment
