Man oh MAN.

This sounds like a bass and ambience love child! So glad I jumped at this opportunity, I haven't worked with anyone in a very long time, infact, the last time may have been with yourself for "In Rumis Tent" which was another masterpiece on your end.

Good working with you DB and CJBeat!

Props boys!

Ohh boy! I was expecting bass when I came to your profile and that's what I got!

This could easily replace the definition of dub so you could contact Wikipedia to wipe the page and post a link to this song.

Nice, very nice sound on those drums and the bass is fabulous. Very trippy!

This is a great job from all of you guys involved. Now go get Damian on it.

You're sure you don't have Jamaican roots? Lol!

Love that bass line! The drums are amazing and the percussive elements give it a nice ethnic vibe. You've got a certain sound, your sound that's for sure.

You are def coming into your own realm of musical existence. Your music lately has risen and is reaching new levels, keep it up. Did you go straight in with the bass, did you use any vst amp? I'm always trying to learn how people get their "sound" when it comes to guitars and basses.

Sure, I could hear this in a cinematic setting, to show a passage of time while someone does something like builds or creates something or tries to solve a mystery or crime. Nicely put together, the less is more approach is something I live by and works here.

Keep up the good work, always fun to hear your creations!

i recorded it directly into Live, but used 2 waves plugins: Znoise and MaxxBass on the fx chains as well as a free compressor plug called Thrillseeker which i find excellent...the upper octaves of course have a bunch of reverb and delays added as well, all native Live fx...thanks for the listen wayne and your fine words, much appreciated as always!....

Very compelling. Exotic and deep. I can feel the bass kick in my earphone pads, and the vocal at the end lifted the crown of my head. Astonishing sound.

Very nice,the guitar is so smooth and the notes played are important,I've always said it's not the amount of guitar but the delicate use of fine notes that may only be a few but are the addition that makes all the difference to the song...and me.

Fantastic!
Allen.

Ohh now this is fabulous! Talk about bass! Addictive rhythm!

The touch of vocals is just amazing and the groove inflicted by those drums is emphasized by the bass and the subtle nuances of ethnic spice going on!

This is going in my favs! This should really get some TV/Add plays!

I heard a rumour going round that you'd made a great piece of tunage. It was true!
For some reason this piece has got me thinking vampires in the dessert like in that film "near dark"
Again i'm thinking to myself "spend more time on ableton" i see it's paying off dividends for your music.
Easily the best cinematic piece i've heard for quite some time.
Now you can kick back and reward yourself with a cold one!

This is hauntingly brilliant my friend! I could imagine it as background music for something like CSI.

Superbly put together! I really do like this piece my friend!

A song is only as good as its foundation, and this song has a great foundation!!! Bass line is absolutely stellar. Great vox and instrumentation, subtle and sublime, all following that wonderful bass line.

Well done.
