    Hi, Billy.

    I started up a forum thread about favourite ever tracks on Looperman and MrWolf14 chose this very track as one of his favourites. I thought you might like to know
    https://www.looperman.com/forum/thread/182742/what-are-your-favourite-tracks-on-looperman

    You should check the thread out and contribute too.

    Anyway - yes, they are extremely trippy vocals.

    I like this but would have gone with the piano as intro from 0:09 rather than the drum intro.

    0:48 is where it starts to get cool with that killer bassline. Great tone and the sort I'd like to use. But it takes 48 secs to get to that. Would be only about 40 without the drum intro.

    1:26 a good but laid back beat kicks in plus some simple rising guitar notes. This is all sitting nicely. Perhaps industrial psychedelic chill is the genre?

    3:55 good weird, crazy rising noise though I thought the beat might kick in and get a bit heavier for variation. Still a good trippy vibe.

    It's really quite a chilled lazy, trippy track. Kind of futuristic.

    Congrats!

    I don't claim to know much about electronic music but I do know when something sounds good and is mixed well. I like the way you built the song up. There is a nice variety of sounds here as well.

    And I couldn't agree with you more, life certainly can get crazy at times. I know I had to buckle up for this song!

    Very, very well done mate! I agree with FR, great clubby vibes and good Eurodance feeling!

    Definitely reminds me of 2 Unlimited's old stuff.

    You earn a fave from me, so keep up the good work.

    Thought i'd home in on this one as I always seem to like your tracks. Sounding good so far, got a real club feel to it which is what we like. Nice piano lick followed by some fat ass bass. I always like the way you layer your stuff. One sound compliments the next beautifully and the arrangement is splendid. Reminds me a little of John "00" Flemmings stuff. A nice progressive builder.

    Wow, your intro guitar sounds exactly like something The Refreshments would do. Keys come in and change that.

    Vocals give a very U2 feel to this beginning.

    I do hear small pops and stuff like that so there may be some spots where you could use crossfades or auto-fades where your tracks touch or begin.

    I enjoy the vocals very much. I appreciate unique voices and there is something there that makes it very not U2,... which is good.

    Fully dug, this track I have.

    Hi Ed!

    So sorry for late reply,but worlds going tits up and i want no part of it lol.

    I think middle of the road music came from what was called Easy listening,then i think middle of the road became what we call chillout.

    Middle of the road is me mate.!

    Well the fat panned bass is already sounding good as is the guitar. I can't believe you use magix software. #i bought a copy and i think it sucks but i guess i just don't know what to do with it as this sounds bloody brilliant. I'm sitting here nodding my head inanely but for good reason. Like those little "searching,loving" vocal drops. It sounds a little like something paul oakenfold might throw together and that's meant as a compliment.
    Bloody goooooooooooooood!

    Commented on Dawn Of War - The Peace Message by brillbilly

    This is fine work and I liked it within a few seconds. That wavering intro is awesome. I loved the high notes.

    0:19 we get cool, tight bass and another, distorted synth enters shortly after.

    Then some good crashing toms.

    0:57 funky little melodic guitar is a nice surprise. Sample, I guess.

    1:26 chugging synth is a little like some metal guitar riffage. This has quite the rock band feel but is all synths apart from that little guitar sample. But that guitar's not rock music so adds a cool contrast.

    The structure of this is interesting as it kind of sits like ambient music but you could also dance to that bassline.

    Some other strings are in there somewhere too.

    You know that if I'd made it, the drums would have kicked into a fat beat and it would have gone big and rocking and so on. But not doing that is also a bit different and a perfectly good choice.

    No production criticisms from me as it all sounds very professional.

    Feel free to tell me a bit more about how you put this together.

    Thank you StaticNomade for your wonderfull indepth review.!

    I cant really say how i do this,as i just play about with sounds.!

    Im a 60's born child and love most types of music.

    I just go in to some type of zone,start to lay a few sounds down to create what mood im trying to convey,then i just build around it.!

    I just do this as a kind of therapy,as i broke my neck in 94.

    Because of nerve damage i struggle to play guitar and keyboard, so in 2008 i got me a Magix music maker program and made my music this way.

    I'm just a novice that sometimes can pass my insomnia time making music thats all.!

    I seek no fame or fortune, just personal enjoyment that i share.!

    Thank you for taking time to give your real kind comments.!

    I do take all with the greatest gratitude.!

    Peace man!

    Such a powerful production with it's dark beginnings that develop with those hypnotic drums and guitar section. The synth stabs work really well too. Great production. Love it.

    Inspirational, powerful and well composed. This is a top work from you brother.

    Those 'War' drums are majestic and the synths are sublime. The guitar works well too expressing the message of the track in place of vocals.

    Faved man. Keep creating! - B
