on 2 Sisters Fractured Dreams Cru Miel et Venin Mix by crucethus
Oh man this is good, not normally my style of music but I love it. The use of acapella is an example to me, I did it before with Phosphorus by Ashes and Dreams. I even downloaded this acapella but gave up after a few listens, had no idea how to incorporate it into my music style, you showed me never to give up. Thanks for sharing.

It's true, there is always a path to a good pella, you just sometimes have to let go and let it take you somewhere.

Hello crucethus, there's definitely a lot going on in this track....love the hard pounding beat and percussions and the many other elements and effects stocking this effort...the vocalist fit in and around all the various music fills and made it a pleasant listen....not my chosen genre but one im glad I listened to......good job.

It's not a genre I would usually sit in, but it's what came out!

on 2 Sisters Fractured Dreams Cru Miel et Venin Mix by crucethus
thats some bass cru, the drums are fire i like the synth choices and i really liked the way you brought the girls to a different genre, i was thinking how, before pressing play its actually a really interesting take industrial gothic and you nailed it good work you gotta think outside the box and you sure did here really cool job mate, your work is always of a high standard as shown here, well done dark but a good dark mate i like and it didn't feel like a five min + track, it sailed through nice job

It was a weird path I took for sure, but as I haven't been so active, my first attempt was shite, so I just let myself indulge in what was coming naturally, and this was the result!

And also a little bit out of sync

Just like the Relationship title, it should be disjointed. It is in AbMin, but there are some vox that are detuned to A. It's supposed to be very Dissonant, and very Chaotic, it's not for the faint of heart, and not a commercial mix.

You see now that's a kick drum that I can relate to and some synth grindage!
I love everything about this man but the only thing is I feel like it's not in the same key the vocals are not in the same key I don't know you've been out here longer than me I consider myself still an amateur but that's just my ears

Well, it is a difficult work, you have done here. It is a different approach, and is all crafted perfectly. I really liked the outcome.
Best wishes, Anthony

Thank you, I figured most people would take their gorgeous harmonies and make something more mainstream, but I wander on the Dark side of the street sometimes.

Dang Cru, you got the deepest bass going there tied in so tight with the drums wow! that is sounding so awesome man!! Really nice mix!!
crucethus
crucethus replied 13th Dec 2024 - 1 year ago
Thanks Mate, Really found a dark place to go with it. The secret sauce is a 32bit VST I hold dearly. It's a Push-Pull EQ for bass called Push-tec 5+1a by leftover lasagna. It's the best bass EQ ever.

I agree with Richard, this is 100eel-good song mate :) great work!
And pretty amazing the Yamaha still works, but 199 back in 1997 bought you pretty much a car or a small house I think ;)

crucethus replied 20th Dec 2024 - 1 year ago
Thanks Mate! lol, it's not that bad economically, but like a $700 synth now ehh! Snd to be honest, My Korg MS2000 crapped out (power supply, and my Korg Trinty crapped to, (Power supply), but this Yamaha keeps on giving. Nowadays I have moved onto soft synths (Sigh)

Steven! Youve put all the notable funk ingredients for this solid and enjoyable work here. Drums and that thumping bass is whats up! The section starting at about 3:22 is scandalous funk. You know the head bobbing kind LOL. Really great work here. Gotta drop that FAVE! Peace.

I started feeling it around 1:24such a great, positive vibe that makes you move. And the fact that you pulled this from decades ago shows youve always had great taste in music, man
crucethus
crucethus replied 4th Dec 2024 - 1 year ago
Positive vibe from a minor key song... I must be slipping lol, but yeah I agree there is a good feeling about this tune.

Steven youve got a nostalgic and not dated throwback that really sounds great. And yep I totally loved those housey piano chords @ about 1:26 with that fire string arrangement that followed. Synths are excellent! Your passion translates wonderfully! Keep on doing what you do! Peace.

Well I liked this from the first note... it hits you promisingly, then it develops. Keeping the listener hooked is one of the biggest challenges and you definitely knew and know a lot about it! Your synths sing beautifully! A great timeless track.
Cheers,

cant believe i hadn't seen this, 2 weeks wtf, you just featured, lol, there's not much to say than you have been bringing this quality of house forever, whatever style you bring you deliver, you analyse everything, everything is there for a reason, to tantalise, bring highs and lows, your a great talent and about time you spent more time with us and collab with me :))

Hey, Sorry for the disappearing act. There's lots going on with my Elderly Dad, and work is intense (in a good way). I'm getting the itch again to record. I always have loved this chord Progression and the Key of FMinor

on Love You More Breakdown Dub by crucethus
I only have one surviving track from 27 years ago. Maybe 2 if I dig deep enough in the files. Sometimes I think about posting it, but then I listen to it again, and I just can't bring myself to do it. I still love it simply because it was one of my first completed tracks, but man...it's rough.
There are a lot of elements in this track that take me back to when I first started. I do really dig the synth work at 2:05. I like the cutoff/Reso work.
Cool work, man. Thanks for sharing.

crucethus replied 17th Nov 2024 - 1 year ago
Yeah, I have aprox about 200 songs from 98-2004 when I took an 8-year break. Then from 2012 on I embraced Acid Pro and samples. I seem to be falling back into break mode again.

Yeah the DJX had a sequencer and you could record live tracks on it, then dumped it to a Sony MDMX 4 track Minidisc recorder to add more. Finally, it was remastered with modern software.

I used the Yamaha DJX and hooked up to a Atari ST back in 1998.
Made tunes that were going round the demo scene and rave scenes back then.
I loved mine back then and hearing them sounds sound cool.
I love the tune nice work.

27 years? Man u been in the game for a long time. I knew your were old but.... that's almost as old as me lol. Nice tune. I like that synth that comes in about half way through. Actually, for that matter, all the synth work sounds great. Hope you are well and good, Zoot.

idk how to even describe this except awesome, and unexpected. I cant say ive heard anything quite like it. U defineitely take great care in your crafting, im a man of similar practice. I can certainly appreciate the level of craft that went into this. I take great pride in my drums, basslines, and percussion, even though im in a diferent genre, but u definitely should, as well. Take a bow, man. bravo.

Do you remember the "Mind's Eye" series of movies? They started somewhere around '90. A bunch of CGI art films set to music. I think there were three or four of them. Anyhow, this sounds like it could have been made for one of the vignettes. it's kind of cinematic, kind of atmospheric. Not a whole lot of that signature, cleverly disguised dark underbelly in this one. You feelin' alright, man? lol
I think it's funny how many people here have commented on the percussion. It's like, "..uhhh, have you never listened to Crucethus before? There's always killer percs, man." I mean, they're not wrong, though.
Fall is my favorite season as well. At least the last half of it. After the days get short and the weather gets cold.
Anyhow brother, I dig it. It does have a good energy to it. I think fun and funky is a perfect description.
Take care, bud.

Lol, I do like my percussion, and only because that's what moves a segment or phrase along. And yes, not everyone on the loop knowswho I am, I see a lot of new faces, and that's a good thing, and that just means I have to up my game to impress this young lot coming on board. That's how it should be ehh!, I love learning from people younger than me. Don't be a boomer.! I am Gen-X Show me the new Stuf!!!!
