Dude! That intro is already so good. Very atmospheric and even a bit spooky. Draws you right in and makes you want to follow along. Then when the beat starts 45 seconds in (and it doesn't feel that long at all) it feels completely natural. The guitar caught me unaware but of course it fits!
The end comes to early for me and I think I wanted that last chord to sound out longer. What do you think?
Good morning. It was exactly what I needed to start the day. A very powerful track, built with wonderful elements and sounds. The combination of analog instruments with electronic ones has always been one of my favorite blends. You created a strong Organic House piece, with the right progression of intensity and emotion, everything placed exactly where it should be. Perhaps, right around the 1:00 mark, you could slightly adjust the timing of the two pulse emotions, at the point where one enters into the other. That was actually one of the parts I liked the most. It is only a tiny detail I noticed it because I first listened through the monitors and then listened again with headphones. Amazing work, my friend!
With appreciation,
Chris
So the 1:00 min mark is a carefully planned counter rhythm method I have used before. If you noticed, the resulting combo almost gives you a "running up that hill" 16-beat cadence. But thank you for the props. I have loved Analog and electronic ever since Ultravox! (Jon Fox, not Midge) and Gary Numan days.
Thats some cool funky bass. Nice work on keys too.
Overall really nice track, you could extend it a little more, it is really interesting listen. Cheers!
nice work Steven electro jazz with plenty of swag going on, the bass is redhot,its got bounce and the synth work is top notch, great layout and sound production too mate, this was a pleasure to listen to as all your work tends to be, its great to see you around still doing what your good at, nice upload bruv
Thanks Mate. I was able to record this one 26 years ago on a Sony MDMX minidisc recorder (4 track) and recently mastered it in Acid Pro. I love the Korg MS2000 as a synth and especially as a Bass instrument with modulation and pitch wah.
Woah man, I'm loving this one. Atmospheric and ethereal but going somewhere too. Super slick! I could listen to an extended mix no problem. Cheers Chris.
A very powerful track. The bassline froggie is fantastic, and the keyboard parts are flawless. As always, my friend. Very well arranged and perfectly balanced. I really enjoyed it.
Steven! Genius employing the Froggie on the synth bass lol! So the driving 4 with the ethereal background def works for me. Those keys tho! You worked this and then some. So you've done it again! Really good music.
Hello Steven,
Long time no hear but glad I listened in, WOW!! you certainly have not lost your Midas Touch, this track is dare I say, Stunning! but then your work was always one to watch and always a fantastic listen, this is a plethora of amazing sounds that rejuvenate the senses no end. Much Enjoyed. Bravo! it's always a fave.
Steven that beat is slamming! Ambient that drives the CRU way. So ok you got me at 2:10! Bass/drums/fire percussion! What more could I want? Sax? Toads on the Mike exit? Thank for my evening music fix!
chug a chug chug cool man i like it if you had not sent me that link i would not of been able to reference it but you got it pap on my man good to hear your music again masa cru :)
Always on the lookout for new and fresh sounds. You, my friend, should be proud of how far you have come and how great your music sounds. I know I am proud of you. One day you will become the massa!
Great track, spooky in places. Is that second section microtonal? I've been listening to those crazy Canadians too! Very creative and great sounding piece you made here. Cheers Chris.
I appreciate that, sometimes it waxes and wanes. After starting a new position almost 4 years ago, I finally had some PTO after being a consultant. And I needed that to reset.
Hello! This is an interesting track, it's like ambient with some other genres on the top of it in different parts, like the drums in proper metal style, and then techno / acid - good creativity!
Hi Steve!
Good to hear a cool one from your lab after a long time!
The well-known progie sound as just you can do it ... that rockish drums from 0.40 is outstanding ... it made my rocker heartbeat ... :-)
welcome back, hope all is well with you ...
fistbump,
Danke
Danke, I missed you guys. 8 months. No inspiration, but then these two lads from Saguenay, Quebec, made me realize what I have done, and what I am capable of is still relevant.
