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,
Micky
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
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.
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.
Aaron
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!!!!
Cullen Skink Yuk lol we actually live about 20 miles from cullen scotland is one of the most beautiful placed in the world with a rich rich history just our neighbours down the road that puts the spoils on that.
Yer a Strange craitur fer a scott ehh? Fit a loon! Yer Poots over Cullen Skink, Whiskey. Yah needs ta tern en yer Tartan lad. K. That's the best I can muddle here. I agree I have seen some astounding videos in the North East. Portknockie and Buckie look beautiful
I would love to visit one day when I have the means and the time.
im not even gonna mention everything good, its already been said, but them percs are sic love the guitar work too, your work is always next level Steven, always a wonderful listen , great soundscape, and the funky vibe is right in the pocket, well done mate
Thanks Mate. When I first made this, thought it was trash. Played it for my wife, she kind of liked it, the more Iistened It grew on me, so I put it on here. Whats weird sometimes is when you make something that you think is awesome and great and no one likes it, and when you make something you think is awful, people respond positively. Life is funny sometimes ehh! Art is subjective. Take Care.
great sounding layers and soundscape. i love your intro and how you handled that distortion with a well balanced filter action. transition like butter with those Kraftwerk pluck sounds. those rhythm guitar parts sound creamy dreamy, what did you use on those parts. later you dropped some stuttered delayed guitars, catchy af and decision well made, those are great inspiration. you were always good in mixing but holy cow you get better,its juicy in the eq and clear with all your layers and well compressed. love from a banana
Thank You Thank You Thank you, you have great ears for a Banana mate! I love adding diversity into music. You have described it really well. I look at Sheffield bands like Rolo Tomassi, and see how they seemingly move between Dissonant, Cookie Monster voice, and then clean vocals and a pop sound. I try to bring that genre-busting inclusion to my music. Otherwise, I get bores. Thanks so much
As a few others have already mentioned those percussions and bass line are so good lol. I love the funk aspect you got going on in this and I love the mood change from the intro to middle sections and outro!
Fantastic intro. The percussion is awesome in this. I love the layers and density of it towards the end. Second positive vibration track I've listened to this morning, the first being cyberflares one. It's good to hear happy music!
Aye Mate! Strangely I made an Uplifting tune, and so did you. Been Watching a YouTuber from Aberdeen (Steve Marsh) saw some awesome footage of Inverness, Faroes, Shetland and Orkneys, and some delicious Cullen Skink in Cullen. I really appreciate North Eastern Scottish culture. You have some awesome music and some Luv'lie tasty food.
very cool groovy you got here Steve ... around 1.05 that bass funk is outstanding and those guitars later ... hell knows King Crimson's feeling flashed tilm listening this track ...
hats off,
Danke
Ahh Crimson. I heard Daryll Hall and Robert Frip do Babs an Babs in a live take recently, what a treat. Robert Fripp is amazing ehh! https://youtu.be/6PAHYXc3gcw?t=227
