Hi Mizmee..my first exposure to your material....I think I've been irradiated!lol..well you do have a radiant voice...Wow,a real eye opener,the music and mix are great and more importantly they support superbly the vocal performance..and what a voice!..super impressive..poise,sustain,pitch control and above all feeling...without trying to sound too ingratiating you just won yourself a new fan...excellonto on all counts..cheers Planet :)

Hey Ern..saw the Eman on the loop..seems like ages since I've checked your material..I think the verboten zone around you has evaporated don't you think(if there ever was one,but you know what I mean)....cool groove with plenty of MrE present,but then it would be wouldn't it! lol...cheers mate Dave

Hey Bud..Damn man I'm sitting inside the bass drum tripping almost!...reminicent of the more melodic offering from Captain Beefheart..Jeez mate,you can really get inside this music or it gets inside you...totally in your face but from the vibration and offbeat side of things...very much "Head" music..back in the day I'd be toked up while listening to this and say "yeah put that back on for sure!" lol..love this stuff, major thumbs up to Scott,Chris and yourself...cheers Dave

Ahhh....Detlef the Monk,somehow I can't see you taking any vows of celibacy! lol..I really dig this man..it shifts into an ethereal electric groove,you always place your guitar sound so well within your tunes,your a one man Pink Floyd (but better!)...your music is always very inspirational....thanks for the great music my friend!...cheers Dave :)

Hey Dext..cool beats man!I'd say this is crossing over into world music territory,whatever the genre I dig the way the vibe lays back and lets the vocals ring out,if anything there needs more of her splendid voice (like about 2 hours! lol)..well produced with that DextDee polish you can see(and hear)your face in!...cheers Dave

Hey mate...I'm liking this groove..plus it's great to hear a drum track on it's own and also give a good demonstration of the program...I use a lot of drum machine programs and always love inserting my own samples into their patterns..I have Izotope's iDrum is this the same?..Sounds like it might be...probably one of the best and easiest to use rhythm programs out their,which is a big plus,there's nothing worse than having to spend up to weeks mastering a program and then find your creative juices have stopped flowing!lol....definitely a cool groove box. cheers Dave

I actually have driven through Paris in a sports car! lol...unlike Marian Faithful who I could have sworn was initially singing this song!...There's heaps of influences running here,Jeez if I close my eyes Big Brother and the Holding Company float across the stage amongst others...cool stuff Marie! and cooler still that it's a Blues number,for some weird reason that genre hardly gets a look in these days..more power to you!..I dig it..cheers Dave :)

I would imagine the hint of Hip Hop was generated by incumbents with their 'A' levels judging by the sophisticated sound! lol..seriously though,I really like this groove,mellow funk I would call it..and yet again we are faced with the hopelessly inadequate genre list,I understand why you chose fusion..however thats like categorizing Modern art under contemporary art...mind you my idea of what fusion represents probably is antiquated by now...sorry for the rant,odds are the upcoming changes will happen sometime after I expire from holding my breath!..cheers Dave

Hey Ron,gutsy performance!..man you've got nowhere to hide when your going direct!..whoa what a great take!full of all the emotive energy anybody could possibly wish for in an acoustic set..it's very symptomatic of the covers you do that they always become "yours" and not just a motion....no doubt wherever your gigging the people are digging it big time...excellent man,heartfelt and true...cheers Dave :)

Hey Paul...great track man!..super punchy and funky,excellent vocals with a built in tag that can't be ripped off,don't know why I mentioned that thought,guess it's because of all the whining the Looperman HH crew do! LOL..I've always liked your style and delivery,reminds me somewhat of early Beastie Boys,maybe it's the Old School vibe!..all I know for sure is material that I like and this stuff fits the bill....very tight and very cool!...cheers Dave

Hey Vicen..strong performance man..I familiar with Spanish history and some of it's political saga's..always great to get a perspective from an insider especially a musical one!...The lyrics fit seamlessly within this rocking groove,super!...and very much appreciate the English translation for monolingual dummies like myself! lol...cheers Dave :)

Hi mate..first visit to your page,G'day!..this has a very Film Noir intro to it,which is cool...then it slips into a more traditional groove..it's interesting listening to this,twenty years ago I would have said the drums are way too loud! lol..but everyone's perception of where the beat belongs has changed,including mine I might say..I like it!..the end notes need to be strung out a little more with some long tailed reverb and fade maybe..it was a little abrupt(a very small critique) .. nice one!..cheers Planet

Cool oriental motif running through this piece...an excellent vocal presence,you've obviously put a lot of work in on this track,it's got depth and polish...I think your starting to get up onto the level where you can compete commercially,I have no doubt if you were afforded time in a state of the art studio the finished product would really turn a few heads...excellent work by all involved!...cheers Dave

I like this track,I wasn't sure what direction the music was going in initially,but that was because it was listed under "Spoken Word" and I'd set a mental agenda for it....a cool progression musically and visually..The lyrics or prose are great,though to me this is an opening stanza for a larger work,you have the advantage of being able to successful vocalize your written material,not many people can pull this off and still retain the work's subtleties....writing is a capricious beast,unlike music which in many cases hides behind a facade of detachment..when you write it's a window far clearer than any assortment of notes can ever be...but you know all this. cheers Dave

Hey Steve....Jeez man,is anyone in your family bereft of musical ability?..fat chance!lol..This is so on another level since I first heard it,Fiona as they say is the icing on the cake to a superb track.....I love the guitar work especially at play here but there's no doubt the added sensitivity Fiona brings with her vocals puts this track probably as "the single" on the album..do they still do that?..pick a track for 'single' designation...I think I'll only be able to decide when I get the CD and play the whole album start to finish,which will be great!(5 copies would be maximo appreciato compardre)..cheers Dave :)

Crazy man!...You've got a great set of pipes,and this is my only criticism of this super track..Bring the vocals forward in the mix!lol..people always tend to back off with their own voice levels(strange but true)...seriously fantastic track buddy,Baritone Sax is one of my fav sounds and when it's incorporated into your trade mark horn section it blows me away...bass line is wicked!...ahh the WahWah pedal..do you realize I'm a certified WahWah repair man (in my own lunch box that is)lol..give the modulation pot a good squirt of crc,rp7 or whatever brand penetrating spray into it's innards with the extension tube and the thing will be like new.....nuff said...super FunkoRhythmic vibes!!..cheers Dave

Hey Larz..cool piece...sort of Zen'd out there while listening! lol....the intensity builds in this which is great,always better to be moving within the music...introspective with good vibes happening throughout...I dig it!..cheers Dave

Hey JW...big sounding tune you have here man!..Stephanie's pella fits perfectly,I'm not usually an Autotune fan but because of the instrumentation happening within the track her voice effectively "plays" itself seamlessly...a very "up" piece that's way enjoyable..careful or the cast of Glee might rip it off! lol(it does have a commercial sound,which is a very hard thing to achieve believe me,I've never been able to do it!)...excellent production! cheers Dave :)

Let the boy do it!...is that the vocal stab I can hear?..if so that needs to be the title of this track!lol (apropos of Alexander's presence)...Man(men)what a lyrical funk feast this is....you know after I listen to one of your tracks the next day or something,I'll be walking along or whatever and suddenly one of your riff's will go dah,dah,dah,dahdeli,dah in my head!..this is so much better than having an ABBA chorus loop in your brain endlessly like what used to happen in the 70's!...no doubt scientists have a perfectly rational explanation for this phenomenom...the music sounds like a drop of mercury sliding around a plate,people will love it....super musicianship!...ahhh the formative years of brilliance come to mind! lol...cheers Dave :)

Ahh yes...I'm a big Tolkien fan if that's where 'Kili' came from...beautiful,emotive track I suspect there is some sadness attributable to this production...excellent,poignant track.....and we all move on..life is strange,there is rhyme and reason we just can't grasp it yet...cheers Dave

Cool man!..got a slightly jazzy undertone that really floats my boat..excellent bass line..fully sick as the saying goes!hehe..I do like the way this winds throughout,top shelf groove glitch!..also you did an exemplary job in your track description,giving full props to the loop maker(s) where applicable is very cool....Excellonto!..cheers Dave :)

Man this is great!..made even better by the use of the vocalist's native language(I hate lip service to English when the dude(s) performing speak another tongue)..Damn the drums are totally mint!..Definitely needs to be longer but as you've stated you were baking hot! lol..nothing beats people getting down and doing real music with real sweat!...excellent work! very impressive!..cheers Dave :)

Hey man..I dig this track,the bass line fits it like a glove..it's got a forward questing attitude that picks up the synth and other elements in it's wake and just grooves along...cool tune literally! hehe..cheers Dave :)

Hey mate...sorry to hear about your bike accident compromising your bass playing,bummer!....Cool track with a funky groove..Jeff Beck is a fav of mine and I can hear some of his tone bouncing around here...like that breakdown!..cool track with alot of funky legs!..cheers Dave :)
