Hey Buddy....Great sound straight off the bat Rei!...superbly balanced sound....your guitar riffs are just magically floating underneath that strong bass line,interspersed with harmonically rich keyboard fills..I think this is the perfect mixing template and very reminiscent of Bilbozo's production skills..there's a real frequency continuity..it has....Pizazz!..a life of it's own...excellent track man,totally together and not surprisingly..your one of my favourite muso's!..cheers Dave :)

Hey man..a Rhodes always gets that blue note...quite a sensitive vibe you've got going on here,I also like the sparseness within the composition,it gives a very real quality to the performance and sounds "Live"...my only quibble is the very last note,it just cuts off abruptly,if you extend it with some fading delay it'll sound better I think.....whimsically dark with a little sadness thrown in..sweet! cheers planet :)

Hey Damien...cool vibe man!I'm glad your getting some airplay with this piece..I like the circular swell happening through the arrangement...I'm not surprised this is getting radio exposure, it's got a commercial feel to it and great production values...the very last note cuts off abruptly..I'd lengthen that with a little ping pong delay.(lol,couldn't help myself,always the critic!)..I'd stick with this 'commercial' type sound for awhile..and don't take me tagging it commercial as a criticism,it's completely the opposite..it's a very difficult thing to get your sound compartmentalised into an acceptable package that stations will play..more power to you man!..cheers Dave :)

Hey Slap...I was at the Melbourne Zoo (which is also a fantastic facility) with my sister and her kids,anyway we're in front of the monkey enclosure (one of them) and my young nephew asks "what are they doing"..I promptly reply 'Shagging'..he turns to me and in all seriousness asks "what's shagging?"..I turn to my sister and say "lets go look at the Elephants,that's a safer bet" lol
Man your really hitting your straps now,this sounds great!.such a rich sonic experience and the fx's are way cool..superb playing..that's really a byword in any of your material.
cheers Dave :)

Great expressive touch with marvellous pianoesque overtones...spiritual vibe with some great chorded sections...the world loves a good musician and your definitely one of those...cheers Planet :)

Hey Mate..my friend zappo gave me a heads up to your presence..Far freaking out!..another disciple of the four stringed genie...love the fluid style Mark..wonderfully rich and harmonically super cool..welcome to the Loop..great to hear another bottom end merchant!..cheers Planet :)

You have been very busy musically....these symphonic pieces are some of my favourite examples of your work...they take flight and soar...I think you would be an excellent musical Director in many areas,Cinematography,Theatre,Dance to name a few.....superb work very exceptional!...cheers Dave :)

Hey Detlef..one of my favourite musicians....you!
The playing is full of light and energy and radiates a nurturing spirit...just like the sun!...beautiful guitar and great keyboard playing!.......you are the musical solar system!..cheers Dave :)

Diggin this one Steve!....Man I think you've got new strings on that bass of yours,there's a great high end chime coming through on top of the growl....Super track,I don't know if it's the track description and I'm politically hallucinating but there's this African tenure running through it,got to be the poly rhythms maybe....I'll leave other people to comment on the mix,I just dig what's going on..this is way progressive,it's like a chemical reaction..it's on fire! lol..bloody creative groove that makes you want to invest in a pork pie hat factory......many of the great musical styles have come out of the UK..dare I say this is one more!...cheers Dave :)

This is epic!...man this is a great piece of work...in fact this is where the uninitiated get to hear classic fusion in progress....There's a misconception amongst certain members here that I dislike HipHop,nothing could be further from the truth I just don't like #####....Ok enough with the preliminaries...On top of a throbbing orchestral groove which is harmonically rich and fluid you've laid down a virtual non stop vocal journey,succinct, emotive and delivered with a cool breathy style it ticks all the boxes of the top shelf area within the urban style..however it gets even better,introducing a counterpoint chorus with Mhyst's superb vocals takes this joint into the "way good to unreal zone"..there's a melding happening within the listeners consciousness,this doesn't happen very often...brilliant collaboration which as intimated will only get better with the final production......I'm a fan! cheers planet :)

Frank Zappa's daughter Moon Unit did something called Valley Girl if I remember correctly..do they still exist in Cali? (I've never met one) lol..Interesting sound,it's very sine wave oriented isn't it,your voice sounds great,I bet you can sing as well... I know this is a genre that I've only heard a few times so forgive me if I'm out of line...I think the sound overall is a little too room based presence without any distance....maybe it's just the up front synth that dominates everything...it's well put together and judging by the reaction a cool tune..cheers planet

Hey bruva u bin walkin on de homie side of de streetz or sumthin!
Man this is better than great!...talk about a crossover for you,it's superb!..no other word for it.....A heavily accented urban beat right up in front of the mix means we're in Hip Hop territory and like the best this genre has to offer it's the perfect vehicle for vocals,Ciera Corr doesn't disappoint...with just the right amount of autotune to give her voice the contemporary sheen aficionados of this style love...but the real icing on the cake here is the guitar playing and arrangement,tastefully composed and articulated at every beat the listener is taken from Rock through Metal and deposited in a wide open vibrant soundscape....professional world class music...this has made my day Bill!....cheers Dave :) ps..I think you should categorise this as Hip Hop rather than Rock if for no other reason than to show that crowd how to do it! =7)

Hey Sean..long time no data! lol..So this is Dubstep...personal tastes aside it's reminiscent of grime but then I've never really heard enough of both genres to be definitive..I've always liked Mhyst's voice and the synth line you've made is interesting,for a finished track I think it needs more maybe some electronic flavours shadowing the growl to give it another layer or two....but as you say in your description it's for a school project,which by the way is a great thing to undertake..I have no doubt when your finished the course you'll be kicking musical butt all over the place!...cheers Dave

How did I miss this one!...Damn this is great!..you've got the classic purple atmosphere vibe going here,which I might add is what Jazzers strive for...I love the bass line,definitely hitting the blue notes!Elephant guitar! yeah great..there is no better sound than an off volume note pushed up,this is a very skilful ability that not all guitarists have let alone know about(using a volume pedals is cheating! must be done with the little finger lol)..it just blends so well,this is a superb composition with excellent vision..downloading straight into my mp3 player..Excellent!..cheers Dave

Hahahahahahahaha..Jamie that is a very good description!lol.....this is a great mix and the levels sound great,it's interesting when I hear one of your tracks I try and put a face to the guitar parts..now I've listened to a lot of Larry Correll over the years and he plays a 335 pretty much exclusively I'm guessing (and I've drooled over your guitar quiver in your profile pics) your not dissimilar...the jazz tones could very well be this axe as well...you know I really am guessing here because you have two jazz boxes as well...I can tell single coil quack from a mile off so the Fenders are out...but you've also got a Les Paul and we all know what Dimeola can get out of that...please put me out of my misery and put a guitar face to your great tone! lol....a fantastic mix of uptempo smooth grooves that push the envelope into Jazz,Latino,Samba and R&B...you have the deft touch mate...cheers Dave :)

Well whatya know this is a cool tune too! lol(I like continuity)...you know Delta you've got a marketable voice,whatever anybody ever says about your music just keep doing your thing....I don't give a toss about whether we're proto aliens or what..but I always like good music in any shape or form and you've got it happening here....cool stuff man cheers planet :)

ElectroHop!... hey man this is my first exposure to your work..and I'll tell you right now within a nano second I was into it..Man you have a great vocal presence,articulate,keyed in,interesting and smooth....irrespective of a song's genre I always judge it on it's merits and there's a lot of boxes being ticked here...the joint is cool with an uncomplicated and catchy melody..the perfect vehicle for vocals..that's why this baby gets the seal of approval...you just got a new fan dude...cheers planet :)..oh and big ups to Steets of Neon excellent production!

Smooth production man....I was wondering how I was going to relate the description of this track to just the music,then the vocals kicked in!....I dig the whole vibe here,it's balanced yet dynamic at the same time....a tricky subject and painful for many,but you've both kept to task and delivered something that's heartfelt yet at the same time is not drowning in it's own self pity...great work!..cheers Dave :)

Hey Daniel...very nice!this track definitely has heart....a beautiful whimsical vibe suffuses throughout melodically,structurally and productively.....great touch on all instruments,the lead guitar work is perfect!..and I've got to say the drumming is cool...man the number of times I've sat down on a kit and tried to get it together is legion,it's very very difficult for musicians such as guitarists,keyboard players,etc to get drumming right..you use totally different parts of your brain..so big ups for getting the groove down so well!....very enjoyable listening experience...this is the goal..you are there! cheers Dave :)

Hey Men....Whoa! totally riffed out,this is crazy cool....hell the bass line is wicked!...tres chic,it's about time some television network picked up one of your tunes for a cop serial or something..then you'd start getting the proper kudos your music deserves,and you'd be getting paid by the second as well! lol...ok as far as the sound,I know this is a rough mix..love the bass levels,not keen on the very high cymbal frequency,prefer the sheen taken off that a tad,and like one reviewer has already pointed out..adding something like a huge bass drum hit on the drum accents might add a bit more oomph...but these are purely arbitrary observations,I'm sure that when the song list for this album nears completion you'll have hit on the mastering template your looking for and the continuity will be seamless.....you guys do and always will....Rock! cheers Dave =7)

I'm actually familiar with these guys....and I agree with Humpy,this is way cooler....a really pro sound without any extraneous padding....just the ingredients for a solid hit! lol... have a happy and safe New Year over there in Crow land mate...cheers Dave :)

Nice minimalistic sound!...the space between chords sometimes gives rise to the "it factor" I think this tune has it,not too busy,not too overly complicated...it's just perfect as a vocal vehicle....I'm just imagining what some psyched up rapper could do with this and then maybe drop a little super compressed bass note on the start of the bars....another cool sounding composition...cheers Dave :)

Hey my man...SchmeeJible (we really should be on a first name basis by now,lol)..my first thought here is super solid,no gaps and it up,way up....it's interesting listening to music made by a professional DJ..you'd expect a really slick tight intro,total continuity throughout and that's exactly what's delivered..just like stepping off the curb,there's no time wasted or a honeymoon period where the song has to grow on you....the musical cab has pulled up and off you go...there's a vocalist somewhere that's going to excel on this groove,I just hope he or she can hook up with you...excellent joint (as the Hip Hop crowd say!)great production values and above all fun!...cheers Dave :)

Hey Marie..great to see you as a member of the Loop!.(hopefully you are the same Marie I've seen in the Mix chat room! lol)...you really have a great voice!so many vocalists these days try and do way too much,warbling all over the place....whereas your delivery is excellent,well focused with proper diction and a timbre that adds rather than subtracts from a song's natural ambience..speaking of which Joyfull and Waper have done a fantastic job as well.......the trouble here is I'm a total Anglophile...I love the rhythmic cadence of the British style,it must have something to do with traditional folk influences maybe...anyway I look forward to hearing more of your splendid work in the future..and welcome to the Loop!...cheers Dave/planet

Very nice work here Detlef!...I seriously need to make some new music soon(been too busy with life's little crises and chores)..but I always get inspiration when I listen to your music every time!...you are serious,yet your not..it's loose and it's tight...you are drunk and you are sober...you are straight and you are stoned! lol....love your expressive style and very nice bass lines!.....the Zappo fan club is growing! hehe...cheers Dave :)
