Cool!..you got that early surfer craziness going...I really dig that slide into the raw synth wave groove...This reminds me of an Art movement that heavily influenced me..Dada!...it's a real pity all those early originators back in the twenties can't be here to listen to this track,it would blow their minds in a fantastic way...very creative and it really works!!..cheers planet :)

Ahhhh I love the intro...very organic,very tight..beautifully introduced bass melody....I think your music has passed through some sort of barrier into a wonderful new land......the subject matter is obviously drawn from your recollections,dreams and childhood memories..this is why it is so good!..so authentic and so uplifting!.....brilliant work my friend..your an inspiration! ...cheers Dave :)

WOW!.....I love this!..contemporary thinking with traditional instruments laid over a modern lyrical rhythm groove.....WOW!
You have taken the next step Detlef this is huge!...the guitar and birds!..the pizzicato strings!....the tablas!...the horns!...best music I've heard in ages......the birds are Starlings I would know their voice anywhere :)....Brilliant!..the Timpani!...you are a true composer in a very real sense,you play,you create,you make the magic happen!...I really am impressed with this..beautiful on so many levels..inspiring...cheers Dave :)

Well the mixing and recording didn't do you any favours..however I know standing in the room it would have sounded way better and you are belting it out in true Zep fashion..live music always rocks so well done!..cheers planet

Hi Jamie...yeah! that Lady has a decent set of pipes(vocal chords for the sexists reading this!)..;)Any music that transports me has succeeded irrespective of genre,tempo,whatever......I suspect you are going to get the Looper award for smoothness,it's a great hallmark of your style which I suppose is every musicians aim,to achieve a personal sound.....I never get sick of hearing those bright clear optimistic notes and matched here with Farisha's superb vocals your on a winner...excellent piece!...cheers Dave :)

It's always interesting to get the musical slant from a different perspective....I think a lot of people that make loops have actually no idea to the applications that are possible with a bit of creative thought....Tight and solid track,I especially like the Tuba or Wagner Tuben line,it keeps the melody very close to the rhythmic elements...creative work!..cheers planet

Hey man...interesting audio layers in this track,especially the cascading arpeggio line,I like the the unadulterated synth sounds...it's sort of 'pure',harking back to 80's synthesisers,but with an upfront contemporary drum approach.......Like a musical scoop of ice-cream this one is sure to please,especially for a dance crowd me thinks....tres cool..cheers Dave :)

Hey Man....I think you are secretly George Clinton!..we need a DNA test to decide..lol...veeeeery fuuuunky!..I like this big time......I have been fixing my bass(shielding) and computer (black screen)..but I think this funky music works best(my speakers are jumping up and down!)...great music my German friend!
cheers Dave :)

Well I had to come over and sample your wares,unlike most of the reviews you've received I'll endeavour to articulate what I hear ...Being an Anglophile I love the English accent and I must say it works for me better than it's American equivalent within the cadence of Hip Hop..the throw to the sung phrase "being public enemy number one" makes this track,it shakes off any monotony that can insinuate into spoken word pieces....I do like the sonic quality of this piece also,the acoustic guitar is "All along the Watchtower"..but hey that's one of the coolest tracks ever written..so no problems there(lol)..the intrinsic dynamics are the most important thing a track can have and you've got that in spades here..there's a frequency trade off between the vocals,bassline and rhythm elements that meets directly in the middle of the mix giving the whole track a pulsing amorphous feel....possibly this is why I'm led to the conclusion that this track has some commercial potential...after this gets into a real studio for the final polish I wouldn't be surprised if seeing it commercially that I bought a copy!.....very good work, and at the very least this should influence quite a few people that listen to it.....planet

Hey man cool journey with this piece....love those vocal insertions!....a real crossover track if ever there was one,very cool!and well executed..I recently went to a Turkish wedding where the band consisted of three guys,a keyboardist who doubled as the source for the rhythm track,a woodwind player (duduk and other mid eastern pipes),and a bazouki player or the Turkish equivalent...these guys were incredible..I had a long talk with them after the gig,they loved that a non Turkish guy appreciated their music so much,I was blown away by their musicianship,they literally ripped every song they played,traditional music but with a strong upbeat modern tempo not unlike in some areas what your doing here...cheers planet :)

Nice and chill groove with a splendid clean guitar tone...a pro sounding piece....it's always a measure of a player's scope to be able to play on other people's material,what you've done here is tasteful with excellent continuity,fits like a glove...excellent work...cheers planet

Well I've always been a sucker for a funk guitar riff since year dot...great solid funk played how it should be..and that's played,with the emphasis on play not shaken or stirred..cool tight bass line as well..Funktastic!...cheers planet

Hey there Shojo...Great performance with your cousin(does she have a name to share with us?)..a very liberating expressive number which I'm sure will develop into a situation where you sing more and more on your tracks.....when you sing you infuse the human element artistically,and with probably it's most personal function,the voice.....in this regard think of the music as the supporting element and the voice as the main exhibit and the real source of the track's impetuous..one always demurs to the other...so the vocals require greater presence in the mix...as the big bad wolf said "all the better to hear you with"....excellent work and very entertaining!..cheers planet :)

Got a Herbie Hancock type vibe off this one(that is before you started to wail on the git and do those change ups!lol)...nice and tight groove any band worth their chops would like to call their own...great musicianship,excellent work..cheers Dave

Nice one Jamie..I'm ##### these sounds are coming out of a synth module and not a soft synth..they sound fresh and clear..something analogue has over software...and here's me having sold my old DX7,silly me...cool vibes man..smooth and crisp...cheers Dave

Hey Sean...I'm reminded of actually how difficult it is to get natural sounds without any of society's background rumble sifting through......this is like market day down at the spiritual crossroads,with a DaVinci perpetual motion machine powering the groove,there's a synergy and environmentally alert mind set at work here...great application and a pleasure to listen to..cheers Dave

Hey man..very cool indeed....I want a doublebass!lol...I think you have a great style,midway between Jazz and Rock Fusion in that great place where the mystical notes reside....the playing is tight and loose at the same time,lyrical!..as all exponents who know how to play do..an excellent mix as well,superb balance..and you have a big big bass sound!..fantastic work!..cheers Dave :)

Hey man...if Max Ernst was a musician he might have played material like this....Paul Klee would love this..I do!...you've got the avant garde switch turned on well and truly....great drum line!....Brand X were a superb outfit...I like genesis but prefer Brand X! lol..super mate..cheers Dave

I think Mack is the love child of Perry Como..the guy's freaking too good,too smooth!..it ain't natural...That guitar guy Bill obviously is a body snatcher who up until recently was masquerading as Les Paul amongst others...SlapJohnson was created in a test tube somewhere in Harlem in 1969 in an experiment to recreate Charley Parker,something weird happened though and somehow the specimen fell into a mail chute and ended up in Yorkshire.......fact or fiction?..we will never know,the only thing we can be sure about is the music...unlike it's freakishly talented orchestrator's this is no chance hybrid strain,it's the real deal....ambrosia! cheers dudes :)

Haha..this is frikkin cool!..only ##### chic allowed! haha.....you right I feel better after hearing this!.....it's Kitch Hop!,and I mean that in a very good way..I am an instant fan!..cheers planet :)

Detlef...I am so happy I met you and Jamie...making music with you guys is...well it's like a dream! lol...I think this song can stand by itself and project outwards...some facets of it are quite emotional....I'm am proud to be part of this..thank you my friends.......Dave

Hey Jamie...this was great fun to play on..do we get a backdrop of Toucans and luscious bikini clad beauties to play in front of!lol...man when I first heard your lyrical arrangement of this groove I was sold totally..cheers buddy and thanks for letting me be apart of it..cheers Dave :)

Wow Detlef.....a huge sound!..I wish I had a full surround sound system to fully appreciate this...you definitely don't do things in half measures..the balance and quality of the sound timbre is outstanding..it's very contemporary yet steeped in traditional orchestral sensitivities...this would be so cool to play live,a real musical happening......you are on the tight rope of creativity,yet there is no chance of you falling off and you work without a safety net!...quite sublime..I think this will definitely influence me...cheers Dave

Here we go..put your helmets on folks you just know this track isn't going to take any prisoners....Bloody hell Bill..are you practising for a stadium gig?...great change up man...lots of dudes like to guitar chug...but nobody does it better than you..it's engine room stuff and I'm glad you left the door open enough so some of the orchestra could get inside!....wonderful work bro...you put all the muso's in their place every time1..cheers Dave :)

Hehe..I dig this..funky and funny with a great groove...people think I'm down on Hip Hop,that ain't the case at all..I just like good ish that's all...and this definitely qualifies..another thing worth noting is you guys are really picking up speed,you've got a great balance happening between your vocals...as has been muttered in the 70's..it's a happenin thang...cheers dudes
