Cool!....like waking up in a dreamscape...I think your studio probably has a few plants in it and I'm guessing their pretty happy about the arrangement.....love that top layer synth line....I dig this music,relaxed,introspective and alive on a multitude of levels...it's also interesting to note that after listening one gets the feeling that they've gained something from the experience and that isn't something you can buy off the shelf,you either possess the ability to impart it or you don't...excellent work! cheers Dave :)

Hey Jamie..I see your still polishing diamonds in the cool end of the zone..a great clean arrangement with your signature audio fastidiousness,love the guitar tonality throughout and the horns really cement the changes to this Jazz/Funk groove..I always love the endings to your tracks! and this one is no exception with a great little flourish that's tight and precise....Feng Shui is a fitting name for this piece as it displays all the harmony and accord one would expect from a dynamically balanced production..Karma plus Kool!..cheers Dave :)

I will always listen to this genre of music! lol..Hey buddy a funk track from the guitar wizard! cool...you even have a "rei" signature bass sound to complement your great six string work....This is very funky and leans heavily into fusion territory as well..super arrangement man!..one to get on the car stereo and pump it up..too long between rei track uploads is my only complaint..but when they come it's well worth the wait!..superb work as on all your creations..loved it!..cheers Dave :)

I'm so tempted to just say hot track! lol....Just kidding,but it is interesting to note that your tracks engender more than a passing reply,and there's a reason for this....Ah yes,I believe in Cosmic recycling,not the obvious reincarnation so much as apportioning due care and diligence to the things we interact with(on the physical plain anyway!)....which brings me to the essence of what I perceive music to be about....being a percussionist amongst other things makes you a very tactile person with a clear understanding of the physical nature of music..it occurs to me that tracks like this effect people on some inner level,possibly within the subconscious I'm not sure....what I do know is that there is a Cosmic reality in music, there's a process at work and funnily enough in this dimension we call home,the fact that ever since the invention of radio the transmitted material of humanity is the only real Cosmic reality that exists physically that we know of..radiating away through eternity in an every expanding weakening sphere of what?..Hell I was only going to review this track not try and square up the mysteries of the Cosmic All!lol..see it's those tribal drums... they make you go crazy! hehe..it is a hot track by the way...cheers Dave ;)

Hey mate..as the youth of today say.."This is fully sick!"lol..seriously man I think you've hit the nail on the head here with the less is more philosophy....all the extraneous trimmings are left by the wayside I perceive for that main beat focus,I like the sub bass swell as well almost like a psychic mirror to the drum beat on occasion...Hip Hop is something I've had to absorb over time..and amazingly against my initial misgivings I've found I like it! lol..just shows you can teach the proverbial new tricks..cheers buddy :)

Hey Bill...while listening to your tracks over the years I've always learnt something and to get the opportunity play on one is an enormous blast..this was like walking into an auditorium with a full Orchestra on hand..which they were!lol....not only do you have the guitar under your able control,you have a Conductor's baton in your hip pocket as well now..even more than that you played all the instruments not just arranged them!....Fusing Classical elements is incredible,no wonder all the big name bands have tried it...your the Maestro! cheers Dave :)

Hey mate,nice job!....this track sort of slides and shimmies with a really infectious beat and crosses quite a few genres in the process,it's always fascinating to hear one's loops used in wild and wonderful new ways,definitely future age tribalism happening here!..I'm sure the vocal additions you add will make this track even more dynamic....very interesting and enjoyable!..cheers planet :)

Really EXCELLENT production!...man(men)it's all happening from a central heavy groove dedicated to the "One" style beat that James Brown made famous but with a more amorphous jazzy style (love that trumpet phrase in there)..then you lay all the Rap flow over it..Wow!...creative is the word made even more so by focusing on the Looperman moniker..that takes skill and style...it's not just some random event but a very sophisticated project....maximum points across the board...very good work guys,definitely in a class of it's own!..cheers planet :)

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 betting 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 :)
