Well I'm dropping in to taste the skank ....and it's mighty fine....I think this is a marvellous example of where an Artist has actually chosen to go back to one of his periods and revisit the experience..the results are spectacular to say the least...it's as if Picasso decided to plunge again into his wonderful 'Blue' era...and share his accumulated experiences yet again but with a manifestly superior technique and intent...Not only does this music represent a watershed of popular performance based bands but also an indicator as to how consummate your grip on the whole musical experience has become....Your work has all the hallmarks from the ground up.....It's Art....cheers dave :)
Great beat..slams in from the word go..no wonder you have to be young and fit to go to a Dance party!....nice bottom end ..I'd call this definitely pumping..with a nice change in the synth line..takes the tempo down for a quick breather...cool work!..cheers planet :)
How good is this!...People that work in chicken factories by and large don't eat chicken...my point being they don't bring their work home with them....Whereas you being a professional musician also have music as your passion...that is an amazing combination and we here at the loop are lucky to hear and experience it first hand....A beautiful track with soul..this stuff just seems to flow out of you..excellent singing that segues into a tasty guitar solo...but when that soprano horn starts all glasses are put down...I do believe that is one of the best introductions I've ever heard of an instrument, all the ground work and preparation for it's arrival almost make it majestic.....simply World class playing......cheers mate :)
Hi Dave, I love chicken! We do a lot of weddings and parties with Jump the Q, anyway there's usually a buffet. After the guests have done their bit, it's then the bands turn to finish it off. One night I ate a whole platter of chicken, there must of been 30 legs, and I ate them all! I felt like Henry the 8th, there I was sat in this wonderful hotel being paid a fair whack, full as a gun. The only problem was this was between sets!!! As you can imagine, my playing in the second set was somewhat foul lol...
Hey Kels...way trippy sound you have happening here....the vocals are superb..love the backing vocals...I'd like the vocals up front a bit more...but that's only a production issue...you have a very new wave sound ..I love this style...cheers planet :)
Hey Curtis.....your tracks are getting better and better..this has real presence and a dramatic feel..the bass line is wicked and you've tied in Slap's sax brilliantly,top notch synth work.....the fades lift the dynamic tension into full on fusion mode....the vocals were a nice touch and lend a cool quality...this really is a great track from your ever expanding musical creativity....great work! cheers Dave :)
Ohh..this is produced so well!....Man I didn't know you could get so many flavours in one dish..tremendous tune!.the little toots of baritone are the icing on the cake..there is so much space for the track to unwind,the definition is superb..I think from a production standpoint this is way up there with your best work..great bass playing and the way you've mixed up the vocals works brilliantly....people are going to listen to this and think Wow, those guys are way good..when they find out it's one dude on his creative lonesome their going to fall over....dis is de best mon!..cheers Dave :)
This is way smooth and has a very professional delivery..I'm no Hip Hop judge but I do know a bit about diction..and the pronunciation is very clear and well articulated..that adds up to a cracker of a track...good music happens when you can get inside the beat and play around with it on your own terms...this whole piece is a prime example of that happening..very good work!..I can get into this..and that's a fact...cheers planet
Haha..hey Curtis nice drumming ..I really dig the feel of this one..it's like your in the drivers seat of the "Drum Kit from Hell"...it's got a pile driving beat too..it's 'wicked'as they say and probably quite dangerous at high volume levels! lol....cheers planet :)...Oh..I forgot to say,excellent production values it sounds very polished
Man I'm putting on my serape' and big hat and hitting the desert for awhile......Haha..this cool vibe may just herald the second coming of the Gadget man....great track guys!..I dig this one...since he's been gone,the place hasn't been the same..you just don't get the same feel good vibes from the youth invasion that's taken place.......someone told me in the forums the other day.."don't trust anyone under thirty"..Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahaha...cheers Dave :)
These are big open sound canvases your creating here...I like the way your separating the frequencies so there's no cross chatter or competition within the mix....a nice fresh production which moves along freely while maintaining a tight groove....excellent work!..cheers planet :)
Haha...you just might take over this site!...very tight arrangement with a spaced out vibe..a bit like "Dragnet" on acid lol..I must say the production of this is first class with a nice reverb tail on the Fx inclusions...very good work..I'm no authority on Hip Hop..but I've come to appreciate it since I joined this site..and this track is way up there...cool!..cheers planet :)
Now this has a touch of some weird Broadway vibe about it...I'm not sure..it's got the patent Mos polish and groove..maybe I'm getting visuals from a big dance scene or something...or the bells ringing I have no idea....but it's giving me flashes of some large production....great work..and very entertaining!..cheers planet :)
I dig the crystal clear tone in this number and the suspended quality of it..it's great!...I bet your Mum loved this piece...with these higher frequency numbers they project a very feminine touch..which on this occasion is perfect...excellent work! cheers planet :)
Very vibey...I like the slow addition of sounds at the start...a slow and steady rhythmical modulation right through this pulsing number..it's quite long but it suits the ambience nicely..are those your vox samples in there?....it's almost a meditative number but with an up tempo groove..great work!..cheers planet :)
Hi Planet
Thanks for the review bud.
No they are not my vox samples but I have been experimenting with my voice and mike, Im slowly getting to grips with making loops but I want to make sure they are quality before I start uploading any.

Whoa....wicked!..I can see we're dealing with an altered musical conceptualisation here...lol...I really like the morphology happening all through this piece..there's a real method to the madness and it shows great control...the ending was a bit abrupt but hey..I got my money's worth!...creative...cheers planet :)
I'm diggin' this one..very good!..way catchy, the fretless bass sounds like it went to the Lou Reed school of medication..and came out with honours!..lol..fantastic wit and humour in an allround great track...cheers planet :)
Laid back and cool...I think the drums need some changes as it's holding everything without letting it go..I'm with Randy as well a bit more bass would be nice....but the chilled out vibes are all there..breezy and introspective....nice!..cheers planet :)
I won't go on about Firefighters..they all deserve a medal...period!.........This track is ripping along with some cool half steps thrown in...having read your description this will be even better when you include some Fx sirens..and general background mayhem....it's a great Techno rhythm..I've heard enough of the various electronic genres to get a fair idea of the different sub classes within it,and this baby is slamming along with all hoses blasting!...cheers mate :)
Yeah, they do. And this is my small way of giving back. Sadly, the track kinda took a back seat to other stuff that's been goin on, but I just emailed Young earlier askin him if we could pick things up again.
As for genres, well, on that one I'm beat. I don't think there's anything that this can fall into accurately. It breathes a life of its own. Just like they do. Glad ya dug it. Later on!
This is very 1969 in a way..but they didn't have synthesizers that could make these sounds back then! lol.I guess it's that ephemeral hippy trippy vibe I'm getting..swinging glass beads and all that.....great stuff!..if you ever perform this,granny glasses and a ponytail are the uniform of the day...cool! cheers mate :)
Cooool! I dunno mate, they could have, because I read that back then (in the infancy of electronica) there was a division. Between actual musicians and scientific computer nerds. On either side you had alotta experimentation going on with sounds. Off hand, I couldn't pinpoint the exact year the soundfont I used was created, but I'm sure that it's creation came about via those experimental years.
As for performances, I'm going to try to keep my shows mostly PG (PG-13 at times & R if I do Rap stuff). So all are welcome in my eyes. Lates mate!
Electronically based noises from the other side....I think...where did you get that wicked sound....it sounds like a synthesizer that's been bored out and oversized pistons inserted!.....very heavy and dominant..I'm not totally versed in House music...but this is liken a TRex....it takes no prisoners...cool work!...cheers planet
thank you very much!
thats what i was goin for! thats one thing that must be said for electronic music, when your instrument is the manipulation of sound waves in their rawest form the products you can end up with are limitless. (bearing in mind i am a rock musician at heart and play guitar and bass religiously =]). As for the noise, you pretty much summed it up, i hollowed it out to its base form and filled the holes with some good old fashioned distortion and bunch of other little tweaks, well worth the extra time spent. It's always rewarding to see someone who is not usually a follower of your genre have appreciation for your work, thank you again planet.
Take care,
TJ
A great tune!...these sort of numbers always go down well with an inebriated crowd...it's a rocker...and the singers got some great presence....haha..some of the change downs remind me of The Greatful Dead in a way......I would have loved to heard this live..way cool dude!...cheers Dave :)
Nice early morning vibes..and I love bird song..it always lends that beautiful natural ambience to a track...great mix with aclear tone...very,very nice ..cheers Dave :)
The vocals are wicked on this..it's a cracker!...I really like the break ups..Initially I felt there was a bit of competition between the music and vocals because they are on similar frequencies..then with a few breaks..I could hear that crazy rhythm you've got going...very cool and heavy!...I've been thinking how you could separate the two more dynamically...maybe more breaks or more compressed musical interludes..whatever...this stuff is mean..I really dig it!...do you get a sore throat?..lol great work..cheers planet
Hey this is an excellent soundscape..with a huge focus that shifts from brooding machinery to a semi sentient rhythm ..the siren is amazing and gives an insane crescendo....I like this sort of audio work it's very visual friendly....great work! cheers planet :)
