Cool!...been awhile since I've heard some Metal on the loop....good drum line through the middle eight...I like a song that chugs ..you've put together a great track vocally and musically..cheers planet
I think I might have said this before...we need a Scriptique track balloon that goes up when you upload a new track...The occasional bottom end from the thunder only accentuates the wonderful passage of this little piece of musical theatre...It must be part of not being able to create music like this that enchants me with it...but that's not the whole story...it can stand by itself and probably will endure long after contemporary styles have gone the way of all flesh....I listen..I like..I learn cheers planet
Oh haha you are too nice planet! Thanks for these very very kind words, I am truly humbled to have received such a review from a talented musician such as yourself. Thank you!
Ahh..I can see that Bill and I will have to get a pork pie hat each! lol....Great singing!..it's really interesting to get in early on the production process and then see what develops...this piece has a lot of influences in it..Bill's guitar lends a very interesting almost psychedelic vibe so this technically could be Skadelic music!..hehe..I think we're going to have to clone you if we ever want to play live..the drums are great on this track,sometimes one of the trickiest things to get right.......sounds great..mixing 24 tracks is a huge task!.....great stuff man cheers Dave :)
Hey Johnny great to see you back in the drivers seat with a tasty blues tune dedicated to none other than your better half Rita...Cool!..I love the harp...(would really like to get the hang of it myself..can't figure out the breathing in change ups though! lol)..this tracks got that nice deep Gadget baritone vocal measure a sure fire mood setter in any application...it's also good to hear some good old honest Blues again,anybody could be forgiven from thinking this place has turned into Hip Hop town..but I digress...long live the Gadget Music Factory..viva! cheers planet :)
And then to top it off as if it couldn't get any better a back to back review from the planet man himself! Whoooo Hooooo!!!!!
"God I love this stuff!"
Thanks planet! .....................G.
You had me a bit worried man..Long time no see.....Killer!..the old ripping Rock Meister is back with another trade mark monster rocker....Guitar is your forte no doubt about it....excellent man...I like this as much as I'm happy to see you back!....cheers planet :)
Very nice touch...haha ..had to laugh at the string situation..happens to every dude that ever picked up a guitar...I do love than bit of Jazz thrown in...you can play these phrases in any situation and they will always sound good....cool stuff!...cheers planet
thanks for the positive review man :) just gotta think about what your playing in jazz...all the modes and scales and shizzle are some complicated stuff..but when you get your head around the chords and think what mode or scale will fit over them...thats when you can play all them licks you have stored up :)
cheers man..p.s...i hate the solo solo bad haha I NEED TO GET PAID TO GET NEW STRINGS ARGH! lol
Hey Cool!...is there no genre you don't do..this is way Skanky Dread..I don't know what Jersey looks like but he's coming across as some dread lock lookin' dude but streetz!...this works very well it's got flava...and there's good syncopation within the space the lyrics occupy...I suppose it's a crossover track ..it's not rap and not funk...I'd say it rock's but that's not appropriate as well....Skanky Dread then for me..way good..very enjoyable..cheers
Haha...just got the GSN track...had to come and check out the vibe again and see what's required man...A throbbin' bobbing beat by all accounts..lol..freakin' wicked track man!..:)
Ahh....so this is banging Techno..cool!..I really like that change up to the quicker tempo....pretty frantic.. has a very stop action photographic quality about it...wicked bass line with a heap of great stabs...Holly's vocals have been used very cleverly...interesting production great work! cheers planet
Thank you so very much for your review! sorry It took so long to get back to ya but ive been getting ready for my wedding which is on May 9th, and also I have alot of big things going on with my music if you want to see what I mean check out these GZP links, and while your there start a profile and tell them I sent you, put my e-mail address in the slot where it asks you " how did you find us"

Very cool and mellow......sounds like a strat neck position single coil to me..hehe..sorry I just got one myself and I love thinking I can pick out tonal variations lol......I love the way the ocean sample blends with the guitar phrase...I think you could expand this into a great song....love the vibe cheers planet
haha well i do have a strat...but its not used in this song lol its my takamine acoustic all the way through this song :p ye i want to expand it but im waiting for the day to come where i get an decent idea..i just dont wanna ruin it :p p.s. Strats are great! what one you got?
Ahhh..this is great!..way cool vibe! I love that comb or whatever it is being pulled across the strings..very creative both melodically and compositionally....I think when you create something that inspires a thinking result you've created art....In this case I was enjoying the tune and thinking ..oh yeah..he's doing that and then doing those volume swells while adding this....very cool listen..excellent work...cheers planet
ye i had a creative streak on one of the countless sleepless nights. thanks for the comment buddy! personally i didnt think it was that great..but a few other ppl into tech and music production do!..makes me happy haha thanks again for the comment!
Hehe...HellSpawn Disco Music...farout!..this is way trippy,with this cranked and pumping through a huge house system..the crowd would go apeshit to that bottom end..especially as the lyrics float right on top of it and deliver....excellent track..what I really dig is that I know this gear can be played live...even better that you did it in the morning..proves my theory...if your a Muso your wired 24/7..cheers planet :)
Hey man..that's pretty cool you can borrow(or steal!) a guitar from your neighbour!..I've always loved Punk.. either playing it or listening to it..Love in your face gear..This is a great track..lets face it everyone thinks this sooner or later..it's so true!..I think I might of said this before,you've got a voice with presence and just the right attitude to use it with effect..even without your cool playing I think you could give it a shake as a vocalist frontman...smashing!..cheers planet :)
haa :) thanks planet.. and thanks for the encouragement.. i've been thinking its about time i start singing with lux too.. o and i still have that guitar in my house..hehe
Hey mate....cool instructions!..hehe..I've heard a bit of hardcore lately and this track is way out in front of the pack...some dudes think just because they up the tempo that's all they need to do...the rules of musical composition apply irrespective of the genre...and you haven't taken any short cuts here...a great synth lead that's bouncing off the bass line with creative twists and turns at every bar...I think if you drive to this it's going to get you a speeding ticket..or several!..excellent production..this is going off!..cheers Dave :)
thanks mate....Sorry to say I forgot to mention to wear your seatbelt! I was happy with the wqy the bass and synth work with each other too.
Cheers,
Trax
Far-out!...Hell man this music speaks to me on so many levels...not only is the 'Western' one of my favourite movie genre's but I love that Spanish march electric guitar style..it's the foundation and influence to so much music that I grew up with and still listen to today.....a great sounding production that's too good for a Spaghetti Western...we're talking 'One Eyed Jack's' and "The Law and Jack Weight" here...super work Randy..cheers Dave :)
Happy to see you check out my western tune. I don't do many of these types, but I enjoyed making this one. Not really complicated, but effective I think. I had to close it out with 'gunshots' as I felt there had to be an ending. Who dies? I don't know, but could be both guys. Whichever way you want it to come out in your own mind. haha
Thanks for the nice review, I'll check out some more of your tunes as well.
Randy
Man...how cool is this! I hope when you perform this gear your wearing one of those cool pork pie hats....and a tight black suit!...super rhythm construction,no one can do it like you...plus when you take a solo the whole track shimmies and shakes...Hell man I've seen a lot of bands in this country try and add a Horn section and get that "Cookin' sound"..none of them comes up to the top of your socks...Bloody marvellous work..and then you add in your superb post production skills...this all adds up to Sonic Mastery...cheers Dave :)
Hey Niel...Heavy track!....somebodies been dropping peyote I think or your interface has a dimensional circuit built into it lol...I think this is placed in the wrong genre though...I'd categorise this as Bent Rock...The Osmonds now that's Weird...or Cliff Richards that's about as Weird as you can get!.....cool stuff from the Space Zone ...cheers Dave :)
it's a short track but you are right it is heavy by the laws of physics all things in space have greater mass. lol. have you not been on holliday somewhere cool? i'll be waiting for some pictures! Thanks for desifering my construct! neil
Thirty thousand feet is a cool place to be in a jet...being at 26,660 feet on top of Nanga Parbat without oxygen is a whole different proposition...one of the most dangerous places to be on the planet...Hehe see what mentioning altitude does to me...I have no idea what House music is apart from a vague suspicion that it has nothing to do with being only played indoors! lol..I like the bass line going down here it's got that low down stalking quality that always pleases me...some of the fade outs and ins seem a bit long for me..but as I say I'm a newbie to "House"...I always get the impression that these type of grooves are designed for people that(lowers voice)....take drugs lol...being a sceptical guy I see all rave parties,gatherings,blah,blah,blah as excuses for the youth of today to get out of it..hehe...cool stuff dude cheers Dave :)
You know what's funny. I've never been afraid of enclosed places at extreme heights. Its just when I'm out in the open standing near the edge (or on a ladder, for example) that I start getting nervous.
So mountain climbing? Sure! Cliff climbing? No thanks! Haha.
As for house, I think the name came from where it would commonly be played when it was forming- in 'House parties'. As time passed, it grew in popularity and spilled out into the clubs and such. In a way, I think that when that happened House kinda lost itself to generic or dare I say, Pop-glam crap (glamorized by mainstream people putting their own spin on it).
As for my spin on House, I don't study it religiously or anything (don't really do that with any particular genre, normally). I just know what I like to hear when I'm makin stuff.
Haha, and yes- I was wanting to create a 'Trippy vibe' to support other people's addictions. Not that I endorse getting high, but I'm not gonna protest it either. And if I can help, well, then that's just cool beans, Billy! Haha.
The fades were an experiment- Both in playback quality and in my attempts at simulating Turntable-style mixing on my DAW. Glad ya dug it. Later on!
Hey sounds like I just stepped into the wilderness...not surprising after reading your Bio...Mushing must be brilliant..I'm an old ski bum so I can dig the pull of the snow country...Getting back to business...the track's elements are great....one thing I'd start to do with big soundscapes like this is start to manipulate and separate the sounds more using different reverbs..I like to think of the tune in a three dimensional aspect..things can be moved forward and back left and right....given the different reverb types available it's worth experimenting..and any bass percussion can be compressed big time to add more punch.....great work..a huge canvas your using!..cheers planet :)
Planet, thanks for the review. Its great to be reviewed by somebody who puts out the quality music that you do.
Mushing is fantastic. Although they are wound up and high strung, the dogs are a peaceful and soothing to spend time with... hours of silence as the sled glides through the snow, watching trees, beaver, caribou and miles of endless winterland pass me by... music always comes into my mind, and sometimes I remember it by the time I get back to my cabin. I can only record as long as the battery in my laptop will allow, before firing up the generator and drowning out all silence.
I'll look into more soundscapes. Reverb and other audio tuning is certainly my weakness right now. Exploring existing loops and making my own and structuring the music sequence has kept me from the mastering end. Kurt pointed out that I was neglecting that... he made a good point. So now I'm learning to apply these effects...
I applied Boost 11 to the master volume of every one of the tracks that I have put out, and while they're tolerable, they have lost the punch and definition that I had put in initially.
Your three dimensional approach is a great idea.
I'll see what I can do on this canvass... right now its a bit of a Jackson Pollock.
It never ceases to amaze me that your doing all this by yourself!..I mean these Ska bands all had a minimum of six people in them and here you are pushing the bar by your lonesome...unreal stuff man!..not to put Mike Oldfield of "Tubular Bells" fame down..but his work was very repetitious and mundane compared to what you produce...you don't play music so much as you are music, or the closest incarnation of it...your going to need a press secretary soon..I'd apply for the job but I ain't pretty enough!...cheers mate ;)
Hi Planet, I could seriously do with a press secretary. I do the music, while somebody just cracks on with the whole promotion side. That is my idea of heaven I must admit. Having a team of people working to promote and organise press,shows,airtime,promos ect...Dream on!!! Anyway I got your track through today and it's super. I will get the soprano on it asap....
Haha...cool! This tune is all "Bronzed Up" that's a peculiar Australian prison practice of when an inmate goes crazy and rubs his own excreta all over himself..lol....I dig your stuff it's not only a good groove but it's very humorous and real,with a hefty slice of irreverence thrown in...Australians like anything that takes the piss out of people and buckets them at the same time...great stuff! cheers planet
Haha......crazy surfer acid madness rock!....it's not Zappa in a blender it's BosonHavoc out raping and pillaging the air waves....this would go really well on the radio..it's snappy and catchy with a touch of Noir....nice groove!..cheers man :)
Solid!...nice and tight arrangement with a cool up feel...love that synth line in the second chorus..there's a nice mix of flavours weaving in and out..the rhodes piano is great and keeps it all together with a series of smooth turnarounds....way cool!..cheers planet
Ohhh...Sininen hetki...that just got welded into my frontal lobe....What a fitting description for that time of day.....this track is in tune with the celestial mechanics involved with the Blue moment...very Zen and undoubtedly atmospheric...quite beautiful!....lovely work cheers planet :)
Ahh...cool synth intro....Very chill with some great space....As you state this is way up brimming with good vibes...a great feel good tune...puts a smile on my face...cheers planet :)
