Hey Billy...great feel on this one..I never get tired of listening to heart felt tunes..and neither do most folk..your on a winner with this style..I hope the touring and recording goes well for you guys....very enjoyable!..cheers planet :)
Hell if I had of given you a working brief that stated...."I want you to imagine a sound track that portrays black turn of the century mine workers toiling away in Stygian murderous conditions with overtones of industrial Hell"..you couldn't have come up with a better result...this is damn freaky...not that I can be scared easily..but it's easy to say sitting here reviewing from my comfortable computer chair...if I was down the mine and some joker put this on(not mentioning any names)..it would freak the hell out of me!....this track feels like 3 miles of rock bearing down above your head..it's quite intimidating 10/10 not for the faint of heart lol..cheers mate :)
It's funny that you mention that because just the other day I was watching 'October Sky' (I think that's the name) with Jake Gyllenhaal and the scene where they were down in the mine all hunched over kinda reminded me of what you said here. I think my vision when I was doing this was kinda trying to capture the feeling of standing on the edge of a giant precipice underground and the chasm would be so deep that it'd be pitch black. Then I remembered the 3rd Indiana Jones movie where he was on the final test (the leap of faith) and he had to try to walk across air over the bottomless crack. Oddly enough earth doesn't scare me as much as being really deep underwater. Anywho, glad ya dug it mate. Later on!
Now.......
let me get this straight..you've been jammin' with Robert...that's brilliant news man!...He's my favourite artist and this song is way cool!..Great dynamics in your voice..great job!...hey while I'm here..Where in the hell is he..haven't heard from him in month's ..if you see him again tell him his Looperman buddies miss him....excellent collaboration..big thumbs up...cheers planet :)
Yeah, hooked up with him via looperman and it turns out he lived around the corner!! He is good and well and i will pass on the greetings. Cheers, dhar
Ahh..I’ve just come over to see what all the fuss is about. Seeing as you’re very free with your critiques. Lets have a look at your own work…. I must say it’s very good, you have an exceptional ear for the subjective turn of phrase and an excellent grasp of production techniques which are first class, on a par with other good material from this site of the same genre, no better, no worse…. What bothers me though is that this is as good as it’s going to get for you, unfortunately your perceptive grasp of the medium has been diminished by your seemingly superior position that you place upon yourself, a shame really because in the real world of aesthetics self loathing which is the hidden reality behind superiority equates to a clouded outlook and an inability to expand beyond one’s own horizons…whether this self hatred stems from an unloved childhood it clearly has manifested itself in your opinion towards others. And probably is exacerbated by the feeling of loneliness that you are currently displaying…the music’s ok I’d work on your people skills a bit though…....planet
I absolutely do not feel superior to anyone. I have cultivated honesty and honesty does not bid well in a world contaminated with the very things you suggest.
I do appreciate you taking the time to make some comments and the things you say have been duly noted.
I do urge artists to reach inside, dig deep, and do great work. Work we are all capable of. If an individual cannot take a critique, and perceives critique to come from a position of superiority - then it probably points to exactly what you are talking about.
It is ok to not like a track - and in light of the review process - it is more than ok to say so. If you ask for a review - it is up to the reviewer to be as honest as possible.
I like it...good continuity with a progressive ambience...simple fact is men have a lot to answer for and women have been shouldering that burden since the year dot.....all in favour of a reversal of power...raise their hands..lol...damn we'd be a mess of henpecked dudes then..hehe..great track,artistic and cool!..cheers planet :)
Wow..what a great panning lead....this is layered with that acoustic tracery of tinkling sound..there's nothing quite like the chimed resonance acoustic fingerstyle lends to a piece...it's why Crosby,Stills,Nash and Young were so popular...it has that universal appeal...the lead work is outstanding..I think this track is beautifully poised...it's a living breathing thing...marvellous work man..excellento!...cheers Dave :)
Thanks Dave.
Your kind comments are very much appreciated.
Hope to give this one a bit more attention today.
The last few months have been a struggle on many levels. I am happy to say hope survives...and so do I. More soon.

Hey Ash..sorry to hear about the double blow..very sad indeed..I'm glad you're looking on the positive side of things...pretty easy to say very hard to do..this track feels up and optimistic to me ..it really moves along under it's own steam,and doesn't give out any negative vibes...I enjoyed it immensely...cheers planet
Hey this is great....wicked bass synth line...considering that you've designed this specifically for a Rave scene..I think it's excellent!..with just the right amount of fx's and vocal stabs...cool for those about to groove......cheers planet :)
Hi Planet
Thankyou so much for your review, Im gettin some good comments on this track from here and other sources surprising really I did not spend that much time on it buts thats just the way it happens sometimes I suppose:)
Thanks Again
Krook
Whoa..way cool!..this is as they say 'wicked'..I love that bass like synth phrase supporting everything..and your using Holly's voice as an instrument not an inclusion..which is where it's at as far as I'm concerned....Haha..I have to laugh when you ask for any suggestions..I sort of feel silly if I don't offer one..Hmmm..ok here's one (the composition music,levels ,mix are great)..I don't like the song title! It's too middle of the road..I feel it's not up to your usual standard of Gizzardness...be more adventurous..take control of the situation!..lol excellent work..cheers Dave :)
hi planet ;]
thanks very much. i took your wise advice as you were absolutely right about giving that song such a quick and unthoughtful title..so "soul of Apollon Musagetes" is the new official title.
Aahhh..I really dig this one...I can see those fingers of yours are starting to quicken their pace over the keyboard..great stuff!...you could line a hundred guitar samples up and one of your own and play them for two seconds...I'd know yours in a nano second..I love your guitar work..it's very individualistic and that's the best you can be!...cheers on another outstanding track...Dave :)
Beautiful intro...then straight into a brisk canter..it's very hard to produce work that people can immerse themselves in and thoroughly enjoy,it takes planning,projection and ability..it's not some fly by night undertaking...you've created a whole world here with visual imagery,pageantry the works....outstanding!..cheers planet :)
The piano is a trifle unsynchronised...but I can see where you want to go......sometimes the ambience of a piece is predicated by the intent of it's creator and not necessarily by it's component parts...I think that's why this works..you've got the touch for atmospherics..cheers planet
I like the simple clean feel of this song..nice and melodic with a touch of a summer shower about it...very easy to like this piece and I think it demonstrates that productions don't have to be over the top extravaganzas to succeed...cool! cheers planet
Irrespective of a songs content it lives or dies by it's entertainment value...and this piece has all the elements that make for a totally enjoyable experience...a great living breathing quality..with vitality and poise...a performers song through and through..Bravo!...cheers planet :)
A delightful piece..much as an insect can walk on water this soundscape has a world of space above and below it..the introduction of the muted tapping works superbly and lends to the whole composition a tactile natural organic feel....excellent work...quite sublime..cheers planet :)
Hi MrDuk..great to hear some honest rock music for a change!Hard hitting with some very tasty chops on display..and enough raw edge to give it grunt appeal,while retaining some nice sophisticated transitions....excellent! cheers planet :)
Cool!...love that bass line...settles right in on the beat...the trumpet's inclusion into this one just gives it that added flourish.......the guitar sounds excellent right in the pocket,with some juicy licks..this is a great track!..very enjoyable !...cheers Dave :) (very good mix too!)
Hey Neil..Excellent work..lovely intro..this is soooooo relaxing and smooth..I love it!..great transition into the tension strings.......man this one will sound fantastic over the space wagons sound system....flawless!..cheers Dave :)
with blaire's quiet but strong reading of his poem i knew i could put the "stone" back in "stoney" with this one! thanks for the listen. there's a little "devil" sitting on my shoulder right now saying i wonder if Daivd has some spoken word in him, and pick your nose! ;)
cheers, neil
I like your attitude it's got a lot of dadaist leanings in it....the low grungy beat works with this apart from the seams...I'd like to see you step out of the rhyme occasionally and just use the words that present themselves to your images..the continual grip of the rhyming cadence while very effective seems to inhibit a more dynamic deliverance and compartmentalises the overall music..far from being a criticism I think you've got a great presence with a snappy attitude..I'd like to see it arced right up....cheers planet
I had to google a few of those words :)
I appreciate the review and your honest feedback. This past year Ive been putting some real effort into trying to make some good stuff so if you have any other tips on how to better myself musically Im all ears. Thanks again.
Ah....I like the out of phase approach happening here it's very effective..for some reason I can hear a vibraphone taking a solo on this piece...I like the equation and the space within the movements of this track....interesting and very fresh..cool!...cheers planet
Haha..well I must confess this is the first "Crunk" I've ever listened to!.....This is way funky..I really like it..you've mixed up the beat with some great vocal insertions and scratch...the bottom line?....very cool with some sophisticated polish! cheers planet
Now this is a very pleasant package with strings attached...a lovely meandering lullaby with some very poignant moments.. a timeless feel and could be used as the backdrop for any number of scenarios.....super work!...cheers planet
