Hey Mo....this ones different,I kept expecting some mad Asian language to start rapping and then the guitar hits whoa!...that's one of the best endings I've heard,just that groove alone is worth the listen...hey if your thinking of cutting it out you can always make a whole new track just around that piece...either way it's great work!...cheers planet :)
Hey Ciko....yes this is a great track..I especially like the timing..the very background synth lays it down but the real beauty of this piece is the withheld then introduced elements...great work!...cheers planet :)
Great keys....big,full,lush...this track's got great continuity and doesn't stray from your job description one iota.....that's what I love about it...truly professional...a lot of people would have lost the plot and got side tracked into just doing something with the sounds and getting indulgent..this is really focused and tight..and frankly is a lot better than many huge budget intros I've heard....great stuff Ron....cheers planet :)
Thanks Planet.
Your kindness and encouragement is greatly appreciated. It's hard to describe in words what this Looperman community has done for me. I thinks creative freedom should be adopted as the community motto. Thanks bro.

Since you started playing keys you haven't put a note wrong......Excellent job Rei!...I love Electronic music as it bridges the divide between contemporary and future musical styles......tres cool..cheers planet
I like the sense of almost detached involvement this piece imparts,towards the end the repetitive notes sound more like a glitch though and not a deliberate action...cool work...cheers planet
Hi Sakura..my first visit to your place....Well this is great!..a super chuggin hard hitting take no prisoners track....the guitar and bass have just the right amount of distortion to give out the heavy vibe but still retain good articulation and separation...excellent work...cheers planet
Jeez.....cool work as usual mate...I was digging around here at the bottom of your track list and found some gold..that I haven't heard!....Hey great to see Alexander on board too...awesome!....also you never have to ask mate..send me a track anytime,anyplace,anyhow and I'll try and put some low groove to it...your pal from the antipodes Dave.:)
Hi Norm.....my first visit to your place...I like the way you've almost used a minimalist approach to accentuate Evrim's superb voice gradually building through percussion into the main theme...I'm a big fan of world music and you've kept the original ambience her singing richly embraces.....great work....cheers planet..and welcome to the Loop! :)
A great step away from traditionally arranged carols by candle light....some superb playing by yourself and the Slapster....get this one out quickly into the stores and you might just do what Christmas has become...make a fortune!..with the emphasis on tune!...cheers and Christmas blessings Planet :)
Thank you sir, your words are always enlightening and entertaining. Too bad about the whole money thing. Right after I posted this song the dow lost something like 4000 points. Ugh. Peace and good tidings my friend, Six
Hey Sky...this is fantastic! Talk about out dylaning Dylan..it's all there encapsulated in this song..hell you could make heaps impersonating Bob,it's that good!.....He's always been one of my favourite performers all the way through..you'll have to go on and do "Music from Big Voltage" next......done with flair and panache..super enjoyable...cheers planet :)
Planet,
You know I figured you would be one of those people who would appreciate this expression for what it is. It seems to me that our music has diminished in importance in many ways over the years. It used to be so powerful. I have hope that this hidden power will once again emerge from the thick layers of over saturation to move mountains. Thanks for getting it Planet. There is hope after all.

Like the last day a flower arrangement has in it's short aesthetic life the ripples of this piece spread out from it's guitar line,an almost imperceptible change from reality to dream as the saxophone and flute pass by.......a composition of music is a very ephemeral thing it has no substance on one level but on another it's able to materialise in the most astounding ways........I think a lot of your music is like this it's made the transition within many listeners to exist permanently and not wither......cheers Dave :)
Bloody hell Dave!!! You always get your teeth in to a song. I am humbled by your words and your wisdom. I'm going to send you a song if that's ok.
I feel I need your bass doing it's thing...
Well I'll bite the heads of ten chickens and speak in tongues if I listen for too long......gut wrenching slide..way out in the boondocks..mosquito music...any which way you look at it this is real!....tres cool Randy...way slick and dirty...cheers planet :)
Hi Planet,
Hey, you certainly have a way with words! :-)
I am glad you liked the song and it inspires you to think of feeling like your actually in a swamp with the alligators, mosquitos, etc.
I will review some more of your songs and everyone else here, once I get all the replies written to those who left reviews on this song, and the 'Bo Diddley' style tune.
Thanks again for your cool comments,
Randy
Love the introduction of that Sicilian dirge...it's like The Godfather meets Stanley Kubrick's 2001...very interesting ambient noises...great work...cheers planet
For half a second I thought this was 'season of the witch'..hehe..cool,this tune could really rock out with a full band behind it..the people would go nuts!..but your wife wouldn't like all the groupies hanging around....nice one mate!..cheers planet :)
Super riffing groove if all Dub was like this I'd become a convert....the subtleties that you introduce every bar make for an incredible sound..it's very controlled but totally free and organic,a quality that has become the Rei sound we love so much...every note is absorbed by the listener like water on a sponge....cheers planet :)
I love this place...now I know what Dub is...there's an excellent separation of sounds here and they compliment each other perfectly..the slight staccato rhythmic cadence would be incredible under a strobe light and gives rise to an almost Eastern beat just under the surface and at the periphery.......fantastic new age music!....cheers planet :)
Hey MrVolt nice job!....all the circuit breakers have blown ..the pyrotechnics have set fire to the stage,excellent opening gambit...the race is on!...cheers planet :)
Planet,
Thanks. This is fun stuff and besides, Barry did most of the work...I just plugged in and made loud noises for a few minutes. Scared the hell out of my cats and the neighbor lady was yelling something but I couldn't hear her over the shred....Totally Joe's Garage.

This track really lives up to it's title..you guys are like hand and glove....a walk down a sun dappled country lane springs to mind...it's so easy going and natural,without any effort as light as the breeze...gotta be the coolest smoothy yet.....I'm putting in an advanced order for the album now!.....bloody marvellous!....cheers planet :)
haha cheers dude, Slap seemed to make the track sound effortless, because he's THAT good to make it sound effortless, if people only knew the hell i had to make the backing haha.
will u be laying down the bass on the album? .....seriously haha
An Havana twist eh..tres cool...it's tracks like this that makes me wish I'd taken dancing lessons..especially in Cha Cha...wishful thinking I'm afraid..Oh well I can settle for listening to this great piece instead...another fine vocal performance and the keys are always spot on...Ai Carumba..cheers planet :)
I've put an 'a' after the w and made it Mwahaha as in the fretless bass sound and so you can't sue me for breach of copywrite....Mwahahahah...mwahahahaa (cool track too,again)
It's impossible to visualize the progression of European influence within the modern movement,without reference to Sartie..Possilbly the cinematic genre is the one that transported his classic French romanticism into the hearts of so many.....A beautiful touching interpretation that shows your seemingly endless musical perspective.....cheers Dave :)
Love the staccato feel..This is more loose and punky than a lot of your material MrPC...I love it!...'Heeps of street cred' as they would say...I would say...'A spontaneous reaction to rhythm,not unlike a Hummingbirds ability to fly backwards,both enthralling and astounding'....Excellent! cheers planet
