Cool intro man!..actually it's an excellent intro!!..Is this the sort of music where your meant to take mood altering substances then pack yourself into an establishment with no marked safety exits,and then pretend your way too cool to look down the dress of the gorgeous babe dancing with her friends?..hahaha....God knows why these images present when I see the word Trance,maybe it's my aversion to the somnambulist tendencies of 21st century youth within their chosen nocturnal habitat of "Clubland".....now,seeing as I've got all my preconceptions out of the way I can critique the track properly(lol)...a great amorphous groove which doesn't rest on the opening choruses,but rather evolves and spirals with reflecting nuance and depth throughout it's journey..I suppose I could just declare it's a'banging' track and be done..but I only ever really sink my sarcastic boots into generic Hip Hop!........it is however the best Trance tune I've heard in ages!.....cheers Dave :)

Great track! credit where it's due...what I like most apart from the cool mix and the overall excellent live ambience,is those spacey scratches or wobbles,takes it to another level..if those were items I could pinch (I would!)...and yes,it did improve my day.

Nice intro to a great track....Now I'm not going to go on about Pat's great vocal talent but rather concentrate on what you've done with her ability......Unlike some other producers you actually have excellent rhythmic perception and a great sense of dramatisation within a linear framework,there is also ample evidence of your simpatico and due diligence to the task of creating balance within the dynamics of the track....the axiom "If it sounds good,it's usually better than you think" applies here....absolutely can't fault it anywhere...an excellent mix as well,top shelf!
cheers...Dave Urban (no I'm not Keith's brother)

Waking and looking out upon the surroundings of one's life is an everyday occurance and so often the view is obscurred by doubt,fear and uncertainty...this track is like a mountain,and rises above all the vapors of dispair that too often accumulate on the plain of one's creativity.............Modern World is a focus and at the same time a projection into the pshyce of it's creator Bilbozo..The use of light and shade within the composition isn't like an ephemeral stroll through some Impressionist's garden,this is the Modern World,where reality bites and it seems every step is filled with the accumulated lust and greed of a consumer orientated meltdown..it would be so easy to become mesmerised by the darkness and chug away into a rock and roll apocalypse,but like the mountain the whole track lifts and gathers a self sustaining enlightenment.....Damn man!I was nearly tripping there for a moment....back to earth!lol.....your a bloody marvel,in fact to be perfectly accurate your a rock&roll; neo classicist..we maybe need to build a glass case to put you in..(after your allotted time here on earth has expired and you've been stuffed of course!).....Awesome with a capital A!....cheers Dave :)

I've always found it interesting that HH music uses a lot of orchestral instruments and classical motifs yet leaves them mostly subordinated to the beat....the only reason I say this is my first encounters with classical music were abject failures as I didn't really 'get it'.... and I have no doubt if I had of heard music like this when I was a kid I would have become hooked so to speak...since then I've listened to heaps of Classical music and enjoy it but I still don't 'get it' fully! lol..great tune,I wonder how an orchestra would handle it...cheers Dave :)

Hey Chris...cool track man!I've never heard French HH before..Man I spent a year in France in 1975,mainly down in Aix,they weren't playing this stuff then! lol...this is great,very chic and dynamic and the production values are excellent..very cool work mate!...cheers Dave :)

Hey Rei you got your funky boots on again..cool stuff man!..I'm loving this track maximus appreciato...from Eshar's cool cool accented prose to that hipshot guitar work all makes for a hot track....your guitar playing reminds me of these American yoyo experts that came out to Australia on a promotional tour in the late sixties,they blew everyone away,we all thought they were golden gods from the promised land! lol...man you weren't standing at the end of the queue when they were handing out guitar skill that's for sure!...awesome!..cheers Dave

With all apologies to any religious sensibilities,your home page is going to become a Mecca for music lovers and the path is going to be beaten far and wide with the coming and goings of the multitudes...I grew up on the blues,but typically early on it was the white twelve bar variety synthesised by a legion of plagiarists mainly from England,light years removed from this variety...This just has everything,the whole song is a sweet spot..The Staple Singers couldn't do better,I'm totally blown away by those harmonies..there's such a great balance between you and Richie,very professional,in fact it's better than that...it's organic..it's alive.....I really wish I was getting paid by some music rag and giving a full length critique here,because I would wax lyrical and at great length....the music you two are creating is an accretion from dues well paid over an obviously well focused time...it not only deserves but demands respect......Superb! cheers Dave

Hey LC...cool stuff man!....dig your voice!and that's a wicked bass line,totally pumping..you know it was only after I uploaded this guitar loop that I realized I shouldn't have put so much reverb on so people could adjust it themselves (had a few complaints regarding that)....but you've used it well!..keep the righteous rhythms going mate! cheers Dave :)

Hey there Miss English titled person who spends time in desert springs ;).....When I'm listening to this I'm getting this 'Boutique' type vibe..no not as in a hair salon,(maybe a dress shop)lol..but as in a specialized,exclusive and probably way expensive establishment or product....I guess what I'm saying is it's got a sophisticated air about it...not for the riff raff! haha....it's a cool ride made even smoother with Ricky's modelesque vocals,definitely one for the "in" set....cheers Planet :)

Man I was learning how to tie my shoe laces at 11(I have no idea actually it was that long ago,but I wasn't laying grooves down! lol)...you know I was going to say just because of your age it doesn't automatically get you a glowing review,as I was feeling the intro section of this track was a little repetitive,but suddenly it changed gear and shifted into a darker groove with some great counterpoint rhythms..I like it!...and seeing as it's your first track double bonus points! haha....good stuff mate your on a roll,keep it up...cheers Planet :)

Hey it's Detlef Clinton gracing the house again! :)..No it's Detlef Davis..or is it Detlef Burrell! lol..Absolutely FANTASTIC track man!....damn that guitar playing is soooooo good!..Beautiful jazz licks winding and evolving through a super slick groove....70% Jazz...20% Funk...10% Rock..and it all adds up in a superb fusion from one of my very favourite musicians..ZAPPO!.......I can listen to your music all century! lol...my favourite genre FUSION.... you are a nuclear music reactor of impressive dimensions my friend....wonderful!
cheers Dave :)

Hey Richie....Man I can listen to this and see a lot of music has passed under your musical bridge....it's a great if not perfect backdrop for the acapella,no overplaying or domineering attitude,just a superb foil...it's seamless!...Now I'm hardly going to finish up this review without taking an opportunity to gush over Pat's vocal skill(z)! haha....I sometimes wonder how aware the general Looper public is of having a talent like Patricia around...amid all the flotsam and jetsam in the world,some tide of fortune has seemingly deposited her here(or until she's famous)....Fantastic music and totally the genuine article! cheers Dave

Hey man(men)...definitely better version,as in it's tighter and more open and able to breathe better..this is bleedin great,the vocals are a lot more intergrated with one another and they all sound on point..the earlier version had some frequency overlap and distraction with all that scratching...mind you a well placed whipff whipff is a perfect rhythmic insert occassionally.......you know this is the sort of HH I really dig....it reminds me of why I got into music in the first place, more specifically why I got into beat music....good rhythm is universal..it's like a spunky woman,it affects you on an instinctive level...well most people anyway! lol...great work people!

Man I thought I was in lounge town when this started!..haha... It's a great track,so very..what's the right word?...Ahh yes, anthropomorphic in many ways....You've taken some chintzy midday movie like strings amalgamated it with some soft bass and catchy dry drums and then layed this amazing vocalization by Thezerit on top...It's totally and remarkably human from every aspect..it's as if a piece of "The Blob" (the Steve McQueen 50's ScFi flic) fell into one of E.M.I's record pressing machines,while a certain stoned individual was at the controls!..ahahaaha....DOPAGE! (I like that saying! lol)

I have to agree with Bear here,I was aware that you had excellent vocal skills.....if you can successfully merge this with your instrumentation (which surely is a given)your home free....I was thinking this is very Synth Hop and low and behold that's exactly as you described it!lol..the way your mixing the recurrent melody is great,the added affectations of bass and rhythm hits make this something that isn't repetitive in the least so it flows and feels fresh...excellent work! and I'm sure there's a lot more to come!..cheers Dave

Hey Richie,great work man!..this sounds super fresh and right in the sweet spot..if the Ramones had practiced a little more they might have sounded like this!(or at least aspired to sound like this)...as you say the vocals are superb,full of confidence,optimism and polish...Pop music is probably one of the hardest genres to crack (I have absolutely no clue where to even start)and to get a tune up and running that sounds this good is testament to your talent,I also love the no synth all guitars angle...man I hope some station picks this up,it deserves it!...cheers Dave

Damn,where's my blow gun and safari suit!....nice mix and it throbs along with an interesting beat ..seems a little short but what's here is good...cheers Planet

I like it yessiree!!..ain't heard enough blues around this here lonely loopermun...Man..I'm hearing 100%Big Brother and the Holding Company (minus Janis)..and that is mighty fine!..forget ZZ! haha...tres cooool!!..cheers Dave

Cool trippy groove man..you've got the looseness and laissez-faire of a dope track happening here but with the added tightness of a dedicated journeyman....nice combination of vocals and beat!.....super work!

Pretty cool groove man..I like the transients..however where's the song as in singing?????.I'm not getting down on you,I like this track...but it's not a song in the sense I was making in my 'Why doesn't anybody write songs anymore' thread....Planet

What a great riposte to my thread query....Well Mizz Muzic in light of that superb performance (sound of prolonged applause!).. it's interesting how a successful song affects people(namely me! haha)..on one level I'm experiencing the gratification of an enjoyable experience but there's also the aspect of memory over time..how I'll replay this song in my head,how I'll hear things differently that I didn't fully absorb initially,for example the backing harmonies..these are some of the sublimest moments within this tune....I think in many ways you personify the art of song writing and performing..your projecting authentically into the composition and this is reflected in the performance...I have to be careful and not sound like some gratuitous music hack,but the fact remains you've got a world class talent.....I'm not alone in this thinking by anymeans!...Superb!

Crazy mad rhythm man..sort of like an orchestra in a cup....more pounce per ounce..be great to expand on this for a whole set,you'd wipe the floor no worries about that...insane!
cheers Planet
