I like Ericmike's groove better, tho.

Yes.

That's Spivkurl's weird track title.

Hey there. I wondered what you might think of this one as it's definitely not the kind of thing you're into.

I figured that the more chilled out middle section would be your favourite.

I really hope there isn't so much distortion going on that you can't recognise parts. Maybe it seems that way because you don't listen to much (any?) heavy music. I do listen to lots of it so my ears are very familiar with it (and much heavier sounds than I'm using here).

I try to keep my distortion carefully controlled so that things remain reasonably clear, melodic and with a good groove at all times.

"It seems like it is too much for me at once."

Maybe it will make more sense if you listen again. But no problem if it doesn't - you can't like everything, even if you appreciate the detailed work going on (same as in all my tracks).

"mystical metal?"

Yes - I think the choir voices add the mystical element though you don't hear them much in the heavier actual metal sections. I wanted to get them playing more over the heavy stuff but it didn't quite work out so the guitar and bass took over. Maybe I'll achieve this some other time in another track.

Thanks again.

hi alex, thank you for your find words, it is indeed an abstract combination of sounds feelings tones colors and lyrical ideas. It kinda goes with the theme of the song.
I am glad to hear some of my then very new and untested vox fx have been received well, i wish i could go back and do my vocals over to be quite honest.
Funny enough the first half of the song as far as the drums go atleast, where made entirely on my IMaschine for ipad, which i was experimenting with alot at the time. SImple tools to help sketch ideas are why i am an "I" kinda guy,,,,
Thanks again ill be posting new tracks this week. hope u will check them out

Thank you Alex for your continued support. I love the fact that you enjoy that I "stick very close to the originals". My reason for this is, 1. I really want the original author to really feel that I respect his creativeness, 2. My main objective is to just give thanks. My reason for this is clearly the fact that each project that I upload I seem to get just a tad bit stronger, and I can only achieve this accomplishment by inspiration of just listening to you fellow music lovers :). So if you really want to see who should get credit for my work, you should only think of the people I choose to Remix or Edit.(Their Tracks of course) lol. :P . Thank you once again Alex for taking the time to give my music artistic compassionate criticism . True Artists can obviously tell music has no limits nor rules. " If it makes pleasurable sense with sound then it has to be a work of art !" -EazyBeatz ;) P.s Stay Tuned!!!!

Thanks man really glad i could provide a nice chill moment for you!

Listening to something from hell can't be wrong

The waveform is a bit square ... You can win a free copy of the album at www.alexggonetolooney.bin

Cheers Alex, I'm glad you managed to make it as far as the third part. Sometimes I think these ten minute tracks are a bit too long for most peoples attention span.
Thanks again for dropping in and leaving your thoughts.

yea - the tracks tend to evolve. plus I don't have much control over how they evolve. I just try to keep up with the demon inside. thanks for coming back for more! best wishes. Dan

Humor does not belong in music. I do not agree, the song is not short. It is 1:07 minutes too long.
And I read that as "Thanks for sharing Alex", but I won't do!

Thanks alot for stopping by to listen and comment!:)

With appreciation_____Orlando

Hi Alex,

Glad you like our track and thanks for your comment.

Yeah, you can't go wrong with Kieth! Fantastic musicians.

Yes, that's Scott (scottb55) on drums, who also has a page here on Looperman.

Ciao,

Hello friend, I appreciate the feedback on this one! Interesting that you think of it as minimal, it seems we must have different interpretations of that word when it comes to music... maybe compared to other recent efforts I've done it is more minimal though. That's not a bad idea to experiment with the delay on the guitar more. I guess I was focusing on other sorts of automation with this one. I often steer away from to many changes in delay on a single channel, as it can really disrupt the timing of everything. More the delay was there on one of the guitar tracks to create an overall tone and stereo image when combined with the other. The main guitar parts (aside from the overdriven slide part) were recorded as two mono tracks, one through the direct box, and one on my old kustom 2x12. I think the effect on the direct recording helped with the overall tape recorded feel. To me, the "dub" of this song comes from the tempo, the lower bass line, and the specific effects used... plus a little bit of skank to the rhythm guitar parts. It's funny that I often hear people bringing up kraftwerk when hearing my stuff, as I have barely ever listened to their stuff... I take it as a compliment though all the same. Interesting as well that you found the guitar in the outro to be eastern sounding, I'm thinking it must be the slide playing. Thank you very much for all your supportive reviews!

Treated as (x) see above.
I did not read your comment, but you are probably wrong. Serves you right!

Hello kind sir!

No funk or metal. I don't know what to call my music. Melodic Bass Rock?

Yes, Justin Chancellor, I learned to play bass by learning their songs off Undertow, Aenima and Lateralus.

Yes, "The Pot" rocks, but you should listen to Lateralus over 10,000 Days. Lateralus is their best in my opinion. You will surely hear a resemblance there.

Glad you liked the track, sorry for the unclean recording sound. Learning guitar on the fly!

Take care.

Evan
