i am really... thinking.. about... that... moment...
i remember... not being able to look myself in my eyes...
but.. i love.. how you have framed this!
it.. makes my little.. sadness. my negative inertia.. my pure distaste for my body, my life, and my mind, seem.. inconsequential to the great depression of many.
I love it.
wow... this is one of those moments i won't forget.
wow
*post edit*
ok, i have to be real with you.
these are some of my production points.. the song is AMAZING
This is AMAZING.
but, i want to add, my pella may be flat? or is the composition sharp a little? you can adjust that with some automation?
also.. I think some velocity sensitivity on the piano would draw more emotion out of the Pianos. Add a room reverb to it!!
Great MIXING. Unusual and Fantastic arrangement.
I wish I could sing it better for you now.. but there is no way. I am not that man anymore.
I love it.
Thanks for listening, there pitch problems, but I kinda reckon they don't take too much away as the vocal has a dischordant feel that fits the track, but the pitch issues where not deliberate, and would probably be easier on the ear if fixed.
Glad you like the mixing cos I gotta say, some time was spent on that element, and some good advice was passsed to me by SuperClutz (Thanks)
to add some background (Crickets were suggested but ony had brids and dogs so had to make do LOL).
Really worked tho, cos it took the whole thing outside. Pleased with the end result.
wow... this is messing with my complex mind!!! lol
you never heard kraftwerk?... this deffo has ... your style, your fingerprint, but i do hear the kraftwerk translations...
great vocal work!
i had to listen twice just to wrap my head around it.
Really great vocal work!
you could solidify the mix some more.. but... then... it's pretty solid...
minus where my mouth went dry, the roof started breaking, and I couldn't remember the name, and I drifted off to outerspace....
melting.
hmn.. the bass bugs me a little.. but not in a bad way?
i would like a rounder deeper bass personally
have you tried a lower freq. bass? i noticed the "work in progress" ....
ahh
and.. this is more ... personal opinion, ... it would be cool if this transitioned into another key or soo... but.. that is refutable.. it may work, it may not.. just my opinion
solid mix, great track!
the breakdowns are very very effective
I deffo could see the Hedgehog slamin' to this... lol
kwalaa, is just a made up word...right now it means life and always living it and not worrying about all the mundane bs around us at any given moment! the bass could be heavier, the slap bass sample reminded me a little of Bootsy Collins though, have u ever heard his funk fusion produced by Bill Laswell(Material, Axiom)..thanks for the kind words and listening man!

Hello and thankyou for reviewing my track i am slowly getting to grips with the APC40 its been great weather here in Scotland recently so I have not been in the studio much.
Thanks again
Regards
Krook
it almosts verges on .. .some strange binary dilect? lol
dezentral must be serbian?
it is like a better amon tobin for sure... like.. did you dig that vocal work amon tobin or prefuse 73 used to do (kinda still does???), it is a really.. fantastic piece of art dude
again, i would give you my zippo lighter, a watch, and two packs of gum for a cd
:)
to me, it .. kinda sounds like..
like if your turntable started sleeping with the drum machine, and they catch the beat rewinding and DEZENTRAL caught the action on an audio camera
Alright Abe, I'll admit as one Artiste to another. I'm so happy I found this site - there are connections I'm making that I really treasure. Cheers for finding this one SO FAST! What, 5 minutes before review? Cheers mate, I'll be in contact soon.
Kary Mullis the Nobel Prize winner even stated that the ozone is a natural balance of O2 and carbon.
altho, everything we do to the world... it's natural that if you burn the carbon in a piece of wood, it goes into the environment, and then rain, condensation, it naturalizes itself.
but, when we burn plastics, something synthetic, it's a new compound added to the atmosphere. it's not good or bad. it's just "is" what it "is".
i love this.
fantastic track.
next time turn the "in" track down (err your vox), and use a compressor. (even tho it won't sound ok while recording, after you mix it, it will sound very clean ;)
it keeps the clipping down BEFORE you mix.
Thanks for stopping by and reviewing my track Abe.
I was really just havin a jam on Ableton and this track started to evolve its good when it happens like that.
Its had quite a good response so im happy:)
Thanks again for the review.
Regards
Krook
i love this!
you could really just get into it from any perspective.. and it's ... lol fun?
and thanks for the download!
goes in my iPod
and it should feed it for a couple days heheheh
this makes me look at my drum machine and think hellya!
some REVERB would sound awesome on this! did you try a room reverb on the loops? that may sound great!
or
delay the rhodes! you will get a very nice landscape in my opinion! you should try some effects at least.
thanks for listening and the kind words guy, honestly, I've been pondering the use of effects in general quite a bit lately, I tend to go in different directions sometimes, alot of older Afro pop mixes tend to be a little on the dry side sometimes, I've only had the full version of Acid for three months, prior to that, I worked on the very.very first recording programs for PC..in 1982!! and Dr. T's sequencer for Atari circa 1987-1993!!..and mucho years in between!!!thanks again for your feedback!
v!
great pulsing subrhythms and fantastic ... polarity mind twisting squeels and shimmers.
man, this feels like i ate a half ounce of magic mushrooms and wore nothing but a hat and a plastic shovel and i am chasing after that willy hyena who stole my banana
lol
love it, keep doing whatever the hell you are doing lol
The Noize. Check out my gallery for some of my favorite instruments - the geng gongs in particular. The bamboo jaw harp's can make sounds that are inherently psychedelic in nature. Since I discovered them in the mid `90's I've played them a lot in conjunction with a Boss DD-2 digital delay pedal. Playing to/with an effect like that is to me the ultimate in Hi/Low Tech and it's not unlike what I'm trying do do with sampling. Maybe my stuff should be labeled "Retro" - like late neolithic. Grabbing whatever works and I can scavenge up!
The African roots...well, no getting away from that one even if I wanted to.
I still haven't taken any of it very seriously yet. Sincerely, sure (music's about that) but since I'm using other people's samples how can I not give it back? Glad you like what I'm trying to do - the software's creating lot's of limitations, but I suppose in a way it's part of the fun (or drama).
at first.. i wasn't feeling it..
(err.. i dunno how much i like the drums.. but they are not bad at all!!! just... to me... heh)
but then something happened... and i couldn't stop getting chills.
i love that guitar groan tail end thing... that is quite a cool ambience.
Great Songwriting.
thank you for doing this. i really enjoyed this.
Thanks, I know the drums aren't the best. The were a generically generated loop through Magix. I felt like it worked for what I was trying to do at the time.
I'm glad it effected you in such a manner. Thanks for you kind remarks! Your also very much welcome!
Thanks for stoppin by again alividlife, as always. Its nice to have a review of an older track as time goes on ya know?. And to answer your question, yes. Surprised your the only one who noticed ...
i love the feeling.. there is a fantastic sense of imminent death... in fact, for some reason it made me think of imminent death...
I am gonna be really completely honest with you n0mad23, as , really all we are, are musicians with avatars, and you remember about a month ago? when all those thunderstorms came out thru washington?... i was in east washington, and thru my depressive and frustrated state, i drove into the storm, and parked in the heart of it, and walked around screaming and cursing at God.
I lived, and that has to mean something...
maybe personal experiences have to do with replays on a track?
gonna download this and listen some more tomorrow.
Wow - this is a very interesting review. It's an "ego" stroke to think the music caused this kind of reaction. I've been wondering lately about sensory priority lately and certainly sound is closer to the real than image. For sure a particular sound can jack you right back into a memory - and there's no better mnemonic device for accessing said memories.
I don't get "imminent" death from it - but I do see the connection. Simian defiance is about standing and facing death, but hopefully staring it down in the process. Like your own experience in the storm?
Credit where it's due: thanks everyone for the fabulous samples used here.
Thanks Alivid for your perspective I guess I never had the feeling for calypso when I came up with this tune. I'm not real familier with that style. As far a the guitar sounding instrument. Every thing was played using that wonderful gem of a keyboard. That wah wah sound comes from the clavi intstrument. Man I do miss that Keyboard. It did have some power for just being a cheaper piece of equipment. I'm glad nOmad23 told you about it. Thanks for the listen and the comments.

I totally gotta get back to your e-mail, but I love the vibes you give off.
This really lends itself to the senses, and good deep thought.
Altho "Dub" I think I understand the feeling.. I really think it takes an Artist
to make something as intense, and alive like this.
Great track!

lol, and yes, you really got some good loops off this one

i agree with the lyrical content more than the music.
(my favorite part was the slow bass synth, it contrasted the flow of the piano, juxtaposed with the vox's... it was a great track)
nice to meet you :)
