This is, like has been mentioned, very relaxing - It fits well in the chill out genre! The unusual percussive elements really deepen the whole theme included here. Could be an excellent soundtrack to some closed eye visuals! The jazzy elements, while few and far between, really add a lot to the whole artistry of the piece. This is very well mixed to my ears, and I'm enjoying it a lot! By the way, it's cool to see another avatar picture with a smoke in hand! Excellent work on this song! Fave!

Yeah, this is damn cool! Gives me Public Enemy vibes for sure. While I don't respect the sell out nature of where Public Enemy's members have gone, I do still respect their original works. I liked the chip tune sounding elements in some sections! You did well incorporating dubstep vibes in a hip hop based song, especially considering that it did not turn into trap! Very fun song to hear! Fave!

Sounds like you've put together a very cool theme for continued enhancement of this song! I like the ideas that you have put forth in your description and lyrics. I am in this process locally, of joining together/ bringing people together, in order to change things for the better. It is great that people are beginning to stand up for how things should be. I like this, and you should keep working on it! Keep making music!

Hey this is pretty fresh stuff! I like the energetic bass line very much! The varied and intense collection of synth lines really flow together and add up to a potent listening experience! I would agree that there isn't much sub action going on, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. Much of the instrumentation is more low-mid frequency. Possibly a more sub heavy kick could be used instead of, or in addition to your current kick in certain sections? If you did use both in certain areas, you could EQ or filter the new one to handle the very low frequencies primarily, while the other has some low cut going on. Just a thought. I really enjoyed this, and I could see it being expanded further to good results. Very fun to hear! Fave!

Very cool hard stuff here! I have to think that this is good "music to drink beer to," as I've got a glass in front of me, and that rhythm is doing it for me right now! I'm guessing that the lack of reactions you've gotten on this song have something to do with people's lack of attention span... after all, the song is longer than a usual pop song, and has breaks in the beat... people can't sit through anything which doesn't pump their hormones any more, so don't take it personally. You've got a real talent for hardstyle, something which is rare indeed any more. I like your songs much! This one is another fave!

Very pleasing song you've created here! I am not a house expert by any means, but from what I've heard, this is really good! Definitely the sort of song I like when I need something to inspire energetic action. I like that in a song. Some very classic sort of sounds you incorporated in the mix, so it's familiar yet fresh. Dig it. Since I try to read the previous comments while listening to the song, I found some of them very entertaining, such as.... "This is excellent mud" and "Very professional finish to this Mud." They both sounded like people calling the song "mud" as opposed to a nick name or term of endearment to you... I don't know, I just thought it was funny. Very cool song! Fave!

Very cool from the first seconds! Has your signature epic nature to it! I too am obsessed with growing things and nurturing any sort of natural presence. It feels good when I realize that I am not along in this. Thank you for creating this, and spreading more good feelings! Very bold tune! Love it! Fave!

Hey, sorry for taking a while to get back to with the respect, but this is an extremely cool track. It's not usually the sort of thing which is my DOC, but the mix and melodies are infectious and special. It's a great arrangement, with all the pop sensibilities! I liked the lyrical suggestion by "Format" earlier in the comments, as it did have a natural "planted" feeling to it. Very cool, reminded me a bit of Savant or something. Enjoyed it! Fave!

Very cool piece, with a very cinematic feel to it. I found that I was able to hear the details well, which is very cool. I'm quickly losing my focus at the moment, but I really enjoyed hearing this. Thank you for sharing it!

I'm so out of touch with online things lately, that I keep coming across remixes of this song without paying attention to the actual thread. I've enjoyed the ones I've heard, and this one is quite chill and "freeing." Soft tones, and good grooves. Has your style all over it, but it keeps with the theme. Pleasant all the way through. Man, it's good to take a moment and re-connect! Thank you for sharing this! Fave!

Oh man, I haven't heard something with this style in too long, and it is so fresh at the same time! Very present and real, and I'm lovin it! I have to ask, did you do any vocal recordings of yourself in this? Either way, I'm tempted to ask if I can do some sort of remix. I'm on a major protest/nature/chemical high right now, but I usually am. I really dig what you are doing here. Just what I needed to hear today. Fave!

Very interesting piece you have made! I really don't seem to have any reference when it comes to what you have done here, which I think is a great thing! Never heard anything quite like it, at least that I remember. Very deep arrangement, and the mix sounds nice to my ears. At first I thought it was loud, but then the mix brought everything together, and the result was so balanced. I did seem to notice some clipping in the intro, and maybe later, but it seemed confined to a specific track in the mix, maybe a recorded hardware instrument? Did not take away from the amazing track though! Expresses a modern urban landscape for me very well. I love the synthetic effects you used sparingly, so effective! Massive favorite!

Hey, this is pretty sweet! I'm getting vibes of some cool eighties/nineties groups from this, such as social distortion or rancid, both of whom I like to listen to. Do you have ideas for a lyrical theme which you wish to portray? Very fun and cool song! I enjoyed it!

Man, I can't tell you how much of inspiring force you are for my, and I'm sure others! This is so pleasing, and unlike anything I hear, or have heard, made by anyone else! It seems especially personal to me, as I've been with my Love for 22 years now. Maybe some similar experiences are inspiring us? Either way, it's an amazing and original song! So good! Fave!

What could it be about your music that always makes me want to pick up a bass? ... as if I didn't know... that bass sound is so sweet! I've been listening to the Miami Vice soundtrack on cassette lately while renovating my second studio, and this really does belong on there! I never realized how much ahead of it's time music ended up on there! Anyway, I love the old school crime theme blended with hip hop style. Your bass is, as always, the icing on the cake! Super cool track! Fave!

Damn, that is an intense sound you've achieved. Feeling it in my spine! It has some sadness in their, and maybe some hopeful feelings, at least to me. Reminds me of some recent New Order work in a way... if you haven't heard "Music Complete" yet, it's totally amazing. Those strings especially sound quite eighties influenced. Cool harmonies going on! This could be quite a song with some lyrics/vocals. Really enjoyed listening to this! Fave!

I really enjoyed hearing this remix! I think you used the stems in a unique way throughout. The selection and layering of the vocal stems is especially cool to my ears! Your addition at the end (clapping and vocal improv, yours I assume) is so excellent! It really brought the whole track together for me. Thank you so much for getting involved! Hope you are healing up! Fave of course!

Interesting style of industrial here, which gives me some feeling of late nineties hard rock. I like the drums you've put together on this one! I'll keep my patronizing comments to myself this time, as I realize that I've "beaten a dead horse" more than once when commenting on your tracks. I apologize for that. I will say, for humor alone, that it is no wonder that your headphones are dying! The tempo and the flow of this are quite cool, and I'd like to hear you deepen into this sort of style. Fun to hear!

This definitely has the classic funk groove that is what I like about classic hip hop, as well as more modern influences... the synthesizers sound specifically "updated." This is far more complex than most hip hop that I've heard, which is cool, especially since you mixed it so well. Is this actually your vocal work? Well, either way it sounds really good in the context! Makes me think of the rap coming out of Minneapolis recently, such as Sims or Mixed Blood Majority... Both are pretty cool if you haven't listened to them yet! Thanks for sharing this awesome track! Faved!

When I turn my speakers all the way up, this actually sounds pretty decent! With that in mind, this song could be one which would benefit greatly from simple normalizing or gain. You wouldn't necessarily need to normalize to 0dB, but anything that would make it peak between 3 and 6dB would probably help a lot. It would be comparably loud, but without clipping or being over-compressed. I actually really like the composition on this! Nice melodies, and has a dance feel which could stand some heavier remixing for fun. I like it! Nice work!

Very interesting take on a classic blues vibe here! I can't think of any other blues songs which I have heard which were written/sung in German, but I think it works just right, especially in this case! You also are tuning in your vocal style! Those cigar boxes are really sounding good, and it's been cool to see Burton making and using them in music. Brings a new spice to Looperman. Very fun song to hear, and I enjoyed reading the lyrics. Thank you for understanding those of us around the world who are simple minded, and have yet to learn any other languages fluently. Great song!

This has a pleasing sound to it for sure! I like the subtle melodies and chord work, it all flows very well. I suppose I'd have to say that this is not technically 8 bit music, since it uses NES sounds and the like. NES was of course a 16 bit system. It does have the sort of composition I would expect from an 8 bit tune, and no one is really going to care about the bit rate of the source sounds! I notice from your wave form, that you have a quite a bit of headroom. If you were to be more gentle with any compression or limiting which you have used, and then simply turn up all of the mixer tracks by the same relative amount, then you could push this to fill the headroom... That way, you would gain dynamic range without losing any apparent loudness. Just a thought. It sounds really good so far!

I'm really enjoying all of the aspects of this piece! You two seem to really work together well, and complement each other's talents. I like that this has at least some sense of sadness to it. In early spring, I always feel some sadness which can almost border on fear... then there is always the eager vibes, and a hopefulness. I think you two have successfully captured all of those feelings, and more, in this song. It seemed to start me on thinking of words which would complement the song, although it is early in the morning... that seems to be one of my habits. Thank you for sharing this awesome song! Fave!

Deep stuff! Love the fusion of tribes which you demonstrate in this song! That "side stick" sort of percussion at the left sounds cool... I love those sort of percs. Nice stereo field, and great dynamics! Low end sounds clear and I can feel it in my legs. I had to move my iced coffee because it was blocking a speaker, I really wanted to hear the movement. So so cool. Another fave! Thanks for sharing! What sorts of things do you do as an Eco-Naturalist? Just curious.

Ah, yes, welcome to the latest genre addition on Looperman... Psychedelic! I'm so glad Shan added this category! I'd say that this song fits right in, as it is super trippy! Lots of different vocal aspects, and the blend sounds amazing! Very unusual arrangement, but it feels right! That break later in the song really took me off guard, I think it's getting me high. Cool. All in all, I'm loving this song! Big favorite! BTW, I see that you are located in Seward. Have not been there for a very long time, but spent quite a few years in Homer, pre-1996. Cool to hear some new music coming out of AK!
