Sorry about the delay (school stuff). Yeah, I hear ya. The intro synths were done to give this the feel of the sun beating down on your back (with the visible heat rising off of the surface near the horizon line). Which is where the name comes from. When the bass comes in the song becomes internal so I agree that they do contrast each other (almost anti). The pads near the end mark the bridge where they should fuse together (maybe I'll need to go back n add some effects on the intro synth bits to soften them up a tad). Glad ya dug it. Later on!

yeh cheers bud, ableton rocks, though fl studio has some great applications and sound creation tools, ive not really got into it coz ive learnt using logic, nuendo, ableton and reason, i spend a year on each programme and then decide which 3 main ones im going to concernatrate on, what with the rewire protacol i think you can cover most angles using 3 main DAWS, next year im going to get into flstudio, but i dont like the arrangement facilities, though i might be missing the point or no how to use it properly , maybe ile find out next year when i really pop the lid on it and get to the bottom of it, but asa rewire i think it could be one of the 3 because of the great sound creation it brings and hearing the results users such as ureself have shown me you can get a good track that sounds professional, i dont listen to these ignorant fools that pass it off asa toy, as those peeps are the ones that dont even scratch the surface of the programmes and blame it on their tools as ive found on each of the programmes theres something that u can use to enhance your productions in all of them, who says you have to only use 1 or 2 apps to make a track, steinburg arent going to give you a gold star if you only swear by using cubase and you stay loyal to them are they?!?

LOl,...you cant predict the un predictable. Or can you? In any event I would like to work something out with you soon. Do you have anything in mind?

Im sure I could redo the Yeah yeah Yeah's cover, but why. Those guys already recorded it and they did it proper like. Im not a fan of playing covers. I enjoy writting my own songs too much. But I wouldnt mind doing a track with you. Just not a cover song.

This is one of those times when I wish I didn't have to step away from the site due to being busy. I would've really loved to be able to hear what ya did for this. Alas, when I clicked the link in the other review it was no longer good (which is why I took it down). At any rate I'm glad that you were able to do something with this. Later on!

CalifKen - so glad you dig it! I love the image of "digital worker ghosts" from the future building me a sonic studio. I hadn't considered that it was a factory building garden gnomes at all - isn't that weird? The gnome in the title is from my own metaphorical totem reference scheme - a way of keeping track of "those damn things" that pop up across cultures and vary with every cultural lens. My great-grandmother used to tell me stories about the brownies at her grandmother's home and how they fed it burned porridge. My best friend from Niger told me a similar story and I've got my own ideas about the real non-variable in the quantum model - so there you go. My Gnomes are probably closer to your future digital worker ghosts than the ceramic kind. "Gnomes in the Totem schemata of n0mad23". Thanks for faving it!

Thanks for the review and for favn man!

Califken, Your kind review is very much appreciated. I apologize for the delayed response. This one is special to me and I am very happy you perceive the intended spirit of this piece. That alone inspires me. Thank you.

Yes it does - thanks! I bet some of my African friends will grin, because this one actually has some of that rhythmic sensibility behind it. The secret is to follow one rhythm with your hips, one with your shoulders and arms, and the other with your head. When all else fails, close the blinds, remove all clothing, bite your lip and begin to gyrate. I'm going to give a high end beat a try and see if that makes it a bit more accessible. I was thinking maybe a high hat or maybe clacker sticks. Cheers.

Thanks so much for your review.
Thank you for the gr8 loops which helped so much to make this track.
I like dance music with emotion-as Tomcraft said-"Happiness seems to be loneliness".
This song is obviously sad for me but I'm glad I could channel my emotions through the incredible medium of music.Thank you for listening and caring.It means a lot to me.Lofthouse.x

Lol, thank you! I'm honestly flattered! But please, I think BeatMasterDoubleR deserves more credit than me, as he made the music. But still, thank you for your kind words and reviews!

"candy store of sound" you say. well i hope your sweet tooth got filled my friend. preciate the review

Sure you can automate it's a bit more tricky tho. you tweak a parameter then go to upper left arrow.(the drop-down box)Then go to "last tweaked parameter" and automate it from there. But I didn't do pitch automation from vanguard its from the channel settings. Thanks for your review by the way :)

thanks man. its my favorite part of this track.

Thank you so much for your review. It is me on the vocals ^^

thanks for the listen... glad you stopped by..

thank you for the nice words!
cheers kurt

Thanks for the encouragement and the fave, my southern Leftcoast brother! I was recently told that my music's evolving in 2 simultaneous directions and I think your "futuristic twist on the vibe" validates this. I'm thinking the favs and replays are a good sign, too! I'm thinking I was tuned in to the right vibes when this one channeled through. Cheers.

Haha, never thought of 'em that way. Always pictured 'em as being big alien bugs. I just loved the way they sounded. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Yeah, Eshar's comment was for Tides II (which is on soundclick).
As for this track, yeah Blade Runner was one of the things that came to mind when I was doin this (along with Star Gate, where the name kinda came from). And feel free to mix the Chilli outta this one. I can't wait to hear what ya do. Later on!
