on Time Dont Care by Dj4Real
like it quite a bit! he has a breathy quality to his voice even in the hardest parts that i think add character to the rhymes, and the chorus is on point!

on Rhythm Inside by Micky
damn, mickey! this is another side of your vox, quite different from the contribution you made on the jynx track. i am really digging these songs and i hope we get more vox outta you now that you started!
this had an honestly entrancing vibe. the way the vox are layered and use of falsetto made me think of shriekback!

Hello Michael,

thank you for listening and praising.
There will certainly be more vocal emissions from me, now that I feel it's not making people sick (hopefully).

Cheers,

Micky

muy fácil de escuchar, pero hay profundas profundidades para aquellos que escuchan atentamente. esta casa tiene alma.

¡Gracias por ser un espíritu

Gracias a ti xstokes. Como le comenté a Maj, tienes que perdonarme por no contestar primero, pero estaba fuera de casa en un viaje con mis padres.
Sois muy especiales para mí, por vuestro talento y vuestro enorme corazón. Que tengas un gran día y salud y paz para todos.

on Six Points of View by theHumps
Wayne, that’s a cool lift from boon, rip. songwriting at it’s finest, man, every time. reminds of when alt-country wasn’t just a pose, alas. i love this diamond-in-the-rough.

theHumps replied 10th Aug 2021 - 4 years ago
Thanks man!

Boon? Not sure who they are or who he is. I didn't go nuts adding guitars, was thinking of some electric, twangy fills but left it more towards the folk/country side of things.

on Curved lips of Philosophy Featuring Micky by Jynxz
J-Man!! what a knockout, it’s a cool departure from the star travels sound, but still completely recognizably you two even tho mickey’s not playing on this one. your instrumentation on this really takes the cake, esp that intro, and once you start poppin the bass the groove is insane. the outro section is stellar, i swear i was there that night. standing o’s to both a yez!!
Jynxz
Jynxz replied 9th Aug 2021 - 4 years ago
Man... Thank you for your thumbs up.

I have a tendency to be more Psychedelic
When I write tracks for myself.
I didn't up till very recently discover that
Micky could sing. I generally use loops and sample
Vocals. When I told Micky I had written a track that
I wanted to sound "Live" He listened to it and said he
could make a Vocal track and do the Mastering on it I told him to "Do his thing" and he did. I'm very happy with the result of this collab.
Thanks for your listen and comments
PEACE...

on Mean Green Sting by Mr Axel by MrAxel
some chord progressions are like platonic ideals, and you’ve put new skin on this one admirably. i love the cycling structure used, the synths are really catchy and wavy, and the gtrs got all the grit i can ask for. i’d love this on a 45!
MrAxel
MrAxel replied 30th Jul 2021 - 4 years ago
That means a lot to me coming from a rocker like you. For some time I kept my stuff locked down due to the infamous troll that pops in every now and then on this site.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope to do more.

Cheers!

on Hot Wire by Dirtzilla
hey there, DZilla! you’re really upping your production skills, i hear — great clarity, dynamics, and separation here. not to mention Funk to spare! really beautiful work in the grooves, it’s got that liveliness and spark at every turn, like each chorus and verse highlights another facet. ace!

on SLEEPY WAITRESS by CitizenMofo2
man, moody-ass well-written pop songs like this just can’t come along often enough, so i’m glad to hear the five-year incubation period is over! the 54 have an awaiting fan.
CitizenMofo2
CitizenMofo2 replied 10th Mar 2022 - 3 years ago
Thank you so much. The funny thing is that I got sidetracked yet again! I bought land near Joshua Tree last summer and have been making a glampground with my daughter and her boyfriend, and what an adventure that has been. But I have continued to work on these songs, even though they're mastered, by cutting down the too-long ones and figuring out the right groupings. Seeing your comment will inspire me to get back to this uploading to the world business and get it done once and for all, because Sunny War is just amazing. She gave me a treasure when we did this work and i should share it with everyone.

on Why dont you Stay by Jynxz
J-Dubman! too many people drone on about compression, but i must say this compresses so many jams in 3 mins you’ve set a new record in and of that itself. but that it hangs as a masterful composition is the real delight — and i’ll add my own zappa reference here — the backing is that tight and the solo so free but centered, few can really play like that. plus that outro is just supreme, and it calls me back to like ‘welcome’-period santana. awesome!
Jynxz
Jynxz replied 6th Jul 2021 - 4 years ago
Wow... It feels like I should be able to say more than Thank you for your encouraging words.
Knowing that my music is music to more ears than just mine is really motivating.
Your references to "Zappa & Santana", two of my all time favorites is icing on the
cake.

Thank you for your listen and encouraging words.

PEACE...
