on Meteor by Chasmchaser
cool electronics and really nice work on the structure and flow of the track. i thought you might go full dubstep for a moment in the beginning! a well-wrought depiction of your meteor

on forgotten ghosts by bringerofDOOM
really messed up molten core running below the dry metals and drumbeat, until the meltdown occurs. one of the best wavforms i’ve seen in ages! dreadful and pretty lovely soundscaping, DOOM!

on Do it Right Get it Right by eshar
hello, Elaine! BB has lots of sound commentary, but i think this belongs to a pretty well-developed school of funk/rnb/blues that jams the fuck out of that one chord progression. like at 1.25 where this reaches its stride. true to yr description this is a positive vibe and it’s awful nice to see ya.

on autism type beat by bederis
fantastically packed with strange codes and dislocations, i am really moved by the track. the title certainly shaped my approach to the music and for the better i think. it’s cool that you provided that kind of guidance. ace track!

on My Angel by Chasmchaser
well the description caught my eye, i can get behind that. damn i like this lots. really original sounds esp after the 1.00 mark and plenty of gnarl along with the positive vibe.

Thank you. This track just popped into my head as I was staring out the window realized we've all got angels helping us along with the good things in life.

on out of time by mdeland1
ha, i’m gonna be late for today! this is why taking large amounts of rytalin is something i need help avoiding. gets the heart beating pretty fast. and you can never be fast enough when there’s no time. it’s dilemma with a beat.

icy, dark, searching, no fear (!), i can only hope robbie receives the beacon as you warp back into the black. you have amazing gifts, mickey!

Hi Michael,

Thank you for listening and the nice comment. My beacon is constantly burning and I'm sure he's keeping an eye on it at all times... But at the moment it's really lonely out here... sniff. Thank goodness my supplies of soma are full...

Cheers,

Micky

on The elephant and the mouse by Zootman
it’s odd i don’t have an earlier comment here cuz i remember my elation at hearing Tutu articulate the rage i have with people who claim not to take sides in struggles taking place everywhere on earth on so many levels i wonder if anything is untouched sometimes. Tutu’s words make me feel grounded and deepen my humanism. your setting makes me feel embolded to remain plugged in, if for nothing else to bear my own witness and carry that into the struggle at my level. if that makes any sense. i’ll just point people in the direction of track for a more powerful elucidation! ace work, this is impactful music.
Zootman
Zootman replied 27th Nov 2023 - 1 year ago
You make perfect sense my friend as always. I guess I was being slightly ingenuous with the description, since Tutu's words actually are a call to arms! I spent about 6 months working with Palestinians on the West Bank in the early 90's, on a date plantation and picking flowers among other things. And I think my kiwi sense of equality, egalitarianism and support of the underdog meant I had a lot of sympathy for the Palestinians. They are a warm and very hospitable people. But what future is there for them under the current regime? People talk of the two state solution but Israel has effectively sabotaged any hope of that with their illegal settlements in the West Bank. Anyway, I could go on. Cheers Zoot.

on ten piece take 1 by bringerofDOOM
i love cinematic or serial compositions, and this is a really fine theme, real stately but hella edgy too.
modern chamber music was always a big attraction too, and your orchestration/arrangement is finely wrought. and bro the sound is definitely fuckin cinematic. 5 stars.

on EP3 - All in a dream by BaoBou
hey BB, well yes i was drifting along and the groove quickly intensified, then out of a brief respite this agonized, alarming voice. i’m shaken awake, alone. damn, this is a very convincing song, man. you’re really flexing out your sounds and it’s clear you’re enjoying it, and i thank you for sharing it, bud.

on Not this and not that by Shaman77
a great combination, the beat drags your world-weary delivery off the page to dissipate in angry ennui. very scatalogical too!

on Hydrosphere by dimestop
THIS IS IT!! i just attended the best best music festival of the decade playing this backtobacktoback man you pulled me into atoms spinning round in your droplets now that’s getting personal but anyways big hugs to you and danke for gifting us with this.
you brought it alright, mate!
dimestop
dimestop replied 3rd Nov 2023 - 1 year ago
thankyou so much Mike to read a comment like that is delightful for both me and Danke. i commented on his instrumental and 25 mins later the song was wrote, it spoke to me somehow, probably the least likeliest collab a rocker metal head and a rapper who is political, but it worked, we both had a part to play and i personally believe we delivered, am i moving musical direction, have i sold out, the story continues.....my biggest thanks go to Attila though for giving me the opportunity to lets say act grown-up for for once, singing lead vocal on a proper rock bands work, how many can tick that of their bucket list :))
