hey there Chris! i guess doors comparisons are bound to accrue to headtrips like this, i guess it’s a good reference point, but it’s doors as recorded for flying nun, unheard music indeed. til now, mate. it’s a godawful and glowing moment at 2.00 or so when the swamp git enters the picture. you sing like a disillusioned dead-eyed sting. the singing becomes incantatory by the 2nd verse and the instruments become heat shimmers above the rhythm. the blade-runner ref skews this nicely as well. haunted strange and visionary.
Ah you're too kind as usual but still your insights are on the money. Though the the SciFi reference in the lyrics was more William Gibsons Neuromancer (one of my all time favourite books) than Bladerunner. Similar vibe tho. As for the swamp guitar, that was me getting angry at my lack of chops on that instrument and inability to get a decent solo down. So I used that frustration anyway, kind of an anti-solo solo lol. Och aye .
hello Mickey. this is identifiably you, but still a bit of a departure. the arrangement is tight but roomy, it’s easy to follow the instrument parts and echo Paul the bass is ace!
hiya Paul, nice mashup an always bringing the message! i do like the atmospheric sampling, but steve’s right about gettin some drum wallops in there. haha i’m a tree-hugging fucker, you got me sussed! it’s always a great pleasure to have a few minutes with you, man. my attendance here’s been low i hate missin out the way i did this summer but anyway it’s a gift listening here and now. hope yer well mate!
hey Mike i was worried bro, its been a while im hoping you are keeping well mate its always great to see you here. i did have the iconic beat in it at first and a different snare but just thought it was overkill so removed them. ive had some controversial tracks lately, that have create talking points. as you know dimestops a bugger
im a tree lover just not not a hugger tho, but i'd hug the F#ck out of you bro tbf i would plant thousands if i had my way, you maybe aware that the world famous UK tree recently destroyed in an act of vandalism, i'd have cut the fuckers legs off nature and animals is my big love, i hate zoo' i cant bear to see wild animals caged for our pleasure, its great to see the re introduction of beavers in the UK and wolves could be the next, i believe there is a pack in Scotland now and i see you got fresh up, im about to visit it, the coversation continues :))
nice switch up from rnb to dance at the beginning. the vox are a treat, retro but contained — i was half expecting it to get really emotive, so the minimalist closing was a cool twist. your arrangement makes the most of the brief run-time. i’m diggin it!
Thanks, Stokes! The minimalistic closing may be temporary. I'm going to up the dance factor on this and make it a bit more catchy when I get some more time.
hi Micky, love how you back up the glossy surface with ingenious interlocking parts that fuckin jump and that tasty gtr. you use your voice to great effect — always wondered, do you use any processing or is that your natural falsetto?
Hi Michael, yes this is my natural falsetto. Some also know me as Klaus Nomi... LOL. Thank you for listening and your flattering comment. Cheers, Micky
Julio, good to hear you! i love the track as a whole, it’s a big-ass sound, beautifully designed and played with fire. i dig the vox a lot, like to thimk i woulda easily caught on that it’s a robot, but even tho you gave it away i was surprised by the sound. there’s some uncanny valley stuff happening in the phrasing that is way cool.
hello T. the background music gives you a nice range to explore, though you are always in the zone. i love when a player makes it sound like playing is a breeze, it’s that pleasure makes you just nod and smile all the way through. always a delightful trip, bud!
Thank you x, for the stop by always. I can tell you really listen to music when you listen. The background music is the blue print when I do this kind of Smooth Jazz. It gives me room to stretch out and create more feeling for the listener. Your ears are on point. thanks again. PEACE. T576 OUT.
i hear that bumblebee scream, all right. beautiful tones abound. what a fine tune, sad but thrilling like the scent of her perfume.
i’m scraping a few bucks together for a ‘new’ used guitar and you’ve become a big influencer for les with yer delivery on this!
great hearing you, Wayne!
I never write the words out before I start singing, I just get an idea for the lyrics, hit the red button and start singing. Sometimes lines like "i heard a bumble bee scream" come out of nowhere. I don't know what it means but i liked it and left it in, he.
Good luck on your guitar safari. I paid $650 at Sweetwater for my Epiphone "inspired by Gibson" 60's Les Paul Standard which I think is a steal for these gems. Gibson has had some rough times lately and putting out an Epiphone that's pretty darn close to their Gibson line will get people, like me who doesn't want to pay 3 grand for a Gibby, to buy them. Plus all the vids on yt are nothing but praise for these. Keep me updated on your new git.
Hullo Paul, it’s an hour before sunup here, but you’ve already brought the true light of day to me with this lovely tune. you and Matthias express a sadness i think most of we the living have to bear, and in articulating it make it a less lonely burden. you always connect, mate. hope things are all well brother.
cheers for the listen Mike, unexpected loss is something that you never really get over, tragic loss always leaves questions, bottling it up is the worst thing tho, be open it is less of a burden, others become more open then, yes of course you have to move on, you carry the scars, be proud of them , dont hide
hey Ian, i love this mystical, searching vibe. the lyrics fit the insistent rhythm— ace job on the drumming, the vox sampling, grooving bass, all the intricate motion. the dubby touches in the production really enhance the atmosphere. i really admire how much you are doing with these sounds and how uncluttered the result is. guitar has a touch of knopfler that lends itself very well, it provides a nice balance to the music. really graceful tune, my friend!
crazy, man. fantastic intro left me set up perfectly for the lead what next led to dervish heaven, a breath, then blissy reprise. 3 mins of psychic expanse. much more better than one of elon’s orbital offerings! another super-tight and lifted track. peace, space-Jynx!
I wanted to call this track a name you gave me to use as a genre a couple of years ago but I wasn't sure I remembered it correctly and I didn't want to mis-quote you. I think you called it
"PsychotronicArtFunk"...
Thank you for your listen and Fave.
Your discriptions make me wonder if you're talking about another track.
You have always given me great encouragement from day one here on LM.
hello Michael. i like the tempo and gtr parts a lot, and of course Diego sounds great. i think it would be really nice to hear some backing vox to bring out the full sound you’re aiming for. you guys are always a good listen!
Hey Michael, you're right to add vocals on the track but it's planned, Diego wants to do about thirty songs and select 8/9 that we will refine! only problem,,, I don't have much time to devote to it! we will do what we can! Thanks again for listening my friend!
Michael
oh yeah, there’s prince paul and then there’s dimestop the king. i love the duality of it all, and there’s lots to love here. six minutes and yez never spills a drop! a fitting number for your coronation — that king with the secret ointment is dead, long live the real king.
it’s so good to hear you in top form, brother.
haha, thanks Mike, i put a weeks work into this, well the mix. getting it just right, but i enjoyed it, i wrote it in an hour the week before the kings coronation, dropped it on the day
ive still made a few tightening tweaks after the upload too, im now happy with it. on to the next bro
Hey Steven, thanks for sharing this music, mate. It’s a lovely, stirring piece and reading along this page while listening brings lots of feelings that are never really far below the surface.
Sharing in the midst of such an intensely personal and transformative experience is a healthy reflex, and you and your family are in the thoughts of many.
Stay true to the beauty that remains, my friend.

Anyway ... thanks again for listening and the warm feedback - I added a couple of reverbs to the guitar tracks and that seemed to help it fit in
Please check out my music for insects track - curious what you make of that one : )
