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.
hey, bud. i’m catching onto your style and really enjoying the listen. get settled in and be prepared to groove. i love the slight grit in the delivery, honestly i have to strain to hear it. playing is top notch— fluid and gathering narrative detail. cool, my friend.
Thank you x, your choice of words is exactly how I try to execute my style of guitar playing. I didn't automate the guitar track, so your ears didn't lie to you. Also no mastering on this track. Will upload the polished version soon. Thanks again for the stop by. I was in the prosses of listening to one of your tracks and had to cut it short to get to work. Didn't get a chance to comment. Will stop back. PEACE. T576 OUT.
hello Eric! i think you from an organizational and production perspective this is a nice and flowing piece. my complaint is that it sounds like an exercise, just as you alluded to it in the description. i’d love to hear you loosen the genre conventions and jam — then that rolling psytrance bass could be put to a better test. good to see you man!
This is a valid critique of the track, x stokes, and I really appreciate your input. It’s, frankly, a lot more helpful to get constructive criticism than comments that just say, “great track, man” or words to that effect.
Your observation is aiming at an issue that much more fundamental than mere technical issues with the mix, etc. it’s something that I’ve been increasingly aware of, and frustrated with in my music for some time now. Not very inventive.
I’m not sure how to remedy this. I hope it’s not because I’m just too old to be creative.:(
oh #####! peripatetic punk! this is crazy good, ah the lead is some guitaring man. RIP t verlane. i know the singer, he blew town to get off the wagon. a heartwrenching tale of a sleazebag, so i guess it came down to country or surf — i’m riding wave with all the ##### i own in a cardboard box. seriously delirious stuff and there can’t be enough of it!
Now here is somebody who understands what I am trying to do here. You've been keen to my musical intentions over the past years, I can't fool you. ha!
I had the guitar sound and how I wanted to play it in my head for a week before I even started the song or picked up the guitar. Then it went together like it wrote itself.
always look forward to the poetry when i visit with you. holy ##### the verse is kinetic on its own and you bring it to furious groovy life. i love the additional vox — you are propulsive as hell, and the music track is fantastic i need to check out Yahwelle!
hello. damn this is lovely. i think the ‘rough’ mix really adds an undercurrent of urgency and real emotion to the tune. this style of synthpop gives me a lump in my throat. i hear echoes of david sylvian/japan. splendid track. RIP Sakamoto.
hey bud, long time. i am taken by the grand melancholy permeating the sound — the synth adds a cool, theatrical dimension. and yeah man, we can dance to it! your vox still captivate, you manage to be warm and remote simultaneously, a nice feat.
ps. the pops rule this.
hello. what a good addition to my listening day. i like the sombre-ness of the whole affair, and agree with danke on the mix (i’m always mixing mine too loud for some people, haha). plus i agree that additional instruments would be lovely on this. and you even tease them right in the last second with the plucks!
hey Michael! i like the pop / rock & the tension between the two. plus any song with a na-na-na-nana in it has me singing along. keep going, my friend!
very cool array of sounds, i really admire the mixing. that intro is tantalizing and the deep groove is kept lively by the shifting layers of instruments. really fine track!
Jynx! this is a ##### mashup, the banjo sample is a really cool catalyst that hooked me right away. as did the dark gnarl underpinning the whole shebang. this is a very tight 3mins, the stylistic slalom is a real headrush. it’s a pleasure to hear you, bud — you always bring the gusto. peace!
I had no idea how dependant I was on the sound system in
my old car 2013 Prius RIP 482,803.2km
I always used my car stereo as the final word on my tracks.
I see now that it will take me a while to adjust to my new sound system hate it. I'm not sure I can trust my favorite headphones either, they have suffered a lot of abuse over the years and, I know the end is near for them lol.
perhaps a new sound will emerge for me a better sound I hope.
Your comments are always very encouraging, you also have a way with your discription of tracks that gives me a different perspective on the way I think about the content in future tracks, thanks...
hello! well, you have another new listener. i love the mellow tone coupled with the probing soloing. you really know how to work a vamp, this is just a pleasure to follow. the gtr has an improvised feel and i love how you pace yourself, keeping it clean and lyrical but definitely gathering an intensity that rewards close listening. very pleased to meet you!
Thank you for doing such a surgical listen to this track. You are correct in saying I pace myself when I'm playing. It's a technique I use to set the ear up for the next solo riff so things don't sound redundant. If I don't feel I'm telling a musical story on a track, I wont upload it. Thank you again for the complete listen and comment. PEACE. T576 OUT.
hello Michael. nice to see this collaboration is still a going project! at first i thought you were gonna lean in a new wave direction, which would be interesting . not that i don’t think the solid pop-rock groove you went with is a bad decision! well done, my friend
BLu, this has that crazy angelic-earth thang like wings of desire the first time falling feeling. absolutely swinging, lethal, a snake sweetly coiled and crooning in my ear let’s go to hell.
im going to hell. what you wrote reminds me a bit of the scene from "natural bon Killer" when booth are high with this indian man and all the snakes gathering. beautifeul.

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 : )
