This was very good. I could see it being in a Halo [the video game] loading screen.

Peace.

on Europas Whales by Zootman
Jupiter's moon Europa with methane rivers, yes I know it. Nice track for sure Zootman. Love the buoy sound that dings in. It seems we are ahead of our time, maybe NASA or Musk seeks this out for when they are going to the moon to conquer it. Maybe they are mistaken in for some signs of alien life right now. Maybe the Men in Black will knock on your door sometime soon.

Thanks Johnnie, I sincerely hope we find some form of life beyond earth before I pop my clogs. Might provide some much needed perspective!

This is clean as heck. As somebody who writes a lot of lyrics filling out a beat can be a challenge at times, you have done a good job.

on Hallow Thoughts Black by JoeyBonezSD1
Nice track, nasty flow. Vocals are coming through clearly. Dark vibe for sure, but sometimes it gets dark just so can get bright.

This is nice, super chill vibe. Definitely suspenseful, I love the guitar.

on Disco Spirit ft MELVATRON and Charlotte - 2024 rmx by BaoBou
The vocals fit so nicely over the track. Did you build the track around the vocals or was it just a great match as soon as you laid the acapella over the instrumental? Disco is always super chill, and non-intrusive I think I could listen to a lot of it.
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 27th Feb 2022 - 3 years ago
Thank you!
Ha, the story is funny: I have something like a hundred unfinished projects (that's not even exaggerating), and for most of those I have short clips of say 1:00-1:30, bits that are not terrible but miss something: some spark, some surprise, some twist, a vocal, etc.
I regularly download some to my phone to use as alarm or phone. This one was my kitchen timer :D
So when I was going through the acapellas (which I rarely do) for inspiration and heard Melvatron, I knew right away it was a straight fit. Well, straight... I rearranged and expanded the track, cut up Melvin (sorry), added a break, some instruments, the backing vocals of Charlotte, some fresh drums and hey presto, it was done ;)
Easy peasy lemon squeezy as we say in London!

on Modnex - Twenty22 by Modnex
I love the instrumental and the vocals are a nice colorful touch, it kind of reminds me of the opening scene of -Apocalypse Now-, when the Doors are playing and Martian Sheen is losing his mind.
Modnex

Thanks, John! I appreciate the kind remarks. I've never seen that movie before, but I'll definitely give it a watch. Thanks for stopping by.

Super mellow track, really makes me think of nature, I could for sure see chilling out to some lo-fi for a while after listening to this.

on The Up Move by kingmt77
This is brilliant. I love the sax. Jazz is not something I listen to pretty much unless I am at my grandfathers house. Haha. Or when I'm on looperman. Gave it a favorite.

John, ok so yep, just segway on over and put a smile on grandpa’s face by playing jazz on that piano you have LOL! I really appreciate you stopping in and giving me feedback on this track. Also the fave is not taken lightly. Have an awesome and safe weekend.

on Valley of giants by bringerofDOOM
Super mellow track, seems like something I could meditate to. Or like a track that a taped medidation course would be run over.

I like it a lot very well done.

Very dark sounding track. Creative use of the synths. Nice build up. Definitely a scary track.

Excellent track, psychedelic seems like what I would call it. Definitely something to head bang too. The vox are a great touch, its like three songs in one.

Nice track your description is spot on.

This reminds me of the waiting screen for zombies in the call of duty video games.

on The fog by sirefox
Excelente pista, me recuerda un poco a Avicii (solo necesita un poco de voz) RIP. Excelente pista, las construcciones son una locura. Parece que esta va a ser la pista más reproducida en looperman con bastante rapidez. Felicidades por tan buena pista. Y gracias por comentar el mío.

on Bee - pseudoble by pseudoble
I don't know what to say. It looks like everybody said it already. Kind of a nostalgic vibe I am getting. You have got me thinking of the opening scene to a bugs life.

pseudoble replied 1st Feb 2022 - 4 years ago
Hey Johnnie - thanks for listening - its a small and gentle piece largely using the modular synths to shape the sound - I did title it Bee because I could see a bee buzzing between the flowers as this played : )

on Chill Baby Chill by crucethus
I'm Chillllin baby. Those synths sound nice. For some reason it makes me think of a ball game. Maybe that's because I'm in side trapped by two feet of snow.

Ahh, Boston. My fav city in the US. 544 Tremont st Addis Ababa had the best Ethiopean but sadly closed, or I remember Drinking in the Sam Adams brewpub in the Phoenix, while I was wearing an IHL Kc Blades Jersey, the bathroom was in the Hotel, and I distinctly laughed when the swanky couple walking behind me said. ¨He must be canadien¨. At the time I wasn´t but ironically now some 27 years later I am a Canadien having married one, and moved to Quebec. Artu, Italien, Redbones in Sommerville. Gawd I miss that Nawlins style BBQ! And maybe this song belongs at a ballgame, I will take two Fenway franks any day! I caught a game in 95 (Rangers-Bruins) at the old Gahden when Moss still grew on the ceiling in march. Thanks for checking in and don´t be a stranger. Boston people and Worcester people have been some of the kindest people I have encountered. I would gladly pay forward a Dunkin Donuts Coffee for yah mate!

on Hard Times by ClickbaitCabaret
Nice mix. Definitely a super dark vibe. I would say let me put some lyrics over it but I do not want to be known as the "scary rapper" nonetheless this was still a very entertaining listen.

on Never Letting Go by BAKITTO
This sounded great in my headphones. Brings bac memories of Avicii. RIP.

Very cool track. Are the Vox orginal?
BAKITTO
BAKITTO replied 9th Mar 2022 - 3 years ago
Thanks for the support! The vocals are not original as I got them off splice. They are from the ( Platinum Hybrid Trap ) sample pack and are originally in G# minor. All I did was pitch them up and add some EQing and some reverb.

on J15th by DollarMenunaire
I just posted my first track in over a year. Figured I would come check it out again. I always have enjoyed the feedback the population on this website brings.

Very nice track. Reverse instruments are always trippy and sometimes euphoric. When you leave them on their own, they can sound creepy. Nice job.

on walk it off by Zootman
The intro horns and the rest of the instrumental track could be funny looped into blooper content.

The vocals sound clean. A loaf of bread, cannot go wrong there.
Zootman
Zootman replied 17th Jan 2022 - 4 years ago
Sometimes the simple things are best. Yeah I could imagine this going with bloopers!

Not my typical style, I like the vibe though maybe I try out lyrics on a track like this sometime.

I love the intro sample, it sounds super clean. The vibes switch up a little when the full track comes in. Still sounds very nice though.
