Must have missed this one, haven't been on much lately, let me explain. My septic system in my new (rented)house just crapped out on me and you just CAAAN'T put that shit off, lol! Been going on for like 3 weeks now, damn. OK now lets talk about this 3 song track of yours.

First part was pretty darn cool, very professional sounding, imho. The middle part takes on it's own feel and took me a few secs to acclimate to it. I liked the vocal snippets you used. The third part is a bit more rigid and really separates itself from the first two parts as far as it's feel and the vocal samples were cool. But I guess you want all three to be separate and still flow together, seems like you just did that pretty darn well.

Very cool track man. You have now mastered the 3 for 1 special. I will now bow in reverence. Namaste.

Wayne

Oh yes! Well done guys and hello! This has a very cool dub vibe going on. The dub guild, haven't heard that around here in a while. Great vocals and a great overall composition. Really diggin' the 3:00 - 4:00 minute section!!

Always great to hear music from you guys!!

Wayne

NateMonoxide has some of the coolest pellas here so good choice with the vox. The drums are pretty straight forward and the bass has a cool bouncy feel. It is very simple in it's instrumentation, maybe by choice(Simpleton reference?). It's mixed well, I think maybe another melody line in there with another instrument might fill it out more and give it a little more interest. It is catchy and I listened to it several times. Well done RPS!

Wayne

Hey, this sounds pretty good, cool beat, kinda chilled out pop. I like the lyrics and the message here, totally get it. I understand you used an inexpensive mic and I do agree with doudei that maybe re-recording them will help when you can do that but the music is solid, maybe a little remix when you can do the vocals. Nice job, well put together!

Wayne

Mix sounds super duper! Great transition between the first two parts. Some old school sounding laser effects. Vocal samples are cool, that last vocal bit was different. Some good music dude, you have been on a roll lately.

Wayne

I noticed soundhound did a remix on this and wanted to check this out. It's mellow with a bit of an edge. The piano is well constructed and to me is the lifeblood to the track. Nice atmosphere and a great collection of sounds all working well together.

Now off to review his version!

Wayne

Cool intro and samples at the beginning and end of this intro! Well done on the lyrics and performance. The singing part from 1:05 where you sing "and I'm at home there" is quite a catchy delivery. I hope it appears here and there in the song, it's a good little catchy hook. Well done overall, look forward to the full version.

Wayne

Well done on this one Doc! There is a cool, funky, smooth, acid jazz feel to this. I am a big fan of percussion, the bongos are a nice touch. The sax sample was a great addition. Liked the keys, I can hear a few different ones, all classic sounds. I think the mix sounds great but I'm only on my second cup of coffee. ;)

Can't really find anything to suggest or find wrong with the track, sounds like a keeper to me. Great job Doc!

Wayne

Well done, great song to cover. Well done on all the instruments, guitars sound perfect. I love doing covers and listening to other peoples renditions, this is just right!

Wayne

The soft pads and easy beat set a nice background for the soft and beautiful vocal track. Very sweet track. Nice break in the middle. A little mastering and this would be awesome!

Well done Simon and Angela Skeik!

Wayne

I absolutely love this track. I got into Louis Prima years ago and we played lots of standards in my band, Vince Guaraldi to Dave Brubeck and more so I can completely get into all these styles of jazz, blues, swing and dixieland. You did a great job mixing them all together and making it all make sense. You are quite talented Scott, great one here!

Wayne

I must say it is a very creative song. Cool bass for sure. The vocal samples were interesting, some sounded like they were drunk, lol. Overall the many effects on the vocals and the lyrics cannot be overstated!

Different from a lot of your music but I like different. I couldn't tell you a thing about acid music but sure liked this track, well done Spiv!

Wayne

You and staticnomad should battle it out for the longest track, lol. Haven't been around much, glued to the World Cup and haven't recovered completely from giving up that late goal against Portugal.

This is my first track of the day, listened on my headphones and sounded good to me. Each part had it's own distinct feel and personally I liked the groove and feel of the second half of the song, I guess it would be the middle part. I thought the steel percussion around 6:30 was a good choice. The parts seem to match up nicely and went well with my coffee.

Good luck with the move!

Like I said, just take it for what it's worth. I said I wasn't familiar with dubstep or even know what brostep is. All I was doing was making constructive criticism so that that vocals were easier to hear. Sorry if it offended you in any way. And I do like music that is outside the box but I also want to hear the vocals as well. Wasn't insulting you or your music, just trying to help, sorry, won't do that anymore.

It's interesting as is and I'm sure the final mix will be different. I would suggest making the drums a bit more interesting and use the wobble to make an impact, seems just a bit overdone. Now I am not a big listener of dubstep so I am only suggesting more from a general arrangement/producer point of view. As the vocals come in they seemed a bit drowned out by the wobble, maybe give them some room to shine. Just my 2 cents, take it for what it's worth.

Wayne

Definitely a heart pounding journey. Would sound great in the movie "Apocalypto" during some of the chase scenes. Loved the drums, very impacting. You made your own flute? That is very cool! Well done, track sounds great, lots of intensity!

Wayne

Nice one man, love acoustic guitars so right from the beginning I was interested. Thought the strings were a good choice. The song has a "soft" feeling to it, meaning there are no rough edges or any hard, bone jarring sounds, everything sort of blends together nice and easy. Mix is fine, I think I missed the original. Pretty cool track, dig it!

Wayne

Catchy song, clean sounding mix. Very upbeat, even a feel good type of song. Wished there were some vocals on this, that would be the cherry on top of the cake. Well done!

Wayne

I don't listen to much hh but I am glad I gave this one a listen. The vocals are very well recorded and have some nice effects on them. Cool story, great flow and a great voice. Well done, music is a bit repetitive but as I understand hh, that happens. Well done!

Wayne

Sweetness! Love the feel of this track from the first note. The flute was creatively put to use here and has a very cool undertone to the song. There is a slight Latin feel to this and I like that. The use of percussion is fantastic and the arrangement and flow to the song is just great. Wonderful composition my friend. Amazed as always!

Wayne

Complex track. Love all that you did here. Can't give you technical genre help cuz I know nothing of electronic music but the sounds, loops, samples and everything else gelled seamlessly. Felt like this track went on for days, lol, mean that in a good way. Long interesting tracks are long and interesting. Th emix and overall sound sound of the track is the first thing I noticed, great quality.

Well done man!

Wayne

First, best of luck with any battles you are fighting.

The song is cool, I could hear David Byrne singing on this one. The bass stands out, carries the rhythm. Drums sound pretty good as well. I like all the space here. makes the little things stand out more. The vocal sample, yeah, has some cool effects on it and is a catchy hook. Very well done Spiv, reaching new heights with this one. fav and a dl, thanks!

Wayne

The female vocal track is great, wonderful voice and works well with the music. The music is stellar, pretty cool dubstep track. The bass rips and there is so many cool sounds and effects that pop up and keep the song so interesting to listen to. Definitely liked the ending. Dubstep isn't my usual listening genre but this really is a trip!

Wayne

I am glad you posted this as I am ready for the World Cup to begin. Can't say much in the way of technical help as this upbeat electronic music isn't what I usually do but it's upbeat, fun and packed with energy. It has a very international feel. Liked the honky tonk piano to start with and the game clip must sit in the hearts of all Aussies.

Good to see you again.

Wayne

Hey Richie! Glad to see you around these parts again and to hear that the work is almost done at the house, that must be a relief. I remember this one when it came out but can't recall who did it. I haven't heard the version you mentioned that this one is styled after so I can give you a pretty unbiased review.

This is very laid back and simplified as far as the music goes, maybe even r n b in a way. When it started I gad no idea what song it was, the piano run at the beginning was a nice touch. Pauline has a beautiful and clean sounding voice, love her rendition.

Mix is fantastic, like where you put the vocals, maybe lead and fills could be a little louder, I mean if you got got it flaunt it, lol. The tracks sounds great, totally love this chilled version.

Well done Richie!
