on Water Treatment by Zootman
Ahh, very meditative approach to the track, peaceful, tranquil. The drips are nice. You have a good grasp on making an audible place to go and visit in my mind.

I like these kind of tracks, water ones are nice. I have an hour long cd of ocean waves on a beach that would put me to sleep in no time.

Well done again!

Thanks Wayne. On a calm night I can hear the sea while lying in bed. I love that.

on The Robots Sing by Kirkoid
This is interesting, glad I gave this one a try. Some good dynamics to the track. Lyrics in morse code, now that's a new take on things! You should try Braille next, ha, just kidding.

Would sound good in a hi-tech thriller movie. Mix sounds good too!

Braille, sounds like a challenge, I suppose I could replicate a music box or piano roll, hmm...

on Dreams In The Hangar by StarTravels
Intro was cool and when it kicked it I was totally impressed! I liked the description, as others have mentioned, it's quite spacey sounding which I like. Nice mix, great collab...again!

This would be a hit on Alderaan at some far out cantina, lol! Thanks for entertaining me!

Hi there Wayne,
I (Micky) personally am very happy that the description could contribute something to the imagination, because at first I was unsure whether it made any sense at all. But it sure is a good substitute if you don't have a video to convey what you had in mind while composing. Oh god I can't even think about how much a video for our tracks would cost... the spacey stuff.
Nice that you checked in
Cheers from Micky & Robbie

on Surge by pseudoble
The music is fantastic, atmospheric and creative. Nice use of the space as far as panning and effects. The vocals were different, the poem was interesting. Liked how you ended it!

Big sounding mix from the first note. Then the arpeggiated guitars are classic. The effects and guitar tones are nice. Hell of a track fellas!!

on Just When You Think by Micky
You guys come up with some unique sounding material, I must say. It's different, has some catchy pop stuff, a bit of funk and soul in there too. The intro was very cool and the song has a full sounding mix. Well done fellas!!

Have you ever heard the American Prayer cd by the Doors?

Kinda reminds me of that, interesting, poignant, and cool all at the same time.

on Twilight by Zootman
I really like this kind of music, ambient, spacey, ethereal...

It's a nice piece, calming and peaceful, would be good for meditation. Well done!

Wayne
Zootman
Zootman replied 15th Jul 2022 - 3 years ago
thanks Wayne, yes i find it quite meditative myself. i wonder if somehow our minds realise that the sound source is comes from something physical rather than electronic like from a synth, and that helps with the vibe?

on Maybe We can Try by Jynxz
Another very creative and well mixed track. Valve Driver mentioned Art of Noise, once I read that I absolutely agree with him. I like how the vocals sit in the mix too, it's not easy to get them to sit right, great job!

Hey Wayne, It's a great day (for me) when
I get not only a listen ,comment but a Fave
from a LM legend like yourself. When I first
got here (LM) I never imagined such a thing. It
is incredibly encouraging.

Thank you for your listen , comments and Fave.

PEACE, from the Beach, up North...

on MeMyself AndI ish by Jynxz
First off, this place is awful for the genre listings available if you make real music, rock, pop, latin jazz and folk. Ok, weird works too but to me this is fusion, oh yeah fusion is available. ha!

It's good, upbeat, fun, lighthearted and interesting to listen to. The guitars are fitting, the synths are outstanding, drums are well put together too.

I have a Johnson mandolin so literally I play with my Johnson from time to time. I do have to use both hands tho so I'm sorta proud of that. But I get where you're coming from, he!

on Billy Drongos Analysis by pseudoble
This is cool. The music is wonderful, puts you in a trance then the whipping starts, yes!

Mix is great, nice lows, great mids and highs. Balanced mix, stereo field is full and the levels are spot on.

Creative, well done man!

on Mercy by Lonelyawxy
There is some great dynamics in the track. The song is solid, would love to hear some proper vocals on it.

I think it would benefit the song to maybe cut some of the limiting or compression on the master track. I think it would help separate the instruments a bit more and help cut some of the overdrive. It's just a bit hot to my ears and looking at the waveform it suggests that. But I also know some people want that sound and it may be done intentionally so take that all with what my old ears tell me. :)

on jesus has a mighty sword by Zootman
Hey! This is great, the vibe is very cool. This should be in the movie Boogie Nights, lol!!

Great tempo to walk to with some decent headphones so you can hear the bass loud. Vox work perfectly. What can I say that hasn't already been said, sweet track man!

on I Dont Like Bananas When They Get Too Ripe by CitizenMofo2
I put my bananas in the refrigerator, they last longer. When my bananas get old, I peel them and put them in a plastic bag in the freezer for a frosty banana treat, yummy!

I like the heartfelt vocals, they're touching, ha! Humor should be in music, twisted, sarcastic, satirically laden...whatever.

Nice, fun, different!

Wayne
CitizenMofo2
CitizenMofo2 replied 25th May 2022 - 3 years ago
Thank you, Wayne. Refrigerated bananas are tricky, as I'm sure you know, because if you don't eat them right away when you take them out of the cold, they turn black rather quickly, and squishy. I can eat a somewhat squishy banana but only with a crunchy accompaniment like peanuts or pepitas. I also have a TinySong about peanuts and several about trailmix where I've worked out the finer details of these foods. I'll be reporting back shortly, tune-wise, with some of those important learnings.

on Aint life grand by pseudoble
This is cool, different for you! Music reminds me a bit of Gary Numan. I like the approach of the vocals with the more electronically based music. There's a good dichotomy of sounds going on here.

Neat, liked it!

on halfpipe Burn by rockoff
Cool man, I love surf music and Dick Dale has his own folder in my favorites. I like the feel you got going on this one. Dick would have loved this one, right up his alley, lots of cool expressive sounds on the guitar. He played a strat, especially designed by Leo Fender himself. But those guitars are also perfect for surf music!

Well done!

DD did a Guitar Center stop, there's several vids showing his talents one day at a store visit, a few years before his death. You'll like this, 3 piece and he's playing loud!

on Microbiome by CitizenMofo2
Don't talk about germs and microbes, on my way to the doctors for strept throat, swolen glands and ear infection. Oh those tiny creatures, they rule the world, don't they.

This is different, short but gets to the point. Good lyrics!

Off to see Dr. Feel Good!

Take care!

CitizenMofo2 replied 21st May 2022 - 3 years ago
Thank you, Wayne, and good luck with the doctors! I have had many ear infections and many poor ear doctors, so be careful! If your hearing is diminished, it may be because you have fluid in your eustachian tube, something a competent doctor can deal with easily but an incompetent doctor will misdiagnose as permanent hearing loss. So be careful and good luck!

on Same Old Thing by pseudoble
I dropped and cracked my Tibetan singing bowl a few years back. Man the beautiful sounds you can make with them and a wooden stick.

This is pretty chilled out, laid back, hit the bong goodness, lol! A bit trippy. There's lots going on, much to listen to.

It's well mixed, I can hear everything clearly. Cool atmosphere and feel to the track, great job!

I love surf music and you made me happy with this one. I live in a big surfing area so this vibe and with the weather starting to get hot, this track puts me in the proper beach attitude!

What kind of guitar did you use? Jazzmaster?

Cool stuff!

on Out of Africa by CitizenMofo2
I saw that climate change and the deforesting of Africa forced the apes to walk upright to see predators in the tall grasses that flourished in their new habitat. Oh my aching back! Drought caused issues with the Sumerian civilizations. How bad are the droughts out in the western US now? Dang!

Interesting piece, stark, menacing, robotic, futuristic, barren at times. The vocals go well with the music, they compliment each other.

I have a monkey hat that I sometimes wear to remind me of where we came from. Just kidding. I wear it to amuse my grandkids.
The past is interesting to learn about because it's always changing. Or, that is, our understanding of it is.
I'm interested in the sunken continents like Beringia and Doggerland. I believe they're rich with ancient settlements, artifacts and bones that would completely change our human storyr, but we can't get to them as they're underwater. It always amazes me that, the more we know, the less we know. Everything I learned in school is now wrong. But, I guess, that just keeps it interesting.

Spacey, a bit experimental, psychedelic, and a little weird, lol. But that's good because it challenges my ears to understand what you guys are doing here. Cool, trippy listen, almost a 70's soul/rnb feel to it.

Loved every bit of it!
