this really works, connects on all the levels - gotta be up there with your best vox - new life, relevance for power-ballads - much admired, great respect, pmk

Thanks Michael. Since I consider myself a guitarplayer/songwriter first your comment on the vocals is unexpected and much appreciated. Thanks again for your very kind words.
Cheers

on Minute Jazz by SixFingeredMan
hello, 6 - man every second counts, this is great sound construction that don't sound like sound construction - the real deal, man - all respect!

Thanks, I was going with that relaxed flowy jazz sound. Been wanting to do something like it for a while. Glad you can dig on my groove.

on miss you by EJA
this is not a good critical term but i love the 'feel' of this track - and the way the bass harmonics play with the percussion is so right on - very playful and well-played - much respect

on Midnight Train to Varanasi (No Return Ticket) by DevonHarlow

on Spring Is Coming by Ohropack
I meant i was eating my heart out - sorry for the dumb attempt at a joke - just gotta tease a person with an avatar like yours for killing me with this outrageous music - not to mention, i like the pic a lot, too

REV: I don't mean anything about you or about anybody by commenting on the pic either - GAHH - just want to hear that music!!
Ohropack
Ohropack replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
hehe dont worry about that.
and dont worry about making jokes as long as you listen good music.

Thanks

I'm happy that you like this song :)

on Spring Is Coming by Ohropack
hello, Andy - if you could just speed up that intro, you might have something here. HA
for the love of God, this is f^ing breathtaking, man
Ohropack
Ohropack replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
What do you mean?
Make the intro shorter or faster?

Thanks for your reply :)

on Lift (updated) by Thethanx
not a producer, but from this listener's pov - this is really a lovely and flowing piece of music - the stitches or breaths (as opposed to cuts) add a perspective - without that really cool human touch this might sound more like a collage rather than a tapestry, which is what i'm hearing - much admired
Thethanx
Thethanx replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks for the review! I always try and make an effort to make sure my pieces "flow" together so it's nice to hear that it shows. Thanks again!

on Feng Shui by jfw
well, whether the title begat the composition or vice versa, this is beautiful arrangement - it's smooth and easy to kick back with, but i always appreciate the inventiveness deeper listening reveals in your music. fav sound - the 'flute' trilling!!
jfw
jfw replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks Michael - I love big arrangements and flute trills add a great dimention to them!

on Forever by Ablaze7
I love how this deals with the theme - it's deep and serious and you gotta work a little to appreciate the real sweetness of it.
Suggestion? Maybe another drumline or percs entering in later to enhance the sense of two if that makes any sense... much respect
Ablaze7
Ablaze7 replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Sup Michael. I totally agree. I'm gonna do that and maybe make the track a bit longer. Thanx for your input bro. Much love........

on M-Theory by jfw
i think you've got a trilogy or a suite or something on yr hands here - this takes v1 into a dreamtime - and i'm dreaming a summation culmination what have you of these approaches... the two versions make statements that beg for resolution... keep going!! (gonging?) even if it has to be put up in parts...

dark mystical re-invention of the Watchtower riff, gloomy and groovy sounds

on M-Theory by jfw
hello, Jamie - loving the transcendant DNA / string twines (quadropines?) of the lead lines here - the percussive or gamelan line is really buried way in the mix - it would be great to hear that aspect developed a bit further...
gamelan fusion is mind- and spirit-bending stuff - ever hear any Lou Harrison from the 40's/50's?
jfw
jfw replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks for commenting Michael. I really like Lou Harrisons stuff which I'm fairly certain I was turned onto by you in a previous comment you made about him when reviewing one of my tracks - so many thanks for that!

Jamie.

on Brain beats relax by SixFingeredMan
6 my friend, the places you go to relax! i dig active meditations like this!
SixFingeredMan
SixFingeredMan replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
At the moment this is just an experimental track and not fully thought out. I plan on having much longer tracks with the binaural less noticeable perhaps in the future. Not really sure I have the whole binaural thing down. Need to study it more. That's the fun of experimentation. Yes with ADHD, meditation and relaxation is much different for me. So are the ways to achieve it.

on When Im Gone by Ohropack
don't think i heard the earlier version but i really lock in to that trumpet line - that's a great lyrical lead sound for this cool and wistful bumpy track
Ohropack
Ohropack replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks

Now that I fixed my problem with my mic with the help of a looperman user, I will work on record the lyrics.
