on Rocking Piano Tune by chris40
ok, 4th listen, man this has real 'reaching out' quality that grabs these ears - the pno def carries the day initially, a good tune and a great sound, but the near-sub accompaniment makes this a killer track - if i hadda quibble, for me the splash cymbal's too prominent, some ride would be cool - but that's so beside the point - awesome ultra-compact and rather insidious rock n roll, man - all respect.

this is just such a groovy mind-##### - warm, hyperreal - leaves irony in the dust - the media is the massage - loads of respect

on Gonzo by jfw
Hello, Jamie - there's a spatial groove and great sound to this re-vision that almost cries out for voice-over, and of course i'm thinking Hunter.

04Oct2010 - this is a powerful set of music, fav applies to being able to hear the 5 as a set - hard, lyrical, beset but not beat - all respect for the vision + heart + music

on The March Of The Troglodytes by Codger
Hearing this as a companion-piece to or extension of Russian Tears, (second movement) and have a sense of more history/commentary in the making - the Metropolis references are very moving and effective. A striking track (pun intended (it's a curse)).
Then again, I could just be completely off my nut.
Respect, Codge

Hello Michael ~ I never intended this track to be a companion-piece to Russian Tears but you've got me thinking ~ Maybe a third movement and a fourth ~ Great respect back at you...

on Lift (updated) by Thethanx
v2: the additional production work on this is so fitting - this contains so much, and for me it's the thing happening in the interstices that really pull me in - awesome music, much respect

SixFingeredMan replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
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

Thanks

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 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........
