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

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
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
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...

on Plumas de Caballo by Vicen
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
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
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
Thanks

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

on Surrender by Ablaze7
EDIT 07SEP2010 - Many thanks + respect for your reply to a set of unreasonably hot-headed comments, which never even touched on the fact that i really do like this track.
This was the wrong place to vent, and if it means anything, I woke up in the middle of the night feeling like a fool. I meant to retract that review and was chastened and gratified by your message.
I do think there are are rational and adult things to say about how we as a community make music and I hope we may have that disucussion in the appropriate forum and on the higher level that you have demonstrated.

Now, if I may add a suggestion, because the last you are is a rip-off artist:

Description
I RE-VISIONED Celene Dions song Surrender and made it over from scratch with a up tempo beat.

Insulting review removed :)

Ablaze7 replied Unknown
Hey man I'm sorry if I came across the wrong way. After reading your comments I went back and looked at the track description and it does sound bad. Not tryna call down anyone. I came across this site while looking for sample loops and after being on it for a while I realized that so many guys like dusthill create thier own melodies and provide loops for people. It inspired me to stop using samples and create my own even if the inspiration comes from someone else's stuff. Didn't mean to offend honestly. Anyways point taken thanx for being str8 up.

on Sting by Codger
impossibly fun - maybe irrepresible is the word i'm looking for if i cd only spell it - it rocks, it has that frampton between-the-teeth-thingy, it wahs, it chases a flock of segulls at the beach - a serious thanks for your wonderful soul music

Thank you very much Michael for your very poetical review...

on Plankton by jfw
this is an amazing sound, Jamie - crystaline, liquid, percussive, seamless and swimming. the wonderful play between the macro and micro of a good dive in blue water.

jfw replied Unknown
Thanks for the words Michael - I am just back from snorkelling the reefs of the Red Sea - The marine life is so rich and colourful I felt like I was in a Jaques Cousteau movie!
