i love to listen to a whole set of music by an artist - what used to be called a side - this fav applies to the jun2010 tracks as a set - very rewarding and i think more interesting to listen this way - these tracks have a cumulative impact, a serious/playful identity at work - great compositions.
I make the same thing, by listening a max of music for each musician, and in your case, I find your music is (I don't know the exact word) 'mature', like a fruit on a tree ready to be taken and eaten.
Thanks !
like what yr doing, man - admire this production, def takes a few listens to hear all that's going on. ok, 3rd play - i'm floored brother - compact complex groovy music - and the trombones kill
Yeah, my composition theory is to start with something good and try to make it progressively better as the song goes on. Doesn't always work, but that's what I attempt to do. Since this song started out with a great riff, it wasn't hard to flesh it out a bit by emphasizing certain elements. Glad you liked it...
As always, thanks for the listen and review ~ I do appreciate it, bro.
StÃÂphane - hello! A gift to hear you and Wayne work together again - the sounds are sublime, but i gotta step out on a limb here and say the lyrics would be better served with drum in the last verse/chorus - nothing splashy but something that anchors the point - the finality, the track starts with such lightness, but by the end things just ain't funny anymore. well, how's that for two cents, my friend - peace.
Hey Michael,
Thanks for your review.I think you got a point with the drums in the end.I listened to the track again and you're definitely right!The problem is that I'm not a beatmaker really so I thought maybe you'd like to add the drums?
Thanks a lot for the very relevant suggestion anyway
Cheers

Thank you Michael,glad I could help bring his song back around a bit.I'll be visiting you...50 tracks...WoW,Thats a long way from Mir to Raindrops,i better put the coffee on.
I really dig the playing on this track - made me think of Fela playing with No Exit - the vox track didn't really work for me on this, i was totally into the instrumental groove and it was distracting - so i could be missing the point. i'll be back to get my head around that
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. I can't really sing, so I just read poetry intensely, I was trying to add another percussive element by doing so. Though I know what you mean by it being distracting.
this is some serious popul vuh (sp?) channeling! herzog is a great subject - one of the very few 'legends in their own minds' that deserve the attention - i don't often admire sheer ego, but i give it up to werner
Thanks, i did the song and then thought it reminded me of....yeah , they did the soundtrack to Aguirre, and yes Herzog is fig jam, but some of his early stuff left a mark, thanks again!
i love it when an artist puts up a set like you have with the RnB series - i get a whole album to listen to - so the fav applies to all. well i listened from top to bottom according to how they are posted so at the top RnBHipHop had me reaching in my stacks for Miles' 'You're Under Arrest' but as things got more piano-based down towards RnB1 i'm doing nothing but grooving to Jay. Thanks for the great set of tracks
pizzicato, gamelan, aco bass - i got all four feet in the LIKE camp - the drm sound is kinda trite tho and could use yr six fingers! always dig your sounds - peace.
Yeah, kinda forgot to go back and make the drums more interesting. Got caught up in all the rest of the song. I most likely should have taken more than the two days it took to make it and planed it out more. All in all though it's tolerable to listen to.
gonna be a lazy and comment on the 10jun2010 Bop tracks as a set - each def has a personality but the sensibility provides cohesion.
weirdly, gently challenging - articulate, intricate, and intractable - beautiful electronic music. many thanks.
Wow! Thankyou for first taking the time to listen and comment, and thankyou for such a nice comment, means alot! I set out to try and make those tracks how you described them and im glad atleast one person likes them, i'll hopefully be making some more very soon, so once again thankyou!

there's a very sweet fun-poking vibe you manage to carry thru-out this track - i didn't hear the earlier version, but after reading your page i think you got a lotta overtone and other rhythmic possibilities to play with here - looking forward to the next post (and checking yr other stuff, too)
Nice - you caught the "fun-poking" which I wasn't sure would get across. My trumpet playing daughter is 14, so finding the humor and fun for me is becoming increasingly challenging. I've come to accept the role of parents is to allow their teens to gnaw on our bones for practice. At least it is in my case - and she's soooo much better than I was at her age! The feedback and suggestions have been brilliant so far, so I have high confidence this one will evolve into something quite nice. Thanks for the listen and review.
really rewarding listening experience, and at 4.45 or 5.00 pretty ecstatic (in a quiet way). i was playing air bass at this point - have you toyed with dropping in a Wobble/Laswell type bassline? regardless, great music - thanks
Thanks Michael I had to go listen to see what you were referring to at 4.45...I searched for bass ideas but i had a toothache(thats my excuse anyway), but I was tryna funky up the reverb drums but gave up, I will revisit, ill let it be dloadable if you wanna add the air!!!
cheers and thanks again
