on SingASong by danbo
the more i hear your music the more interesting it becomes
danbo
danbo replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks Michael_Strokes, but what I launch on this site has to be light, 'cause of the weight of the files (max 5 Mo). The original music (it's the case for all) is longer and richer, because there are other instruments palying and many diffÃÂrent sounds giving a special space to it.
It's possible to hear this a my sell space on http://nicrunicuit.free.fr.
You'll see the difference.

Thanks for reply...Life is invention

on Lost in Space by FrenchKid18
StÃÂphane! This kills me from start to the mag fadeout - funny ##### and deadpan cool lyric performance - the backing is so right, nervy in the sense of the best big gtr powerpoop - i'm talking like really early Cheap Trick (in color / in black and white) where the lead is fun and not ##### and the rhythm gtr chops yr legs off. i know i've griped at you about drums on an earlier reload, but i think there's a lot going for the drum track on this one - esp the cymbal rides! well, hopefully you can see you've made me pretty dang happy to listen to this track!!

on Yellow Stone by danbo
enjoy/kill - love/hate - really i think you are beyond that constricted spectrum - hell, even if 'i' as a construct don't 'like' a particular track or a sound within that track there is always something of greater interest occurring - hypercontextual as always
danbo
danbo replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Yes, I agree with your opinion. I've discovered that what we love or not depends on humour, and the situations we live at a precious time.
Don't worry, Enjoy/kill means also :"Yes, today, I'm (not) able to listen to this or that...
Thanks

review + fav = 28jun210 set - not a prof re these genres, but this is the ##### far as i'm concerned - boxes shredded, presets deleted, cats at the wheel - these tracks are wild things

on FunkyMono by danbo
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.
danbo
danbo replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
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 !

on Sakashita Stomp by SpyderX
i love how you hone in on that riff and stomp it to life/s
SpyderX
SpyderX replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
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.

Peace,

Spyder

on She makes no magic anymore by FrenchKid18
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.
FrenchKid18
FrenchKid18 replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
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

on Mercy Mirsi by Thisisnonombre
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
Thisisnonombre
Thisisnonombre replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
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.

on HERZOG by theassociation
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
theassociation
theassociation replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
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!

on RnB1 by PradaJ
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

on In the Beat of the Night by SixFingeredMan
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.
SixFingeredMan
SixFingeredMan replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
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.
