Thank you very much. I have made many songs, but until yesterday I had dared to raise them, so I am very grateful for your words.

on Boxes by tkane
forgive me for for the single review - but the set you put up today is truly like side 1 of a great album - in the sense that together there is a whole story that would be diminished by isolating a single track.
this is great songwriting + playing - i love hearing the drums take the lead and carry the tunes - the tumbling and rolling gtr style - melodic keys.
trombone. you f^cker i could hunt you down and kill you for this. but sorry i died and went to heaven instead.
keep going, kane!

on Walkin In The Dark by SpyderX
i really like how the vox came out on this - emo woulda sucked - great gtr sound and that middle section works!
SpyderX
SpyderX replied Unknown
Thanx, Michael. I'm thinkin' of maybe re-recording the vox in a lower key and cleaning up the chorus vox a bit. Glad you like 'em like they are though.

Appreciate the listen and review, bro.

Peace,

Spyder

on Summer Sunset by deanmacgregor
hello, dean - this is such a well-balanced piece! elegiac but never saccharine. i love this track but i'm completely smacked down by the first three or five seconds - that little bittersweet statement is a killer.

on Jammin with mr H by Kikajon
this is a great collaboration with all the right elements in place, but i gotta speak truth to power - not unruly enough!!
there's too much manners, like you guys didn't wanna upstage each other or something. I understand the constraints of virtual collab, but get yr fights on. this is a great track and deserves another round and i'd never say anything like this if i didn't love you! peace in a rumbling kind of way
Kikajon
Kikajon replied Unknown
Well, this is actually a first and we probably get back in there. Eventually.
But thanks for your eager will to make our track better. And to quote Randy Bachman of BTO: You ain't seen nothin' yet. :D Cheers mate/pmk

really digging the super-tweaked epno - love how the track catches more breath at ~1.00 - that's a really cool pause - and then gets even better!

on Scars Won t Ever Heal Collab with Chris Charles by Gordw
you are pulverizing me here - this is so sweet that my cynical side says it's more ironic than twin peaks - but no it's just too genuine - a beauty
Gordw
Gordw replied Unknown
Thanks Michael for your review. I value it man. I know my lyrics have happened time and time again and some would say same old same old but it's all out of my heart and my life. Thanks for getting that, you have a real way with words. Take Care Friend

another master class syn-gtr piece - very partial to the second half and the all-too-brief clean lead statement and subtly colliding washes

on Circuit Breaker by jfw
chops + composition really well-balanced - if there is justice in the world we'll hear you work that roland(?) with a live rhythm section - cool melodic playing. do you have any gig recordings?
jfw
jfw replied Unknown
Thanks for listening again Michael. Unfortunately I dont think I have any live stuff, if I do it will be years old. Cheers,
Jamie.

on ghetto prophetic by arkeyetexture
gotta declare a pref fr the live mix (esp @ high volume) - that is until 4.30 where the studio sound really kicks in to these ears - no scholar but i do love what yr doing keeping the classics relevant!
arkeyetexture
arkeyetexture replied Unknown
hey thanks again! the bassline was just given me fits. sounded good playing thru media player and itunes, and audacity. but once i heard it thru the site player i sounded like it was clipping. so ive been fiddling around now for days to get it rite. i myself liked the flow of the live piece too. thanks for the ear and review, twice!

on My restless soul by JaNjYp
cool setting + arrangement for Lady J! dig the rolling & tumbling gtr style. now when that harmonica voice was introduced early on, that was interesting - heard some bagpipe-type skirls there, dunno if that was harp, keyboard, or what but that was a new sound and worked very well. thanks for the great music jvp!

on Boogie Bot by Karnivll
re jump-cutting - a lot like what yr already doing at around 2.23 where the tempo has an instant shift rather than bein dialed up or down - but using a nano-second of black or white or pink space to heighten the dislocation - startle the temporal lobe - a synaptic discontinuity in the sheets of sound. goddam i sound like i need more coffee or something, maybe librium. peace K.

man you know how to end a track - that little click blew a fuse. i'm digging the twists and tweaking on this - y'know what might be fun on those tempo changes is jump-cutting to diminish the knob-twisting aspect as well as more subtraction/addition of the sound materials, not exactly dub-wise but weird the way you are - stay that way!!
Karnivll
Karnivll replied Unknown
Thank you I do intend to stay this way. Glad you liked it and thanks for giving it a listen.

Now, I'm not following you on "jump-cutting to diminish the knob-twisting aspect". What does that mean? I'm kinda new to this so lemme know what that means and I'll see what I can do.

really dig this track - takes pop-syn sounds that used to be tired and rewrites the book
