mr. micheal_stokes, thank you for your review. strength to strength, well i have to admit that without this community and its dope artists, my strength would go down a notch, kinda like sampson with no hair!! though im no sampson...this community truly humbles me and again i thank you for your encouraging words. peace and respect

on Soul Connection by CSoul
I think the best yet - i do keep associating with your street movie and the way eternity happens in small beautiful instances - it's great to hear the journey reflected in your music - even if that's only my pov! More power to you + peace brother.

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 - 2028 years ago
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

on Sing by EVRiM
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 SLAVE TRAIN by 3rdKind
oh man the staggered tempo/s make this happen - strange haunting sound that really presents the theme - excellent turntable vibes - almost cries out for dips + scratches - thanks oz this is a gift

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 - 2028 years ago
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

on Distant Shoreline by jfw
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 - 2028 years ago
Thanks for listening again Michael. Unfortunately I dont think I have any live stuff, if I do it will be years old. Cheers,

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 - 2028 years ago
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 - 2028 years ago
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

on theorem dubwize by arkeyetexture
this is algebra the way it should be taught in schools - high on math - let X = dub
arkeyetexture
arkeyetexture replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
and if X=dub let A=delay, B=cut off, C=envelope, and D=resonate. find the resulting effects of the combined calculations of the sum of the factors............. he he. thanks for the listen bro, and huge compliment on the fav. peace and bless! ark

on Pieces by LisMarie
LM - it's so good hear you and esp to hear you in control of the situation in this song! That lower register you're singing in here is perfect for the theme and backing instruments. Powerful!

on U.B. by Skyroads
really digging this - i hear a 3-part structure that makes an interesting composition - only crit is that no switches were flipped on the pno til the very second, i would say there's room to play with that aco sound; not obliterate it but play maybe underneath it
Skyroads
Skyroads replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

on Paranoid Camel by Gardar
terrific over-driven sound - i can only imagine that it's the kaos pad giving it that strange hand-held vibe - man, you know how to coax a spooked camel!
Gardar
Gardar replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks man, yeah the pad is a wonderful influence to the sound! im aiming for something different and i think this is quite the direction at least.. and nice chapel you got there, will take me some time to run through your books;)
