on In Depths With Piano by AirBass
digging this - big fan of cavernous pno sounds - really like the pno/synth outro - those few seconds mesh in way that might could be used earlier too. Thank you!!

on Tame that Cane by Wilobowski
This track contains the best gtr solo I've heard since the death of gtr solos = I dig the tradition, and this takes its own place.

on 17Reborn by oasisduke
wow, OD. a lot of remix/re-invention going on with yr music.
I find it all beautiful, complex, and rewarding. + a helluva lot of fun.
This track in particular = lovely depth. The mix simply kicks ass!
oasisduke
oasisduke replied Unknown
yay! im so glad you enjoyed it. i dont know about reinvention, since my work has always been kind of all over the place, but i am so pleased that artists such as yourself that i respect dig what im putting out.
thanks so much for listening!

on brain failure by chris0arseneau0

on Chania Sleeping by jfw
I love the gtr playing and the setting here - I can hear/see the physical guitar-playing through the track, which lend the synth voices terrific story-telling qualities.

on Fishy by mJagathees
that is one awesome locked-in groove, man! it'd be cool to hear you play around, over, or underneath it!

on strategie by selmane
like this very much - maybe some of that synth could be stepped on and provide additional dynamics? I'm a little conflicted here cause I dig the minimalism but I'm still looking for a lead...
this track rally works and has a great haunting sound!

on Hello Crush Ft Aliyarose by FrenchKid18
So cool and hot! Gotta echo the other reviews here. Fave sound - tight, crisp ride cymbal hits. This track is just a breath of fresh air!

Thanks a lot!Aliya came up with those very cool lyrics and I love her interpretation.
Glad you enjoyes

on Get Out of Here FEAT Woof ALT v by CalifKen
Lead vox line (is that you, Ken?) is really f*ckin good singing! Makes me feel like getting kicked out of home again.

Really like what your doing here, but with yr experience, it should dip below the surface as well

on Man swims Ocean to warn frog of World peace by Wilobowski
really nice live feel this track - i love the tension/release at play here! has an improvisational character; kinda was looking for a Subotnik-type butterfly resolution, but i like the way you did it perhaps even better! too rare to hear tracks like this - i'm glad you're out there, John!

on CHARLIES IN THE HEMISPHERE by theassociation
there is so much music happening here, it just needs a more powerful output level and some dynamics to heighten what you've done with the composition. thanks, man!

on Cyber-Surf by jfw
Hey, J. My avatar is my pal Werewolf the cat, lickin his paw. No lie, he likes picking strings and playing guitar. His fav is Black Sea or almost anything else by Fennesz.

Man, just consistently interstellar developments happening here, and I hope I'm not missing you completely, but there is just a lotta good-natured fun being had with sci-fi soundtrack conventions!

Thanks Michael - glad you liked it. BTW what is it thats pictured on your Avatar? - I cant make it out- been meaning to ask you for ages!
Cheers,

on Saltdog by MaxwellStud
I don't think PC would touch lyrics like this - which border on making me hallucinate about things under the sink - that broken gtr that kicks off the second half makes it for me, as does the overall hotel room ambience. Safe journey, man.

on Ichiro Hideaki - Animal Fat (feat. Jofanum) by IchiroHideaki
Must disagree with IWE this time around - the vox + gtr really work for me - this is def it's own thing but if you will allow a comparison it's like a Postcard label 45 shot into 2010. What a great mix of upbeat/downbeat materials!

on Fantaisie militaire cover by FrenchKid18
That's awesome looping + singing. Was that pno or really hard-edged damped-down gtr harmonics?

This is a great track and thanks for the avenue for us non-Gallic speakers to explore more music - I gotta check out Bashung.

I must admit my French music vocab is really limited. Etron Fou Leloublan, the original Honeymoon Killers, Plastic Bertrand (is he french?), Passion Fodder. Please point me towards more!!

As always, thanks!!

FrenchKid18 replied Unknown
Hi Michael,
Thanks a lot for this review.As I don't play the piano,I replaced it with guitar harmonics.Plastic Bertrand sings in french but he's actually from Belgium.I'm sure you'll love Bashung especially his album "Fantaisie militaire".You can also check AIR even if they sound quite British.And also a great band called Rita Mitsouko.
Tell me what you think about that.
Thanks again
French Kid
