on Runner in the Dark by Spivkurl

I'm not kidding when I say this is my favorite track on this entire site, period, lol.

Anyone who dares to say electronic music has no soul has never listened to this song!

Perfection...!

Spivkurl replied Unknown

Thanks friend! This is one of my favourites too, which is why it got placed as track one on my new album! Your reviews make me smile, and I'm honoured by the fave!

on Brandywine by Spivkurl

Woot!

I should have quite a bit of fun remixing this one. It has that nice quirky bounciness to it, your music really reminds me of early Aphex Twin tracks in so many ways.

I'll see what I can come up with, this should be interesting!

Spivkurl replied Unknown

Thank you so much! Being compared with Aphex is a big compliment! I'm really glad you liked this track, and I'm eagerly awaiting your remix! Thanks for the review and fave!

on Ode To Tika by ShojoBeast

This one is lovely, probably my favorite track from you so far! I like that it's a bit sad without being too much of a downer, all of the subtle little ambient sounds blend together quite nicely!

You're getting really good at this, I'm impressed!

on Manga-Heads by ShojoBeast

Loved it! It has a nice bit of quirkiness to it, lol. The thunder and windchimes were oh so appropriate too!

Beautiful, I can really hear a signature sound developing here!

on Falling Star by tinphish

This one is quite lovely! I was aching to hear some strings thrown in at some point though, lol, that would be sweet!

on Getting up by Fuuuuu

Beautiful! How is it that no one has reviewed this one yet?

Reminds me so much of Aphex Twin, the glitchy drums especially.

I tried FL Studio once and just couldn't get my head around it, lol! You seem to be coming along nicely with it though!

on Cotton Hall by Fuuuuu

Very nice!

I love the way you've combined familiar Dubstep elements with some very original sounds of your own.

I also like combining harsh abrasive tones with soft melodic ones, lol.

Consider me impressed!

Fuuuuu replied Unknown

Thank you :D

I'm sure I'm not the first to think of it >_>

on Trip to tha Middle-East (Rough Ver) by yeshintae

Nice, you weren't kidding about the strings!

The clap/snares sound just a tad bit to loud to my ears, but it could just be these headphones I'm wearing, lol.

This one has a ton of potential, please finish it soon!

Off to hear some more now!

yeshintae replied Unknown

Much Respect from LA

on Springirl by FrenchKid18

Sounding great so far! Just crank the drums up a bit and then you've got a winner, lol.

I love the double tracking on the vocals, that is a really nice touch; I believe it's the first time I've heard you do that, you should do it more often!

You better believe I will be back to do some more listening real soon.

Peace!

FrenchKid18 replied Unknown

Thanks a lot for the review,I've been listening to a lot of early Beatles recently and my head is full of vocal harmonies :)
Glad to hear from you

on Jurassic Park by Alen9R

Ha ha, here it is! Just as kick-ass as I remember it too, lol.

This is probably one my favorite songs on this site, honestly! Those drums are as ferocious as a pack of hungry Raptors, they sound just plain dangerous!

Faved and downloaded right away!

Alen9R replied Unknown

Thank you Koukotsu , I think this is one of my worst mastering track, ever Hahaha, but I'm glad you like it!

on Cherry Age ft Minette by JohnnyHunter

Excellent vocoder work! I have such a hard time taming that finicky BV512 but you make it seem so easy. And I see that you are just like me in the sense that everything you upload is a never ending work in process, lol! Oh well, perfection takes time and patience!

One thing that immediately struck me was the "punchiness" of the track, I've been using Reason for more than 2 years now and I just can't seem to get my tone to "pop" like that. Care to enlighten me? lol.

Wonderful track, you could just about get away with copying/pasting the first half to simply double the length and voila! No longer a work in progress, lol.

I'm looking forward to hearing more from you, but I really need to go to bed now... so tired!

JohnnyHunter replied Unknown

Hello and again sorry for the late reply. I'm glad you like the pitch change I did. It drove me a bit mental trying to change the vocal without loosing too much quality and adding nasty frequencies. I just accepted it eventually. lol and yes! My stuff is never finished. I am hoping one day something will click and i'll discover i can finish at least one track!

I'm not quit sure now how I make it punchy... Just neverending changes to the EQ, compressors and limiters. I have really bad habits that I have conjoured over the years from trying to work out things on my own. SOMETIMES, they work :p

Hehe yes, I might try that! Although, I think I may have lost this track with lots of others when I had to format after some curruption on the drive :(

Thanks again for listening. And sorry for not replying sooner.

Johnny

on Trumpeters Kingdom by ShojoBeast

This reminds me of some of the RPG's that I used to play, (I still play them actually, lol) like when you go to the castle to see the king you know? Good call, maybe I'll be playing games with your music in the soundtrack one day, lol!

I just love how original you are, it really makes you stand out from the crowd.

Fantastic work Shojo!

ShojoBeast replied Unknown

Thanks! I really enjoyed making this piece. It was inspired a lot by my big sis, who plays the trumpet, as well as a lot of video games. I'm glad you liked it.

on Take Me Away By flawliss Vocal Remix by ShojoBeast

Ha, I love it! You guys make a really good team. It sounds very "J-pop" to me, lol.

Faved and downloaded for sure, keep them coming!

ShojoBeast replied Unknown

Gabby, my cousin, and I have been noted for being Half Brains! Though she's only a year older than me, we really get along.
We're actually doing a new vocal piece now! I'll make sure to tell you when we have it up!

on Raymi - Myth by Raymi95

Sweetness!

I really love the use of dissonance after the 3 minute mark, it gives it kind of an eerie vibe temporarily.

Looking forward to hearing more soon.

Raymi95 replied Unknown

Thank you and more comming soon

on Track1v3cleanerbutwaytoolong by lanfran

Really good work here!

I really like the swish of those cymbals, kind of reminds me of nice heavy rain actually... then you top it off with a Rhodes piano one of my personal favorites.

This is a really nice first effort, keep it going! I'll be checking out the other 2 tracks real soon.

on the nightwalker of london (track 3) by rsmisch

I can practically see the rainy cobblestone streets when I listen to this, nice and gloomy sounding. Looking forward to hearing the rest of the series!

rsmisch replied Unknown

on Anak Pisang - Shadow Dancing by n0mad23

I love that analog warmth! There is no such thing as "obsolete" in my dictionary, lol.

I had an old Yamaha 4 track cassette recorder at one time but it quickly became a 3 track recorder after I spilled tea on it, oops! :(

I'm so glad to see that you are still contributing to the Loop, this place just would not be the same without you!

And no, I'm not worried about points at all! Thanks for the download as well, my Ipod will be blasting this one for months to come, lol

n0mad23 replied Unknown

One of my Tascam's was a 3-track, too as the previous owner had spilled beer into it. It's amazing just how far the technologies gone in a relatively short time (and if we look at geologic time, it's quite insane).

So delighted to see your presence on this site, Koukotsu. You are most welcome here!

on Cairo by jfw

Egypt gives me the creeps for some reason... mummies, scarabs, camels... brrrrrr! But I must admit I enjoyed this one! This really reminds me of some of Joe Satriani's more tasteful tracks, the balance between flash and substance is fantastic!

I've missed quite a bit since I've been gone it seems!

-Jess

jfw replied Unknown

Thanks for listening jess - I'd never thought of Egypt like that!

Cheers, Jamie.

on Gonzo by jfw

Lovely! The perfect "chillin' by the poolside" track, lol. Talented generous people like you are the reason I stopped paying for music a long time ago!

Who needs shallow mainstream garbage when heart and soul can be found on Looperman for free?

Don't ever stop!

-Jess

jfw replied Unknown

I'm glad you liked this Jess! Sorry I missed replying to this one for so long!

Jamie.
