on With You by Micky
We'll I've heard this and commented before... Still sounds fantastic. So I'll just wish you a relaxing holiday break. Cheers Chris ps I've been listening to Micky on the astral plane quite a lot lately.

Oh man, the astral plane... that's so far away and yet so close, sometimes. Did you know that Irmin Schmidt is the only one of Can still alive? I think he's 88 or so.

Thanks for your words, dear friend.
Cheers

I'm falling in love with your voice. Music is amazing. And I love the metaphor you've employed in the lyrics. Outstanding in my opinion. Cheers Chris

on Pressure - Pnnywze by Pnnywze
Man you're stuff always sounds freaking awesome. And for some reason this felt like a soundtrack to a martial arts movie. Or any dramatic movie where heavy shit is about to go down.

on Adultery Fraud Ghosts by Captainsour69
Sonically intriguing with the distorted vox (?) sounding a bit like a tortured guitar. Nice work man, nice to hear something from you after so long. Sent you my email, be cool to hear what you've got. Cheers Chris.
Captainsour69
Captainsour69 replied 1st Nov 2025 - 1 month ago
Yeah that was my vox.... I can't imagine what other people hear of it ha ha. It's one of those things you listen to you listen to it with lyrics or you only hear the second verse. Thank you man. Have a good day I'm off to bed.

on Kiss The Snake Goodnight by BickyStalls
Digging this too! A little bit of HDU (High Dependency Unit) vibe for me. Album 'Higher' is a good place to start.
BickyStalls
BickyStalls replied 14th Oct 2025 - 2 months ago
I've never heard of HDU before. I went and checked them out. At first I didn't really see the similarities, but after a couple of tracks I had that "there it is!" Moment. I'll be looking further into them! Thanks for the suggestion!

on Switchblade Sweetheart by BickyStalls
This is stunning man. I love the beat, the guitars are fanstastic, love the fuzz and the clean. If you get a chance check out Dark Matter (one of mine), might be up your alley. Never found the time or need for lyrics on that one either. No drama, great track anyway. Fav for me, I need to check out some more..Cheers Zoot.

That's terrible bad luck. I hope you recover fast. I really like this one though Rita. Words and delivery are spot on. It's haunting and reflective.

on I new you by monkwee
Hi there. Been missing that classic Monkwee sound and vibe. Cool track again, lovely guitars as always and I like the muted low-,key vox. I don't remember hearing you sing on previous tracks? I'd look at the eq on the vocal maybe roll off a bit of low end? Maybe. All the best, Chris.

monkwee replied 9th Oct 2025 - 2 months ago

thanks for your support Chris, along with Robin and Rita you are the oldest friends i have here on the loop, yes we have all made lots more friends too but we all supported each other from the beginning and we have all grown together.
how is Ian are you still in touch if you are pass on my regards, i miss hearing his experiments as he always described them, he was a nice guy too, lots of the old school have gone, it's a shame, life does get in the way of music sometimes lol, thanks again for the listen, the next one is a banger, it's called Warzone :))

on Lifes Last Ember - an interlude by ValveDriver
This is beautiful, thought provoking music. The intro with those dark textures is excellent but the star for me is the acoustic guitar play with it's slightly unusual melody. Real guitar? It's beautifully recorded and played if so. Amazing really. Cheers Chris
ValveDriver
ValveDriver replied 29th Sep 2025 - 2 months ago
Chris, how are ya, man?

Here's the thing with me and guitars. I have a guitar, I can knock out some decent riffs and ideas, but my actual playing ability is.....not good. So, I come up with the ideas on a live guitar, but then replicate everything with VST's in my tracks. that way they actually sound like it does in my head...not in my amp. I know it's a little disappointing to hear that they aren't live in my tracks, but at least they originated on one. That's gotta count for something, right?
Anyhow, I'm glad you liked this one, and thank you for such kind words.
Take care.

Another epic composition. I seem to remember you were into metal back in the day. Great mix. Loving all the changes in mood and vibe along the way. Cheers Chris.

Pnnywze replied 26th Sep 2025 - 2 months ago
U remember correctly. I was a Rhythm guitarist for a minimally successful band years - no, ages ago. Instead of random projects I want to just have my music be this varied all the time. Thanks for listening man

on This way out wake me up by Cyberflares
Great music Mr C Flares. Dimestop beat me to it, I was going to say the thing with Bananas vocals is he totally sounds like he believes in what he's singing. I like that a lot. Cheers Chris.
