on Slow Burn by chell55
Nice track. Interesting and a bit different. That subtle, quiet woman's voice is a nice wee touch. Wasn't quite sure about some of the deep brass synth but I guess it adds to the contrast with the following lighter sections. Anyway, enjoyed!

on The Return of the Cheddar by 500cc
Shit hot bro, I was digging this vibe and it's not even my usual kind of taste. Opening part reminded me of early Fat Boy Slim. Sounds awesome. Great track.

on Oceanic by AnthonyAttard
Great track. I spent some time in Greece, loved it, and this is evocative of that time. Zorba would like it I think....

Hello Zootman
it is good to know you spent time in my country and you loved it. If this music brings you back memories, then this is good too. It is a legendary Greek composer, Mikis Theodorakis who scored the music for Zorbas the Greek, globally known for his musical works. We all carry sounds and music from such geniuses, as it happens in other fields too, like sciences or literature.
Thanks so much for your time listening and commenting
Best wishes, Anthony

on Color Puzzle Love UPDATED by BadNode
I'm digging hearing a bit more rock here lately, and this is another cool track. Pretty catchy, mix sounds pretty good to my amateur ears. I think you could maybe insert a few drum breaks and fills here and there, mostly on the pauses between verses and or chorus. That would accent things nicely. Great song!!

Thank you Zoot, I appreciate this feedback/encouragement, thanks for giving it a listen as well. Definitely will see if can add a drum fill, there is one spot I know desperately needs it.

on Primordial by Neomorpheus
Some amazing tracks you have here. The start of this one reminds me a little of Neil Young's soundtrack to the Jim Jarmusch movie Deadman. Strange, fey, psychedelic and slightly disturbing. Cheers Zoot

on Electric Cicada by ValveDriver
Oh man this is awesome. Tapping on my phone so tedious to write anything substantial. It's exactly as your describe it, only much better. That bass is fantastic, guitars incredible. A most excellent composition. Tumeke bro. Cheers Zoot.

on VT nights x KayOS - Who Are You by Kayos2
Hi, I think your hard work paid off cause the mix sounds great to me. Some schools of thought suggest there is no self, it's just a construct the mind makes up from moment to moment. Which is kind of liberating maybe. Anyway, its a great cerebral track, much enjoyed. Cheers Chris

Hey Chris, many thanks for listening. I now what you mean with "construct of your mind" One Buddhist monk told me that this construct may fall apart one day and leaving just pure joy and love :-) Cheers, Oli

Gloriously fat and immersive sound on literally everything in the mix. And it's a great song. Nice shimmer at the end on the guitar too. Love it Danke, thanks for the experience!

Man, love the tracks I listened to just now. Very creative in such a range of genres, and defying genres more often than not. Hats off, Zoot

Awesome. Reminds me of what I consider the golden age of Jamaican reggae in the 70s. Righteous!!
Mosestone
Mosestone replied 26th Aug 2024 - 1 year ago
You are spot on Zootman. My influence growing up in the 70's was experiencing a huge societal shift away from from the contempory music of the time. Reggae, Ska, Punk, Disco, and early synth music which got my attention. Thank you for that.

on The Dead Zone by Pnnywze
Excited to hear some colabs from you Aaron! I hope you do something with Pseudoble, I love his music, I think you guys could do something a little different together. Anyway, this ones deep and dark and sounds like a soundtrack for the end of the world. I think your stuff often has a cinematic, epic quality to it. Lots of gravitas!! och aye, Chris

Pnnywze replied 19th Aug 2024 - 1 year ago
Yeah, for sure. He sent me some stuff to go thru, it's next on the list. I hope to use it in some unexpected ways, later on in the week, be in the lookout for it. I try to make each piece like it was my last, and to try new things. It all adds up, over time. I'm having fun, and hopefully that translates to what is heard. Thanks for your support l, bro. - Aaron

Man this sounds so good, even just through my little speaker by my computer. Good vibes to warm me up on a day down here in the south where we're getting snow flurries (at sea level!).

Excellent. Love the feel of this. I quite enjoy reading the lyrics on the sheet though, ideally you'd take the time to add the words in for pedants like me!

This is great man. Love the lyrics. Sometimes some suffering is good for the art I think. All the best Zoot

Thanks a lot Zoot, your stuff on your page is so inspiring, I feel this type of music is right in your wheel house so you giving it a listen and feedback means a lot! You're absolutely right about suffering being good for art. Sometimes creativity can sprout from a single seed of misery.

on Music by Micky
Your vocals always sound amazing to me, in terms of performance and production. It's a great track, lots going on but all on point and adding to the cruisy vibe. Fsntastico.
Micky
Micky replied 22nd Aug 2024 - 1 year ago
Hello Chris, I'm very pleased that you like the track and the vocals. Yes, it's true, I have a tendency to pack a lot into it, and thank God it works in most cases. In fact, I'm working on doing less, leaving things more open, and I keep finding that it's much easier to pack the tracks full than to be frugal. That's probably due to the way I've worked so far, building the tracks. I would need to take a completely different approach. Producing a pop song isn't magic if you know the rules. I want to get to the point where I produce away from the rules, outside the norm, and that's certainly a long way off. You're way ahead of me there, Chris, although I'm sure you'll dispute that...
Thank you very much for your praise.
Cheers,
Micky

on Tell Me Your Side by dimestop
Great stuff Paul, genuine and emotive. I get the feeling that once you've made friends with someone you'd be loyal to them andin it for the long haul, thick or thin. Cheers Zoot.
dimestop
dimestop replied 17th Aug 2024 - 1 year ago
thanks Chris, yeah thats right, i choose friends wisely and that's simply because its your choice, loyalty is an important word among friends, loyalty isn't just given out it's earnt, Manuela earned my loyalty and hopefully i've earnt hers on trust and respect, just like you and all the other guys and how we linked because we wanted to do things right and isn't that what everyone wants, longevity in your friendships, then it proves the friendships are real and mean something, you can't choose your family you get what your given, thats why your choice of friends needs to be made wisely

on LIFETIME by glennwhite6504
I've listened to both of these tracks, a couple of times each. Admittedly, that was while I'm working so they didn't get my undivided attention. But for all that, they are both beautifully played and produced. I am highly envious of your feel and technical proficiency! And it is so good to hear more acoustic, human music here amidst so much over-produced stuff. By the way, my acoustic is an Ibanez too. Don't' remember the model but it is a large bodied, solid top thing. Bought with a tiny bit of money I inherited from my German grandmother 30 or so years ago (when I was in my 20's). I call it Berna after her. It has a nice sound but the action is too high now. I need to try and get it fixed up. Still has a nice tone though. Anyway, keep em coming. Like Dimestop I sometimes attempt to sing so be careful. All the best, Zoot.

Hello Zootman....of course I appreciate your post very much, I'm just a lover of music and feel pretty much through everything I play. I'm not a true player....I pretty much have taught myself enough to express what I feel through guitar practices and techniques but mainly it's the feeling. Thanks again for your kinds words. I do favor Ibanez acoustics as well as electrics....have several hollowbodies with the thinline body. I do believe the acoustic guitar has ability to express without being as loud as its electric counterpart.Theres definitely a place for both....just depends on the individual i guess. I do like them both and will continue to experiment. Once again appreciate you and until next time.

Super wide stereo on the synths, sounds great on my head phones. This has some sort of 50's vibe to me. Very cool track.

on I dont wanna be by Nonube
Love it bro. It's got a dub thing going on to my ears. I like the sound production and the loopy semi repetitive nature of it is also cool. Your minimal kinda intense vocals are perfect in my opinion and suit the track to a t. Faved...:)

I liked this as an ambient tune, background music that also repays closer listening. Felt like I was back travelling in South America sometimes.
