Wish I could see you and your band playing live and loud! Love the guitar layers especially, bass is sweet. Intelligent, atmospheric metal. Great mix and production.

but if you listen to the track under you will understand, why do we want to play some melodies in this side project ... :-)

Not too bassy at all on my head phones. Still really like it on a further couple of listens.

on Took my Congas to Jazz Class by EmmaniFreeze

Love the dance between the drums and the congas. That keeps things moving at just the right pace. Has a beat sensibility to it, jazz plus lofi plus chill out. Great track.

Thank you Zootman:)

Very cool evolving track, great sonic choices. It's kind of threatening but beautiful at the same time.

Agree with dimestop on the vox, sounds great. But I like this just as it is. Different again with interesting ambient glitch backing track.

on Just When You Think by Micky

So I had to go back a few times trying to pick the Dr John part! Love his early psychedelic stuff gris gris gumbo. always look forward to an installment from you, definitely a fan of your style, vox and aesthetic. Top class!

Micky replied 19th Jul 2022 - 4 years ago

Oh this doctor, I remember getting real goosebumps when Zou Zou Mamou sounded in that voodoo scene in the movie ANGEL HEART. Well, in my song it honestly, certainly, I promise, definitely has no other function than that it fits tonally ... just buzzed around in my head. You can ##### a crowfoot on that.
Certainly very pleased that you like the track - thank you, Zootman for stopping by again.

Greetings to NZ,

Micky

on Moss Mother Part 1 - Sun by ValveDriver

Fantastic and unbelievable re the vst guitars! Great drama and build and release of tension. I spend a lot of time alone in the bush (part of my job) and I love it. I have always thought of nature as a mirror that reflects back whatever you bring with you. To me the bush and mountains are peace and wonder and respect but then here in NZ we don't have things that went want to eat you! Which this track sometimes feels like!

ValveDriver replied 17th Jul 2022 - 4 years ago

I would love to have a job where I spend all my time alone on the mountain. But, unfortunately, I'm temporarily outside of the PNW where it's all flat praries. When I get back, maybe.
Where I'm from we have bears, mountain lions and large elk herds. Granted, the elk don't want to eat you, but they don't want you on on their territory either.

I'm glad you were able to connect the emotions of the song with what was intended. I guess tha means I did what I set out to do, huh?

Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment. It means a lot.

Take care.
V.

on from the wasteland by xstokes

You're an artist my friend. Love the atmosphere you created, drums simple but perfect, lovely pad type thing (what is that?) and the poem is beautiful. And the sound quality is crystal. Too much.

xstokes replied 13th Jul 2022 - 4 years ago

this comes from an age ago, i had a real education from corey/silverpaw and we had a shared interest in ts, so this. i gotta find that man again. he is a real artist. the mangly sounds are mostly tortured casio by me resampled and played by silverpaw. cheers, buddy!

on the eyes of the beloved by Shaman77

Your voice has this cool gravitas (hope that translates). Basically, I think you could sing a recipe for chocolate cake and it would sound meaningful! The rythm of the words fit well with the track. Agree with Danke though, vox could be a bit louder in the mix maybe. I've been really enjoying Pennywze's music too, you did it justice I think.

Shaman77 replied 12th Jul 2022 - 4 years ago

Yes, the music is impressive. and with a cake recipe, it's worth a try))

on Maybe We can Try by Jynxz

Got me with the intro and the beat straight off. I really dig your stuff cause often its just not run of the mill at all, different sounds, different muse. Funk but not funk. You ever hear these guys (Rise Robot Rise)? Sometimes your stuff reminds me of them.

Jynxz replied 13th Jul 2022 - 4 years ago

Wow... Thanks for sharing. They sound like a mix between Cameo, Frank Zappa and perhaps a polished version of Parliment. I'm definitely going to pass them on. I have no idea how I missed them. Oh yeah, the 90's I was drunk high or somethin LOL.

Thank you for your listen, comments and for turning me on to

I don't know what half of them are either (genres)! I'd call this one wild but tight. Or something. Great track, you lifted me up and brought me down to for a safe landing. Shame about that...could have kept going up.

Jynxz replied 6th Jul 2022 - 4 years ago

Kia ora Zoot,

I have nothing against the guys that
know the qualifications for all the Genres.
I'm just barely hanging on keeping up with all
the toys you can use in a DAW. I'm just having a
blast making music and listening to all the ideas
and creativity you guys are posting here on LM.

Chur, for your listen and encouraging comments.

She'll be right...

on REQUIEM by weston63

Hey Nick, this is beautiful and very creative job well done. Who would have thought opera and dnb?! Gorgeous. But it works a treat in my opinion. Fantastic sound too. Couldn't find your email but thought I'd let you know just in case, posted an accoustic thing called thinking and talking. Not me singing, and I don't think it's anything special but maybe it might tickle your fancy. I can send stems, there's only a few tracks. All the best, Chris.

weston63 replied 3rd Jul 2022 - 4 years ago

Hi Chris thanks for your comments nice to hear from you I will check out the accoustic track and see if i like it and if i think i can do anything with it hope your well regards Nick.

Great stuff. I'm always suspicious when I see the pop genre but this is more rock than pop. It has a great drive to it, sweet guitars, excellent song. Congratulations man.

Nice one Ian. Nick has a great voice and your music is subtle and nuanced produces a lovely contemplative and reflective feel. Your production sounds crystal clear to me too.

Thanks Chris - just extended this slightly and did a little retweak - it's still a bit loud I think

Lovely work. Has a cinematic quality, some nice changes of pace, instruments and timbre. Liked the dissonance on the guitars just after the two minute mark.
