on Dreams In The Hangar by StarTravels
It's a no brainer to listen to your music. You guys make a fantastic team. Some of those synths are spine tingling, your vox and layered harmonies are just sublime. They remind me a bit of Duet by Breaks Co-Op. Maybe. Anyway brilliant stuff.

Hello Chris,
if we were able to keep you entertained, our mission out there is already accomplished! We are very pleased that you keep dropping in... you can't please everyone - but we're all the happier when it works for some. Thanks for listening.
Cheers from Micky (also on behalf of Jynxz)

on Word by Jkingz ft RyanCali by Jkingz
Yeah bro, this gets this moving. Wobble bass at 2:30 is mean. I'd almost be inclined to keep that last word with the delay coming and going all the way to the end. Just a thought. Great mix.

on Friendly - Balloon Mix by Kirkoid
This is an awesome piece of work. Great bluesy vox, cool as balloon bass and fx. Love the slow build. Been a long time since I did NOS, seem to remember it makes your voice really deep. Happy times, happy and hugely creative music. Love it.

on Erster Kontakt by atw
space odysey. glad I'm not the only one here doing lovely, drifty, swelling ambient stuff. cool transition at the 1 min mark. as Danke said, it has a positive feel to it which I like. would have downloaded if I could have.

on Belgian Waffle by Kirkoid
Those strings (?) are outstanding! Love the vibe they create. Poem is cool. The drum works fit so well, I'm far too lazy when it comes to percs but I appreciate them in others. I've heard of using headphones as a mic, from Bringer of Doom, sounds like it works pretty well!

on EndLessLoop by Jynxz
Yes this did mess with my head, not being able to find the first beat of a bar most of the way through. But I like that a lot. Great smooth slinky track, sultry vox, cool as fuck piano. Sweet all round.

What's up down-under Zootman.

I am beginning to find some of my old stuff
that had decent content but, back then I wasn't
as knowledgeable about the presentation or some of
the other utilities and what-not that can make an old
track sound very different than it did back then. I guess
since I'm still learning more stuff about music production
almost everyday I'll probably say the same thing about this
version two years from now.

Your listen and Fave are a huge encouragement as well as a
indicator that I'm moving forward. I really appreciate it.

PEACE...

Great track. Nice loping funky bass, like the little cuff guitar noodling away on the left.

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 ... :-)

Definitely some pretty weird shit but I like weird shit! Kind of David Attenborough horror show, small furry animals getting chomped....

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.

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
Micky replied 19th Jul 2022 - 3 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 bet 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
ValveDriver replied 17th Jul 2022 - 3 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.

on Another 2 Days by BaoBou
Dude if this was my track I'd be very happy and call it done but then I'm an imperfectionist. Great guitars, tone on that lead is sexy, groovy as hell all round.
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 15th Jul 2022 - 3 years ago
Hahaha I am just like you, I don't like obsessing too long over a track, but then I also know that when I come back to it later the false notes in the vocal, the uneven bits in the drums etc, all those will piss me off, so better to fix it now while I still have the energy ;)
Thanks for listening and commenting, very much appreciated my friend!

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.

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.

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.

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
"Rise Robot Rise"

on MeMyself AndI ish by Jynxz
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 - 3 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...
