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 #####, groovy as hell all round.

BaoBou replied 15th Jul 2022 - 4 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.

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!

Greetings, just been enjoying a range of your music. Very well done and a good variety of styles.

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
"Rise Robot Rise"

Too good, I remember it well. The whole piece is great as a piece of music and as a concept. Loving the noodling guitars too.

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 - 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.

Thanks Chris !

on Gone with the wind - feat 2nick8 by pseudoble

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.

pseudoble replied 1st Jul 2022 - 4 years ago

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

on Two girls by ThierryVend

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.

ThierryVend replied 30th Jun 2022 - 4 years ago

Thank you very much Zootman for your feedback, explicit and well documented. It’s helpful for me to move forward.

You're the master of these thoughtful, meditative and soul soothing tracks. I like the subtle depth to the mix too.

on Kick Back feat KMRS by atw

Yo, this is really cool. Love the beat and the guitar bounce with the slightly muted sound. Flute and strings work well too. Fits like a glove with the vox.

on Herbie by Jynxz

I have this Herbie album, Headhunters isn't it? Crazy album it is! He also plays keys on one of my favorite miles Davis albums In a Silent Way. Your version is pretty different, much smoother but still got that funk. Very cool in fact.

Jynxz replied 26th Jun 2022 - 4 years ago

Yes... The album with the computerhead Keyboard player on it.
The Headhunters were the musical group behind Herbie Handcock.
They specialized in African and other exotic Percussion instruments. At the Herbie Handcock concert I attended they did about a 5 or 10 min solo of just Percussion instruments. It was amazing.
I'm glad you didn't find my rendition of the track offensive, after running that track through my my head for 50+yrs I've got at least 10 or 20 versions of it in there but, this is the one that came out.

I appreciate you giving the track a listen and for your encouragement with the Fave.

Chur Bro

PEACE...

Super! The whole package just sounds mighty fine. I love your creativity, always so unique. I've read some Kurt back in the day, will have to check him again. I posted that track I sent you by the way, not featured, having trouble with the mix:(

Thanks for the warm feedback mate - i'll go have a listen now to the track : )

on Four Seasons in One Day by Diskonnect

I like this! Lovely synths and I liked the build on the drums. Intro and outro fantastic. And the north east ain't the only place to experience four seasons in one day...pretty sure a NZ band wrote a song like that:)

Diskonnect replied 24th Jun 2022 - 4 years ago

Haha well I guess NZ is practically in the polar opposite location to the north east of scotland so I can see that being the same. I'd love to visit one day! Thanks for the listen dude, I appreciate it. Will check your tracks out in a bit!

on trill seekers by phantomproduction

Quiet here at the moment isn't it? That's the funky ##### on that bass. Nice horns too. I wonder if it could do with a breakdown at some point, just to ease it up then bring that funkiness home again.. Or a vocal... Great track tho.

phantomproduction replied 18th Jun 2022 - 4 years ago

Hey Chris! I preferred not to clutter the tracks too much and keep the tempo until the end to really bring out his bass line as if I had worked with a voice! question of choice and taste! the magic of music is that no musician will make the same piece!

I think u should finish it, one, because it's a really good song and I liked your vocals. And two, it would be a nice gesture to your little cousin. All the best man.

Thanks, Zoot! I appreciate the words of encouragement. I need to finish this one, if not for him then for him.
