on ballad of an asshole by xstokes
sublime simplicity, at least on the face of it. it does all it needs to, tugs at the heart strings with an uplifting sadness. well thats what i think anyway :)

that’s the crucial thing with me is fighting the urge to overplay — things start going right, i get excited, now it’s all fucked up. and a loopstation’s unforgiving. so your comment means a lot!

on How do you Like your Love - by Mr Axel by MrAxel
Great groove and I was specially digging the piano parts. This has a real uplifting happy vibe. Someone mentioned fat boy slim, I think I hear echoes of that too, maybe the piano. But I really love this, nice work man. Geez and it's disco, who would have thought lol
MrAxel
MrAxel replied 15th Sep 2021 - 4 years ago
Actually, it is Nu-Disco which is a real genre. Nu-Disco is a post-Disco genre. Adding Pop, or Rock, or even Trap to Disco turns it into Nu-Disco so Fat Boy Slim would be quite appropriate.

I had fun with one. I appreciate the comments Zoot.

Until Tea Time, Cheers!

on Disappointing Crucethus by Jynxz
All I can say is, from my limited experience, neither of you ever disappoint! That definitely goes for BOD too but he seems to have gone quiet of late. Have missed his music and insights.

on When Youre Gone UK Boom Bap Ableton by phantomhim
Holy shit I loved this. Your vocal is on fire, love the lyrics and the beat is mean. And that synth twines itself around your head and doesn't go away. Very awesome work to me. Regards.

phantomhim replied 2nd Sep 2021 - 4 years ago
Thanks for the kind words mate. Yeah, the synth/bass line I made has this crazy whipping feel to it. It's funky.

on Strings of Jamaica by NostalgiaInc
Sweet and engaging, with a great groove. like the minimalism and absence of drums.

on Where the fck is the Moonman by BananaLu
Man what's not to like? Your voice is great, cool composition and I was digging your guitar work. Used to listen to a lot of cap beef heart and I reckon I do see where you're coming from there thinking about his kind of jerky compositions, not sure if jerky is the right word but maybe u get what I mean. Like skipping from one part to another.

Love the sound of gamelan. Played in a group once years ago when I was at university. This sounds really sweet.

on passing time on sunday by pseudoble
Awesome work indeed, man u never fail to surprise and delight. This almost sounds a bit like HDU in one of their rare quieter moments like on lull. Love the textures, would never have thought of a sax in something like this but it fits. Will be downloading when my computer is next on!

on Workit by Jynxz
i'd say all of the above and then some in terms of genres, but I reckon that's par for the course where you're concerned. this is a real fun track mate and funky to boot. loved the vocal samples coming in and out.
Jynxz
Jynxz replied 22nd Aug 2021 - 4 years ago
Hello zootman2u,

You're the second person to mention the sample singers that I use on most of my tracks. I feel like they give a kinda accent to the rhythm. I'm glad you liked them. Thank you for your listen and comments.

PEACE...

Fun groove, cool melody and guitars. Be interesting to hear a vocal or something on it.

on Cream Like by Mr Axel by MrAxel
Tried to reply to your comment on my bell jar blues track but LM threw some sort of fit. Thanks mate, I'm just glad you got it! But actually the short (less than 1min) track pseudoble gave me already had a cool mix of blues and country/blue grass (?), I just gave it a twist. And to be honest, to me it's a pale imitation, and clearly derivative, of stuff Beck was doing back in the day. Try his Mellow Gold album for some true genre bending sounds. That's a true classic album for me. Anyway, i'm looking forward to hearing more tunes from you mate!

on Not Lonely When Alone feat Annett NDAMIX123 by Micky
Lol oh well comment still stands it's a great track. Curious now what the bass vst is? I just use ample sound I think it's called cause it's free and sounds ok I think.

on Six Points of View by theHumps
haha nice, love the lyric - six points of view pointed at you, can't argue with that. cracker of a song, yay another humps fix!
theHumps
theHumps replied 5th Aug 2021 - 4 years ago
I watched D Boon from the Minutemen in a live clip say the line "6 points of view" describing a gun and suddenly a light bulb went off over my head. Figured I could run with that as a premise to a song.

Thanks, glad you liked it, fun one!

on Not Lonely When Alone feat Annett NDAMIX123 by Micky
This is class, you got me from the get go with those congas, man I love those things and you actually play them! The treatment on the vox was cool, great bass Great energy. What a boogie down track!
Micky
Micky replied 4th Aug 2021 - 4 years ago
Hey zootman,

honesty demands to say that those congas are actually loops and that bass is played by me, but it's a midi instrument, not a real bass.

Thank you so much for listening – glad you enjoyed it!

on Cavern by the sea by Burtsbluesboxes
loving these mate, they're like some soundtrack to a delta murder mystery or something. i'm sure i can hear the great greasy Mississippi flowing on by like some great artery, even though i've never been to the states!
Burtsbluesboxes
Burtsbluesboxes replied 2nd Aug 2021 - 4 years ago
OOhh perfect finding dark themes even the happier stuff I do on occasion ;) I love how music can transport you anywhere and put you in a whole new state of mind. I've spent my whole life in the northeasten part of the states, never been to the Mississippi delta but these guitars sure have a way of transporting us there. I'll try and get more up to date stuff put up. I've been away from here for a while and not nearly as active as I was in the past. I do a ton on facebook groups related to the worldwide homemade instrument movement. I love how it's like the home recording revolution. Tonight I've been sitting here playing on a guitar made from a license plate a friend made me in a guitar swap.
Where I'm not a singer I got into using soundscapes created from sounds found around the web along with my own recordings to add that extra dimension, and do something a bit different than the usual.
