on How Long Have You Been Hiding by ClickbaitCabaret
Coolio. Deep and dark, but somehow uplifting too. loved the sound design. Missed your unique aesthetic. Zoot.

on Adultery Fraud Ghosts by Captainsour69
Sonically intriguing with the distorted vox (?) sounding a bit like a tortured guitar. Nice work man, nice to hear something from you after so long. Sent you my email, be cool to hear what you've got. Cheers Chris.

Yeah that was my vox.... I can't imagine what other people hear of it ha ha. It's one of those things you listen to you listen to it with lyrics or you only hear the second verse. Thank you man. Have a good day I'm off to bed.

on Kiss The Snake Goodnight by BickyStalls
Digging this too! A little bit of HDU (High Dependency Unit) vibe for me. Album 'Higher' is a good place to start.
BickyStalls
BickyStalls replied 14th Oct 2025 - 5 months ago
I've never heard of HDU before. I went and checked them out. At first I didn't really see the similarities, but after a couple of tracks I had that "there it is!" Moment. I'll be looking further into them! Thanks for the suggestion!

on Switchblade Sweetheart by BickyStalls
This is stunning man. I love the beat, the guitars are fanstastic, love the fuzz and the clean. If you get a chance check out Dark Matter (one of mine), might be up your alley. Never found the time or need for lyrics on that one either. No drama, great track anyway. Fav for me, I need to check out some more..Cheers Zoot.

Back from globetrotting eh? This is a beautiful track man, well done. Great vocal, vibe and the mix sounds full and delicious.

on I new you by monkwee
Hi there. Been missing that classic Monkwee sound and vibe. Cool track again, lovely guitars as always and I like the muted low-,key vox. I don't remember hearing you sing on previous tracks? I'd look at the eq on the vocal maybe roll off a bit of low end? Maybe. All the best, Chris.

thanks for your support Chris, along with Robin and Rita you are the oldest friends i have here on the loop, yes we have all made lots more friends too but we all supported each other from the beginning and we have all grown together.
how is Ian are you still in touch if you are pass on my regards, i miss hearing his experiments as he always described them, he was a nice guy too, lots of the old school have gone, it's a shame, life does get in the way of music sometimes lol, thanks again for the listen, the next one is a banger, it's called Warzone :))

on Lifes Last Ember - an interlude by ValveDriver
This is beautiful, thought provoking music. The intro with those dark textures is excellent but the star for me is the acoustic guitar play with it's slightly unusual melody. Real guitar? It's beautifully recorded and played if so. Amazing really. Cheers Chris
ValveDriver
ValveDriver replied 29th Sep 2025 - 6 months ago
Chris, how are ya, man?

Here's the thing with me and guitars. I have a guitar, I can knock out some decent riffs and ideas, but my actual playing ability is.....not good. So, I come up with the ideas on a live guitar, but then replicate everything with VST's in my tracks. that way they actually sound like it does in my head...not in my amp. I know it's a little disappointing to hear that they aren't live in my tracks, but at least they originated on one. That's gotta count for something, right?
Anyhow, I'm glad you liked this one, and thank you for such kind words.
Take care.

on Battery - Pnnywze by Pnnywze
Another epic composition. I seem to remember you were into metal back in the day. Great mix. Loving all the changes in mood and vibe along the way. Cheers Chris.

Pnnywze replied 26th Sep 2025 - 6 months ago
U remember correctly. I was a Rhythm guitarist for a minimally successful band years - no, ages ago. Instead of random projects I want to just have my music be this varied all the time. Thanks for listening man

Now that's some heavy duty noise brother. Great drive, synths sound so thick they could be pea and ham soup. Nice one, Zoot.

dimestop replied 20th Sep 2025 - 6 months ago
thanks Chris, when i had a break, i done alot of thinking and critiqued myself to pieces, to many tracks, spreading myself to much, now its a slower pace, i think i learnt a huge lesson too, quality over quantity, Robins music was so apt for that vocal its a fantastic piece of music thanks for your comment mate

on AKA CHARLIE by BananaLu
Hey man how you doing? Mighty fine I'd say if this is anything to go by. Loving your vibe on this. Guitars and bass sound great, vocals fantastic, unique as usual. Everything sounds wicked to me, nice sound and not overproduced. Look forward to hearing more. Cheers Chris
BananaLu
BananaLu replied 20th Sep 2025 - 6 months ago
Thank you zootman, I'm feeling good. I changed a lot of my production style and focused just on eq and compression. It was one of your comments in the past. I got overboard with my meters. I learned a lot from you just listinging to your production. All that cinematic 3d synth stuff I copied. Hope you don't mind. I'm just your Stan.

on Reset by TheFrenZ
I wholeheartedly agree with your words. I have very little faith in the integrity and quality of any of our so called leaders. Anyway, I like the track, being a reggae lover since my teens. I'll message you later for the stems, though we have corresponded before, maybe you still have my email. Cheers Chris

on Dystopia vs Utopia by Flat2Forge
Very cool track, quite psychedelic in a way. Lovely synths and piano motif. Very enjoyable for me. The thing with dystopias is you have to recognize you're living in one in the first place.... Cheers Zoot
Flat2Forge
Flat2Forge replied 14th Sep 2025 - 6 months ago
Exactly, we've been living in a dystopia for a while now, and the worst part is we're going downhill with no brakes. But there's always room for hope, which is why I wanted to create a bridge with a different vibe.

on Wrong Era by fanisatt
Pure snobbery on my part, but I generally avoid anything labeled Pop. But I'm glad I overcame that this time! This is actually a great chill out track. I kept expecting someone to start singing though. Cheers Zoot.

Very cool track guys. Well done both of you. Totally pro compared to my garage band thing. Your vocal gymnastics here and there remind me a little of older Kate Bush. Yeah, so good!!

on I understand by BaoBou
It's been a while eh. Lovely intro and piano with a heart felt vocal. And your guitars sound as good as ever. That's such a full, warm and gritty sound. Quite stripped back in a way, there nothing there that's extraneous. Good job my friend. Zoot.

on Second Serving by StratOli
Love a bit of solid, funky blues, this sounds great. Lead is great, perfectly complemented by some lovely tight rhythm guitar. You got in the zone on this one. Crisp recording and mix too. You need to be careful, one day I'll hit you up to play some decent guitar on one of my tracks. Cheers Zoot.

Thank you Mr Zootman :) that means a lot. I'm only just getting started in music production and am stuck on a 2009 Imac with an old copy of Garageband.
I listened to some of your tracks yesterday - really enjoyed them all - you have a lot of creative and productive talent. I especially liked the one with Desmond Tutu I think it was, such nice vibes.
Million thanks and much respect.
