Thank you so much Chris. Yeah to be a parent is hard sometimes if 1 of your children is in a bad situation. Thanks for your compliment. This track was made with a lot of emotion and it seems like those are the better ones
Great track. Like the others I'm amazed at the quality and reality of the vsts. Sax especially and the delay on that is awesome. Also enjoyed the production geek breakdown, I like to hear what people have done in that aspect. It helps with learning for myself.
Greetings Chris! Im glad you stopped by. Its good you enjoyed what you heard. Sometimes no music production for me. Only research and development. Its vicious in the virtual instrument game. Slick presentation alone and advertising wont nail it. It took maybe 3 years of trying to find the right brass vst. One issue is it seems the majority of musicians today ears are acclimated towards the synth brass sound. Which fits quite nicely with some styles. And some are amazing. But I was raised on real brass and my goal was to get as close as possible in my productions. The response for the sound of the sax has been great. Ill suggest again, Kontakt 7 has the best brass library ever with East West Studio Brass coming in a close second. Thanks for the compliments and interesting conversation. Peace.
Aptly titled and described. Beautiful with some great seamless transitions. Did you ever see the movie Touching the Void? Worth a watch, though the book is better.
hey there Chris! i saw the movie in the hazy vhs years, some images remain and i always coveted the title. glad you brought that up, ill watch for the book in my used shops. BaoBou was a catalyst in getting to the mix you heard, he had me reimagining the first half with his gtr added, it learned me something i hope! cheers, brother!
Damn, 11 o'clock at night, walking the dog, and you got me looking over my shoulder lol. Spooky bro. Beautiful mix too by the way, sounding mighty fine on my head phones. Peace from Down Under.
What's up my friend! Man I sure wish I was where u are, it's so frkn cold here right now. Glad to know I haven't lost my spooky touch man. I'm currently in talks with a new label called rayve to be the producer in their new hip hop/trap branch (they're creating that branch to accommodate me, I take that as they're impressed. I hope, anyway. Hope alls well with u brother. I'll always be around here, regardless of where my path takes me. I truly value some friends I've made here, u among to them.
Catching up, listening to a few of yours. No doubt in my mind you're about the most original and interesting artists on here. Hope you're good. Och aye Chris.
heya Chris, those are very kind words, and im humbled mate. ive had a trippy year and nearly all the time i get to myselfs been selfish i was raised catholic so all my pleasures are guilty. now i feel empowered, och aye you. thanks, mate.
Buckled in ready for the trip....lift off into the funk yeah. Great track Micky, your musicianship is obviously outstanding but more to the point, your music is immensely pleasurable to listen to. Those two things don't always go together... Last track I listen to tonight, good to go out with the best. Hope Jynx joins us again one day. Kia ora from Down Under.
Hi Chris, Yes, I also hope that Jynxz appears again at some point. But that probably won't happen for now - he has good reasons, I know that much. I created this background story so that it could be officially announced that this will be the last Star Travels track for the time being. Thank you for your great compliment... and the nice greeting! Peace from Neanderthal, Micky
I swear, you're one of the best song writers on this site. Sweet lyrically and your keys and guitar work are as primo as ever. Nice to be back and listening to some artists again here. Zoot.
Hey Robin, you scouser bastard, very cool to hear you back, and with friends too! Was listening to one of your old tracks just the other day. Great song, awesome vocalist you have here. Nice bright mix and production. Hope all is well, och aye Zoot.
Hey there Chris, Tie me down Mate ;) sorry for not replying a while back ive been climbing some really steep mountains past year and a bit and still out of sorts. Anyway yeah this was done a while back now my fav band I was in and I've been in a few dirty stop out i am. Kate the singer when we done this she had the cold hence the gruff voice but it worked lol, thanks for the listen and comment mucho.
Sorry, whenever I address you that way, that awful song pops into my mind.
Completely professional in composition, performance and production. And immensely enjoyable too. Funny, your pangs of guilt in bumping your track up the list by commenting , I feel the same sometimes. Often I'll just listen and comment on a whole bunch and get it over with in one hit and it only goes back to the top once, but you need to have the time to do that. All the best, Chris.
Hello Chris, Actually, you're not the first person to think of this (hawk) funny song about my name. Spearcarrier (also here at LM) sent me the exact same link LOL Thank you very much for listening, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Cheers
Agree with Danke, your elevated this all the way. Many thanks my friend, I have always loved it when you grace my humble music with your amazing voice and words. All the best from Down Under.
Thank you my friend! I also wrote it before I went to sleep and the vocals were recorded very low volume with loads of background noise because of this :)
Great lyrics man, read them on the page as I did the second listen. Excellent work my friend. To thine self be true is the saying isn't it? Good luck with the recording.
i believe that is the saying and theirs no changing that for me lol. you're music rings true to that as-well! thanks for the good luck zootman, appreciate it.
Psychedelic phantasma. This would have made perfect sense back in the day when I enjoyed the occasional trip. Fortunately, like Obelix and the magic potion, it had a permanent effect on me, so it still makes sense lol. Groovy.
Scrolling thru the comments as I started listening, saw the link to the original so had a listen. I really like both! Your vox performance on this one is great. Is it just the two main guitar tracks? Sounds really fat and wide.
Lets party! In your face, righteous madness. I love it when you drag out that saxophone (assuming it is you playing it again?). Harks back to some bygone era, or else a futuristic one. I'm almost imagining the bar room scene in the first Star Wars movie. Nice one.
Trippy. Like the ending. I haven't been checking in much but whenever I do I seem to stumble across one of yours. I'm not stalking you I promise lol. Hope you're good bro.
You have me dead to rights on being in stealth mode. Been being downright furtive, mate. But im mortified cuz i love getting comments and giving em and all that. I do keenly appreciate your listens, mate. I thought maybe id gone mainstream with this one so im happy with trippy. Hope alls good in your hemisphere!

Commented on ten piece take 1 by bringerofDOOM
Love the intricate, finely enmeshed arrangement. Hints of dissonance make it poised on the edge of darkness. Great track for me.
Commented on falling stars by xstokes
Beautiful, ambient melancholia. This has a gentleness to it, not savage as these experimental pieces of yours sometimes are.
Commented on Black car by Shaman77
Very cool, visceral verse. I hear robots and a sense of urgency.
