Oh look what have we here... that brings back memories of our missions into the DMT zone. A truly compelling experience this one here. Bravo!

Wonderful! You could certainly consider it finished. Its so cool and laid-back ... the way it is, it could just go on like this all day.

Hey Aaron, whats going on here? This sounds absolutely killer. The bass is moving in wild ways and cuts through perfectly. And I always knew Rita had something iconic about her. Hats off to all of you!

Yeah, thats a beat that really grabs you. I think the soundand the whole atmosphereis absolutely perfect. Its amazing if you actually created the whole thing in GarageBand. Then again, I (Micky) worked exclusively in GarageBand for years, so I know you can achieve more with it than a lot of people realize. Really cool work!

Oh man, that's so beautifully spacey. A very well-made track with a lot of depth! Praise!

It really brings to mind early Chicago house tracksLarry Heard and the like. The vibe is definitely there. Invigorating and relaxing at the same time. Brilliantly captured!

Really nice track. It might even go off even more with real vocals. Cheers.

This is a beautiful track, with a wonderfully consistent groove and cool, spacey elements. A truly enjoyable listening experience. Bravo!

Hi Cincocent, this is another great track. No one can do it like you! It's great to have you back!

Hello, its great to hear from you again. Its hard to imagine you arent aware of this yourself, but its worth saying anyway: you are a master of paring things down to the essentials. Every one of your tracks posted here so far has been something special!

Hi, were blown away by the dense atmosphere and immense depth and the fantastically executed syncopated rhythms youve created. You can really hear that youre living in a world entirely of your own making here. A fantastic listening experience!

I hadn't even discovered this track yet. It's funky as hell. Absolute fantastic guitar work here! Man, where have you been hiding?
Peace, Micky

Hey BaoBou, This is a wonderful rendition, with the instruments played superbly. Your guitar work, in particular, is impressive once again. You always approach your music with such genuine feelingits a breath of fresh air amidst all the fakery these days. Best regards.

I missed this last week. Awesome track (again). Great to see/hear from you again! Man, for years you were here almost every day with a new track. And now you've been totally scarce for quite a while. Hope you're doing well?
Cheers,
Micky

Hi Chris, well, this definitely has something to do with insects, but in a very delightful way. This is a truly beautiful piece of music that could only spring from genuine inspiration!!! It is truly amazing how easily something like this comes to you. Ahoi!

Total relaxation. The violin, actually the whole track has something comforting and gentle about it, you feel safe, if I may say so. The title somehow suggests that, I think. Really beautiful work, Leon.
Cheers, Micky

Amazing how you got this working with just using samples ... really funky and atmospheric. Great Job!

Awesome groove ... perfect for rap! Great work.

Bravo Paul, it couldn't be better! You're a lucky guy.
Cheers,
Micky

Hello BadNode, I can't tell you anything about sampling methods, because I play most of my tracks "classically" by hand and use virtual drummers etc. But if the mood of a track is good, I don't care how it came about, and in your case it works great and is very catchy. Oh yes, it would be perfect for rap. Without rap I would maybe embellish it a bit here and there.
Peace,
Micky

Hello Chasmchaser,
this is a very well done track, with a nice structure. I particularly liked the use of the guitars, which make the whole thing sparkle even more. The background actually suggests something spiritual, at least that's how I perceive it. I'm looking forward to more of this...
Peace,
Micky

Hey BaoBou, cool track, nice drum sound. It's a little different than your previous material, but also definitely worth listening to. I like your singing, your voice more and more. And your guitar work is convincing as always.
Cheers,
Micky

This is another nice track from you. Electronic seems to be totally your thing. I would be interested to see how the track comes across with a cool video... somehow I associate it with a street chase scene. Mentalo says: keep going!

Hi Bederis,
sounds good, very rough, a little psychedelic, almost cinematic. Although maybe a little overdriven in some places, but that could just be me. It's very difficult for me to say anything about it, because everything everyone does here is ultimately about art. And I think it's almost impossible to judge whether something is good or bad, because in the end it's completely subjective and purely a matter of taste. The most you could say is that a track may not correspond to a particular style because the known characteristics are missing, but with your track everything is open. So it is entirely up to your own judgment whether you are satisfied with your work or not. It's really the best way to keep your track in rotation here long enough to find out how it resonates with people.
In any case, keep going!
Cheers,
Micky

Hi Mike,
The track is psychedelic in the truest sense, but could also be classified as ambient. Some productions in this genre feel like they're too rational, but this one sounds really organic and lived-in. Your great musicality shines through here and takes you into it. It's great how you designed these rooms. There's something electrifying in there that reminds me a little of Brian Eno. I've heard this several times now and it actually gets more interesting each time. Very, very nice work..
Greetings from the hangar,
