A jazz rock cabaret on acid - wonderfully creative drawing on musical themes from the last 60 years and (of course) somewhat zappaesque but jynxzed up and sounding very sharp in the sound production - what's not to like
I guess the cats out the bag on my age now. LOL.
Actually I went a little farther back than 60yrs.LOL.
As always I appreciate you taking the time to stop by
and listen to my track, your encouraging comments and
especially the Fave.
Hey Cru - this has a little of that Dona Summer meets kraftwerk vibe happening again but with some really gorgeous flourishes. Love the sound production too
Kraftwerk and DS (Giorgio Moroder) is just the begining. they inspired so much more to come, like this tune I quickly made which sits in the 2000's in style.
par exemple: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-vH1zo-JjM
is the master of this style of house.
Electronic music keeps on re-inventing itself, but we owe Kraftwerk and Giorgio a huge debt of gratitude.
Thanks mate!
Dark and brooding indeed - the effects on the vox are pretty interesting but it works so well, and the guitar sound is great as is the sound production overall - very nice work
Woo hoo - very very nice work - and yes very mellow velvet underground like but that's a very good thing to be like. Really nice mix too with the guitar and bass and drums all so well placed and doing just the right thing - for sure it would be even better with a nice vox.
If you are looking for inspiration for a vox that might fit have you ever listened to the silver jews (I loved there album american water) or there main man David Berman died a year or two ago but his last album was pretty good too or check out the microphones (Phil Elvrum) in particular the album the glow pt2 - looking forward to your next one
Guau Roberto - un tema trance muy hábil con unos hermosos arpegios melódicos, sintetizadores arremolinados, ritmos sedosos, transiciones de buen gusto y muy suaves, y una magnífica voz empapada de reverberación - prácticamente una composición perfecta - Y, por supuesto, una producción de sonido soberbia. Enhorabuena : )
Gracias amigo Ian, me alegra que te haya gustado el tema, he producido esta pista basándome principalmente en la voz femenina, que me había gustado desde la primera vez que la oí, por lo que me la llevé en cuanto pude a mi terreno, y le he dado ese toque trance que tanto me gusta. Que tengas un buen día compañero. Paz y salud.
Very nice work - dark and powerful with real depth and texture to the sound and I love the way it builds - epic sound and cinematic in scope for sure : )
Thanks! I ditched the lead, shortened the song a little. Did a little fixing to the mix, got the horns louder, after listening they were a little buried.
I tried to sing more on this one rather than just bark out the vocals, like I will be doing on the next one, he.
Great stuff - a trip down electro grunge lane (although Im not sure it existed you built it!) Love all the changes esp those about 140 and 220 but this one to come back too for sure : )

I´m, not the first ehh?
2:20 ish is a cool transition for me with the fill and then I used an eighties noise gate effect on the drums to massively enhance the snare. 1:40 is just a moe breakdown from the intense drums. thanks mate
I had been hearing this Metal Guitar sample for a while.
It jumped out at me the first time I heard it, but I couldn't seem to come up with anything that it would work with. I think I accidentally played it with the Drum beat I'm using. From there the other parts just kinda fell in place.
I (always)appreciate your listen and encouraging comments and Fave 4sure.
Hey there - sounds pretty good to me! You have got lots of risers etc but it's only trial and error (at least if you are a novice like me) to find out if more or less is better. I guess trance is one form that can often be somewhat minimal - driven by the beat a few melodic hooks and well placed breaks and transitional trick - but you've nailed it in that regard I think : )
Nice work Johnnie - you are a little tighter with the vocal here and its very fine as is the lyric. The track is really nice too, wonderful orchestration, etc. A hit for sure : )
Nice work guys - what is about weed and a reggae beat both seem to go so well together. This is warm and uplifting, your voice sounds great and the arrangement is really nice
Masterful and a beautiful blend of some classic synth, pop, funk and jazz elements from the last 50 years that sounds fresh, original and yes pretty magical
ps stay off the mushrooms : )
Hi Ian, thank you for listening and for your kind words, as well as for the certainly well-intentioned warning. Yes, I'm careful, but mushroom dishes are one of my favorite foods...
Cheers,
Micky
Gorgeous - despite so much happening nothing at all seems superfluous or out of place and the balance between the elements and the changes/ transitions is just perfect as is the sound production.
Exceptional!
I test sounds against the rest of the mix. If I can't hear them, I don't use them. This helps me to keep things in relatively separate frequency ranges, without much mixing. Much of the ethereal stuff never repeats, which takes a lot of samples for a 5:45 track, especially when they are layered.
I also tend to use loops and samples that are already in the correct tempo or key, rather than having to do too much stretching and pitching. This is more for economy than sound quality, though sometimes you want that "stretched," or "contracted" sound.
Anyway food for thought. Thanks again. More to come.
Hey Bonez - great pop sensibility in this one and I agree sitting somewhat across the genres drawing on house, lofi and pop - really nice vox and sound production too.
(Again) Love that slacker indie vocal style and the rnb/ Motown influence in the overall sound - this is warm, melodic, beautifully produced and has a really gorgeous grove - excellent.
Thank you for the love. The instrumental is very nice. I consider myself lucky to have had the oppurtunity to lay down some vox. I think I did a good job writing the verses too.
Hey Cru - smooth indeed but plenty of interest with the transitions and playing with rhythms and all round very funky while show great precision with the instrumentation. Great sound production too. : )
Preciosos ritmos y líneas de sintetizador melódico hábilmente entrelazadas que se acumulan en grandes barridos de sonido hasta llegar a una pausa inteligente - ¿hay un indicio del famoso Phil Colins (en la batería de esta noche de aire en esa primera pausa y en el outdo) : )
¡Muy buen trabajo Roberto!
Hola mi buen amigo IAN, tienes algo de razón con el ritmo, has nombrado a Phil Colins, y sí soy un gran admirador de su música, sobre todo de su sonido de batería, de esas espectaculares reverb gates que utilizaba en los años 80. Gracias hermano por tus comentarios tan cálidos y positivos. Que tengas una buena tarde. Paz y salud.
Great track - missed it before - wonderful work on the synths - I can imagine that this would make a very good end credits track on some spine-tingling horror film!
