I think I root about 90% of what I do in minor keys Spiv...for some reason they just seem to hold more character or something...great job on the vocal in this one...it caught me as a little Bowie like when you first kicked it in...when you get this many musical elements & movements into the mix it sure takes the industrial genre to a place that appeals to the ear a lot more quickly than the mixes that focus a lot of the noise/machine parts (I know I`m not expressing this well)...but suffice to say..its makes for good listening for guys like me who are not too up on things...another great track...one of you best I think......Ed
Thanks my friend for stopping by! I don't want to think what this song would've been if it were in a major key...lol! Thanks for the compiment on the vocals! Been compared with Bowie, Ian Curtis, and Trent Reznor already with this track, and those are all big influences for me, so it means a lot! I know what you mean about the noise/machine style industrial, I guess that's never been my favorite style. I think things like that are best left to genres like minimal, noise, and glitch. Thanks much for your support!
You have some really nice musical accompaniment for a Hardcore track EYEDYE...I like the concept and I think you are off to a good start here (well done on the lyrics too)..keep on doing it....If you like a little more reverb on your vocal (and thats a metter of personal taste)...set a long predelay on the reverb you are using after you have it close to where you want....the predelay sets the amount of time before the reverb kicks in, so vocal can be more distinct....well done...Ed
Well...if its weird...then I really like weird DESTRO...mainly Spanish vibe I think with the guitar & percussion but its brilliantly good in any genre you want to post it...great job....keep on....Ed
Hi Johnny....I hope by now you aware that you have a special talent...I hope you keep feeding it and doing your music...My impressions are from several things...the compositional thinking and choice of instrumentation....the expressiveness in the playing and the way you use the spaces (as well as the notes themselves)..the way your tune carries the theme that was in your mind and the pictures it paints for the listener...I did a track last year to support a video (time lapse) of the night sky so have some appreciation of the beauty and shines through the darkness.....great job....keep on....Ed
Well I am not aware of myself possessing a special talent, I am aware though that people view me to have a special talent. Slight difference but it doesn't matter ;)
I am really glad though that you enjoyed this and left such a kind comment.
If you want you can message me the song you made, would be interested in hearing that as well. Especially with the timelapse along it, it makes up for something really nice.
Thank you for posting this one Behnam...Michael is a superb musician who I admire greatly and a thoughtful and supportive person....you make good musical company together...this is a beautiful, emotional song delivered most naturally and perfectly accompanied by the music.....one of my favs...and 2 of my fav musicians.....Ed
many thnx Ed for atention & nice review .as U've mentioned Mike was a good musician & friend & I wish all the best for him & U both .i appreciate U for kind reiew master.best wishes.___B
PS...I think its something about the structure of your composition...I`ve always liked mixes that strayed a bit from the usual...fits the vocal approach really well in this case...and kudos to whoever did the vocal....still digging it on another listen...Ed
Yep first rock track, one more then on to some other genre's, lol most of my music is a little different then most :))Vocals are from a pack I purchased a few years ago, sadly lost most of them when 2 of my hard drives crashed, made a couple of changes to them so they suited the track, track sounds nice without the vocals too but prefer the vocal version better myself, part of me thinks the vocals make the track, Thank you for the review Ed...Like said in other reply made my day coming from you mate...Peace n Respect Mosaic....
your kiddin??...doesn`t sound to me like a first rock track...sounds to me like a track by a musician that soaked up a lot of blues-rock...a little T-Rex...some Doors...and a lot of melodic ideas...this honestly is good stuff Mosaic...Bravo mate....not just for the track...but for pulling this off in a genre that hasn`t been in your ammo pouch...Bravo....fav......Ed
Mate thank you for such a great review and very kind words, coming from a talent like you made my day that's for sure, as I have said in other replies, something nice about this one, I cant stop playing it myself, which is strange as I normally don't like listening to my own stuff straight after making them, but this one is different...Have a acoustic/rock track just about finished, maybe not as good as this one...but nice piece...Thank you for the fav and support mate...Peace n Respect Mosaic...
hey clindsay...sure is no lack of the big energy here...definitely party music..sounds like a mix of bangra & house and its very cool...way to go....crazy is good....Ed
Hi Chris....I was planning on just spending a few minutes checking what was happening on the Loop before I head out...but just had to log in to leave you a few words on this one...Its absolutely superb mate and one of the finest chill/ambient mixes I have listened to in a long while...it accomplishes all that your comments suggest and I enjoyed it a lot....Bravo...definite fav from this ol boy...you have a fine musical mind and its great that you have a way of continuing to make the music.....Ed
you are one prolific guy FR....I think I`ve deleted about 30 or so tracks since I joined the Loop...I just keep a few up to keep my nose in on things...about the mix...yeah...its got that club mix vibe...strikes me as a bit smoother that many I have listened to, so that also helps make it a good listen for guys like me that just sit back with the ears perked & let others do the body shaking....some fat vintage sounding synts stuff going on here & it starts pumping good through the last section....It must be dam good...I listened all the way through & that doesn`t happen with 10 minute tracks often...Keep on mate......Ed
The best band to come out of Oz....the best cover of this one i haver ever heard....just a fantstic job guys...reminded me of their concert here that i attended back in the day...really like the way you did this one. Fav.....Ed
Really like the bass in that 2nd section...very chilled stuff..has a bit of a mysterious vibe too....almost ambient and a nice relaxing listen..good job on the production Cyber...nice and clean sound for all instruments....enjoyed this one....well done....Ed
Hey Scott...now this is different in the best of ways...I thought I heard Carlos Santana step in there with a few tasty guitar licks once in a while...great stuff....way to spread the cheer.......Ed
Hey Ed, Thanks allot, my friend. When I found this pella I knew it would lend itself to some of my funk/jazz style. Yeah, it does sound a bit like Carlos, now that you mention it.
I really like that big rich sounding pad...it contrasts very nicely with the lighter sounds..the bass seems to be atonal in most of the track (noticible in the last section in particular) but it is low enough in frequencies that it seems to work...well done Cyberliam...a nice relaxing bit of music....Ed
well...this sure is real world lyrics for a young man...feel like I just sat down & had a conversation with you & listened to your observations about your computer & partying...haha....good job...left me smiling....Ed
Consider yourself severely chastized for staying away for so long HaHa (actually I had to be away for most of the past month myself)...well...you can sit there with your guitar and play as long as you want and I will keep listening....thats the way many many of my fav songs of all time have been done....and I always enjoy your songs Carole....well done again.....Ed
I can't help blushing like a peonie (French calked, lol) while reading your words, my dear Ed...
I'm lucky you didn't see me playing that one-fingered chorus and Bm chord, ha ha...
So reading such positive words from you is more than an honour to me...
Merci from the bottom of my heart, Ed.
xoxoxo
Hey Dan....you outdid yourself on this one man...the vocal may be the star...but I gotta say you did one superb job on the keys (piano & synth)...you`ve got a great sound mix...has that late night loungy vibe with a sprinkle of R&B going on...well composed and perfectly delivered...gotta fav this one.....Ed
And extra thanks to you Ed for faving this piece! Really appreciate your thoughtful remarks as always and I'm looking forward to hearing more of your excellent tracks as well! Dan
You`ve got a good one going here Static....I do like the length...it maintains that late night in the city blues vibe (if thats the right description) all the way with the lead guitar weaving those cool melody bits...very nice job on the guitar too by the way...would be a cool accompaniment for a video but its dam good listening music just as it is....enjoyed this one.....Ed
Hello. This one is right up your late night street. Damn, it's got a lot of comments for the number of plays. It was at something like 10 comments for 30 plays - the best ration I've ever had. Reminds me of your level of popularity on this site.
Maybe it's something to do with it being so much shorter than most of my other tracks. Perhaps commenting at all on something that's over 10 mins is just too daunting for most people. Or maybe they're awful tracks but this short one is great. Anyway, I don't make music for Looperman members, I just happen to post it here.
It's going to be a lot longer because I've already got a lot more recorded for it, just not yet finished. The drums stay at the same tempo but get busier and less sparse so appear to pick up pace. That kind of shuffle groove I find incredibly easy to play loads and loads of blues guitar on. I could go on for hours so am finding ways to give each section real character. And there's a hell of a bass riff driving it all plus my usual other range of sounds.
Late night in the city didn't come to mind when making this but I know what you mean. Morphine are the greatest group for that, not that they're even a blues group.Or jazz. Just their own unique genre.
I do like this one's legth and would be happy to leave it at this length. But the other stuff I have is irresistible and it'll be interesting to hear the range of guitar soloing though I think the best solo is in this version (after 2 mins). Noitce the sitar playing occasionally under those guitar solo notes.
The solo was one take of playing but then chopped up and reordered as not every bit of it was great. I was just noodling about so had no real structure. The careful editing has really given each section each progresses through some character. One of my best solos, especially as I'm not really a lead player or soloist.
Have a listen again when I post the extended epic version.
Nice job on the words and vocal deivery YungWill...its a nice smooth mix and I like the piano...Please take it as constructively intended...but I found the music mix got quite repetative after the first minute or two...It stays in an A minor key all the way through....I think you would really kick it up a notch by just doing a couple of key changes...or maybe a little progression like Am-C-G-Am would work a treat and you wouldn`t even have to change the vocal...anyway...a big well done to you...melodic hip hop raises the bar....keep on doing it.....Ed
Hey man... thanks a lot for the feedback..and wow u just opened up a whole dimension to it.. I appreciate a lot. Thanks a lot Ed. It's coz of people like u why we at looperman.
I`m with you on the whole idea of doing a new take on the band`s sound but doing your own thing at the same time (easier said than done)..this one nails it..my younger brother got into Zep before I did (I was drooling on Steppenwolf) but they were great...on that widening the mix thing tv...if you are making room for a vocal in the middle/up front..it may be an idea...If the lead guitar bits are to carry the melody I would be more inclined to actually do the opposite..take a little reverb off (or set a long pre-delay on the guitar`s reverb.) and get the lead a bit more in front of the band...It a dam good rock tune tv...my day is off to a good start...right on...Ed
Thanks for those tips Ed. I might remix the lead and put it more up front since I don't have vocals. Appreciate you taking the time to give it a listen and commenting.
You have some great sounds and a nice catchy key prog going MR...perhaps it is just me but the hand clap and bass/kick drum seem out of time with one another in places?...If you get that bass part waaay down in frequency to sub level it will sound less disonant and fatten up the bottom end for you...I think you have the ingredients for a good mix here MR ..keep it going......Ed
That piano bit followed by that big rich pad is a real grabber Dan...the quiet bit at 2:10 just lets the whole thing soak into your brain....what a great mix of the big industrial power with really tasty musical elements...some thoughtful composing here too...It may not be a genre I have spent much time listening to but its dam good music in any genre Dan....great job.....Ed
Thanks Ed for the kind remarks and compliments. Yeah the second part at 2:10 is my favorite part on this track. I enjoyed composing this and may do some more future industrial tracks. Appreciate you dropping in and its good to see you back. Peace out.....Dan =B-)
I`d put Spiv`s signature on this one no matter where I heard it (see... you may educate me yet)...can`t help notice the production stuff you have going on Spiv..the way you spread out those fx bits that produces a lot of space for the main synth & beat parts...always an adventure, education an fun listen..cool littel piano bit at the end....right on....Ed
