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
I am way late in catching up with this one Elena...but glad I finally did...this is good rocking stuff...reminds me just a little of a group I used to listen to a long time ago (Steppenwolf) who did many of my fav rock songs...good straignt forward arrangement..those little drops/breaks work well...You should finish this one...some banging drums would be great and maybe a couple of short screaming lead parts...well done ladyinred......Ed
:) Ed I'm proud of your kind words .
about drum i wish someone can help me ...
i'm not really good abiut beats ...
and regarding screaming lead i wished someone like Behnam or you was kind enough to do that !
cause i can't play lead guitar.
Ed thank you much much for the words.
i appreciate your time and comment .
:) Elena
This one could easily cross over to the pop charts too Steve..its got all the elements...the beat..the sounds...the hook...the catchy vocals...nicely produced too by the way..levels are up there but the dynamics havent been limited to death...missed this one while I was away, so good to catch up with some of my favs (still working on that)....great job...hope the Spring sun is shining on you over there...Ed
Like many of us...you are likely your own harshest critic Mark...this is good stuff mate...I know...I listened through to the last note & enjoyed every funky hopping pop minute,,...an eclectic mix of instruments and nicely produced....keep them coming...you obviously had a lot of gems you were keeping to yourself....well done...Ed
A big thank you as always for your kind, positive but always honest comments. I am really pleased you liked and yes I have a store of earlier work, but feedback at the time was negative so I mothballed them and saved most as mp3's but have lost a lot of the original wav files. I decided to give them an airing on looperman so I could have some constructive feedback!!
hot damn (its a prairie saying borrowed from some old Americal western I think...) you`ve got some extra cool sounds going on here...you gotta be having a good day my friend...this is uplifting crazy good stuff..I`m just checking to see if its downloadable...yep...so thanks for that as well as the good listening....that is one grooving shaman....and he ends on a nice peaceful note...so good night......great track...fav....Ed
I just had to go and read your profile page (again) FR...and its been well worth the read every time so far..haha...and about the music.....I know squat about DnB so I`m just listening...(my body would hurt too much if I tried dancing to it on a Monday morning)...its got big fat production values and I note that you hit it hard with the limiting that seems to be a common part of the genre...I can tell you were having fun doing this one....it was a fun listen too (woke me right up)......Ed
Yeah, it's probably about time i updated that profile page as those jokes are pretty darn old now.
As for the track i'm glad you listened to it but i have a better version that i've been trying to upload for about an hour and a half. It's really winding me up now!
Anyway, thank you for playing my row of a tune, i know it's not really your thing so that makes it that little bit more special.

Hi Advait07...I am not a good source of advice on the genre...but I think you are off to a good start and I notice that you have already received some useful comments & suggestions...I am always in agreement with those who suggest variation and structure in compositions as it tends to make the mix more interesting as listening music as well...good for you...keep it going...Ed
a really good combination of the dramatic and quieter moments...superbly done domr...and I particularly like the piano - strings combination...excellent production....Ed
an interesting combination of the big rich sounds (a little dark) with the airy sounds and lighter contrasting arp...well done Anubis...I enjoyed this one....Ed
This ambience is not very complex, just consider the feeling.
are interesting elements to mix.
your words are very welcome my friend.
Thank you for taking the time to listen to this composition.
ah yes...this is the kind of musical trip that makes you set aside less important things and remember that you are on a short journey on this little beautiful planet filled with many wonderful things that are there to be found by those who can let the noise and darkness of the self-interested minority and political power players fall aside...I listened to this a while back Orlando, but didn`t have the chance to leave a few comments...superbly done...Ed
Thx alot Ed...I didn't know you've already checked it out, otherwise I wouldn't be bothering you. This piece of music will leave some memories for me in the sense how it has been done. I did the whole thing in one or two hours. It was an incredible experience. I did the complete lenght basic track in one single take, which is incredible. I just did some overdubs later on. In fact it was like uninterupted live session. It just happened that magical night when my emotions and my fingers on the keyboard were in perfect harmony. This just can't be repeated! It was one off experience.
Thanks again for your kindness...
Orlando is always good musiscal company Anubis...but must say you did a really nice job on this one...ambient music is for the restful mind..(not for people with cluttered minds looking for an adventure) and this one does it just fine...well done......Ed
many thanks to you my friend, I'm very glad you like it.
On this site we met people with incredible talent, who bring inspiration, good stuff, among other things.
not always the most upbeat songs has the same enthusiasm that an ambient music, feelings may be different in musical genres.
depends on the composition. ,D
thank you for leave a comment here,for all support
Really interesting track Spiv...I knew it would be when I read that you and Behnam were mixing it up...definite industrial backing and a bit dark/ominous..The vocal is quite a contrast..not so much the lyrics...but it has a lighter vibe and your vocal character puts a more upbeat vibe to it in spite of the darkness of the words...I guess it just continues to prove that music can paint some very complex pictures for the mind of the listener...Music for thinking people...that is a very creative kind of accomplishment....a well done to you and Behnam...Ed
Your comment made my day friend! I hadn't really thought about the feelings you got from the vibe of the vocals and stuff. I think the lyrics are pretty basic averall, but I tried to inject the light and dark of life into them. I appreciate you listening to some unusual styles. Thanks very much!
Time Of The Seasons has been a long time fav of mine Scott (watched them play it live a while back) so your wee doggie & I might get along well...a bit of a similar vibe here obviously even though its a much different track...great stuff...and kudos on the production on this one...you obviously put a lot of talent into that as well as the music....Ed
heavy stuff locatednowhere....that little break at 1:55 works well....you should be getting more plays, but I guess LM doesn`t have a lot of metal fans...its always good for those times when you need a heavy rock fix...keep on...Ed
I see I`m late catching up with this one but really glad I finally did...just a fantastic bit of musical work BearAustin...very pro sounding all around...much enjoyed...definite fav.......well done....Ed
hell yeh....nice funky uplifting little tune that sails right along with nary a care in the world....good for you Tatiavha...keep on doing your thing...neat ending with the digeridoo sound & laughs...party time......Ed
you had me hooked right at the intro with that acoustic guitar MisterCH...you have a unique vocal character (and its not something that can be learned or bought) that catches attention...very vice job on this one...I dont mind reverb, but a little less on this one would be better...and thats just a personal taste thing....well done...Ed
Thanks for listening!
And yes, I actually agree with you. When I put the reverb effect, I found it pretty cool, probably because I'd never really done it before, but now I think the song would be better off without it or, at least, with more subtlety to it.
It sounds good ...it feels good...and it is good...really like this one Mark...I`m into acoustic these days (although I just sold my Martin to a guy who loved it more than me) so this one fills the bill really well...Ed
