when I listen to the electronic genres (that I dont claim a lot of knowledge about) and hear some nice chord progresions or key changes I usually think "I must be listening to a keyboard player"...as it seems part of the musical development of those who play the keys involves a whole lot more musical and music structure knowledge than those who do the DJ thing....I realise that the genres tend to follow particular (dance-based) structures but for a listener it is always a bigger pleasure to hear the musical elements as well....very nicely done Polyfronetic....If I wasn`t so lazy tonight I could dance happily to this one...Ed

yeah...you`ve got something different going on surya94...and in a good way...its nice to see genres mixed up a bit & taken in a new direction...the backing tracks could likely go with several genres (like the string stuff)..almost like cinematic hip hop...well done.....Ed

Kudos to you domr for a new direction in your music production...a nice smooth dance mix and a good way to start the day for me....it also has enough of the pop elements to cross over in that direction....well done mon ami....Ed

Ah Orlando....you have raised the haunting chill 100% with that smooth violin that you play so well and with feeling...great job and many thanks for your good company on this little musical journey...couldn`t be better.....Ed

You`ve got a really nice vocal delivery going here Larry...and the backing is smooth & right on the R&B chart...the only thing that kept getting my attention away frommthe song itself was the female backing vocal that is in the highest register...well done....Ed

geeez...here I am calling you larry again mark...its early out here...haha...keep on...Ed

Hey Larry...you`ve good a nice poppy "Now: sounding mix going here...I`m biased of course so I particularly like the little acoustic rhythm guitar bits (haha)..the whole thing is really well constructed so kudos to you on the composing...Guess I am another who is not a fan of autotune when its been used to the point that you can hear it...however, you used it as an effect here and thats a different story...I just read an article on autotune where the writer was comparing its current prevalance to that gated reverb drum sound that was the rage for a while in the 80s...but for now its a common part of whats happening in pop music etc...There was one little part at .20 sec in to the mix where I thought that high synth line was a bit distracting...maybe it could be pulled waaay back there...works better where it is in the mix with more compant....Anyway...you`re off to a good start...keep it going...Ed

Hi Soraya...yes I agree..there is a haunting quality and some darkness notable in the introduction right away...the flute and vocal are special...This one was a very enjoyable listen..I hope we hear more music on LM with the ethnic influences that bring new sounds and ideas to us....well done...Ed

I like this one hamood...it is quite cinematic and paints pictures of mystery...darkness....suspense...It is music that makes one think of the scene that it paints....well done...Ed

Superbe domr...very nice key progression and the soft drums and vocal just seem to float it along...very well done my friend...enjoyed this one...Ed

You surprise me even more than usual Behnam....On this side of the world guitar playing like that would get your picture on a lot of music and entertainment magazines...and the girls would be chasing you everywhere you went...but there is more...I understand the musical picture you paint..the darkness...the anger....the sadness....the frustration...the power...and the justice that should be done....Heavy metal is not on my regular listening Behnam (although I like a group called Nightwish)...but music created with thougtfulness, feelings ,creativity and passion alwsy is....and always has my great respect.....great creation you have made...for a worthy cause...Ed

Mack Man...this is gorgeous stuff...definitely got that late night up town vibe...super playing on that ax...easy fav....much enjoyed...Ed

In any genre you want to post it...its still really good listening Leverett...I enjoy listening to how others use acapellas as trying to compose to them is not one of my strong suites...This really is a super bit of work...very smooth...love the instrumentation and the way you let the mix evolve....much enjoyed...well done...Ed

The town I live in has a lot of rock fans EA...I think you could keep pretty busy playing around here with them metal chops..I hear the talent and that usually overcomes any of the little technical production things...I`ve been producing since tape days but got totally tired of all the steps you had to do for even the simplest things with most recording software....download the trial version of Sony Acid (I`ve used the pro version for about 10 yrs...but the studio version is actually all anyone would usually need)...I`m now totally biased...but its a piece of cake to use...all on one screen & you wont even need to look at the built-in tutorials or help files usually) good basic plug-ins etc......anyway...I know you`re doing it for the joy of playing & sharing....keep on doing it.....well done...Ed

Perhaps it the flute but as it came in I was thinking "Enigma"....as I listen to this one Steve..I`m just thinking...glad I found the Loop (I had disregarded it as a listening post for a long time)....I could listen to this kind of music..for a very long time when its done this well....kudos to you...definite fav....Ed

I`m just listening on my pc speakers tonight Steve..but that sax sounds good to me...I`ve often gone looking for decent horn sounds for Chicago style blues etc and come up a bit empty as I`m a pretty poor keyboard player...Quite a big mix this one..but clear as a bell...smooth listening, yet has that power drive from the drums & bass that let you feel it....This kind of music I could just sit at the back table witha cool brew and listen to for the night...your compositional & playing talents are obvious...I`ll join Bear & danke in the ovation....Ed

Bravo.....just had to hit the play button when I seen you used a 6-8 (waltz style) beat...haven`t heard it used in popular music for ages...believe it or not I just recently went looking for (and found a copy of) an old song by the first incarnation of the Moody Blues (You Better Go Now) that grabbed me by the mind and ears long after I discovered the bands 2nd incarnation (they used a waltz eat very prominently in it)....anyway...beautiful rich intro and great job on letting it just build and evolve...this is thoughtful composing and really great listening Steve....just a great track..should be on a soundtrack....Ed

well...if you are 14 (which I dont believe) I`m sure you have a great future ahead of you...I am always reluctant to offer advice on a genre that I have little experience with so I tend to just consider wheather or not I enjoyed listening....found this one a bit too repetative (but I understand that is the nature of a lot of dance genres) although you certainly did keep it rolling with the instrument changes, arps and beat drops...not sure how accurate the wav. graphic is here on the Loop & while it looks like you have it limited down to everything at the same volume I thought the dynamics were fine (synths seem to be quite forgiving that way and I`m just listening pc my pc speakers) and the mix sounded nice and clean....I`m sure you will get a lot more useful feedback that I am able to provide....keep on...and all the best...Ed

You`ve got some really great musical company on this one gomagn...very nice job keeping JJ`s vocals up front & nice & clear...thats just a great sax part from Reiko...I think I may have one of his on file as its just so dm versatile it fits most everything...You`ve got everything you need in here...nice minimal type mix that lets every part work & comes of with a chilled vibe all the way...enjoyed this one....well done.....Ed

funny thing...the music that has stuck in my head the longest (and thats a long time) has tended to be the simple ones that just strike some feeling that says "Save to the hard drive" to the brain...nicely paced for a dancy vibe...yet smooth enough to leave a peaceful feeling...Good stuff Mark...keep doing it.....Ed

very classy intro...then hitting some of the biggest baddest wobbles on the planet...that drop around 2:18 where you dropped the drums & then brought in the big orchestral style percussion is great stuff....like that little transition at 3:17 too.....creative track HR...really liked this one....Ed

well DjTymZ....it sounds pretty good to me for something you dont usually do (kudos to you for giving it a shot)...its a nice easy listening track...only thing I noticed was that a couple of those little transitions are a bit rough (fad out)...one easy way to smooth it out is just tack something like a fairly long reverse cymbal sound (very low volume) at those 2 transitions...good listening anyway...keep on...Ed

I would like this one no matter what genre you put it under...would even make a dandy sound track for the right pictures...This one kicks of my Saturday morning just right (yes...its Saturday night over your way...the world will end about 12 hours earlier over there)....Great stuff Chris...you must have salvaged your music gear...always good to hear a new one from you...I knew it would be good...Ed.

Hi Orlando...I downloaded your tack...dont really think it needs anything but I will see if I can put together a few nylon string guitar lines for you...will use your contact for info...Ed

There is just something about this one that draws you in...maybe the repetative key prog...but you`ve varied up the approach so that it keeps the ears perked...the far away kind of vocal really fits the whole vibe to a T..that reversed type sound is great....enjoyed this one MightyMemphis....a well done to you......Ed
