Chris, you know what is great about your page? There is not one bad song in your entire list. Every last song is a great listen and this one is no exception. I'm way too old and feeble to dance, but I can bob my head like I know what I'm doing, hahaha.
Great mix, great production and a thoughtful creation. Well done my friend. I do hope all is well.
Wow Maff, you really took this one to a different plane, kind of a jazz/tribal/fusion vibe going on, and your arrangement is spot on. Love the addition of Katie B's vox on this...gives it just the right amount of dissonance. Like Ed said, I think I'd leave this one just as it is. Perfect work brother.
I hope all is well and that you have a great holiday season.
Extremely creative, lyrics are a 10, music is a 10, vocals are an 11...nothing to critique here. Just a great song performed really, really well. I look forward to your next posting, and welcome to the Loop.
Thank you very much! I checked out some of your tracks, great guitarscapes :) I'm happy to be part of the Loop, very cool place to meet and collaborate with talented people.
The suggestion to add a few fillers is a good idea, but I would wait until you put vox on it before you do that. It is one hell of a foundation for any rapper who is looking for a great beat.
Very nice work. Hope you and your family have a great holiday season.
Geez Pat, this is awsome. Since I have to travel north again for the holidays, I will play this one loudly as I sit in the congestion that is Interstate 15. I'll roll the windows down and just smile at the ##### as they stare at me while this is playing, hahaha. GREAT JOB!!! Thanks for the download and I look forward to your next rant :) Hope all is well and that you and the family have a great holiday season. Take care.
Hey my friend, thanks for the kind comment! Hope you scare your fellow drivers on the interstate! I'm glad you could enjoy this one. I appreciate the support!
Well, let me first say I know absolutely nothing about this genre of music, but I do know it is fun to turn up the volume to 11 and watch the walls shake, hahaha. I've been to a few clubs in Vegas and this one would fit right in there. Definitely an interesting listen. Hope all is well.
Well, like Ed said, this gave the speakers a workout, and also sent a few paintings to the floor, hahaha. Never could find the volume button when I needed to. Oh well, got the old motor running this afternoon for sure.
I know absolutely nothing about this genre, but I don't need to when the music sounds this good. Great synth work and a really nice tight mix. Well done Kenny. Hope all is well.
By the way, every time I hear that speech I get inspired all over again. MLK was an amazing human.
Kind of a dub avante garde approach on this one. Nice crisp mix, some nice work done on it for sure. Nothing to critique here. An interesting approach and an interesting song. Very nice percussion elements throughout. I enjoyed it. Well done!
Bear, I appreciate your input. I always enjoy feedback from a music enthusiast. I honestly am not sure what sound I was shooting for on this one but once we wrote the song we knew it was worth sharing. Thanks!
Søren, first let me say I'm so sorry for your loss. Words usually fall short in expressing the pain associated with those times. However, music always expresses the emotion.
This is a beautiful tribute and one I know your mother would be proud of.
Words fail me at times like this. I feel your pain. And appreciate the way you have expressed it. Thanks for sharing this emotional piece with all of us. Hang in there. It does get better.
This is fantastic work, absolutely fantastic. You have magic in your fingers, a feeling that comes only with years and years of devotion to an instrument. This is as good as it gets.
I have been traveling quite a bit, and I downloaded this one to listen to in my car on those long trips (thank you so much for allowing us to download this).
There are times when it is good to simply sit back, close your eyes, and enjoy the show. That is what you have done for me today.
Bravo maestro, bravo! Extremely well done from start to finish. I will now stand and applaud your performance!!!

My friend Behnam, I hope you are well. I finally have a few moments to spare so I can catch up with some of my favorite musicians.
Wonderful track, jazz/fusion at its best. I love your use of dynamics and tempo changes. This is fabulous work....my only critique is the abrupt ending, but that is just being picky :) You continue to perform at such high levels. This is stellar work my friend.
I hope all is well with you. I will return soon. Take care.
Master ,Hi I was looking to lloperman buT was not online,
when I saw who has commented for me , I was convinced to come to appreciate exclusivelY your critique .
it's very good to see your mastership carefull attention.
yes , I'm agree with U , generallY as U can see in my reply to other friend like Domenico & BrandY my friends or master cunningham,personalY I categorize this as a subordinate level of my trials.and reason is 2 things :
1_usage of loops=nothing is written in this trial , all are loops..not from looperman maybe..but royalty free loops.
2_issues like that true critque of yours + if we think musical form of this trial is ( A _ B + A' _ B' } I don't like the way Part A goes to B or B goes to A or as U say the way trial is going to finish(abrupt was the proper word_and thnX for teaching me a new english word).that still doesn't convinces me . but these reasons made me upload this cause I was sure between U,Ed,Franco,or Dan at last someone will tell me what to do.Bear do U remember when We got friend?when U had written '' not sure if anyone care ''.
I feel the same ..but also I feel'' who is important to care..''?...''what is importance & why there should be any importance ''?...why there is a what and what is whY in our head? ...and I've changed to someone who doesn't enjoy ovations in looperman anymore..even don't feel that mood to
want express myself by music...why we should express ?...why
music should express our subjective world?..why sometimes ''never mind'' doesn't work ?
Hey Wayne, I really enjoyed this one. Living out here in the middle of the desert, not too far from some pretty cool gold mines and ghost towns, this song fits perfectly. I'm going to download it (thanks for that) and then play it on the IPod as I wander through the ruins trying to imagine what the old towns looked like in their heydays.
Outstanding effort. Hope all is well down in sunny Florida.
You should get a metal detector and find lost gold in all your travels through those old towns and mines like those guys on that Diggers show, lol!
Hi Bear! Glad you liked the track, has a bit of that western feel, guess the electric git has the tremolo and reverb to help with that feel. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on this one.
Wish you allowed comments on your tracks, see you have a new cinematic track, nice dubby, glitchy, cinematic track. Sounds great. So you're on a cinematic fix, can't wait to hear more. I guess I just gave you a review on your track!! I beat the system!!
First let me say I have not received any of your emails. The only message I got was the one just now through Looperman. I believe my government (or perhaps yours) or perhaps both governments have intercepted our attempts to communicate. So, unfortunately, we may have to only communicate through Looperman. I do hope you have been well. I have been extremely busy and limited in the amount of time I have here on Looperman. Please know that I would never forget my friend, or what you have taught me these past years.
I truly enjoyed this piece, as I do all of your work. You have much talent, and it is my hope, that with your new leadership in your country that our two countries can become friends in the future. Until then know that I will always call you a friend and a brother.
I tried to send a message through your profile but the contact is turned off. Again, my apologies for any discomfort I may have caused in my absense. Take care of yourself, and it was good to hear from you. And keep making music my friend. It makes our world a smaller and better place. All my best.
dear Bear , U know your words all are appreciated and worthwhile for me . and hyour presence makes me honoured
as usual .and I wanted to answer U here , buT I thaught It's not logicall to I share my opinions opposit to Islamic regime of Iran here & as U too have told me many times I should be carefull althought there' ain't happen any thing,but anyway ,I thaught it's better sent U an email and a private message.just here I want to add for sure Iranian nation have greatest respects for all oter nations and American and europe and Asian all are brothers and sister and human kind is totally a unit existance for our nation and nation donoT follow what islamic murder regime tries to
say about many of other countries .
personalY I think human kind is a unit existance and human is beyond his passport , and no heart and no brain have no borderlines like countries and nationality is a subordinate factor for definition of us (humans all) which can never define who we are in facT ..and personally I know many American who I really love them , and many Iranians who I have hated them ...and personalitY & perception are somethings beyond where we born ...and for sure We all know it's not Barry Morgan's choice to attack to Afghanistan...and it's noT Behnam Zandi's choice to support terrorist groups like hezbollah in lebanon & palestine...otherwise Iran & America was calling eachther '' Hello Brother ''......thank U veryvery much for your attention and worthy comment and words which means aloT for me . Bear beynd music , I appreciate your prsonalitY & thaught and perception.best wishes brother.sincerelY.___Behnam
Wow Kenny, it's been a while but it looks like you are doing some really great stuff......this is fantastic work. Great band, great vocals, everything about this one says "HIT RECORD" all over it.
Man, there is nothing to criticize here. Just a great track to enjoy my friend. I hope all has been well with you.
Ah, I've been away for a while, and saw you had a new one up. Love the instrumentation....almost as much as I love your vocals. The instrumentation is really playful and skillfully combines (loved those guitar screaches). Really nice mix. There are a couple of places where I would love to have your voice a bit more forward in the mix, but those are minor things.
Very glad to see you back, Bear ! :D
I'm really happy and honoured you liked this and said the mix is nice, cause I know I'm bad at mixing most of the time ( usually do it by instinct ) .
I spent a long time on this song, not really knowing where I was going, just feeling things . And though it's particular and still sounds awkward, my heart is glad with the result .
Yeah, thx Bear, all is well here, despite the gloomy atmosphere of this, haha . Dunno why music and words often draw the darkest side of me .
What about you, my dear friend ? Hope you and yours are in great shape !
Wow, impressive work all the way around. Drums are outstanding and the lead work is really, really good. Not sure if you guys are in a band, but if not, you just might need to all get together and start one. Some major talent right here. Impressive work. Hope all is well.
Scott, what a beautiful tribute to your sister. I'm sure she is smiling as she listens to it (I know I am). You have mad skills my friend, and this track shows them off nicely.
Thanks for sharing this with all of us. Sensational in every way possible.
Thanks so much, Bear. I appreciate your kind words and compliment to me. It's high praise coming from you. I have been following your talents for quite some time. I also have tons of your loops from here.
Sometimes the best songs end up being the most obvious....not sure why none of us thought to put the different versions together.
But I am sure glad you do. Excellent work. It is always an honor to play alongside such greats as Patricia and Marty. Thanks for putting this one together. Beautiful work. I hope all is well.
Thanks Bear, I'm Glad You Liked It, As I Said To Dan All The Versions Stand Alone. I Don't Have A Real Audio Mixing Program, So I Used My Video Editing Software...Sony Vegas Pro12 To Mix This. I Think Some Publisher Should Pick This One Up, You All Did So Great!!! Keep Up The Excellent Music
Carole, it has been a while since I've been in your neighborhood (a really busy summer for us). But I am glad to discover you have been busy creating. A beautiful song that goes so well with my requisite morning coffee. An absolute pleasure to listen to.
Tempo changes are always difficult. Again, I really like your guitar work. You could throw some reverb on the track in the mastering stage and turn it into a "Rush like" arena recording. Don't give up on it, because it has serious potential. Another good effort.
Bear, I took a quick listen to your catalog, and I'll be back for more soon. I'm definitely a fan. Work is crushing me right now. Just wanted to say hello for now and will talk more later. :-)
Really nice work here, especially on the guitars......the mix seems a bit "narrow" to me. I think you could widen it out a bit and really do this one some justice...but then again, I could just be nit picking, haha.
Just to respond to Cruce/EV/Short all together. Thanks for the kind kinds guys. I'm impressed by all of you work. You are all quite right - the mix is bad. It's what's left of an old track recorded in 1991. I suck at mixing - and this track was ancient technology. I'm sure I will do better with the new tech, but I would be more than happy if any of you guys like any of my tunes and would like to help me do them right. THE NEW WAVE GROUP has job openings!
What you guys will see eventually is I have a helluva knack for writing cool pop and rock tunes with very good lyrics. I can record a good power chord, a good acoustic, or a good riff if that's of use to anyone. Happy to. :-)
Working together, I think the talent on this site could do some magnificent work.
If yer interested - you can listen to my old catalog of nifty tunes of lackluster production. Run w anything that moves you. Also click the LOVE POEMS link if you want some lyrics. There's over 100 poems there - have at it if it does anything for you.
You really do have a flair for the dramatic....pretty amazing how you have ability to combine all of the different sounds, key changes, etc. and tell such amazing musical stories. This is really nice work, with great textures throughout. Well done Charlene!!!
Chris, I've been away most of the summer, but it is always a great feeling to come back and discover jewels like this one. Pete is such a huge talent, and when you put him in the mix with your amazing musical abilities, you have a recipe for success.
This is terrific work from start to finish. Like the others said, you could bring the music up a bit, but that is just nit picking at this point.
Well done gents. Great way for me to top off my evening. Hope all is well.
Hey Bear, it's good to see you're back here on the loop !!!
Thank you for the kind words. To be honest, I was a bit discouraged by this track before I sent it to Pete, and I'm still amazed by his capacity to "know what to do" immediately...
I'm glad you liked the song, and I hope there will be some other ones for you guys...
