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...
I haven't been around much this summer.....this is actually the first song I've listened to since my return. I realy enjoyed your work. The in places are a bit back in the mix, but for the most part you did a really stellar job with both the composition, and the production.

Hi there!
At first, thanks for taking your time to comment. It's significative to me.
Well, about the song, I've tried to fix my voice (for second time). Listen again if you want.
About the acapellas, I sent a message to Shan, but I can't upload acaps yet. I wonder how much time it takes.
Maybe I didn't write it clearly. Honestly, I had no idea what to write.
Anyway, I hope I can upload acaps soon.
Thanks again for listening and comment! :D
Behnam, my friend and brother, I hope you are well. I have been away traveling most of this summer, and am only able to check in every once in a while.
This is spectacular work!!! I think it shows just how masterful you are when you create songs, a true artist in every sense of the word. I admire your talent and skills, and this song is an example of the student teaching the professor a few things along the way. Absolutely stunning work.
I will download this one and it will be one of my most treasured songs to listen to. While we may be separated by thousands of miles, and our governments are both hell bent on our mutual destruction, you will always be my younger brother. Please take care of yourself. I will listen to this often and will always think of you.
Thanks for your friendship and your support. You are the best my brother. Be careful, the "gods" are watching :)
Bear , I just wish U know , U're appreciated by me , for all incredible kindness,guidance,musical knowledge,loops & helps which I'll remember them all in my mind with your name .
U're missed in looperman , & We will waiting to U comeback soon . thnx aloT master for your generous words abouT me . for me this track doesn't show students have anythng to learn professors.vice versa it will always make me remember Masters always have somethinG to learn studenTs. take care Bear . & in the end , Bear , I think no god has any eyes...if god was not blind , he had resigned from being creator just if one time he had seen the tears of the mothers,fathers,lovers&childerns; who they miss their desires , their dears ,& even their eyes in the wars which happens in the name of him..if he had eyes , there was not any hungry human in africa , and no effect child had been born in this world ...ja Bear I think the god is blind and if U mean '' Khamenei '' when U say God , I'm not afraid of his eyes , his commisions , his governmenT & althoughT U may don't know much about my private life , buT I have nothing to lose but my braveness Bear . best wishes of mine for U , for our planeT & for the libertY .SincerelY.___Behnam
Not sure if you were aiming for the dissonance created between the backing track and the vocals.....if it was intentional, then I would call this a great avant garde tune. If not, then perhaps it would be beneficial to allow someone else to add vocals and see what they sound like. Either way, it was an interesting ride.
Very nice cinematic track....it would definitely fit in a film or video game. Definitely has an epic feel to it. Well done. After you get a proper mix on it, it should be fantastic. Great effort.
Aye, yi yi, you are so damn good!!! Man this is such a trip and just amazing in so many different ways. I had to download it (thanks for that) so I could listen on my computer without having the sound drop off (not thrilled with the new player on the Loop).
Sam, you are a musician's musician. Keep doing what you are doing. Your technique, tone, talent are all the result of your hard work, dedication and study. You are a shining example for all of us who aspire to be better musicians.
Man, Baggadub, I'm a fan!! This is outstanding work. This sound professional in every way possible. Mix is spot on, and you treated Patricia's vocals with the respect they deserved. Great guitar work, organ is nice, and I love the bass line.
Sean, really, really nice work. Great blend of percussion, bass, and the acoustic guitar.....you left room for everything to breathe. Then you added in the sounds of nature and really took this one to a whole new level. Beautiful job. I enjoyed this one outside on the patio with my coffee this morning.
A great way to start my day. Hope all is well bro.
My brother Benham, there are times when the student teaches the professor a few things about this thing we call music.....
and this is one of those times.
There are no words to adequately describe what you have done here. I think Janis said it best, "I can almost feel your soul in my hands as I'm listening to this exceptional beauty."
This is truly a masterpiece in every way possible. I thank you for sharing this with all of us. I hope all is well with you.
My lovely Brother , Bear , before evertything wish U'll excuse me for latency about reply about this one .
and ,well...So at last U accepted me as an unseen student...hei man would be honored to me . Bear thanx alot for your generous words but untold is obvious for Us (both) that there's nothing instructive for professor Bear about this new trial of mine too . but maybe there was some kind of pain which has tried to explaining of himself for who doesn't live in a vacuumed part of the earth,about existance of real & untented sensation which some one feels because of living in a VacUUmeD. by the way adept I sent it to U when I saw your comment, but again my mail has came back to myself & U haven't recceived it ! & I wonder & don't know why ?! anyway adept U know about Importance of your possitve or negative Idea for me & accept my Best wishes as always & my greatest appreciation as an unseen student because of your taken time to listen to this trial of mine.Sincerely.___Behnam.
Wow again.....absolutely love the quality of your voice. For your first jazz tune, you really knocked it out of the park. Exceptional work. You are more than welcome to anything I have on my page (not sure I have anything worthy).
Fantastic work. I look forward to many, many more from you. Great backing track as well.
My brother Behnam, I would not change a thing on this one. It is absolutely perfect. I have visions of the Grand Bazaar in Tehran when I listen to this.
You have such a unique and wonderful style with all of your music. Just when I think I have you figured out, you go another direction and show me another facet of your musical talents.
Really well done Behnam. A song for the ages. I hope all is well.
Hi Master,really glad to see you here to commenting on this trial of mine .and dear brother Bear How do you know Grand and old & dirty Bazar in tehran man?! I wondered ! anyway adept it's a good feeling when U see your favorit artist has a positive idea about your trax which you gave me this nice feeling by your worthwhile possitive comment on this trial & thanx alot for every thing Bear .my best wishes as always.respectfully.___Behnam
Malu, it is amazing how your unfinished works often sound better than the "finished tracks" offered up by most of us. It really is a shame that you guys could not revisit this one and really polish it up. It has huge potential. Perhaps someday both of you will get a break and be able to finish it. Even so, a most enjoyable listen.
It's good to see you posting some tracks again. I hope all is well.
Richie it is great to see you back and even better, you bring an amazing song with you.
It's hard to describe just how good this one is. So I think the best thing I can do is sit back, grab another cup of coffee, and hit replay.
You and Patricia really should hit the road together. This is absolute perfection. Kudos to both of you. Another great song by two of the Loop's finest!!
I hope all is well. Thanks for the download as well :)
It's good to be here and thanks for the welcome back. It's always a great pleasure working with Patricia and this collaboration developed slightly differently than previous ones. Very much a voyage of discovery! Thanks for the comments and if we do ever get on the road together I'll let you know (bit difficult but who knows?).
Hey bro, it sounds really good. Love the chopped up piano loop of Martin's. I look forward to someone adding vocals to it. As it stands now, it gets a little repetitive towards the end.
Nice mix, with really good balance. All in all I would say you have a real winner here. Hope all is well.
Thanks for the comment. I was thinking of adding more towards the end but was afraid it would be a bit too much for a vocalist. If it hadn't been for your second pair of drums near the end it probably would have ended up bland, so I gotta thank you for that.
Sam, it is great to have you back on the Loop....wonderful guitar work as usual.
Man, you really have such great skill sets...timing, tone, expression....it is amazing what happens when someone works their A$$ off practicing and honing their craft.
Thanks for your service as well man, it is good to have you back safe and sound. Hope all is well.
Thanks so much! You are one of the key members of Looperman, and as always, I love to hear from you. I hope you are doing well, and thank you for your contributions to this site.
This version is as good or better than the original. Hopefully someone throws down the vox for this one. Until then it works quite nicely as an instrumental.
Killer guitar solos, oh man James, they are so good!!
I'm on the road listening to this on laptop speakers, but it sounds pretty good to me. Great track and it is like everything was planned out for ahead of time. Seemless in every way. Outstanding effort Colin. It would be amazing to have you and Minette in the studio at the same time....I think the results would be spectacular.
