on Orgone by scentlessapprentice

Great guitar chops!!!!! I mean freaking outstanding rhythm guitar work.

I loved everything about this one, from start to finish. One of the best rock tracks I've heard in a while. The ending is fantastic!!!

Really well done.

on Angel On A Pedestal by TheBedlamKids

Terrific work gentlemen. Combining the talents of Pete and Xpekt means the final result is a 10 out of 10. The dynamic duo strikes again!!!

Fabulous song and definitely ready for prime time. Well done.

on Stars Collide Snippet by StephanieKay

Great start to what could be a fantastic song. It needs a bridge to break up the repetitive nature of things....or maybe a chord change on the final chorus. Anyway, your vocal work is stellar as usual. I look forward to the final product.

on Un reve by janis71

There are times when words completely fail me....

This is one of those times. I have no adjectives to adequately describe your work. All I can do is smile, stand and applaud your efforts.

Exquisite work, like a multifaceted audio diamond created by a master craftsman.

Bravo.

Bear

janis71 replied 14th Nov 2012 - 13 years ago

If I made you smile, then my heart is filled with joy .
You're someone very humane and your music proves it, Bear, so I'm touched and honoured by your comment .
Bises,
Janis

on Festival of life 3 by soluna

Pretty imaginative use of Slap's "Joy to the World", kind of an early Christmas present for all of us :)

You've got skills my friend. I really enjoyed this one....extremely creative.

Bear

soluna replied 13th Nov 2012 - 13 years ago

Thank you very much. I appreciate your comments as you seem to be very active here on looperman and you know a lot of all these people here !?
Well, I was really amazed of SlapJohnson as he remembers me of the early works of Jan Garbarek, which is one of my favourite musicians on this planet!
And beside that it was a sudden fortune, that all the mixed loops in this track do not only fit musically but also in content. "Many voices for the joy in the world !"

Greetings.

on Walking To Hollywood by scottsims1970

Oh man, this is so nice. The sax is just sensational, the piano work is off the charts good, and the guitar is the topping on this jazz sundae. I am assuming that is you on guitar, and if so, absolutely stellar work.

This is music....just that simple, great music.

Bear

scottsims1970 replied 13th Nov 2012 - 13 years ago

Thanks so much for the kind words. It's very ironic that you commented because your Rhodes grooves brought me here. I searched everywhere for some cool Rhodes loops and yours were by far the best. I'll post the results in a few weeks.

on The Exorcism of ED and Ana by JohnBoutilier

Hey John, I think this track expresses your angst quite well. It is emotional, uplifting, and dramatic....just like the struggle Amber faces each day. Keep fighting the good fight my friend. I wish only good things for the two of you and I look forward to the wonderful news of your marriage in August :)

Beautiful work bro. Stay the course.

Bear

JohnBoutilier replied 13th Nov 2012 - 13 years ago

Always great to hear from you my friend :-) Its been far too long. You and your music have been missed :-)

This is a wonderful piece of music. It flows effortlessly throughout. You kung fu is strong :-)

on Three minutes with Shortbusmusic by jfw

Wow Jamie, it is amazing how your filled in the holes in this one. Your guitar work is absolutely spectacular. It is like having George Benson sit in.....

Thanks for making it available for download. I'm going to share the new and improved version with everyone.

Sensational.

Simply sensational.

Bear

jfw replied 13th Nov 2012 - 13 years ago

I'm glad you liked my efforts Bear and thanks for the kind comments. George Benson! - If only. I have updated this with a subtle remix following bbelle's comments.

cheers,

Jamie.

on Rock in da shoe Feat Romy Harmony by soluna

Absolutely beautiful!

Sometimes less is more and in this case, that is the truth. All you need is your wonderful piano and Romy's vocals. I love the intimate feel on this one. It's like I was in the studio watching you two record it live.

I love the understated brilliance of this one. Great job to both of you.

Bear

soluna replied 12th Nov 2012 - 13 years ago

Thanks a lot for your comment! Indeed it was a pleasure to work with this amazing kind of vocals and of course this voice is worth to be left standing for itself.
Yes: Les is more!

Greetings

on The Human Zone by Planetjazzbass

I came searching for another great travel tune to add to my collection and I've found it - EUREKA!!! This is just about as tasty as they get, superb bass, crisp percussion and Steve on the sax. God man, this is fabulous. I'm burning the mp3 to disc as we speak and then running out to the car to put it in the player, hahaha.

You are a rare gift my friend and the world is a better place with your music in it. Bravo maestro.

I hope all is well. A huge thanks for the download :)

Bear

Planetjazzbass replied 15th Nov 2012 - 13 years ago

Hey Bear..thanks a lot man!...an oldie but a goodie...actually of the tracks that I've made and listen to(not many!lol),this is it....I just love what Steve did here on his Soprano...cheers mate,your patronage is very humbling.
Dave :)

on heavy eyes by thyroid

I have to agree with Michael. I would call this cinematic/avant-garde/fusion and I second the genius comment. This is something that Quentin Tarantino would definitely use in his films.

Outstanding job from start to finish.

Bear

on The Cosmos by BlackKasper

One of the best journeys I've taken in a while. A great way to unwind at day's end. Well done.

on SHADOW ONE with a special dedicacy to SHORTBUS by janis71

WOW!!! This is absolutely spectacular....

Why are you not famous? You have such a current sound...I seriously think your music could easily be playing on radio stations anywhere in this world.

Your control is amazing, and you have an almost uncanny "feel" for what is needed, and when it is needed in a song (I hope that makes sense - your timing, dynamics, inflection, all of the great things great singers do).

It was really fun to hear your original song. I did take off in a whole different direction with your pella, didn't I, hahaha.

Thanks for your kind words. I am humbled by your praise and in awe of your talents. Thanks for sharing them with all of us here on Looperman.

Beautiful work. Now if I can just get my favorite button to work ;)

Bear

janis71 replied 10th Nov 2012 - 13 years ago

Oh Bear, your comment goes straight to my heart ( even if it makes me shy because it's undeserved ... ) !!
The nicest thg for me is that you like my work and come to say it . That's why I'm making music .
Then, you know, without a label and the "right people" behind you, there are few opportunities to hope for, unfortunately ..
Yes, you gave a very different atmos' to it and I loved what you did !!!Let ME thank YOU for your warm support, Bear .
Bises,
Janis

on On Silken Sheets by JohnBoutilier

Big John, great to have you back in the fold.....and you are back with a vengeance my friend. Love that guitar work on this one.......

Missed your smiling face bro. Hope all has been well and that life is treating you good.

A tip of the hat to both you and Elaine.

Bear

JohnBoutilier replied 10th Nov 2012 - 13 years ago

Hey, good buddy, glad you liked the tune. I have more coming I hope you'll like as well :-)

on bass wars 4x4 bassline by jamesstuart110

I had the volume cranked.....this one should come with a warning, hahaha. I've got stuff falling off the walls all over the place, hahaha.

I'd say you have a great start here. I'll check back to hopefully hear a finished version in the near future. Keep at it. Love that giant bass!!!!!!!

Bear

Your voice is so crystal clear, with such amazing control. I am absolutely speechless. Simply sensational.

Flawless performance. Thanks for sharing!

Bear

Hi Bear !
Oh, how sweet you are to me ! You make me shy with such an undeserved comment ! ...
I'm delighted you liked it !! T'was my very first song and try with music-making .
A very big thank you for your support and kindness,
Take care, Bear,

on Southern Tropic by jfw

Jamie, it is always such a pleasure to listen to your work. You are one of the best on Looperman when it comes to jazz, simply a master's class in doing things the right way. Your synth work was spot on. Beautiful mix, everything sitting so nicely. And then when that guitar comes in, my oh my, what a wonderful moment.

Like Patricia, I'm wishing I could download as well, hahaha.

Bravo Jamie. Outstanding!!!!!

Bear

jfw replied 7th Nov 2012 - 13 years ago

Thanks Bear - I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'll be dropping by to see whats new from you too!

on Cold Funk Slipt by midiman007

Great collaboration - you two have mad skills for sure. Also a tip of the hat to whomever laid down the vocals for this one....sick flow for sure.

I thoroughly enjoyed this one from start to finish, especially the piano work. Like listening to Leon Russell.

Outstanding job by both of you. Well done.

PS: I see you are from New York. I hope you weren't directly affected by Hurricane Sandy. If so, our thoughts and best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Bear

midiman007 replied 7th Nov 2012 - 13 years ago

Thanks I wrote the track and then had My05 add the fill stuff. I also liked the Piano he did.

The vocals were from a track I found on the net. I really am not into rap this was just one for the fun of it. Wanted to add the EVH style riff to it. Most say it sounds like RUN DMC.

Thanks for your concern on the hurricane. Yes I survived fine thank GOD. Praying to GOD really helped me.

on Walk Away featuring JJ WEEKZ by brillbilly

My friend, the use of the strings is genius indeed. They provide an emotional harmony for JJ's wonderful vocals. When you put the two together, you get absolute magic.

Sometimes less is more, and the song proves exactly that.

A tip of the hat to JJ, Joe, and especially you (I loved those little flute and guitar snippets). Outstanding production values as well.

A big 10 out of 10 on this one.

Bear

brillbilly replied 7th Nov 2012 - 13 years ago

Thank you bear!

I think jj's vocals are the iceing and MR.f is the cake..........all i did was carry it in the room and put candles on it. lol!

It's a pleasure getting to work with great like minded people.!

Thank you for your very kind remarks bear.!

That's damn sweet of ya!

on LET GO featuring NATE MONOXIDE by edzwood

I know very little about this genre, but in my humble opinion you need to just get rid of the vocals.....they aren't helping. The problem may lie with trying to mesh the bpm of the vocals with the bpm of your track.

I've found a lot of people record vocals without using a drum track or metronome. So, when they tell you the bpm is 120, it could be literally anything. When you try to drop the vox in a track, very seldom does it work. In your case, it seems the vocals were probably recorded in a tempo that is close to the 128bpm of your backing track, but not close enough.

Anyway, not trying to beat a dead horse to death, but think about either doing what Ultrabase suggested or get rid of the vox entirely. Then give your track a listen and see if it doesn't sound a whole lot better.

Bear

edzwood replied 8th Nov 2012 - 13 years ago

Thanks Bear.
Yeh I expect you are right, but I thought since I used ACID that I could beatmap the tracks and make them sync. but... either I did it wrong or I'm trying to do something that's not possible. I'm thinking it's my lack of skill in beatmaping.
Hey have a great day!

on Journey Home by LoopnFLlover

Since this is a genre I normally don't listen to, I have no critical thinking to add. However, as a lover of music I can say this was really enjoyable - a great combination of synths and pads. I had the volume cranked up so the neighbors could enjoy it as well, haha.

Outstanding effort. You should be proud of this one.

Bear

LoopnFLlover replied 15th Nov 2012 - 13 years ago

Thank you for your kind words and taking the time to listen to a genre you aren't partial to. I appreciate the review.

on hanksSong by bbedford48

Now this is nice.....like the others it brings back such great memories. I love the fact that you aren't "hiding" behind a bunch of special effects or distortion....you are letting that guitar do what it is supposed to do.

Absolutely a masterpiece and a lesson in great music. Like Ed, I'd have to give this one a 10 out of 10. Well done Bob.

Bear

bbedford48 replied 5th Nov 2012 - 13 years ago

Many thanks for listening Bear, I enjoyed making it.

take care

on Billas rift by mickey1160

Nicely done Mickey. This has a Harold Faltermeyer feel to it and that is a good thing (he's one of my favorites). I'll keep checking back in the hopes someone adds some vocals to it.

Outstanding effort.

Bear

mickey1160 replied 7th Nov 2012 - 13 years ago

Thanks Bear, my grown up kids tell me this is where l should be heading with my music, trust them to be honest..lol l tell them l would if l could get the band back together..... Blues Brothers. what a film. l will checkout Harold Faltermeyer. I've heard the name before and looking forward to hearing the music.. thanks Bear. mickey

on Les Plaisanciers by janis71

Very, very impressive work. You have really nice control on your vocals, great pitch, and a commercial sound that most record companies would love to have on their roster. Almost an Annie Lennox/Amy Lee quality to your voice.

Beautiful work and I too, love the fact that you recorded your vocals in your native tongue. My friend Dan (VickyDan of Looperman) would approve :)

I look forward to more of your work. Welcome to Looperman and count me as a fan.

Bear

janis71 replied 5th Nov 2012 - 13 years ago

Hi Bear and thx for your warm welcome and very kind comment ;)
I surely don't deserve such a comparison with those tremendous female singers !
So long and thank you very very much !
Take care,
Janis

on Oheeoh by edzwood

This one is definitely not my normal type of music, haha, but I have to say I was thoroughly entertained. It was an interesting blend of sounds....a sonic stew of sorts, that was perfect to listen to in the headphones.

I wish I would have had something like this in my younger days, it would have made for a great trip :)

Well done.

Bear

edzwood replied 6th Nov 2012 - 13 years ago

Thanks Bear Yeh it's a purposful stretch a very positive one for me as i have been wanting to do something out of the box. Thanks for taking the time with this; especially knowing it's not your genre of choice.

And don't even get me started about my "younger days"
