Really nice job on this one....it's a fusion of hip hop and rock/metal. It has an epic feel to it. MIM4E has an absolutely wonderful voice. I'm amazed that this is constructed out of loops.....

everything fits so nicely together.

Outstanding effort.

Nicely done. Even though I don't speak your language, it is really clear that you have great timing and flow and a nice quality to your voice. My wife really enjoyed it :)

Well done, really well done.

So, it isn't very often that I'm speechless, but I am right now :)

Your dad was always one of my heroes growing up. I tried to emulate his guitar stylings and have always fallen short. But it's the journey that is important.

He would really appreciate the concept you created with the guitar loops. I've actually had the great privilege to work with the guy who recorded those loops on a couple of songs. He would also approve of what you have done here.

Absolutely flawless in every way imaginable.

WOW!

Bear

Twanna1 replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Thank you again, Bear. You are a mega-talent yourself. I love your music. I acutally have your Looperman number memorized...lol.

As for my father, I miss him so and would have loved for him to hear what I am doing musically. His memory is what keeps me inspired. But I really believe in my heart he is aware.

It is truly a small world you worked with the gentleman who created the guitar solo loops. Here is his site where I got the guitar solo loops:

http://www.playinmusic.com/electric-guitar-loops-jeff-ballew-vol-1-classic-rock-rock-n-roll.html

I found this site before I found Looperman. Another great resource.

You have a wonderful week:)

on Broken Promises by Twanna1

Since I'm already here at your place :) I decided to stay and listen for a while.

I'm sure glad I did.

What an amazing collaboration. Three of my most favorite artists all together to produce an amazing song. This is as good as it gets.

This one is radio ready.

FABULOUS!!!!!!

Bear

Twanna1 replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Thank you Bear...It was an awesome experience to have worked with these two. It was all about the music. No "headiness" no egos...just music.

I had a blast:)

Much appreciation,

on Elizabeth by Twanna1

This was one solid goose bump from start to finish....you are so talented.

Your voice is remarkable, but your skills as a composer and producer are on the same level as your voice.

I just don't have the appropriate adjectives for what you have created here, so instead of trying to find the right ones....

I'll just stand and applaud.

What a marvelous tribute to someone who must be an amazing woman.
Beautiful work, and one I had to add to favorites.

Bear

Twanna1 replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

on Angel in the ground Malumix ft Tacatta and Eshar by Kikajon

Well, it is easy to see why Malu is one of the best around when it comes to mixing and mastering. This is fabulous and definitely a song that Pink Floyd, or any band, would be proud of.

The vox at the 1:15 mark are a stroke of genius.

Hell, the whole track is genius.

Straight to favorites - \m/ \m/

Bear

Kikajon replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Thanks Bear. Malu made a big differnce with his skills and I am really pleased with the result. Jim's voice is so right for this one, finding Eshars pella was a fortunate thing.

This is pretty special right now. After you add the other two to the mix it is going to be amazing. Great guitar work as usual. Nicely mixed. A great start to what I know will be an amazing track.

Well done.

on The Hunt For Red October-New Single by joshthedjentleman

Had to listen to another before I head off for a bit....and I'm glad I did. Great instrumental, and I can imagine the track with vocals will be even better.

I think John was right when he said this one has cinematic elements in it as well as metal.....

another outstanding track. Well done.

This is fantastic.

I mean radio ready professional fantastic. Great use of XSITION's vox, and your composition is just flawless.

You have mad skills, but I think you already knew that :)

Seriously, one of the best tracks I've heard in a while. Off to favorites with this one.

Well done.

Bear

Brent88 replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Hey, my good friend Bear! Nothing brightens my day more then reviews like this :) I'm glad you enjoyed this one, I had a lot of fun making it. It was one of those rare occasions when your writing and things just kinda fall in place the way you want them too haha. Big thanks to XSITION for his awesome contribution!
Take care, Brent

on I Need Girls (Xavier Qanta remix) by sigmamanone

The first mistake I made was listening to this one right before retiring for bed, hahaha. But that's the only mistake. Like Sean said, this is a really solid effort. Great vocals, perfect instrumentals....just a great track. You should be proud of this one.

Outstanding effort.

Bear

sigmamanone replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Thanks, dude! I had the backingtrack in my head when I proposed a producer to help me out with this song. The best he and I could achieve was the original version of the song (which is also on looperman) I wasn't satisfied so I asked a friend to make a remix! And he made this and I thought: "This is what I wanted!" Magic! :-p

on Lance Johnson the Surfer by Planetjazzbass

Hey Dave,

You always create such "visual" music, and that's a good thing. You have this innate ability to paint such wonderful pictures with your music....that's probably the artist in you coming through in a different medium. Your bass guitar work is always so good.

I remember this tune from my earlier times on the Loop. It's just as good now as it was then :)

One of the best 4 minutes and 24 seconds I've spent in a long time.

Outstanding job.

Bear

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Hey Bear...man I even forgot I made this track!lol...I used to love surfing and all the beach voodoo type guitar riffs..but above all,I'm glad that your back on the loop!..to stay! lol..cheers mate Dave :)

There is nothing better when remixing a track of Spivkurl and getting his stamp of approval :) It is easy to see why he was happy with this one. Great glitch elements and as always, your mixes are spot on.

This is a great combination of styles and one of the best remixes I've heard in a while.

Well done PBJ.

Well done Alen. Really well done.

on The Diva and the Shaman by Sukuta

Eric, this is simply a wonderful auditory tapestry you have woven for us. As has been said before, the mix is flawless. I think what sets your music apart from others is your incredible attention to detail....

that and your genius.

This one is special, and perhaps that is why you are having difficulty naming it. I like ModusII's reference to rumination....perhaps something along those lines for a title.

No matter, I will make this one a favorite so I can enjoy it again and again.

Bravo.

on Jazzy Guitar by LarzCreative

Man I loved this one especially when the bass dropped at the 1:10 mark. And I'm loving the flute as well. It is really difficult to remember you work with loops. All of your tracks sound like you play everything....and that's a good thing.

Another track that is just as smooth as silk. The only thing this one could use is Slap Johnson on a little sax. Maybe a possible collab for you in the future. Until then, I'll enjoy it just like it is.

Well done young Jedi :)

LarzCreative replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

I think this shows you are more than finding your way musically, you are blazing new trails. I've listened to a lot of ambient music in my life, and this one is as good as I've heard. The mix is absolutely flawless. I know when a musical piece takes me to places I've never been, the artist has done his job.

You have done your job really, really well. Straight to the favorites with this one.

Thanks for sharing this amazing piece of art.

Hey Tim, another fantastic piece. Like Michael said, you have completely mastered the Jamman and this piece proves that. Did you play the bass on this one as well? Man, I do love your guitar work. Beautiful technique and tone. Fabulous listen. Straight to faves with this one.

Outstanding in every aspect!

Bear - thanks again for listening and your uplifting thoughts - the drums and bass were from a pre-set on the machine (i wish i could play bass like that) Tim
