on Babylon Crackers - Roll and Tumble by n0mad23

I'm glad you shared this one. It captured the essence of the early days of the blues.

I'm not sure where music would be today had guys like Robert Johnson, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Leadbelly, Charlie Patton, and many other greats, decided to do something else for a living.

This is a phenomenal listen. I just hope the folks on Looperman can appreciate how good this really is.

Well done Sean. Again, I'm glad you put this one up. It is special.

Pearls before swine, aye? Yeah, the old blues pioneers left a legacy, didn't they? In my own investigations, the real surprise is the hidden histories - for example, there's a lot of incidental evidence that what the Blues developed out of was both W. African and Celtic music in the Caribbean (Cromwell sold Irish women into slavery there). Listening closely, I think the traces of both can still be heard. Really glad you like this one, and took the time to review it. Thanks!

on Saying Goodbye (Dirty guts remix) by fixxxer

I love the "live" feel of this one, sounds almost like it was recorded in an arena. You also used probably one of my favorite chord progressions.

I think she would love this one.

If is isn't cranked to 11, you aren't trying hard enough :)

Great work.

on Music man ft Tacatta 4 track challenge by Kikajon

I think ZZ Top proved a long time ago that you don't need some big band to pull off great rock and roll. This track proves that point once again. Outstanding track. It has all of the essentials, great bass, great guitar, great vox, great drums, and a great mix.

Wonderful effort.

Bear

Kikajon replied Unknown

Thanks Bear, I'm glad you like it. The tune just came to me and Jim was exited and came up with the words and vocals in a blink. I appreciate your kind words and will pass them on to Jim.

on Rotten Salsa V2 by alividlife

Now this is exceptional....and amazing that it is only 4 tracks.

I'm blown away by this one. I thought it might be fun to put something over it, but then again I think, "Why screw it up?"

It's perfect like it is.

Yet I'm compelled to see if I can add anything. So, I'll download it and if nothing else, marvel at your creativity.

on No better dream ft Mhyst (Caveman 4 track edit) by fixxxer

Nicely done Fixxxer. This was like sitting in on a live jazz/fusion performance.

And I thoroughly enjoyed my listen :)

Well done.

on Anak Pisang - Shadow Dancing by n0mad23

Sean, this is fabulous. I think Jamie hit the nail on the head when he said this sounded like one of the Dead's jams. I had the pleasure of sitting in on one them and I've never forgotten it. It's amazing just how good live performances can be. Definitely added to favorites :) Thanks for sharing this gem.

Bear

n0mad23 replied Unknown

Jammed with the Dead? I'm constantly astounded with how small the World has become. Back before the Anak Pisang (and previous Spirit House music), my spouse and I used to open for various bands in Seattle doing didgeridoo duets together, and I got a call one night by a guy visiting town and wanting to hire us to play for him while he recited poetry. Turned out to be Ira Cohen, the youngest of the Beats. Had a tough time with that performance, as most of his poetry had to do with hashish and Greek styled homoerotica, and I kept wanting to giggle while playing the didg. I bet jamming with the Dead was easier! Glad you enjoyed this one!

on Remember When by Brent88

Brent, you have mad skills my friend. You are really a superb composer and musician. It is obvious you have a great understanding of many different genres.

This is really nice work. Probably one of the most enjoyable listens I've had in a while. Straight to favorites :)

Bear

Brent88 replied Unknown

Thank you Bear, I appreciate you listening! I had a lot of fun making this song, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
All the best my friend :)

on Schizophrenia (caveman 4 track challenge) by StephenPotter

Nice job Stephen, this is what I would call a minimalist approach to dub and I think it shows in this case, that less is more. Really nice and the mix is flawless. I've found that sometimes my most difficult mixes are the ones where I only have one of two tracks. My only complaint is I wish it were another 3 or 4 minutes in length :)

Well done.

Bear

StephenPotter replied Unknown

I kinda struggle to make long things using only a small amount of sounds.. like, I get inspired to create a melody around a specific sound, and I find it so much harder to get that melody without that sound. Its strange, it's like the sound has to fit with the others or I can't make it. Thats partially why I'm fairly proud of this track, because the bass just contrasts with everything else.

I geuss with less sounds you get to focus on more things. Less choice means you can keep your ears on specific things, being able to detect the good and bad points just like that. Maybe thats why its so difficult for many people to do acoustic stuff.

Anyways, thanks for dropping by, I'll check out your one tommorow when I have acess to my speakers (its 11pm, don't wanna wake anyone up, lol)

Ste :)

on Loose Ships Sinking Lips by alividlife

There are days when I wish I was back using my old reel to reel to record.....but they call this digital stuff progress....

meh, this tune proves how good the old ways were, and just how good music could sound.

Beautiful work my friend, absolutely beautiful.

Bear

on A Good Day by LarzCreative

Wow bro, what a great mix on this one. You are rapidly becoming the Quincy Jones of Looperman. In ten years you just might be a Grammy award winner :)

Another wonderful creation, and one I have to add to favorites.

Bear

LarzCreative replied Unknown

I don't know about the Grammy award thing but I'll take it. ;-) Appreciate the comments! I like this one a lot! Has a lot of energy and very uplifting. I think Abe's beat really gels well with the elements.

Thanks again Bear!

on Classical guitar track by Brent88

It refreshing to hear someone who is not only interested in creating classical music, but has the skill sets to pull it off. This is really well done and something you should be very proud of. I could hear someone like Leo Kotke or Tommy Emmanuel playing this piece. Beautiful work.

Bear

Brent88 replied Unknown

Thank you Bear, I'm glad you enjoyed the piece! Leo Kottke is one of the reasons i bought my first acoustic guitar, I really appreciate your kind words

on Thai Girls fake it by Planetjazzbass

Oh my, Dave you have officially gone over to the dark side, hahaha. This is outstanding. If Pink Floyd put together hip hop beats, this is what they would sound like. Terrific mix, and Dolawhite is one of a kind. Man, I think you guys have created funk/fusion/hip hop. Best track I've heard in the past week.

Definitely added to favorites. Now that you have dipped your toe in the pool, you just might be inundated with requests for collaborations and personal messages asking for beats :)

Outstanding effort and my hat is off to two of my favorite peeps.

Bear

PS, I love the title to this track. But it ain't just Thai girls who fake it, hahahaha.

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown

Hehe..and I have to put up with wearing this big German type helmet and gas mask whenever I go outside!...well at least dressing is easy everything's black! lol..thanks for the thumbs up Bear...you old homie you!..cheers Dave :)

on A Tale Of Misfortune by Steinaa

Oh man, this is so good.....I swear I am going to lobby Looperman to give you another 50 slots for more tracks from you. It would be a crying shame to delete anything you have posted, but I crave more, haha.

This one is perfect, absolutely perfect. I hit the favorite button in 2 seconds, hahaha.

FABULOUS!!!!!!

Bear

Steinaa replied Unknown

Hey ShortBus!
50 more slots would be so awesome! Then I wouldnt have to delete a song everytime I finish a new one, haha. Thank you so much for an amazing review buddy - this is what makes me wanna post more songs..! Awesome review man, awesome.. I really, really appreciate your words! Thanks a bunch!

ShortBusMusic 19th Apr 2011 03:15 - 14 years ago

on OnlyOne by bbelle

Another nice effort. This one has a nice build to it. Very nice mix with the elements sitting right where they are supposed to be. I am surprised some of the RnB singers on this site haven't jumped on this one yet....

maybe they just haven't heard it yet.

Great job and a stellar track.

Bear

ShortBusMusic 19th Apr 2011 03:12 - 14 years ago

on Oliver by bbelle

This is one hell of a good start to what could be an exceptional track. I'd say you could use this as the verse, so all you need now is a chorus and bridge. Don't give up on this one. Dust it off, look for inspiration, and finish it off.

Probably the best 38 seconds I've had in a few days :)

Bear

bbelle replied Unknown

Thank you for your comment. I wish I could finish it but these days I can't seem to get inspired to finish anything.

ShortBusMusic 17th Apr 2011 16:06 - 14 years ago

on Malfunction by Upright

Nicely chilled. What a great way to start my day....just wish it was about 4 minutes longer, haha. If the rest of this ends up being this chilled, you just might have a hit on your hands. I really like the synth you added and it's got a great beat on it. Let me know when you get it finished and I'll head back over for another listen.

Great work so far!!!

Bear

Upright replied Unknown

They thanks Bear :)

You captured a great mood with the chord progression in that loop! I do want to add a bassline, and a few other sections...needs a touch of mixing work in the high range. I'll keep you posted!

ShortBusMusic 16th Apr 2011 01:38 - 14 years ago

on rEvolution - The Ancestral Taunts by n0mad23

Yes, I have to agree with John, if this is dub, then sign me up. I also agree with you with the use of tags instead of genres. This is outstanding, but all of your work is, so that is no surprise. Absolutely a perfect job to this point. I'm not sure what else you can do to it, but you never disappoint.

You really have a way of constructing great percussion. Freaking genius!!!!!!!!

Off to favorites with this one.

n0mad23 replied Unknown

I got the critique/review I've been waiting for via email, so the next version will really undertake some major revisions. Going to try redoing both the beginning and end of this, and change the break a bit, too. I think it'll be equally groovy, but a bit more "powerful" by the time we're both satisfied with it. Thanks for the encouragement, as well as for the brilliant loops that made much of this possible. But using your loops and Planetjazzbass loops, how could we possibly go wrong? Thanks for the fave. Feeling really good about that thumbs up!

on Substance Abuse part2 by 67Ecosse

Hey Craig,

As I told you in the email, this really is a great remix. You thought of many angles I missed, thus making this one much better than the original. Now, combining what you have created with Nuada could really be interesting :)

This is a stellar effort. You can remix anything of mine whenever you want, haha. It would be a pleasure to hear what you could come up with.

Thanks for dusting this one off and taking it to another level. Well done.

Bear

67Ecosse replied Unknown

Thanks Bear, I really enjoyed working on this track...can't wait to hear nuada's part on this...

as mentioned to nuada I'd would be seriously honored to work with you both on any collabs....bring 'em on!!

ShortBusMusic 10th Apr 2011 16:34 - 14 years ago

on You and I by Brent88

Wow, this is stellar work. Great chord progression, great melody, great dynamics and the mix is just about flawless. The change at the 1:15 mark was one of those "goose bump" moments......sheer genius.

This is as good as it gets. Absolutely top notch work and I had to fave this one.

Bear

Brent88 replied Unknown

Glad you enjoyed the track Bear! i'm definitely a fan of your work and i appreciate the feedback!
All the best

on Jungle Urbaine by Valii

Very, very smooth. Great vocal delivery and I like the effects you've put on the vox as well. Great mix. Song has almost a 007 feel to it, really epic.

Great work sir. Nicely done.

Bear

Valii replied Unknown

Thanks my friend.

I like your work me too.

Would you know work on my acapella " Je descends dans la discotheque"? English title is I go down the disco.

ShortBusMusic 7th Apr 2011 07:42 - 14 years ago

on untitled by nacole

Smooth as silk. Love that piano, it is fabulous. I would love to hear your vocals a bit more forward in the mix because you have a wonderful voice. Other than that, this is flawless work.

Bravo young lady.

Bear

ShortBusMusic 7th Apr 2011 07:36 - 14 years ago

on Taking A Second To Breath by YoungWisdom

Hey my friend, really nice job on this one. You have done a masterful job composing around the two different loops, not an easy thing to do. Great percussion on this track as well as a really nice mix and master.

I can imagine you will have several people asking if they can add vocals to this. It will interesting to see what happens. Again, great job.

Bear

ShortBusMusic 7th Apr 2011 05:49 - 14 years ago

on We are in Love (DeepProg mix) by Daniboi

I've spent some time on ccMixter and I've heard a few songs using this pella, but I have to say, your interpretation is the best I've heard. Stellar instrumentation and your mix is just about flawless.

Outstanding effort DB. One of the best I've heard in a while. The bass is an 11/10. Great work.

Bear

Daniboi replied Unknown

Thank u o so vry much! Cant wait 2 hear ur beat again wen u put e finishing touches on your beat man, e intro z amazing!!!

Peace!!

on Masterpiece by Twanna1

After listening to your other song, I had to have at least one more listen, and I am just amazed at your gift.

I'm trying to figure out who you may sound like...all of the greats come to mind, but I believe you have your own distinct sound and it is incredible.

Another reviewer wondered why you are on Looperman? I concur, but I am also thankful that you have decided to be part of this community.

Another beautiful effort, and another added to my favorites.

Bear

Twanna1 replied Unknown

Again, I am humbled by your kind words of appreciation.

Thank you again Bear.

Blessings,

Twanna

on My Lament by Twanna1

So, at this stage of my life there isn't a lot that leaves me speechless....

but this track has done exactly that. I'm seriously at a loss for words to describe this.

So I hope my standing and giving you a few minutes of applause will suffice.

WOW!!!!!!!

I had to download this one. Thank you for your generosity :)

Bear

Twanna1 replied Unknown

Thank you Bear for you very kind words and appreciation. Creating music has always been an outlet for me to convey where I am at that time. I love your mantra "I only have one life, so what you see is what you get." That would have been a great one for my father to live by.

Thank you again.

Twanna
