on The chase by fixxxer

@bcway, great review, haha.

I have to agree with him. I'm glad I listened to this one during the day, and not late at night. This has tremendous cinematic value. This is one of those tracks that I can actually visualize the movie scene just by the music....and that isn't an easy thing to accomplish.

This inspires me to finish one of my own cinematic pieces. Outstanding effort here and I love the mix on it.

on Fluid Motion by LarzCreative

I was hoping someone could use that loop of mine, and I'm thrilled it was you. Man, you are the absolute king of chill, seriously.

What a great way to start the day. This is absolutely flawless, from a compositional standpoint to the production.

Definitely one for my IPod. If you could send me a copy of this one I would be forever in your debt. Wonderful Henrik.

Faved for sure.

Bear

LarzCreative replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Thank you Sir! I know I'm doing a good job with compliments like that coming from you! ;-) I was messing around with these loops for a while. I was stoked when I found the loop from Jorge. I was able to complete the track!

Thanks!
Henrik

on Demo by EmmaDiva

Wow, wow, and wow again. What a wonderful voice. You have major skills young lady. I just wish I worked in those genres. There are a lot of great dance/house producers on the Loop that will beating your door down for a chance to work with you, haha.

Welcome to the Loop. I'm really looking forward to hearing more of your work.

on blue cactus by gedders

So, I am out here in the middle of the desert, enjoying my first cup of coffee of the day...it's about 68 degrees, no wind......

and with this tune playing in the background, well, it just doesn't get much better than this.

Outstanding work. You more than did justice to that loop. You took it to a whole new wonderful place.

Straight to favorites and thanks for the kind shoutout. Well done.

on Stay by TraXnCtrl

I thought I saw you had a new one up :)

Good news, you did!!

A visit to your page is always a lesson in production and clarity, and this track is no exception. Fabulous work. Had my old bones rocking and rolling, hahaha, and that's a lot of rocking and rolling.

Outstanding effort. Hope all is well.

Bear

TraXnCtrl replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

thanks Bear....I hope you had a good Easter and all is well

on Strong Like Squirrel by Spivkurl

I have to agree with Wayne. The longer the one went, the more fun it became...almost like some great auditory roller coaster ride. Terrific work, but that is no surprise.

This is a wonderful listen. And for the record, I think squirrels are cool :)

Bear

Spivkurl replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Thanks so much for your kind comments! I'm really glad you liked this song! I like squirrels too! I appreciate the review!

ShortBusMusic 27th Apr 2011 19:59 - 15 years ago

on World Traveler by LarzCreative

You are rapidly becoming the king of chill. Like Nuada, I loved that vocoder sound you have through the middle section...gives it almost an RnB feel.

Wonderful job on this one. Definitely had to add it to favorites :) Another masterpiece.

Well done.

Bear

LarzCreative replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Thank you very much Bear! Thanks for making this track possible! The vocoder sound is an ambient guitar by Nightingale. Adds a nice accent to the track.

ShortBusMusic 24th Apr 2011 17:34 - 15 years ago

on You by LenaLannergren

Wonderful!!! I love the chord progressions in this one. The mix is really nice, but what sets this apart is your marvelous vocal work. You really are gifted. Thanks for sharing your talents with all of us.

Straight to favorites.

Bear

LenaLannergren replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Hi Bear! What a review - thank you! So many kind words... I think I'll print it and hang it on the wall :) *happy*
Warm regards from a finally snowfree Sweden!

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.

Bear

n0mad23 replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

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.

Bear

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 - 2027 years ago

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.

Bear

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.

Bear

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 - 2027 years ago

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 - 2027 years ago

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 - 2027 years ago

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

ShortBusMusic 20th Apr 2011 16:47 - 15 years ago

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 - 2027 years ago

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 - 2027 years ago

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

Brent

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 - 2027 years ago

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 - 2027 years ago

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 - 15 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 - 15 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 - 2027 years ago

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 - 15 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 - 2027 years ago

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 - 15 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 - 2027 years ago

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!
