Really nice song. Love the chord progression on the song. The vocals are good too.
A little advice on the vocals. You have a good voice, but you seem like you may be holding back a bit (maybe you worry about bothering the neighbors). My advice would be to sing this like you would sing it driving in your car. In other words, if you had this song playing on the radio and you were singing along to it while driving down the road....sing it like that when you record. I think you will surprise yourself.
You have mad raw talent, and it's time to take it to the next level. The heck with the neighbors ;)
Really, really nice. Outstanding flow on the lyrics and Yesh always has the best beats on the planet. I also think you should be rich by now and I could drive you around the country in the Bus :) I loved this. Wish it was a little longer, but I'm greedy that way.
thank you. im not concern with the riches though. i do this for fun, but if it comes my way i wont turn it down lol. the longer version is in the making. just have to finish writing up the lyrics for the second verse, and a friend of mine wants to add a third verse to it. he's pretty new at the whole music thing but he's getting better. so yeah. hopefully it will come out as dope as i want it to. ty for the review
I am so deeply flattered by your comments. They actually brought a tear to my eye. I am so grateful to be able to share my work with you all and have it appreciated the way it is. I just started singing so who knows what the future will bring. All of my tracks are done using loops and not construction kits...I mix and match. I used to want to DJ when I was younger so I have a good ear for where things go and what types of beats go with what. As far as radio play, I'm being played on Jango...but that doesn't count...lol :) Thank you again and I'd love to work with you if you have something you'd like to collaborate on.
I'm not sure which I enjoy more, your music or your track descriptions. Both are marvelous and both are an educational opportunity.
This one had to be difficult to mix with so much going on, yet it is crystal clear and everything is just so well placed.
You just keep getting better and better. I believe that is because you constantly look for more - you are a real student of this thing called music. When you discover something, you are more than happy to wrap it up with a bow and share it with all of us - with your descriptions and your music.
You are a treasure my friend. Thanks for all you do, and for this magnificent song. Straight to favorites.
I suspect you like my stuff because like you I come at this from a tradition of beating on skins, plucking skins, and blowing across holes in wood. Olde Skool Jamming. I wish I'd known about this site and you when I was still in Arizona, as I think you'd be a blast to sit down and jam with! Thanks for the kind review, and shoot me an email with your address if you'd like any of my stuff for your collection! Thanks Bear!
Hey my friend, I love what you did with that loop :) Great stuff. Very nice mystery on this one, very suspenseful. Love the pads and your dynamics are spot on. The subtle strings at the 3:25 mark were a stroke of genius.
Nicely done. This is definitely a keeper. Not sure why over half the people who listened downloaded it, but only 3 commented. Come on people, if you like it enough to download, at least drop a thank you.
Haha thank you very very much! Ive been using a lot of your loops but cant remember exactly which ones are yours lol! I appriciate the review, and im glad you liked the strings. I was fairly fonf of that myself. Glad you think more should comment, I feel the same way. Ha.
Man, is there anything you can't do? You know, if all hip hop was like this, they would corner the market and pretty much eliminate the rest of the competition. Hopefully the peeps will take notice and figure out that all they need to make great hip hop is a GREAT GUITAR player....
Man, I think I'll sell my equipment, haha. Maybe just give it to you so it can be played instead of abused.
This is seriously so good. Faved and I have to download it for my Bilbozo folder on my IPod.
You simply rule my friend. That's all there is to it.
Another outstanding effort here. Great instrumentation. One can tell you have been at this for a while. Outstanding vocal work as well - the Jackson Browne reference is right on the money.
Professional mix and master.
Pretty much flawless from start to finish. A must add for the favorites :) I really look forward to more from you in the near future.
Nice job, sounds a bit like Stevie Nicks in places. Great instrumentation. It's not easy to work with acapellas (timing, pitch, etc.) but you managed to make this one feel like you were there when she recorded the vocals.
Top notch work from the instruments to the production.
Wow, Steve this is exceptional. Looks like you have more than figured out Logic. The mix on this one is really nice. Seems like you have everything sitting right where it is supposed to be.
My compliments to Alexander, he just keeps getting better and better (and I didn't think that was possible). Loved your harp work by the way, outstanding!
This track is a 10, but all your work is flawless. The title to this one is great :)
Hope you and the family are well. Thanks for posting this one. Straight to favorites.
Hi Bear, thanks for dropping by and lending this one your ears. Alexander is now studying jazz sax & piano in Manchester and WOW his playing has just kept lifting higher & higher. I hope all is well at your end and it's great to have you back here brightening the place up.
Thanks man,...Ive been good. Actually, haven't been better. Glad to see you back around man.
Eh,...review to download ratio is no biggie. Hopefully those people are working on the track or listening to it in the shower or something lol. As long as they hear it and like it im cool with that.
I try to sing hehe. Probably sounds more like dying animals. Last track on the second page is a rock track I played guitar and bass and sang on.
Check it out at your own risk.
This is a master's class in everything from great guitar work to production. So many superlatives come to mind, but none of them seem worthy of a track this good, so all I can do is stand and applaud this effort.
The change around the 3:30 mark is freaking magical. That guitar tone.....wow. Shades of David Gilmour.
The bass is just terrific. I play bass, so I just love the way it stands out on this track.
I love the way you have taken the samples and made them entirely your own. That little flute (at least I think it sounds like a flute) riff you have in there is just stellar.
I would believe the rappers on this site should be coming out of the woodwork to jump all over this one. Even if they don't, this one stands entirely on its own.
Absolutely fire my friend. Beautiful work!!! This is flawless. Added to favs in record time. Bravo.
Sean, like Dave, I wouldn't know Dubstep if it jumped up and bit me on the azz, haha, but I like this one. What I really like is all of the sounds are made by you (excluding vox) and that's pretty cool. It means you are becoming a musician as well as a producer.
The mix sounds really good, everything sitting nicely. That's quite an accomplishment, especially when you have to deal with a lot of bass. All in all, I would say this is a job very well done.
DAMMMMM bro, you are amazing. It's beyond me how you can take 12 seconds of a loop and turn it into a masterpiece. I guess they call that talent, and you have loads of it.
Someone needs to jump all over this one.
Straight up, awesome work. I should turn all of my files over to you, haha. Great job brother. Keep making the hits.
Thanks Bear...means a lot coming from another old school dude. I made this on an Axiom 25 midi controller...there are only 25 keys on it and I was dying to "go deep"...lol! Thanks for the kind words fam!

on And Now by DJSchmeeJ
1 - The track is going to sound like it was recorded in a studio.
2 - The mix will be perfect.
3 - The song will be spot on no matter what the genre.
4 - The song will be entertaining from start to finish.
You did not disappoint on this one. You nailed it. All it needed was James Brown or Maurice White jumping on board.
Well done, Ken. Absolute perfection.

Really good. Bordering on exceptional. First off, I'm impressed that you were able to put all of this together out of loops.
Your voice is special. You have great control, and a warm tonal quality....like you are wrapping your listeners in a warm blanket with your voice.
Great mix. You really have great pitch as well. Why are you on the Loop and not on the radio????
It would be an honor to work with you someday....if I can find any material that is a high enough standard to match your talent.
Faved, faved, and faved.

However, you are different and I like different. The intro was just sick, hahaha. Just about spit my drink all over the place, ahaha.
Great flow, great lyrics, and I really like the stripped down beat. There's plenty of room to hear the lyrics, which is why we listen :)
Got to give it to you my friend. Great track. Keep doing it your way.

Thanks yall.

Well done, really well done.
