on Euphrates by Planetjazzbass

You know, sometimes trying to find the right adjectives to describe something this good is nothing more than an exercise in futility. In those rare cases where I am speechless, I let my slack jawed, drool covered chin do the talking.

I seriously don't think you are mortal.

I swear that was a goose in there.

At this point, I can only stand and applaud....

and wipe my chin.

on Gravy Train by Planetjazzbass

So, Dave, I do quite a bit of work with a bass player from San Francisco. He asked me who my favorite bass player was and I told him Planetjazzbass. He says "who the hell is he?" So, I sent him off to Looperland to check out your tracks. He came back a fan.

I say all of this because this track is a great example of why your bass work is up there at the top of my list. Man, there is magic in those hands...you do know how to caress Wilma ;)

This whole track is just a wonderful auditory stew my friend, and I enjoyed every last bite. I love gravy, but I love the "Gravy Train" even more.

on insomnia by 67Ecosse

So, I put on the really expensive head phones for this one, and I'm glad I did.

Really nice balance on this, you've got everything sitting really well in the mix. Nice panning, great percussion, just an outstanding effort. The only criticism is the vocal snippet at the 1:43 mark is close to clipping....and there is a slight click from a loop splice at the 3:37 mark...but that's nitpicking the hell out of things, haha. I would have never heard either of those on the $300 headphones ;)

Seriously though, I have to agree with MCHN, the 4 minutes went by too quickly. Well done.

Bear

67Ecosse replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Hi Bear,

thanks for the review...I was quite bummed at the final mix of it when I heard both instances you mentioned...listened to it thru' my headphones - I hear the click.....in some tracks this mysteriously disappears in the mixdown and did in the previous version ...I usually try to mask it by adding another sound when I hear a pop or click and it generally works (total beginner - with no clue)...will try to to it over tonight - any tricks to remove that? work on the that vocal piece....mucho thanks bear...will let you know how it turns out

***uploaded a newer version - much better and removed the click....again it seems the only way to do it was move the vocal over where it clicked????

on We Run The Nite (Tonite Only) Traxnctrl Nite Mix by TraXnCtrl

Bro, another awesome effort from you. The standard over here in your neck of the woods is pretty high, and this track definitely meets those standards. I see you reached the 50 track limit. I think we need to lobby Looperman for another 50 spots so you don't have to remove any tracks just to add another.

I love that "flute" sound, gives it almost an ethnic feel. Awesome.

Great work as usual. Production is just dope :) Bravo Trax.

Bear

TraXnCtrl replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Thanks Bear....at least having to remove tracks keeps the quality higher....funny you should be saying that as I have just remixed one of my own tracks to freshen it up and keep it going.

Thanks for your high praise as it means a lot coming from someone with as much talent as yourself

on Love2Love - Lovemachine by LenaLannergren

I told Martin that you two should go on the road together, first in Europe, and then come to America and take over the country :)

You really have a marvelous voice and the work you do with Martin is fantastic. Thanks for sharing your gifts with all of us.

Remember, if you do tour the US, I have the bus, haha.

Bear

LenaLannergren replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Hi Bear! Sounds great to be on the road, that would be a hole new experience... do I get to smash up hotelrooms as well LOL :D
The voice is what I am born with - Thank YOU for listening! Very grateful for your kind words.
Consider the bus booked ;)

on Test Of Time by minette

Wow, I'm not sure how I missed your work.

But I'm glad I found it. Definitely had to add this one to the favorites. You have mad skills, and a flawless voice.

Beautiful work.

Bear

minette replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

on Caravan for me maw by 67Ecosse

Ah hahaha, another outstanding track my friend. I loved that movie as well. Your maw must be really happy with this one :)

The production is so good, this is just crystal clear. I love a mix that I can hear everything that is going on.

Really, really well done. Faved for sure.

Bear

on Trial and error by proof1

OUTSTANDING Martin!!! Wow, I never figured anyone would take those orchestra loops and turn them into a great hip hop track. I gotta believe some of the rappers out there would love to lay down some vocals on this one.

I look forward to many, many more great tracks from you. By the way, the production is top notch. Definitely putting this one in the faves :)

Thanks for the shout out as well.

Bear

proof1 replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

thank you very much.. you have some beast loops and i do the first thing that comes to mind.. Appreciate the feedback

on SAY U READY Farisha Ft Geo by GEOram

Nicely done! Great vibe on this one, from start to finish this is an absolute winner. I liked the guitar riff....this one is definitely ready for prime time :)

Bear

GEOram replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Yeah that guitar really sets it off it gives it a different identity since you dont hear it to much on any hip hop song...Thanks i really do appreciate the review...thinking about doing an MV to this one..it's fitting the bill and its real catchy...

on The Silent Getaway by Devodale

I think the most impressive thing about you is your ability to navigate any genre, and do it like an expert. There really is something to be said for a lifetime of dedication to a craft, and this track beautifully illustrates that.

What a wonderful listen. Well done!!!

Bear

ShortBusMusic 14th Feb 2011 21:03 - 15 years ago

on Crystal Ball by Devodale

Hey my friend, I stopped by for a piano lesson, and ended up rocking out, haha. What a great track with some absolutely stellar guitar work. Hell, all of it is just top notch. I could hear the Skid Row "influence" but I also thought this one had a bit of "Journey" thrown in for good measure.

No matter, this was an amazing tune. Timeless.

And it proves that good music can transcend eras and genres. If it's good, it's good.

And this one is great!!!!

Bear

on Semillas by Vicen

Vicen, I think I have to concur with the others. This is a great listen. It is mixed well, and I love the guitar work in it. Just a really nice way to start my day :)

Bravo my friend, a wonderful effort. Well done.

Bear

Vicen replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Thanks. I'm glad you liked it. The truth is that it is a song that gave many problems until it sounded like I wanted, so I am very grateful for the comments.

on Digital Aboriginalism - Osmosis and the Veil by n0mad23

So I am back for another pass at this one. I did not realize it was part of a set :) I just finished listening to the other panels and this is just marvelous how you 3 have put all of this together into one comprehensive, cohesive story.

Being the glutton that I am, it would be wonderful to have this trilogy as one long, wonderful track :) Like a giant audio mural painted by 3 different masters.....especially now that I see/hear how all of this is connected (I'm old and slow, so you will have to forgive me).

This one is even better the second time around!

Well done gents.

Bear

n0mad23 replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Hey Bear - thanks for that suggestion on putting them all together as a single track. Changes the whole listening experience! I've had very fortunate collaboration experiences on this site now, and am all ready looking forward to my next excursion. Cheers!

on Action Figures by Avonaco

First, this had to be a beast to mix because of all the elements you have going on.....you have something occupying just about every frequency. Unbelievable how well balanced this is.

I like music that makes me think. This did just that.

I'm intrigued with this project - it certainly has three really talented people working on it.

Well done. I'm off to "view" the next panel of the painting.

Bear

Avonaco replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Actually... it took less time than I had originally thought it would. As far as the music making you think... that's cool. It's layered with so many angles, that everyone is bound to visualize something and/or feel a certain vibe. Thanks for the review and the listen.

Peace

on No Better Dream by Diwey

I loved this, right up until the break at the 1:23 mark when the piano came in.....not sure of that belonging with the rest of the song. But what do I know?

Other than that, a really nice effort.

Bear

Diwey replied 26th Apr 2012 - 14 years ago

I know it's silly to respond to comments after a year .... but rarely used the internet and I have not read everything that was written ... sorry and greet!

on Bored by chris40

Interesting, it has a frenetic pace. It would be good to hear if you could take it somewhere else, maybe slow the tempo down for a while for a verse, then bring it back up for the hook. Nice start.

Bear

ShortBusMusic 13th Feb 2011 01:56 - 15 years ago

on Mista And Mhyst - AWAKENING Unedited by HimNameMista

Simply outstanding. Seriously this is the fusion of great rap and great vocals by Mhyst.

Backing track is just spot on as well. This is really nice work from start to finish. As good as anything I've heard on the radio in a while.

Well done and added to favorites.

Bear

HimNameMista replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

im glad you like it. thanks for the reviews and the fav!

on Here We Go featuring AnomalyJ by TraXnCtrl

Ah, Trax, I came by looking for inspiration and as always, you do not disappoint.

Another genius track. Bass is just sick, panning is just sick, the whole track is just so good........

You rule man. Is there any genre you can't do? Production is flawless as usual. Everything sitting perfect, like the movement on a Rolex.

Outstanding effort, but I expect nothing less than the best from you. Faved.

And thanks for the inspiration :)

Bear

TraXnCtrl replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

thanks Bear....I have some inspiration from you too with your useless offerings.....I might see if I can make something crazy with it!
You will be the first to know if I get it right

on Making of a Legend by Biodegradable

DAIM!!!!! This one needs to come with a warning to watch the subs, hahaha. Man, I've got stuff falling off the walls all over the place, hehe. The wife came out and wanted to know if we were in the middle of an earthquake.

I really like the brass in the middle of this one (the single notes from the 'bone section). Great job with the orchestration.....if you ever decide to get out of hip hop, you could probably score some tracks for orchestra.

Nice work my friend. Really nice work.

Keep making the hits.

Bear

ShortBusMusic 9th Feb 2011 06:22 - 15 years ago

on what the haterz talkin bout by 67Ecosse

Nice job! I like the use of the choir. It kind of lulls the listener into this calm state and then wham, here comes the synth and the beat really drops.

Nice mix too. It had the paintings on the wall rocking, haha. The wife will think I had a party or something.

Outstanding effort.

Bear

ShortBusMusic 7th Feb 2011 04:43 - 15 years ago

on POV by Tacatta

I have to agree, this reminds me of the early days of Kansas, when Lynn Meredith was the lead singer.

Really love the southern rock feel on this one. I didn't even notice the drums missing.....guess that shows the vocals and guitar work were plenty strong enough to carry the song.

And you carried it well. Outstanding effort. Thanks for sharing.

Bear

Tacatta replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Hey thanx a million Bear!Wow I haven't heard the name Lynn Meredeth in a long time!Would love to get my hand on some early Kansas stuff with Lynn,I've heard of him but never heard his vocals.

on Pleamares de la Vida -theHumps Collab by Vicen

This is a wonderful collaboration. I love Wayne's interpretation of music, and it blends so well with your original work.

You two make a dynamic duo. And the title is as good as the song :)

Bear

Vicen replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Oh yes. Wayne is very special, dominates an endless variety of instruments and has a special sensitivity to music. I only asked for help ... he did the rest. Wayne improved it all ... everything. I am very happy with the outcome. Thank you for having heard it, and thanks for your gratifying words.

ShortBusMusic 6th Feb 2011 03:33 - 15 years ago

on Apocalypse by Steinaa

Anytime someone asks me who is the best on Looperman for metal, I send them your direction. You set a very high standard in all that you do. You are also a bit of a visionary and this track shows why.

This is fusion people can sink their teeth into. Massive track from a guy with massive talent.

Faved. And I loved the break at the 1:40 mark...it allowed me to catch my breath, haha.

Fantastic work, FANTASTIC!!!!!!

Bear

on I Dont Know by samkingtheartist

I liked the first track of yours so much, I thought I would stick around for seconds.

I'm sure glad I did.

Are you sure you aren't someone famous????

You should be!

This is fantastic. The mix is just flawless, as are your vocals. You have mad skills and it is obvious you know your way around a mixing board.

Another straight to favorites. Beautiful work.

Bear

ShortBusMusic 6th Feb 2011 00:44 - 15 years ago

on Make Ya Smile by HaruTune

Haro, another great tune, with a superb mix my friend. This one, as your others, is crisp and clear and really well done.

I do like the trumpet you have playing throughout. It gives it the jazz club feel.

I'd say this is fusion at its finest.

Well done.

Bear

HaruTune replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Thanx Bear for the feedback...
