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.

My God man, this is good.

Bravo.

Bear

Very, very nice :) It's got a great rock feel to it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great lyrics to.

Outstanding.

Bear

Oh, man, this is so good.

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.

Bear

Haru, I have to agree with toddj. I really like the simplicity of this one. It is almost like it's "unplugged." Vocals would be awesome on this one.

Nicely done :)

Bear

This is really nice. You just may have landed on a new genre...

Chilled DnB

This one would be outstanding in a movie or video game. It has just enough mystery in it to keep the listener wondering what is next.

Outstanding effort. The mix sounds really nice too, good balance. I'm no expert on DnB, but I like this :)

Bear

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.

Wish it was a tad longer :)

Bear

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.

Bear

This one is really special. I think you put yourself out there (in a good way..no, in a great way), and the emotion of this one is palpable.

I'd say your keyboard work is just about as good as your production skills (and that's pretty freaking awesome).

Your wife had to be happy with this one. It's beautiful.

We both look forward to more movements like this one in the future :)

Well done, really well done.

Bear

This is lovely....

like a peek into your soul.

Thanks for that and for posting this.

It is wonderful - simply, elegantly wonderful.

Bear

I love live recordings....

nothing to hide behind. What you hear, is what you get.

In this instance, what we got was absolute brilliance and the kind of music born of cigarette smoke, gin, and sweat.

Bravo. Absolute genius.

Bear

Wow, this is really, really good.

Your composition skills and production are just flawless. Man, this is so good.

I'm definitely going to have to check out the original, but my friend, this is terrific work. That change at 2:30 is simply bad azz, haha.

Love it, love it, love it.

Bear

Kahzel,

OUTSTANDING!!! What a great combination, you and Martin, unbeatable duo. There is not much to say other than I am putting this on the favorites list.

Really, one hell of a job on this one. Keep it up. You are gonna be a star.

Bear

Bones, what a terrific song this is. Absolutely perfect. Your compositional skills are only exceeded by your production abilities.

Why the hell aren't you famous by now???

Anyway, this is another fabulous track, just a really nice way to unwind in the afternoon after a long day. Thanks for that.

And thanks for sharing my friend.

Bear

Oh man, this is a great song. Great lyrics, with one hell of a professional mix. I had to laugh when it first started...it sounded like a commercial for one of those old rock and roll FM stations we have down here in the Las Vegas area, haha.

Outstanding effort from all involved. This is a 10 for sure.

Bear

Hey Haru, really nice track here. Love the chill feel to it, nice and laid back. Outstanding way to start my day.

Well done!

Bear

Well, I consider this to be great music....

But if you have to classify it, I'd put it in the rock category. I know it was only a one minute snippet, but I would love to hear where you go with it next.

Well done.

Bear

It looks like I'm late to the party. It also looks like this is one of your first songs and it is a pretty good start young Jedi. The timing issues will work themselves out.

Actually, there is a thing in music called "syncopation." A syncopation or syncopated rhythm is any rhythm that puts an emphasis on a beat, or a subdivision of a beat, that is not usually emphasized. A quick search on the Internet should get you a lot of information on syncopation and why it's cool to use in music.

The great thing about all of this is you are only 13, yet you are producing some pretty good music. Just keep at it. I started at the age of 5, and here I am, 53 years later and I'm finally starting to figure it all out (I majored in music and graduated from college with a music degree).

Congratulations on a good start here on the Loop. Just stay with it.

Bear

I've been away for a while, but it seems like I reviewed one of the first tracks you put on this site....man, you were good then, but this is fantastic.

I would also say I picked the right track to come back to. This is nothing short of absolute sensory brilliance. Seriously, one of the best listens I've had in a while.

I see Bill referenced Pink Floyd. I think they would have been honored to have this in their library.

Faved and I hope you have been well.

Bear

You know when I see you have a new track posted, I have to run over to listen.

And I'm glad I did. Great track and it just oozes emotion, and that's the best kind of music. Great instrumentation, and dude, you killed that piano!

Outstanding effort Butcha. I think that special person is going to love it. Props my friend. Well done.

Bear

Iroc, this is really good. If this was set to download, you would have already had 25 people download it. Great chilled beat, and I love that chord progression ;)

Looks like you are two for two on the tracks. I had to add this one to my favorites as well. Great work my friend.

Mad skills. Much respect.

Bear

I have to agree with the others, this is special work. Outstanding composition. If you used all loops for this, you are a genius. If not, you are one hell of a musician. Either way, this is a great track.

Outstanding production as well. I love the balance on this one, and the clarity when the guitars come in. Nice that everything sits so well in the mix.

Much respect Vidmeister.

Bear

Trax, this is so good.....really good.

Man, you just have this genre nailed down. Your production is top notch, beautifully balanced. I haven't heard the original, but I would venture to say this one is just as good if not better.

The bar is set really high with this one. I don't have a lot of trance on my IPod, but I'm adding this one for sure. Downloaded and faved my friend.

Bear

Space, the final frontier....and I'm not talking about Captain Kirk, haha. I'm talking about a great mix that has a bunch of stuff going on but each and every element is set exactly in the mix where clarity rules.

This is absolutely professional in every way. There are mixes on the radio that pale in comparison to this one.

Mad skills, mad mad skills. Well done!! Had to add this one to my favorites folder.

Bear

I have to agree with the others. Absolutely killed this one my friend. Dump the autotune, you don't need it. You have mad skills that will stand any test. Really well done.

Bear

I was intrigued by my first listen to one of your tunes, so I had to sample another.

This is good.

This is really good. I can hear the MJ influence.

Damn, you are a great musician, with a terrific ear for putting the right instruments in the right spots. Love the mix on this one, everything is sitting nicely. Great vocal work (you have good range).

Love the bridge, it's a magical moment. You have mad skills and I'm going to have to add this one to my favorites. Outstanding effort.
