Wow this track still gives me chills, and thanks to you and Ciko I wrote a spoken word piece because of it. I don't know if you remember? Anyway, I am now going to upload it for others to use if they want. I'll drop the link later just in case you want to use it too, although I love this instrumental.
Where the hell is Ciko these days?
heyyy Eshar...
i had a listen and i must say the lyrics came out perfectly... got chills myself!!!
and also had another listen to this track, it's been a while since i have heard it... so thanks :) brought back memories....
one in which would be ciko LOL.. yeah havent heard from him in a while now... must be almost a year... hope he is doing ok though...
thanks again Elaine... loved it, and glad this piece spoke to you :)
Now my turn to go "ooo" lol, I'm really digging that bass you've used it's a perfect contrast to the lighter tinkly piano.
I guess I would like to hear some vocals on the track, but the lack of them doesn't detract from this being a pretty decent instrumental.
yea, been there for almost a year and no one has put vocals to it. guess that means ill have to find an acapella to put on it. thanks for the review miss sharp, glad you enjoyed it.
A really really nice track. I think I would describe it as RnB more so than pop, but of course there's no doubt that this would be a song that would be popular and get some airplay. A good collaboration as XSITION is an excellent vocalist and your instrumental has a really chilled and mellow vibe that works well with his voice.
Thank you Elaine :) funny you say that, i was initially trying to make an RnB song and then i felt like the sound was gettin a little 'poppy'. But i think i'm gonna swap the genre now that you mention it, RnB is more so my area of interest. Thanks again for the review!
I'm loving the sound of that electronic synth bass. I am a bass freak. The use of the pads creates a very ethereal vibe to the track.
I hope more people stop by your page and listen to your work. You have a natural arranging ability it seems to me.
Thanks - glad my ears are still working - shoot after those all those years in Orchestra - I better have a good understanding of music. Everyone on my Father's side of the family plays something - or everything - hahaha. People used to come from all over the neighborhood to listen to the family band which grew with other people who could play. the living room was like 30 by 17 or something with a bay window where the drums were and my father on keyboards on the opposite side of the room on the right side all strings Cello Bass violin guitars jew harps and the left was for the winds - sax trumpet flutes trumbone, frenchhorn, harmonica. my sisters and brother were little they did the tams and claps or wood - hahahaa... in short - I think i picked up a few things - hahaha
Awesome, just kind of thing that I like. I have to agree with Nuada about the blending of styles, and I can understand why you chose Fusion as the genre. This particular piece definitely has some funky and jazzy undertones as well as the Latin and orchestral. I like how it keeps moving and flowing constantly and the transitions are really well executed.
Thank you Elaine very much - I'd done this track earlier in the year when i got a prog. I fell in love - i took a couple days putting this together. My niece helped me by played some of this on her piano. IN FL I can create anything I want so I was following her by ear (not easy)...I banged out a little on the drums and recorded. it was hard to clean up because it was a fun day and we were just messing around and then I worked something out of it. My niece says its the favorite of hers of all the songs I'd done that she'd heard. VEry happy to read your review of the sample from that piece - thank you very much :D
Dola creases me up. I think he probably could give Eminem a run for his money.
I would love to know the story of how you two came to collab.
Your instrumentation is fantastic and in places reminds me of some George Martin inspired Beatles.
An unexpected collab to an extent, but one that works really well.
Hi Elaine..well in actual fact I contacted Dola about a possible collaboration as I'd always found his proto obscenic style almost Dadaist in nature....plus I'd been soaking up all the HH radiation around this place for God knows how long I virtually glowed in the dark..which probably goes to prove the more vociferous a protagonist the closer they are to crossing over..........Nah,I just made all that up! lol cheers Dave :)
I loved the vibe of this piece from the moment I pressed play. I guess there is definitely a strong element of the blues in this piece but I certainly wasn't left feeling blue :)
Thanks for uploading and letting people get an idea. My first thoughts are that I really like the beat...you've used some nice hard kicks.
Your arrangement seems pretty good. I like the fact that it edges towards minimal in the melody stakes because that gives a chance for your vocals to come through more. I kind of disagree with rolla about your vocals competing with beat because I can hear the lyrics pretty well.
I am really disappointed not to see any reviews for this track especially as this site has, or did have a burgeoning dupstep community.
I really like what you've done, I think this is a really tight production. I'm so pleased you could use the vocals and I thank you for doing so.
A fitting song for me to listen to as I've just finished writing a poem about the rain.
I have to smile about the guy on backing vocals remark...but do not worry my voice is getting deeper all the time too...and actually it makes us very versatile as artists.
Hi Elaine!
I think I found the perfect solution: if I can be both the man and the woman... no more problems with love, perfect! ahahahaa...
Thank you for listening... and why not share your poem om Looperman-Facebook, that would be interesting to read :)

Thanks for using some of my vocal loops....I really like this jazzy track that you've made I really enjoyed the arrangement. Jazz and funk are two of my favourite genres.
That sax is amazing and works really well in the track.
Ah wow this is awesome...I love the overdubbing of the vocals and although I may be slightly biased I can't agree with Soligen about this not being a great track because it's spoken word. I would respectfully say he doesn't understand what you've understood when you used this pella that's it's about observation...one woman saying to another "why are you with him?" and I think for that kind of situation spoken word is perfect.
I love the jazzy elements, well I just love the whole vibe of the track.
Thank you so much for using my vocals...:D :D :D
Elaine
Thank you Elaine
In relation to Soligen .... Hear his tracks. (Better not ... lol)
Maybe he does not know With choice of human relationships
or he was never in love .... lol
I like the track, I think you've used some interesting elements, the synths in particular have a nice melodic sound. I'm not sure the bass has enough attitude to reflect the title of the track though...mind you I am a bass freak. On the whole good work.
Thank you much Elaine for the review, always appreciated! Funny what you mentioned about the bass, because I wasn't satisfied with the bass from the start of the track and even after I finished it. I was at a stalemate with how to go about the bass for this track. I'm going to tweak the bass-line tonight at work to see if I can get it to where I had envisioned it. Thanks Again for the review!
Ah makes me think of Telefon Tel Aviv a little bit...especially with the glitch but also there is a real chill vibe to the track too. It's strange cos it doesn't sound like the tempo is 170. I really like that chime sound you've included...airport lounges spring to mind and busy travellers and Naomi Campbell with her entourage in tow...there's a lady who certainly always wants more :)
I like it, its different to the original certainly but you've still maintained core elements.
thanks elaine .... I've been waiting all day for someone to give me an opinion.... and I'm glad the first one is you... thanks for giving me the opportunity to remix sister.. I'll have to send one your way if you hear one you'd like to take a run at let me know... thanks again
A very cool track...I do like me some dubstep even though the genre has started to become "popular" there is still something about it that makes it edgy and different.
Let me know when your EP is out...are you on Soundcloud or Reverbnation?
i'm on reverbnation as rk-ick..yea but around where i live there no electronica sence here (or ever been) so i'm starting one up lol or at least try to
I love this track Simon...I'm glad you uploaded it. It reminds me a little bit of a song I used to hear when I was growing up...so perhaps that one reason why it resonates with me, but also it's just a wonderful arrangement and produced so well.
I love that haunting piano melody. I think you could probably get away without vocals on the track and perhaps add another instrument like strings, but personally I like it as is. Mellow and chilled.
It's a little strange for me to only see 3 tracks on your page, but each one is a real gem.
Ah for some reason this is making my eyes tear up...it is beautiful and it is haunting.
A really nice melody, I liked it a lot and I wrote a few words inspired by your sound.
The crisp morning air takes me by surprise
and I feel the chill on my skin
as I walk slowly with no aim or purpose
towards the city, towards the sunrise.
Thanks for using my vocals and for letting me know.
I like the beat you've made...just listening now is making me think of some more lyrics...If I come up with anything I will let you know. :)
I absolutely love that chilled groove you created. Thank you for including my loops and for letting me hear. You know I love funk so it was a double treat for me :)

Check out DJ Becca. She's into dubstep in a big way these days and may be able to help you out.
