on How much, guitar instrumental by blairrock957
I could maybe do somethin with this. I'm think that I could lay down some vocals (wait, don't everyone run away just yet, haha). It wouldn't be rap or falcetto singin. I'd go all raspy with it.

As for the song, it sounds kinda like Pat Metheny on speed. And I'm lovin the effects ya placed on the Lead. Makes it sound very Spacey or kinda Tubed. Lates!

I never heard of Pat Metnany. Googled him and watched some stuff on Utube. Wow he's phenominal.
Thanks for your kind words and thanks for turning me on to a great guitarist. I watched the live performance in switzerland where he did a acoustic piece. watched a couple others too.

on Feeling Good by GameboiX
With the way this is pieced together I'd say it's almost a Glitch track. The way the synth and the bass are kind of at odds with one another. Almost like the 3 were being played by different turntables or musicians that were just doin their own thing. It works though. The drums weren't messed up I thought.

Chicken... Needs more stabby Bass plugs or whatever. Haha, course, I'm always prone to say either. Gaaw, I could gofer some food right about now, but this town I'm in sux. Every place is closed for the night. Gotta wait until the AM to get sumfin.

The Pianos n synth on this were crazy. I'm especially diggin the Piano solo with fade near the end. Very nicely executed! Lates.

on Stellar by DougieDJ
Rain Drop effects generator or instrument I hear on this? Now for a completely random question- have you ever seen those instruments made out of Wood & Cactus Quills that they sell in some music shops?

Delving deeper into random- have you been to Space.com recently? They had an article or 3 yesterday reporting on Voyager II and how when it exited the Solar system they discovered that it's really Egg shaped or dented.

Score one for the home team because you've done a decent job making an Abstract/Ambient track. Lates!

If I remember correctly, it's a sound I got from Native Instruments Kore 2...they've got some pretty good stuff locked up in there. About the instruments, I can't say I have seen them...what're they called??

Thanks a lot for the review D, always appreciated!

on Explunder by GameboiX
Majestic court of the royals. The hero's assembled in secret to discuss what should be done about the amassing evil army to the clouded north regions. Would they try to match steel with steel, might against metal. Or instead, should they try to summon the guardians of old?

Sorry for that RPG moment there, but me thinks this would be great on some kinda score for something like that. Awesome stuff!

on Apocalypse by GameboiX
Fear the end, as most do. I only worry for the young at that time. Where will the innocent fall when all comes crashing down, eh?

So the intro to this was plenty strange and dark. I'm reminded of the way Dagobah looked in the Star Wars movies. When Luke crashed his X-Wing into that swamp and the mist/fog that seemed to surround everything.

So maybe this is from a time when after the Arch-Angels have swept through with their fiery swords. Rawk on. Lates!

on electronic nile crocodile by Rorshach2021
Hitting play more than once will cause momentary pauses and will restart the track, opps, haha. So is my man venturing out into other genres. Like with this Acid-something or other track. Jungle maybe? Dunno, the classification/naming process shifts just like quicksand, so sometimes I'm a bit lost.

I absolutely loved the vocal samples on this. And the Synths give it a worldly feel. Whereas, the Bass is very Rave-House-centric. And on that note, I'm gonna recommend that ya check out the band, Brain Bashers. I think you might just dig their style. Later on holmes!

on Disco Never Died by Devodale
Forgot to leave a review for this the other day. I'll never understand why Disco got such a bad wrap back in the day. Before I go any further I'm gonna recommend that ya check out the Pure Sugar project from about 10 years ago now. It had Richard 'Humpty' Vission, Pete Lorimer, and some singer who's name I forget now. I will note however, that via messages on Myspace, Humpty said he didn't much care for working on that project. Though I think some really great retro stuff came from it.

So of all the tracks I heard on Myspades the other day this was the one that I fancied the most. It's just got so much going on in the Synths that I think it's a rather fitting contemporary tribute to the so-called, late Disco genre. Though, as we all know, it never truly died in the House camp. Oooh, another couple of acts that I think you'll dig are- Sam Sparro (definately check out his track Black & Gold (the original)) and Gaz Reynolds (in particular, his track, Some Forgive). Both are on my "Top-24" on my donniev1 page on there. Well, I'm off. Later on holmes!

PS. sorry for the dbl send edit.

on Control the Mind by Zanza labs-Dj Hunta remix by Rorshach2021
Remix placed on the Looper table. The synths on this are just nuts, man. Given the title, I wonder what Psychotropic_Circle thinks of this track? And the only other question that remains there. Is it via hypnotherapy, coerrsive interrogative tactics, drugs, or by some other means that the mind is Puppet-prone.

Great production mate, but I was wondering- Do you think you could hook us up with a link to the original? Later on!

on Drum Werks I by Mokeone
Rhaggy! Haha, with all of the C3P0 talk are we lookin at maybe the birth of another sister track?

Even though I think they both meant R2D2, but it's cool. In fact, if you want I could email you a song that this is kinda remindin me of a bit later.

The way this progresses into the Bass is great. The Drums are wicked too. Lates!

on City At Night by Mokeone
Also the name of a Doors song? Or am I just thinkin of a verse from one of 'em?? This is kinda like a 7 year complimentive piece. Like comin from the upper mid-70's in that post Acid rock age where those things began to solidify into the pre-Funk/Punk of the era. Then it progresses into soundin like some good ole early 80's Disco/Soul-centric Pop. Cool mix mate!
Mokeone
Mokeone replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
DV, Buddy, You're right. It's a verse from The Doors, LA Woman album. Another song about night in the big city. Moke

on nicotine by mouko
On your how you organize yer thoughts and the elements you allow to surround yourself. Best tip I can give is to just pretend like you're broke all the time whenever out gettin stuff. This may prevent you from buyin stuff ya don't really need. That's how I quit drinkin. I was like- "Beer or bills?"... "A fifth or food??".

The way this starts out perfectly reflects those conflicting thoughts ya had mentioned in the description. Kinda like, the inner war was lounder/stronger than the outter ones. The drums on this were bad @$$, BTW. Lates!

on right here by mouko
To the face? "I see you!" Alright, that was bad. Unlike this. Is my man trying to create a new genre here? Somethin like 'Asphalt-Trance'?? Like a mix between urban beats and smooth electro synths!? I mean, you could go either way with this one. Nice n solid. Lates!

on The Son of Jack by Soulfull
Cheesy. Amanda, you have the tools to solve this problem!
Umm, that was from one of the Orange Underground Cheeto's commercials from a lil while back.

Daam Jim, I'm amazed you were able to take this track and twist it like ya did. That was like my first Cassette tape, evar. Haha, there was me, 5 years old, rawkin out on a piece of cardboard, actin like I could breakdance, man! Memories...

The drums were almost Daft Punk-esque and the synths ya used to sub out Mike's vox were wicked. Especially, the lower toned ones. Hella kudos mate. Sav/fav'd. Lates!

on Movin' by Soulfull
With having longer hair is that sometimes it causes the headphones to just slide right of yer head. In some ways, the ole 'High n Tight' had it's advantages (though it made me look like a major mo-mo re-re), haha.

So onto the track, the part I'm on now with the vocals is remindin me of some of DJ Keoki's stuff off of his album, Ego Trip.

In relistening, the two things I'm gonna suggest are remastering the beginning with somethin to make it smoother. The end could use a fade (or lengthened Cymbol crash). In between it sounds pretty tight. You pretty much nailed it. If you were wanting to go that extra mile you could maybe stand to amp up the bass just a hair (perhaps adding some slight reverb or gate). Other than that this is one slammin track. Lates!

Soulfull replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks for the advice, I know this track needs reworking, when I'll do it, I'll bear in mind your suggestions.
Thanks for listening.

on Rain and Harp by blairrock957
Something my Dad useta sing to me when I they'd lay me down to sleep. 'Hummin sumfin somethin hummin, and she'd be the Queen of the land. Like a Dimond shinin so brightly. Hummin sumfin somthing, and she'd be the Queen of the land.' The only bits I remember, I know, bad, right? Haha, so if ya ever need a way to knock yer kids out here's a good way (and if that fails you could always go all caveman Nugett and bonk 'em over the heads with the base of it, kidding kidding, besides, that's what they made Sudafed for, kidding, seriously, I'll stop, lmao). Interesting chune mate!

on Weak up! by Niclas199
This sounds like some good old Trance music.

Nice synths you got goin on there. And the sweepy brush sounds on the drums (?) sound wicked. If ya remaster or remix this maybe try boostin the bass up just a bit. Cool stuff mate!

on The Hand That Rocks The Game Collab THTRTD and I by GameboiX
I commented on this before, but maybe I just checked it out n did another track, eh I dunno.

Nice break starting at around 0:55 BTW. And then the Drums kick in, sweet! I know I might be off here, but for some odd reason the melody is kinda remindin me of certain Oriental styled music stuffs, but then when it picks up it sound like Trance again. Alright mate, nicely done!

on Tropic Of Cancer (Hot Summer Nights) by PsychotropicCircle
Pizzi (I think) at the intro of this. The Synth lead keys on this are pretty decent too. And I have absolutely no idea whether you are playing any instruments or just if ya just did this with loops, but I swear, those drums sound real! It's almost like I could see a band playin this on some dimly lit stage somewhere. With touches or swirling smoke here and there. Accentuated by what little light there is. Choice stuff there, man. Later on!

PsychotropicCircle replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

on First Rock Hard by GameboiX
& shakes head. For shame, 47 plays n not 1 said nadda!? What tha flip?

So this is a remix of one of yer other songs? I'm def diggin the Bass (or is it the lower Synth leads?). Very straight forward and hard. The Drums are cool, but kinda don't fit into the traditional Hard Rock styles. Course, it's cool because I was reminded of the Spawn sndtrk. Havin bands, MCs, and DJs all collabin to come up with some pretty tight stuff. Alright, so I think I'm gonna leave it at that since my mind seems to have turned off on me. Later on!

PS. Sorry for the dbl send
edit, but I just had a thought
go n check out Robert Miles'
album, Organik. I'm thinkin
that ya might just dig some of the
stuff he's got on there. Adios!

on Mental Behavior by GameboiX
So on to the track- This kinda has a few elements all rolled into one. I'm reminded of the Top Gun sndtrk with the Guitar on this. The keys remind me of The Legend of Zelda stuff, but beefed up. While the Piano's kinda remind me of a mix between Coldplay or The Fray. Could say Bunnymen and the whatever from the Donnie Darko sndtrk, but that'd be kind of cliche I'm thinking. The Drums are kind of in a way like Sneaker Pimps' older stuff (like from the '90s) mixed with a bit of New Order. Dood, if you were to get someone like the lead singer of The Cure to do vocals for this I could see it making the Billboard Top 20. Sorry, that was super random, but I just shot 'em out as they came to me. Later on mate!

on East Coast Joint by MosReQuest
Says what? Anywho, I'm diggin the deep Cinematics of this. Almost like the melody was taken from some old classic black & white flick. Phantom of the Opera meets King Kong and taken on by Wu-Tang. Course, this has elements that aren't quite the NYC scene, but it remains a mystery to me. Maybe it's more Baltimore/Va Beach style? I dunno.

This is golden, but if I were to change it I'd drop down the volume of the keys just a little. Nicely done. Lates!

on ai by scratchrabbitt
People kill me.

"If everyone looked the same- We'd get tired of lookin at each another!

I felt a quote from Groove Armada's- If Everybody Looked the Same song off of their album Vertigo was apt here about that.

It's def different, but when is that a bad thing? I'd say at the mo to check out the now defunct Ming+FS, coz I'm thinkin that you'd seriously dig their stuff. The Drums are dead-on and the crazy Bass give this track flavor (the only thing I'd do different is take them and copy it a few times, adding different effects to the whole patch/channel and then fade them in and out as the track progressed). Course if I were to do that it's stop being a Glitch track. Awesome journey you've taken us on. Thanks for sharing!

on Scanning The Sky by GameboiX
That distinguish between a Mainliner and an Opener. To me, you've got what it takes to be one of the headline acts for an event. It's very difficult to lace a track and make it go for as long as this one did. To mix and fade, interweaving the different aspects and understanding the subtle nuances of keys in a series of notes. And you've successfully done that here. Massive props, mack! Sav'd n fav'd. Lates!
