The reason I'm so "pissed" is because what you're saying isn't even advice, it isn't even criticism. It's just insults, for no reason. And I didn't say popular equals good, I was just saying that you're the ONLY person I've ever met who hates my track. That's got to count for something.

You haven't even provided a single thing I could do better. Saying "everything" isn't criticism, it's just another way to insult me. And while I do enjoy franko75's work, I don't see how this is a "reference" to him. I haven't even used one of his loops.

Also, please learn to count better.

If you "would like to be helpful", maybe try being helpful. And don't think I didn't notice that last shot there. I feel I'm plenty talented and I put in a lot of work in my tracks.

That being said, I can see that I can't change your opinion with this track, so I suggest you listen to some of my others. You might find something you like.

Hey buddy! I enjoyed reading your comment, and I thank you for listening! Your last words "That snare though" had me wondering what you meant... is it positive or negative? It was hard to tell. It seems that I stamp myself into everything I am involved with, possibly too much so, much to the dismay of employers, government officials, police and doctors. Oh well. Thanks again!

Very kind!
Check out my other tracks!

Hi Meta, thanks for stopping by will be sure to do the same.

Considering the original version is my second most popular track, I think I'm doing just fine standing out, thank you very much.

Also, don't expect to come to me and throw your barrage of insults at me and not have me retaliate. You have NO right to just come in here and insult my track relentlessly. If you're going to bash every single bit of a track, at least provide some actual criticism, or maybe something I could do better!

Also, going to OTHER TRACKS and hating on this one is probably the most scummy thing you could do.

I feel I've done plenty original with this, such as the double drop and halfway incorporation of pads and other synths, as well as layering them throughout the track as a callback to weave it together.

In summation, fuck you.

Every dish is good with a little bit of salt! Thanks!

Thank you very much for your detailed comment and the condolences. Being back in music really makes it all better to chew. I will change and add a small break later on. Good idea!

thanks my bro...i just need to spend more time on music,its rare i re open a beat,i jus get to a point,export and thats it lol...its all about time for me,married with kids and a long arse job = no music time :(

hi Metabolic. Thanks for your supportive comment. The way I did this is to sit on the piano first thing in the morning, and play a bunch of scales and arpeggios. Then I just play anything at random. After a while, something good starts to happen, and that is the basis for the track. The other thing that was quite interesting, is that the organ sound was not something I would normally use because it sounds a bit soft, but as a contrast with the bright piano sound, it seems to work well

We shall see!

Thank you Metabolic for the kind words. I suppose the "innocence" you speak of is probably related to the aspect of the song which delves all the way back to 1994's experiences. Can't do much other than my thing... definitely not going to do other people's things...heh! Thanks again!

Yo.

Good to hear from you.

Yes, it's pretty good fun when those fat drums kick in.

"That vocal sample is on point."

It totally isn't as there are no vocal samples in the track. If there were, I probably would have mentioned it in my description. Give me a time reference and I'll tell you exactly what you're hearing. Probably a cello sound. I hope you've read that all this riffage is distorted cello. I still think most of it sounds exactly like guitar.

"My headphones are screwed so I cannot comment on the mix.."

That is a shame but it seems you've at least heard something worthwhile.

"@4:14 a great switch, evolving, then back to that southern/nola feeling riffage.. "

Yes, I get funky, with the distorted Rhodes part (plus some clean cello bowing underneath) and then it's back to the badass riffage. But, for the third and final heavy movement, I introduce some different synth arps and melodies.

Great to hear you'll have some new music soon. I still haven't got round to hearing all your current Looperman tracks. Must start changing that.

Thanks again.

Thanks Metabolic for your friendly words.
Maybe you find the place again if you listen once more to this track :)

I did a lot of collaboration with Burt right now. So lets see when the next hit comes out :)

stay tuned

Hey there! Sorry it took a while to get this far in the list of comments! Very happy you enjoyed listening, and I hope you took a listen to the updated version as well... it's significantly more pleasing. I really don't know much 90's techno, mostly industrial when it comes to electronic from that era. I have been more influenced by German music and culture of late, so that makes perfect sense. Been having a lovely time in the studio during the moments I get to spend there. Thank you for listening!

Harsh reviews are what make us better, so really you can pick away at whatever you like. I'm not gonna pretend I'm that good, as I've only been doing this for a year and a bit, so criticism really helps (provided people actually state what's wrong, of course).

Yo.

Everyone's saying Sabbath and I don't disagree but I really rarely listen to them. My stoner/doom references are more 90s and since then. But, yes, Sabbath did basically invent this sort of genre.

However, the big, big difference between this track and perhaps any of their stuff is the use of deep chill and ambient elements. Never heard that in one of their tracks but I'm no Sabbath expert so maybe later stuff has it.

"Felt a vocal vibe at 0:48"

I think that's just a guitar note and strings coming together though there are subtle vocal samples in this too (quite possibly also at that point).

" I do feel there should be a short switch up after the end, maybe something a little faster for 8 or 16 bars."

I hear what you're saying and, yes, it would have been so, so easy to take this double time and really pound away with more and more badass riffage.

However, I do double time/half time drum stuff so often that I'm trying to do less of it - just for variation in my body of musical work.

If you want to hear some pumping, mental riffs and switching between fast and mid tempo, try this beauty:

Thanks for your thoughts.

Big comment coming up on your latest track as I'm already a big fan of your stuff.

Thanks for feedback! Will Improve!
