Hey, John. Track shows a lot of promise, I think. I particularly liked the dissonant treatment and syncopation of the melody line. Definitely has a Caribbean feel to it. I''m thinking that it needs more bottom end on it, or maybe something like a synth wash to mesh it together, but I'm not sure. I've listened to it a couple of times now and am appreciating it more each time I listen.

OK. I really like where this track is going. I'm probably not the right guy to collab on it with you, but I'm definitely interested in hearing how it turns out.

SYMPHONIC!!!!!!

I agree with Danke. This is a great track. I love the melody and the vocals are definitely among the best I've heard on Looperman.

OK. This was REALLY fun!! Yes, some of us are ready for some 30's swing. This is much better than my poor attempt:

Although I think the scratchy record sound on my track was almost as good! :)

I assume you played the drums live. I no longer have a drum set and couldn't find any samples with the right cymbal sound. You had it nailed, though.

Nice work.

Speak for yourself, Leverett! Winter may be over for you in Italy, but here in Ottawa, we are expecting 15 cm of snow tonight. Winter won't be over until probably May, BUT your great track might just cause it to come sooner! :)

I loved the vocoder part. Very nicely done. Would have downloaded the track if that had been allowed. This is definitely one that should be featured on Loopradio.net

I can definitely hear this track with a singer and a rapper. It's one of those tracks where my mind can't help but start playing around with possible melodies. For me, that's the mark of a track that really connects.

I think the audio output level is a bit low on it, but perhaps you are leaving headroom for the rappers and singer? I'd be inclined to re-master it to give it a few more db. Looking forward to seeing/hearing if you get collaborators on it. Definitely a good one!

YES!!! Great track, Simon224. Sounds like something I'd have made, if I knew how to do dubstep. Where did you get the spoken word? This was great fun! Cinematic!

Nice track, UnitEM. Great feel. The kick drum sound is an excellent choice. Really deep. Definitely relaxed my soul! :)

Just had to post one last time this evening before I go to bed.

I've been playing your track non-stop for the last 3 hours. Brought it into Logic and have been having so much fun playing along with it, adding brass, more strings, lead synths, etc. Everything I try actually detracts from it, instead of adding to it. The more I play the track, the more I realize how beautifully crafted it is. It is gorgeous, like a finely woven tapestry.

Doc: OK. This track is far better than I could create, but I am going to offer some very respectful suggestions. I realize that critiques of this type are very rare on Looperman, so I hope this doesn't make me into a a "baddie". I'm doing this because I liked your track very very much and it left me wanting for more.

So, first of all, I loved the instrumental track. It was, in my view, exceptionally good. It could stand on it own a a really fine piece of music. However, I didn't feel that KnowKontrol's acapellas fit very well in your composition. That's not a criticism of his vocals, which I think are excellent. He knows I feel this way about his stuff. I've used them, and valued them, myself in a recent track. It's just that, to my ears, they didn't really "jell" in your composition. I think the the piece would have been stronger without them, frankly.

So, I'd urge you to post a version of the same track without the vocals. I'm serious about this. I'd love to have that in my playlist. I'm being a bit selfish in suggesting that because all the time I was listening to it, my mind was playing around with ideas for a melody line. This track has great potential.

Hope you aren't offended by my comments or suggestions. I wish I'd composed this track. I'd be quite pleased with myself if I had. :)

I agree with Yumwum. This is a great sounding track and it seems to be calling out for vocals on it. Thanks for allowing downloads. I'll be playing this on my iPhone as I ride the bus to work tomorrow. :)

Yes! Another good track! Great feel on this one. I don't know how you get all those sounds. I like listening to dub step, but have no idea how to make a track like this.

Nathan: I have to admit that I don't listen to a lot of rap, but this track really caught my attention. I really liked it. Nice work!

Hey, Leon. I like the sound of this track. I've downloaded it with idea that I might attempt a remix, if you don't mind. It reminds me a bit of a Kate Bush song, don't remember the name. Had a really great music video. I'll let you know if I do something with it.

So, I'm sitting in my office at work, listening to your track while I'm trying to edit a report on enforcement approaches for consumer protection agencies. I'm not being very successful, because I keep getting distracted by your most excellent music. (Don't tell my boss!) I don't think this multi-tasking is going to work! :) I'll just have to stop the editing. Your music is much more interesting.

Very, very nice track. I love the instrumentation. I want to add opera type vocals to it! Unfortunately, can't sing at all. But I can hear the sound in my head.

OK. I really really liked this remix. Great job! Kept my interest for the entire track. Nice work!

Really good driving beat here!

Got me moving right away! And smiling! This track has a really nice sprit. A sense of humour I think. Mix sounds really good on my headphone. Very good separation/placement of instruments in the frequency spectrum.

Definitely has a late night, laid-back, winding-down feel to it. Really liked it. Its the kind of music that I like when I just need to disconnect from all the stresses of work etc., turn down the lights, and let my thoughts go where they will.

Eddie: Yes, it IS good!!!! As Danke said continuous headbanging. Definitely a good track. My advice is to step back from it a bit for a while, then see if you get some ideas on how to extend it. That doesn't always work for me. I take forever finishing a track, but it might work for you. This is good stuff!

A beautiful tribute to your Mom. Can't say much more that would be meaningful. Sometimes, the music just has to speak for itself.

Just found this track, referenced by Patricia. Beautiful melody and beautiful tone. Piano work, whoever did it, was just right. I will add this to my playlist for sure! It's strange, and kind of wonderful, how when we do a composition, the feelings we have at the time of composition inevitably come out through the music. Somebody once said something like, "with music you can always tell how the composer was feeling". I think you were feeling somewhat melancholy, but there was something very special as well. I think it was love. It certainly was something good.

xVeteranReaperx: Just noticed that Patricia's profile says she definitely is NOT available for collaborations, so I guess my idea for that is a non-starter. I should have checked before mentioning it. Was more of passing thought than a real proposal anyway. I have noticed that contributors that release music professionally, such as Patricia and Falisha, often aren't available for collabs. They probably get many requests because their stuff is so good.
