Well done!
Ciao, Domenico
PS: I can't say much on the lyric :-)
on Instant Reaction - Featuring - Sanna Hartfield by midiman007
This is a wonderful song!
I really like the "scratch-like" build up on the keys (1:04 we hear it for the first time).
Nice work on the bass, simple but very effective.
Piano is outstanding... and of course the guitar is my favorite here.
You have a killer sound (I know...I have already told you several times...but I really like it)
Loved it...it's a pity that we cannot download it: you need to make an album of your music soon.
Ciao, Domenico
on Stormy stepper by Prelude
My personal highlights:
- the powerful bass riff (seen first time 0:17)
- the overlay of instrumental (loop?) with the choir
- good use of the "harp" sound, to build an additional layer
What maybe could be improved:
- the sound used for the melody starting at 0:50
(I am not so fond of this very synthish sound, but this is completely a matter of taste...I am sure others will love it)
Overall: Great track! Liked it a lot.
You have a great talent ... but you probably already know it :-)
Ciao, Domenico
I respect and appreciate your feedback .

on The Man You Use To Be - Feat Patricia Edwards by Musicante
Loved everything: wonderful voice and wonderful musicians put together a very good song.
Special mention to the outstanding guitar work, but everything is really on the highest level.
Thanks for sharing it with us!
Ciao, Domenico
I thank Franco (ferryterry) for the fine guitar work.
We all appreciate your time and comment.
Ciao,

Coming to the music...
- The first part, the Ground Basse, works very well.
I like this syncopated keys "fighting" against the flowing bass. Only remark: I would raise a bit the level of the bass and if possible, use a more "grinding" sound.
- Second part, The Blues.
What can I say on the organ? really beautiful.
I like the sound and the light bluesy mood. Liked it.
Of course the piano is also good, but the organ is
my favorite (strange: I usually prefer the piano,
but I like too much what you played on the organ here).
Also the drum loop works very well.
- Third part, One Step Closer
Again, nice syncopated keys, but this time in an
almost "industrial" context (due to the drums).
Not so fond of the special fxs running in the background.
Again ... you know how to play these keys :-)
Liked a lot the solo going on.
Light and perfect for the atmosphere.
Special mention for the bass sound: I like it, few notes
but in the right place. Good.
- Fourth part, Nuclear Sunset
This is now something totally different.
Strange pads at the beginning (maybe the looping point
could use a better "cross fade" at 9:33)
Weird, but hey,
we are going for a nuclear sunset, arent we?
Around 10:30 the track really gets "chilly" with nice
pads and good work on the piano
(I would be curious to hear this piano line with an
echo... a huge echo set on 1/4 and lot of feedback...
not sure it would work, just curious).
Probably you could also make the ending a bit longer,
but I assume that at 12:07 you didn't want to extend it
too much.
So the final question: is this really a suite or are these 4 tracks assembled together?
Hard to say. I personally think they could work as single tracks but I see how you wanted to offer the listener a different experience by abutting them to form a single song.
And of course I also recognize common elements across the 4 parts: your keyboards playing could be seen as the fil-rouge that connects the various movement.
It's a bit feeble as link, but you are the boss and you decide what has to be done :-)
Final word: LIKED!
I am happy I decided to listen this.
Ciao, Domenico
PS: be ensured that the fact that you recently commented one of my tracks doesn't play any role in my post.
I am *always* looking for new music here, even if I have no "featured track" to promote. And I always try to be as honest as possible with my comments.
I agree that the first 3 songs are quite similar combining the e piano playing with ezdrummer grooves. Nuclear song is based on the Am7FM7 progression from midisparkss snippet. I do not make any so called illustrative music and that nuclear title is from midisparks as well. I think I managed to blend loops much better and quite smoothly on my other tracks. Here I was looking for a proper chord progression from the midisparks audio so it is just a weird combination of an ambient and some strange jazzy piano chillout.
Actually Ive made already a song adding delay effect to the piano line, I know it may sound quite chilled or just interesting when played in a real time even. This is some nice concept.
I am happy you had a chance to listen to my current work. I enjoyed your track as well.
Thanks again for such a nice and detailed review! All the best to you, Alex
on I m Lost by Darkreine
And a superb song!
I already said it some time ago, your voice is warm and well suited for these sad melodies. Liked it a lot.
Kudos to Megapaul for the gtr solo: perfectly fitting the mood!
And as usual, the Darkreine touch in the mixing/production is a guarantee for good taste.
An instant classic!
Ciao, Domenico

on Valvedriven by StaticNomad
So glad to see what you have done!
Definitely you have left your comfort zone here!
Let's go to the details...
- Riff ~0:40 is really great! You are a real bad boy :-)
- at 1:20 we get some "weird" stuff... and then the "synth bass" with some typical "Nomad's" drums. This is more in line with your usual music. Good.
- Solo 2:25 is working very well. Sweet I dare to say.
- The choir part works well.
- The rhythm change at 3:55 is genius. Loved it!
- At 4:14 the part I liked the least... not bad but sounds a bit "forced" (compared to the high quality of the rest of the song).
- We can't have Metal without a double kick, and we get some around 5:00 (but not overused, good)
- The riff at 5:20 is a killer one! I think that lot of people would have made a 3 minute song only out of this single riff.
- Nice sound at 6:15, it seems like someone breathing (gtr?) disturbing at the right point.
- Tapping? is it tapping at 6:48? (OK, probably hammer-on would be a better description but still unexpected from you)
Overall... a great tribute from one of the best minds to one of the best minds around here.
Standing ovation!
Ciao, Domenico
Yes, bad boy guitar riffage at 0:40. Quite simple 2/3 chord thing though some of the fills at the end of the bars are a bit more difficult.
1:17 the weird stuff you're hearing is almost exactly the same as the first 40 seconds. It's a cutup mixture of synth bass and bass guitar. Except, for the drop down into the quieter stuff, the distortion has been removed. I'm very pleased that it works both quiet and heavy. Not sure how many people would recognise that they're the same thing.
Yes, guitar entering around 2:14 is more my regular sort of blues grooving. I'm much more comfortable doing chillout blues grooving than metal riffs.
Choir voices are maybe the standout interesting element in this and make it much more than your average metal instrumental.
3:55 rhythm change? I think you mean 3:50. There I'm just adding the fatter metal kit on top of the kit that you've heard in most of the chillout middle section. All part of fattening things up so that we can ease into some proper heavy #####.
4:14 not sure what's happening there that you don't like. Maybe you mean the very low choir voice on 4:17.
Yes, killer riffage at 5:17 - seems to be a popular section with people. Good playing but made better with some little edit cheats that make it much more interesting and groovy.
3 min track of that sort of playing is possible but I think you'd need vocals to stop it getting boring.
6:15 interesting sound is one of the previous choir vocals run through some interesting rhythmic effects. So, sort of like breathing.
No tapping at 6:48 - just hammering-on (trills). Really easy to play. I'd quite like to do fast tapping but I can't seem to manage it. I only do tapping occasionally in tracks and it's not really the fast metal type.
See 1:07 part in this recently uploaded track for some groovy guitar tapping.

Thanks again for the standing ovation for one of my heaviest ever tracks. Might even be first track on my heavy music album.
on Woodoo Child by Nightingale
Great work Nightingale!
Ciao, Domenico
PS: thanks to MrValve for pointing this in MrNomad's forum's thread.
Great to hear it from you.
The best.
on A Little Patience by JohnnyHunter
Liked it a lot.
Thanks to GramoChopin for pointing this out in MrNomad's forum's thread.
on Coffee at Angeliques by DrvanLansberg
Enjoyed it: my personal highlight are the guitars, the jazz one (~1:45) and the more funky rhythm one that follows (~2:25) and opens a very interesting more "complex" section of the track.
The synth-bass sound is "on-spot".
Well done!
Ciao, Domenico
PS: big thanks to MrNomad for pointing this out in his forum thread!
Many thanks for taking the time to check out the track and your compliments. Actually, most credits go to the "real" musicians like Franco Quadroni and Slap Johnson. Without the solo´s it would be just another little chill out track. So you can imagine how happy Looperman makes me all the time :-).
The bass sound was quite a puzzle to be honest. I got some feedback on the first try and that really helpd me in creating the perfect sound to lead this track.
And yes, many thanks to Nomad for creating the extra platform and to Promenade for listing my track!
Best, Doc
on After Midnight by Pillow
Good choice of sounds and well mixed.
The bass line is a bit "obsessive" with the two notes repeated over-and-over-again, but this is not a bad thing: it makes the song "darker" and I think this was your intention.
Beautiful trumpet solo.
Overall, I song I liked.
Ciao, Domenico
PS: I have to thank MrNomad for pointing me to this little gem.
on Let Me Put My Penis In Your Vagina by ade1980
...and I am glad I did it!
Liked the "song": wish you all the best for your career as a comedian!
Ciao, Domenico
on Fire In The Air by Planetjazzbass
I listened to this after hearing Psychotropic's version: your version is more a "song" in the classical sense. MrPC has "spread" some jazzy-feeling over it, which provided a completely different result.
I love both versions!
Well done (but I was expecting nothing less by our MrPJB!)
Ciao, Domenico
on Psychotropic Fire with 22 Catch Air by PsychotropicCircle
"understated" jazz works perfectly with this pella.
Well done!
PS: I am a big fun of what Erik Truffaz did with rappers in Bending New Corners, I think your work is at a similar level.
Never understood why we don't have *more* of this! It works so well!
on Poison Of Love by PsychotropicCircle
But I think this is exactly what a musician should always do (or at least try it): giving the song what the song needs.
And this piece of music works beautifully!
Maybe the ending could be improved, but beside that (minor thing) this song is a real masterpiece.
Ciao, Domenico
on Broken Hearts (completed) by PsychotropicCircle
Superb work on the low frequencies, as usual :-)
I am a big fan of your music!
on Get By by PsychotropicCircle
...and the train in the ending, I am sure it is a direct connection to the barbary coast ;-)
Love your bass tone.

The original is still there, but in a totally new rendition.
Thanks!

on Marrakesh by PsychotropicCircle
I don't think I am gonna getting an answer, but I am really curious to know how you got this bass sound?
Synth?
Thanks again for sharing your music with us.

on Broken Bars From Zach´s Soul by PsychotropicCircle
And I fully agree with him: this is pure genius!
I like this song a lot.
Ciao, Domenico
on Farisha - Stay by Enzotic
Excellent job: as somebody already stated, this is radio-ready.
You have shown good taste in keeping the instruments at the right level, creating a nice carpet for Farisha's voice.
And I also liked how your instruments become more "predominant" towards the end.
Very well done!
Ciao, Domenico
on Green Shuffle Aka SCCM by Orlando51
I really like the final piano part; superb sax.
And of course, Ed's guitars are the icing on the cake :-)
The level of your work is always very high.
Thanks for sharing your music with us.

on Opioid by StaticNomad
After a long break I come back to Looperman and I don't find any new MrNomad's song in the featured tracklist. Toobad!
So I had to dig into the track section of your account...and I found something.
Here my humble comment...
wonderful intro; liked the guitar sound a lot
nice bass line in the section starting from ~40", I don't like too much the bass sound but the line is catchy and "sexy". Funky?
The "cure-ish" guitar at 2:00 is a little gem: this is the characteristic that I like the most in your music: you throw in a gozzillion of these little brilliant phrases in your tracks and you never indulge "too much" in repeating them.
...some bass slap notes ~3:00, cute :-)
Around 3:20 we get psychedelic once more.
"Alien sounds" at 3:30: I don't know what this is but sounds good (and strange).
Unexpected change at 5:00 ... maybe a bit disappointing for me. Not your best section, but still good enough for me to listen through it.
And then ...synth arpeggios, lots of them: not my cup of tea but I liked it.
Approaching 7:00 we have "epic strings" bringing the mood more into known ground.
Some ol'good dist guitars at 7:30 ... liked it.
The track raises up ... are we approaching the end?
Lasers...dist riffs...wow, these nasty guitars have kicked away the poor bass...
Very good "riffing" in the last section (from 9:00) ... and finally the end.
Overall: I enjoyed this song.
I expect I will come back to looperman to listen it again later.
You are an excellent musician MrNomad.
Thanks.
Ciao, Domenico

3,000 Miles Of Funk
http://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/160058
Anyway, Opioid:
Yes, clean funky autowah guitar sound that I should use more.
0:40 some sort of synth bass part made many years ago with my Korg Z1 that I've used in a few tracks (the exact same part!). I love that sound.
""cure-ish" guitar at 2:00"
I had no idea that sounded like The Cure. I'm not a fan but I have heard a fair bit of their music over the years. I respect more than like them (not keen on Robert Smith's vocal style).
Yes, one of the major highlights of my music in general is just how many short little interesting bits pop here and there. I really do try hard to reuse these parts and make the most of them but sometimes it's best to hear them only briefly. Sometimes it's more memorable.
I very rarely do any slap bass but used to a lot more in my teenage years (I started out as a bass player). The slap here was probably played in about 2002 though there is also some in my new funk track Bright Side Of The Sun.
""Alien sounds" at 3:30"
Lead Korg Z1 synth part that is indeed quite alien (see Evisma's description). I should use that sound more often.
Sorry you didn't like the change at 5:00. I do. That'd where the track changes direction and becomes more acid synth. I guess you're not so into 303 stuff. That's more for people like Crucethus and other dance music lovers. Me too but it has to be done right (most of it I find quite boring and unimaginative).
You also don't like the synth arps eg 6:31. Probably because it's over more of the synth dance stuff. I know you prefer the rock/funk/guitar stuff. That's OK.
Yes, 7:00 epic strings - very powerful and bassy Korg Z1 sound.
7:29 not distorted guitar but an earlier funk bass guitar part (eg 2:15) put through one software amp. Classic example of me reusing parts. This time it's hard to recognise it from before.
"Lasers"?
No lasers here! Must be some of the crazy distorted, delayed lead synth parts arriving on 7:47.
8:07 I love that weird melody.
Finally some heavy guitar comes in on 8:26. Before it was just bass g, drums and synth.
9:43 I'm really pleased with the beauty of that guitar part (and drums). Like a whole new track but also a calm ending.
Thanks again for all the praise...
on Stay featuring Farisha Haque by RichieWinn
...and this is a real art!
I think this should always the first goal of a musician: give the song exactly what the songs needs, not a single note more!
With that respect, the short guitar solo is a perfect example: it is helping tremendously in creating a "movement" in a point where the song may slip into "repetitiveness".
In short: I loved this song!
Ciao, Domenico
PS: ...forgot to mention...I hate the auto-tune effect and I fully believe that Farisha doesn't need it... but who am I to dictate what others should do?
And the final result is "very enjoyable", this is all that matters.
Thank you so much for taking the time to post your comments. Much appreciated.
I like the "understated" view very much and just about sums up my approach to all of this. I guess my view is "little is more" and sometimes it's what you leave out that is important. Thank you too for the comment on the solo. Again you hit the nail on the head as providing some contrast was indeed the purpose of it. You have a good insight into how I work I think!!
OK I am all auto tuned out so glad you found the overall track enjoyable.
Regards
Richie
