on Another Memoir by Shatner

The ¨Mental velcro¨......I like that phrase I also like ¨Wounded Buffalo beat¨ as a concept, but I realize that's a shout-out. Buffalo (Stance)...Neneh Cherry. "an attitude you have to have in order to get by. It's not about fashion but about survival in inner cities and elsewhere." Sometimes i have to take a srtep back and not focus on the musical aspect of Hip Hop, but the Lyrical content. As always you deliver that.
Carry on mate.

on Everybody Knows Backing Track by EricMilligan

A very nice instrumental mix of this. I don't think anyone can touch Sigrid's signature vocals on this tune. But hats off to anyone who trys. Nice sound.
Steven

EricMilligan replied 8th Jan 2021 - 5 years ago

I definitely agree with you on Sigrid's vocal, Steve. Really a unique take on Cohen's song.

I've tried to find info on the producers/arrangers, but haven't been successful. Piano and strings. I think I did add a sound effect hit in some sections, but it's really kind of an usual arrangement.

Used Realivox Ladies plugin for the backing vocals on the chorus section. It worked fine for "every" "body" but not so well for "knows". But, I set it back in the mix so I think it really isn't noticeable.

on Giving up on love Dj ARN Original Mix by djarn

I like the vox loop, this is true classic House with a modern twist. This is a mix of Warehouse/paradise old style with some modern ideas. cool tune.

djarn replied 6th Jan 2021 - 5 years ago

Thanks a lot ! I really love old school house, I'm just trying to sound fun, but I really would like to innovate and do something different, I hope to do it soon, greetings :)

on Youjin Trey - Dark Magic by YoujinTrey

I do enjoy the throat singing in this, and you have created a really cool atmosphere with a great sound and nice mixing. Not sure the drill drums are the best percussion for this tune, but you can have some fun and remix with other styles of percussion if You wish.

YoujinTrey replied 6th Jan 2021 - 5 years ago

Thank you)
Alas, I couldn't find Chinese drums. They would just merge together, but I don't have them :(

on Let me see you push by Lsdjfhk

I like this, the structure has a slight Iron Maiden feel to it.

crucethus 2nd Jan 2021 06:46 - 5 years ago

on Walking in the Sand by MPOProduction

Nice tune, for some reason it made me channel Tasmin Archer.

crucethus 2nd Jan 2021 06:42 - 5 years ago

on Youjin Trey - KKKIlla by YoujinTrey

You Know, I´m an abstract artist on this site for quite some time. That's one of the best intros I´ve ever heard to a song here mate. Minimalistic, but yet so cutting. great mix. This is good.

YoujinTrey replied 2nd Jan 2021 - 5 years ago

Thank you very much, I am very pleased that my work evokes such emotions)
This only makes you want to do something new)

on The AUX by topclass

Very Richard Butler like voice which intrigues me. Cool indie tune.

on My Mom Only In America by igorsamanski

That Solo is out of this world mate! The only time I have heard a solo like that was from Dream Theather on there tune ¨Constant Motion¨

These guys are also in the ball park of what you delivered here without the Bro step like sounds you did on this.
well done.

on KAIJU by Stereonomicon

Good evening my friend. Very nice Joe Jackson Stepping out" like intro. Then some whirling dervishes (very moog like sounds). Very trance-inducing, beautiful mix as always. great job. BTW Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!
Steven

Stereonomicon replied 29th Dec 2020 - 5 years ago

Hello dear friend, thank you again for your review. I hope you have a pleasant New Year towards a 2021 that is sure to be a better year.
A warm greeting

on M-ilios - Run The Show by ts61

I like the intro and build-up to the vox. But after that, there is not much substance to this track. it needs more intensity in the ¨Chorus¨, and the compression is way too much.

crucethus 25th Dec 2020 23:41 - 5 years ago

on Frozen Prod By Legendary by IAmLegendary

Good tune, clear sounding. mix is fine.

IAmLegendary replied 26th Dec 2020 - 5 years ago

Good to know have yet to hear it on monitors yet.

Legendary!

on Salvager by HeathAlexander

Awesome creativity. I like this one a lot. That wide Slap clap is awesome, and the pads are very cool, side-chained very tastefully. Like a queasy ambient dub. A new genre you could call QAB. Great work.
Cru

HeathAlexander replied 24th Dec 2020 - 5 years ago

Thank you. I like stacking claps and snares and spreading them out. I really don't know how to classify this one. I took a lot of inspiration from drum and bass, but I emphasized the instruments more than the rhythm. It's definitely queasy and ambient.

crucethus 22nd Dec 2020 03:04 - 5 years ago

on Lil Texas And Rob Gee - House Is Dead Cougar eddit by XjonasX

I love the execution. can U give me some sub-bass in this and then it's perfectos!

crucethus 19th Dec 2020 06:09 - 5 years ago

on For Life - CAP FT Emerald FULL SONG by tsochai

trippy and jazzy. Your delivery has a very slick rick (awesome for it) feel to it (sans British accent). And that silky sexy female vox, is killer. Great job.

tsochai replied 19th Dec 2020 - 5 years ago

emerald killed it on this track! hell yea.
thanks a lot my friend
much love

on Every Day by Micky

Ahh Yes, there are two forms of funk. Traditional instruments and the new funk as we approached the eighties, using synths (Prince, Cameo, Rick James, etc) This falls in that latter category and is an awesome job you did. You really captured the Zeitgeist of that time. Awesome space in the mix. Great groove, I was bobbin along Good work!

Micky replied 24th Dec 2020 - 5 years ago

Thanks Steven! That's right. I grew up with funk and Disco in all it's incarnations and now it appears absurd to me, picking just one and trying to do that "most authentic". I feel that today composing in an ecclectical way is all that one can do to be original. I am happy when the few that listen here are happy and as far as I get it they are. Maybe tomorrow I'll have the absolute unique, original dream and then I'll tell myself that I'd found my true self ;-)
Thanks again for listening and your friendly comment!
Cheers and Feliz Navidad,
Micky

on Deadly Intellect by Shatner

Intellect mortel! Perfect placement of consonants. Awesome as usual.

Shatner replied 18th Dec 2020 - 5 years ago

Thanks crucethus, I really appreciate it.

on Xmas Song Lil Nas X Holiday Type Beat by Prodcde

Well there it is ehh? . Kind of a melancholy track and I appreciate that vibe. Good Work.

crucethus 10th Dec 2020 06:12 - 5 years ago

on not right now ft morphuesd by terryjmhitsong

Sweet and soulful tune. slide guitar offers some nice character to the tune. I liked it., and I'm not much of a country fan, unless it's really really good.

terryjmhitsong replied 11th Dec 2020 - 5 years ago

thanks cru....im not sure if its country..lol

on ELEKTROSAURUS by Stereonomicon

Awesome, the description fits the bill as we say. Electrosauraus Rex, ehh? or Electrosapiensnreptillis? Well, whatever you choose it was fine analog synth descriptions.

Stereonomicon replied 9th Dec 2020 - 5 years ago

Thank you very much My friend, the hordes of reptiles swarm their bizarre cities hissing magical songs.
A cordial greeting

That's Some good old-time country.

on Ure on My Mind by 2nick8

Thanks for bringing the summer into the cold and dreary winter. we need that mate. Great job.

2nick8 replied 8th Dec 2020 - 5 years ago

Yeah...we could all use a nice summer right now..

on SCI - FI 1 - THE WICKED AMPHIBIANS OF TAU CETI by Stereonomicon

Marco, Somewhere between Joe Jackson ¨Steppin out¨ and Berlin´s the ¨Metro¨ this song sweetly belongs, but I love the analog sweeps. It even has hints of Vince Clarkes Depeche Mode days. And yet it definably is your sound mate. Great job as always bringing the synth sound of the eighties to a sophisticated ennui of 2020.
Your Friend (if I were Italian I would take four fingers to my lips and move them away while making a Moahh Sound.) That's how good this is.
Steven

Stereonomicon replied 5th Dec 2020 - 5 years ago

Hi Steven, as always your reviews are very nice and funny, but also complete and thorough.
Best wishes and see you soon Marco
