on I hope Youre Alright by ValveDriver

A very dark tune indeed. Like a Gothic Wellness check with hints of darkwave and a Tool like Percussion feel. When I listen to music It can trigger me to think of colors (a very mild form of synesthesia). In this case shades of grey and some deep blues. The melody line at the end triggered a tiny bright red feel, and the piano chops at the end were very ominous. This is truly a Valve driver tune. Good work.

ValveDriver replied 7th Nov 2020 - 5 years ago

Synesthesia. That sounds interesting. I kind of wish I had it.
It must make things much more interesting.

I think that's the first time I've heard that my music has hints of Tool in it. I take that as a compliment.

Thank you, sir, for stopping by! Be safe up there, mister.

Take care.

on She shines by ronabo

So Uplifting. That Sax is a killer, but I love how you make the sounds in the background so cool. great job mate!

on Patiently Waiting Ronabo collab by FullCapicityMuzic

Intense but very cool. I like the premise and the sax treatments lead the listener to feel the anticipation of the arrival. well done.

Thank you. :-)

on toot toot by terryjmhitsong

I just put this on and started to listen... But how the hell did I end up At Fat Cat Blues bar in St Johns nursing a draft???? How am I gonna get home, oh well line me up a shot of that Rye! The Music is too damn good to leave!

on THE CHOKE - VIGIL live in Helsinki by thechockehold

Yes, that's brilliant mate.

the Atonality along with that syncopated drum is fantastic. Are you familiar with the pianist Mike Garson? He used to work with Bowie. This Piano work reminds me of Mike's work on the album ¨Outside¨.

thechockehold replied 28th Oct 2020 - 5 years ago

Thank you! Really means a lot to hear that from you. Dont know this guy, but will check it right now.

Why I cant reach your spotify page it was listed on your website, but theres only black screen when I hit the link or search?

on funky love by terryjmhitsong

I hear the Level 42 influence on the chord changes on this one mate. Really nice arrangement. I love the detailed percussion which is something that lacks in many others tunes. The mixing is sublime as well as the instrument placement. You just need Mark King singing over this one ;-) Tres Bien! Your brother is killing it on lead. His feel is so in the pocket. I also love how the organ is mixed in the right place in the back of the mix. 10 out of 10.

terryjmhitsong replied 25th Oct 2020 - 5 years ago

thats the highest compliment for me ...level 42 ...thx...maybe in thier older days..i hope they get back together...you would be the first in line.....great review ...cheers

on Indie Band type thing by randomuser13

Hints of The Cure and also Propaganda. Really good. I agree the bass is a little bit too up in the mix but otherwise brilliant in every way. had my head moving. great job. fav´d

on in the heart of heaven by terryjmhitsong

Melancholy and soulful. Awesome tune. I´m getting a simply red feeling with a Mark Knopfler slide guitar feel. Beautiful mix !

terryjmhitsong replied 20th Oct 2020 - 5 years ago

thx man.....yes i noticed too their was a simply red thing goin on too...made me go back and listen to that track.....that being said it probably sounds like a lot of tracks....thx for the mix review....its a new mix which is good news...i think it helps thay my brother gave me new tools.....its so painfull to listen to old stuff just becuase of mixes.....on another note...i wanna do a level42 type thing....i can remember back in the day listening to that first album none stop for a year and thinking this is just ahead of its time and just way over my head to try somethin like that....and still is ....but you did it ...and in your own way....you have inspired me.....cheers cru

on Dance for Osiris by Nodog

Nice arpeggios and vox treatments, reminds me of the remix of Love is lost by David Bowie by Steve Reich.

Nodog replied 15th Oct 2020 - 5 years ago

Hi Steve i just listened to that Bowie video on youtube Love is lost he was amazing such a chameleon and visual artist too he had the ability to stop you in your tracks. Thanks for opening another door for me to look into. Stay well best regards Robbie.

Lets just say that Babette thinks other extracurricular ;-) activies are much more important than Football.

on Dance With Me - Ft Stephanie Kay by BaoBou

Awesome work on this one mate. Very good mix and FX on the guitars. The chorus also mixes in nice, the best sound so far I think. The spoken word style in the begining reminded me of an old chicago artist from the late nineties.

HAHAHAHAHAHA this is hilarious, do you know what "mijn naam is Babette en ik vind sex belangrijker dan voetbal" means? :D
The best bit is that I know a Babette ;)

Thanks for commenting Steven!

on 321 MAFIA X ProdTRAPDOC Cash App dababy type beat by randomuser13

Nice one. I like the kick.

crucethus 13th Oct 2020 02:29 - 5 years ago

on THE CHOKE - Royal Blood Boxing Club DEMO by thechockehold

Nice and dark, the triplets from the double bassed drums are notable. And the pure dissonance in the arrangement add to the darkness as well as gearing towards the bassier side of arranging. Well done composition.

thechockehold replied 13th Oct 2020 - 5 years ago

Thank you mr. Crocethus, sir. Well there is some progress in recording upright bass aspect, unlike my english (still). We used plastic beaters on kick drum for this, suuuuuper happy with kick sound. Thanks again!

on MIGOS - T-SHIRT FWLiX FLIP by FWLiX

Trap isn´t my forté by I do know a bit about this overdone genre. And this has some good arranging going on. I like the fills U use. Clean mix and good instrument choices. As Valve suggests I am also a fan of the multi layered percussion and kick methods. I would say the kick is probably the weakest point on the song but everything else is quite nice. good luck mate.

on whats in it for you by terryjmhitsong

You dont need a vocalist, this is awesome mate!. Very nineties and would have been on the radio then if it came out then. Like a Male, Veruca salt meets, Days of the New.
Great job I enjoyed that listen, I was bobbin along to this one. Awesome mix. Downloaded (TY) and faved.

on Instrumental 1 - A Sunny Day by BaoBou

So The Production is improving alot. I might sit the distorted guitar just slightly back in the mix and add a small delay to create even more space. (not the strumming ry though, thats perfect) but thats a personal preference. I would also use a compressor on the distorted guitar as well like something from Fab (Saturn) to give it some clarity and yet keep that lovely fuzz. Organ is sublime. As I said earlier the Bass is perfect, Its such a clean slap sound. So to answer your question, yes its getting better mate!
Cheers
Steven

BaoBou replied 4th Oct 2020 - 5 years ago

Thanks a lot Steve, you too many thanks for all your comments, it really helps!

on Instrumental 1 - A Sunny Day by BaoBou

Very Funky indeed. I like the bass work.

BaoBou replied 3rd Oct 2020 - 5 years ago

Thanks Steve! I mentioned the bass to Terry because he is a (much better) bass player. Any comments on the production? Is it getting slightly better?

on The Street Lights Fly By by ClickbaitCabaret

Nice intro. cool and menacing guitar jangly centered mix. percussion hats widen the experience. Appalachian city madness. like the Wheeling people of WV would be in a film noir experience. nicely done mate.

Again a big thank you for your friendly and constant support. Your sounds are always for me a rich source of inspiration and a great model of artistic quality. A musical bridge unites Italy to Canada.
