on Negative happiness by Danke
Very Good my friend. I like the tuning on the guitars to create that sludgy sound. Good work!

Thank you Stevee!
Our band guitarist makes some experimentations on the guitar tuning and I'm always there in the back to steal those things ... :-)
Fistbump,

on Jazzy Beat by BadNode
Very Interesting. I would like to hear what the result of this becomes. Do you have mastering software? I would love to separate the instruments more in the mix. Nice work. keep at this one!

BadNode replied 17th May 2025 - 10 months ago
Thanks Crucethus! I just use what is stock in ableton, if I add to this I'll do a proper mix down and adjust the levels a bit. I wanted this one to be quiet and more somber, hence the relatively tame wavform. Thank you for the listen and suggestion!

on Moss Mother II- Reality Is The Tolling Of The Bell by ValveDriver
Manuela has a point. I don't make my music to make $$$, I make the music I want to hear. Is that the right approach? IDK. But it's my approach. If you like my music. Great, If you Don't. So be it, art is subjective. If I make some money from it. Great. If I don't. I have songs I like to listen to and make me happy. Music will never be the thing that makes me compromise in my life. That's what my Day job is for. And to be honest, I get to be creative in that as well. But you my friend ...we see eye to eye on the dark stuff. I enjoy your music and creativity, and look forwards to hearing new stuff from yah.

ValveDriver replied 12th Apr 2025 - 11 months ago
It absolutely IS the right approach. That's why my original tagline here was "I'm here to get good, not famous". Admittedly, it would be nice to make enough money with it to be able quit my day job, but either way, it brings me joy, so, meh...whatev's. I'm good.
Yeah, we do see eye to eye on the dark stuff. Our approach to making it are two completely different methods, though. Yours has always been a lurking darkness brilliantly hidden behind brighter elements. It's there, you know it's there, but you can't pinpoint it creating a certain level of unease. Mine, well, it's just right there.
I have a few new things posted that I don't think you've heard. Drip Christ is one of them. I think my darkest, and most raw, aggressive yet. Check it out if you get the time.
Always good to hear from you, brother.
Take care.

on PLAMEN by ZE7DD
Yeah, I love the darkness of the slavic world. One of my Fav's from quite a few years now is Deep Zone Project from Bulgaria. You both use similar minor chord structures with Unique stabs and Basslines. But you also incorporate modern Goth.

The dark Slavic aesthetic has such a unique atmosphere, and Deep Zone Project definitely has some solid vibes. Love blending those haunting minor chords with a modern touch.
Thanks for sharing and for the kind words!

Safety,

Nice mate. So which do you prefer? Prince's original, or Tom Jones with the Art of Noise. Always great to hear you work it out!
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 27th Mar 2025 - 1 year ago
I don't hate what Tom Jones did with it, but His Royal Badness is where it's at man. I love everything he did and I cried when he left us. I still can't hear snow in April without crying.

Yeah, Mate, Lovely Intro. Very nice Pad Choices with a subtle jangly guitar. That Bass drives it though. Great Work. fav'd, My head was bobbin along with a zen-like quality! ;-)
Zootman
Zootman replied 27th Mar 2025 - 1 year ago
Appreciate that Cru. Yeah I was quite happy with the meandering bass lines. There's not much to it, two guitar parts, two stnths and the midi bass plus two drum loops.

on North by Mykael
Yes, I Love that Chord Structure. You have the beginnings of a Monster song my friend. I was thinking you do the verses 2 in a row, then instead of a chorus, do a bridge like Queen did with the song Mother Love. Also, bring that organ up in the mix. Had to listen again to capture the subtleties of this one. Great Work!

on Finally Realised by dimestop
Have you ever thought of doing your vox through a distortion effect? I think that might add some gravitas to your vocals, like a kind of trade-off with the distortion and the clean vox.
dimestop
dimestop replied 14th Dec 2024 - 1 year ago
hi Cru i used a little distortion once on my vocal the reviews more mixed but its not something i tend to do, maybe its about time i collabed with you and you could try all the weird and wonderful things you are so good at. of all my friends here you are somebody i would love to collab with, then i could get a more ideas of what i maybe could try myself, i would use our track then as a reference, i only have a Manuela track i use as a reference at times, its belongs to her studio so i would never share it, you are a far better producer than me, i know my way round a mixing table now but im always amazed with what others have done with my vocal, like Oli @vintagenights and Manus producer Nik, have a think about it my friend you are on my bucket list to work with, in fact you have been on my list longer than anyone to be truthful, but i know your life is busy smile, thanks for the check your visits are always appreciated as is your feedback, you were also the first that really sort of understood me and what im trying to achieve

on VT Nights x KayOS - Modern World by Kayos2
Lovely Tune, Dripping with Irony in how you delivered the sounds and the tech used in making it,, I always appreciate that sensibility in art. Let me know when you want me to do a remix of this. We could call it "The luddite mix" /S I enjoyed this one!

great to see you around my friend, just vocal layers different fx on each multilayered volume stages 10% softclip vfx envolope and automation got them soundin good, got two raps lined up next

That's awesome, my friend. I have been listening to quite a bit of Ride the Lightning by Metallica lately. The Trio of " Ride the Lightning,"" For Whom the Bell Tolls," and "Fade to Black" is the optimal turning point for metal and such a groundbreaking trio of songs on an album that's only 46 minutes. and 8 songs.
You perfectly capture the dark underbelly of this genre. And you know I appreciate that Darkness you evoke. It is always a pleasure to listen to your work.
ValveDriver
ValveDriver replied 17th Nov 2024 - 1 year ago
Thank you, Steve. I appreciate it. That is definitely one thing we've both enjoyed from each other. The dark underbelly of whatever we choose to do musically.
I think the early 80s were a pivotal point for a lot of things. But, as far as metal goes, absolutely. I know at this point, it's almost cliche, but I credit Cliff Burton for a lot of what we have today. It was his influence on James and the boys that brought out the music we got from them. In turn, they as a band influenced so many others. I mean, there were definitely others that had a huge impact. But, yes, Ride The Lightning specifically is an iconic album. Everything up to ...AJFA was, really. After that, the mainstream kind of caught up to their sound, and grunge was coming in hard. They sort of just started blending in to the background at that point. I'll always have a soft spot for them, but I almost never listen to them anymore. Maybe I should dust off the old vinyls and take them for a spin, huh?
Take care,my friend.

Nice 808 percussion and vocal treatments on this one mate, not weird at all. I could see a segment where we go full-on hardcore metal, and then bring it right back down again.

on Zombie ft 2Sisters by dimestop
Nice collab, now you are entering the electro world ehh. I like that side of yah. Send me that Discord link via LM P-message, and I am ready to re-engage. A Really catchy tune! I want them to warp your voice with a lowering of the key back and forth. That would put this over the edge mate!

Steven so nice to have you check the track, im gaining in confidence and having the time of my life in music, the girls are brilliant and i still pinch myself at the chances they give me, im believing in myself more too, i ve sent you the link look out for it, there's 20+ now and some really good artist too, we only put it together a couple of weeks ago, it would be nice to have you join, its so easy to use and an absolute breeze to collab its all drag and drop and rapid real time instant messaging function like all the big platforms voice and text channels share pics vid of yourself playing and the guys are sharing other things too, theres lots of goodies too free, its a great side aid to anyone LM is our home this site is for collabs you can host it there but the idea is to encourage collabs then host to LM that is all our place of meeting and we don't want to be seen like were distancing, we aint no way. just making it easy and the results are incredible

on Black Sun Rising by Cybertooth
200 Tracks, I must listen to that as someone who abuses my DAW regularly. Nice use of silence as an instrument. Locrian Mode,,,Nice. This is not for the casual listener. But this is awesome for those who Studied Musical Theory and love experimental synths and sounds. Hats off to you Mate. Brilliant composition. Fav'd. The coda at 3:36 was a nice touch. Take a bow. Nice Work.
