on Smoke and Mirrors by Zootman
Nice etheral Intro, Almost Tori Amos like during her Cocaine period. I like the ambient break at 1:10. if you could bring that reverbed sound down there and let that Drum guitar sound in and then slowly fade that back in to the ending I think it would go a long way. Very cool tune, very interesting. loved it and fav'd

Hi there, thanks for listening mate. Might come back to it sometime but kinda busy with work etc hence the late reply too. Hope all is well with you, I know you had a rough period for a while there.

thankyou Steven, its great to see you around, in your breaks from the loop, lots of talented artists and producers have linked with me, guided me taught me, i have a lot of work as their vocalist in my profiles, just like you Doc' you seen something raw 4 years ago maybe, its now starting to show, this is a perfect example of what you can achieve, if you try. all the work is studio produced in Devon and Germany, try this one Manuela and the girls asked me to collaborate, its why i done this for Manuela too, and the fact we've built a good friendship. thanks again, your another of my closest mate, you know the meaning of friends when you need 'em

Hey Mate. This is awesomely produced. I love how you FXed the Vox. I will be watching the match Tommorow, no offense to Rita, but lets kick some dutch arse ehh?

hi Cru, thanks for the feedback, i have the master and vocal master saved as presets from this, i was really happy with it myself, and im so ready for the match, it'll be a tough old game, there will be a great atmosphere, 30+ thousand England fans and anticipated 100.000 Dutch, England need to win its expected by us, we haven't played well yet, the countries up for it, but it'll be squeaky bum :))

on For the Hollow Men - feat Steelyvibe by EricMilligan
Mate, I don't care what anyone else has suggested for you as the way you should do Trance. This is epic. This might be the most creative soulful trance (Chill) tune you have ever made. The mixing is on point, I was captivated by the opening salvo. Chefs Kiss! You should be very, very proud of what you have made. Holding out that sub-bass at the end is genius as well. Fav'd and downloaded it. I immediately thought of this new artist
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTP-H2c9MNQ
I haven't heard anything this creative and compelling Since Roxy Music's premiere album. What you just made is the future, and not the nostalgic past of trance. Bravo!

EricMilligan replied 4th Jul 2024 - 1 year ago
Thanks for the high praise, Steve! You really were the impetus for the track. Would have been very disappointing if you hated it! :)

I will check out the new artist you referenced. You must spend a reasonable amount of time listening, not just making music. You seem to know about a lot more contemporary artists in a lot more genres. I probably should do more listening as well, although it's great to have your guidance.

Love that Intro, Smoothly Psychedelic. Well done tune I enjoyed my listen. Tracktion, I remember playing around with that DAW in Linux a few years back, Good work.

Thank you for the nice feedback! Yes Tracktion works quite well for me, relatively "light" on my old computer resources compared to other ones I tried

on This Cities a Monster by dimestop
Very Cool Mate, BTW Congrats on beating Serbia in the Euros. Your getting some smoother controls over your voice. You are able to sustain without vibrato which is not easy to do. Keep on Brother!
dimestop
dimestop replied 18th Jun 2024 - 1 year ago
thanks for the listen cru, it was a nervous watch against Serbia. we always start shit, we have the talent but do they have the nerve, the opening 30 minutes was positive but then we resorted to same old same old sitting deep and trying to defend a lead instead of going for the throat, Trent Alexander didn't work in midfield and Foden was shit none existent, im a massive footie fan im 58, i was 3 months old last time we won anything,
and yeah my vocals are improving . thanks for the positive comments Steven its always appreciated

on Disco Boo by EricMilligan
Oh I forgot, You being a fan of Trance Music, and also having that Irish last name, you may enjoy this master mix of Chicane and Clannad. Saltwater.

Arguably the greatest Trance tune ever made.

Steve: thanks so much for connecting me with the music of Chicane. You are right, I really do like Trance a lot, but I really only have a superficial knowledge about it, frankly. Had never heard of Chicane or the track, Saltwater. Just spend a couple of hours learning about him and listening to his music. Definitely my kind of music for sure. Is (almost) inspiring me to try once again to make a Trance track worth listening to.

on Take My Breath Away by deanp
There is a lot to like about this one. You need some good mastering (Izotope) software now. The EQ is great on the bottom end, maybe a touch reduction on the High Hgh end. but very good indeed.
Some examples to strive for.

on CLICHE by Mykael
Hey Mykael, I see that you are making, not completely Country, but I find some similarities with (Rock and Roll Hall of Fame) Roxy Music. Here is an album cut that this song reminded me a bit of the style you are heading toward, though this has that late seventies sound.

Thanks so much for stopping by a listening to my very rough track. I listened to that Roxy Music track and I see what you mean. I have never heard it before, I really dig it. Be Well!

Awesome mix, kinda modern disco, but you need those Orchestra string sweeps from the TSOP era to really make this feel authentic.

Thanks Steve. You are right. Need more strings, and French horns, and flutes and wah wah chunky-chunk rhythm guitar. Going to give that some thought. Thanks for the links. I am enjoying where you took me with them.

on AI Is Sex And violence by ValveDriver
Lovely intro, and then the meat of the song comes in. In My Day job, I am trying to grasp how to introduce AI as a useful tool for your business needs. So far I love the Editing functions in Word, not convinced that I can create something new in Power Automate, but it does a great job repairing. I have created a few bots in Copilot Studio that seem to get dumber, not smarter. So all is not doom and gloom Cylons or Skynet taking over the world. That Guitar solo underneath after 4:00 is awesome BTW. I want this as the music for my slideshow at my funeral. (Dark thought). Great song Mate, good to hear you on this lovely nihilistic space you have created. Mr. C. certainly sounds like an evil character in a Bond movie who counters Bond by Drinking White Negronis and has an eye patch (I do not in real life have an eye patch).
ValveDriver
ValveDriver replied 25th Apr 2024 - 1 year ago
As with anything that's ever been invented or developed, it has it's pros and cons. And since the Valvedriver aesthetic is a dark and foreboding one, I chose to highlight the dysptopian overlord sci-fi angle. Personally, I do believe that there are a lot of good uses for AI. I'm not familiar with the things you mentioned, but from an artists standpoint, AI art is abso-f'ing-lutely awesome! As long as it's labeled as such. I have played with some of it for my own entertainment. I've even used it for inspiration for some of my own paintings/drawings.

"...and has an eye patch (I do not in real life have an eye patch)."

I say get one. I don't believe it's written anywhere that a fella can't just get an eyepatch. I mean, Willy Wonka didn't need a cane... Just sayin'.

on You Already Knew by Micky
The Bass is killer on this one Mate! I am a huge Heaven 17 fan. I know they did a few Remixes for ( We don't need this) Fascist Groove thing back in the late nineties. I am reading Electronically Yours Part One from Martyn Ware as we speak. I would love to hear what you bring to the table with that tune. Great job Mate!

Micky replied 23rd Apr 2024 - 1 year ago
Yes, I don't get a commitment to do the number. I think it's already stuck with the sub labels that manage their rights here. But I don't want to do it without permission of some kind. I think for use only at LM I could try and do it. Thanks for listening.

on Your just a loop jockey by dimestop
So Musically, I enjoyed the laid-back vibe. You nailed the consonant-to-rhythm vibe I have been clamoring aboot to you for so long. So good Job there. Remember you have come a long long way my friend and are still growing. I like Cinco de Mayo as well and I am glad to see there is no lingering beef. You are both handling this in a professional adult-like way and that makes me happy. Now about those Spliffs. Come to Canada. We have the most open and relaxed laws on Cannabis. I prefer when I need to relax (at my age a Magnesium melatonin supplement works) I like a nice edible beverage. We are deciding whether or not to allow those (2.5mg) in the public like you would buy a beer. It's coming. However I do appreciate the 10mg for the home. Keep it up mate and pretty soon Drake will have beef with you ehh? Great work !
dimestop
dimestop replied 20th Apr 2024 - 1 year ago
thanks for the positives Steven Canada is really relaxed about its use, seen lots of documentaries on the subject and i think you got it right. i understand its not for everyone but when people can go out drink copious amounts of alcohol cause a disturbance fight and damage property fight and insult police throw up all over the streets get locked up overnight and released when your sober with a talking to, no charge, but you could be sent to prison for smoking a JOINT, its stupidity. they tie everything together and think cannabis is the gateway to stronger things like heroin or crack. its just an excuse and ignorant, they been saying the same thing for 50 years theres no substance to these claims theres far stronger and more damaging prescribed drugs that do more damaged including smoking cigarettes

it was just a bit of fun the Cinco reference, he's a great guy in our community, no beef from me, just my funny side. keep listening mate :))

on The Unbegotten feat Twanna by Micky
Beautiful Intro. Bringing those vocals to fade in is a brilliant choice. Such a slick cool mix.Pardon my stream of thought-like approach to commenting. Such thoughtful placement of arps and rhythmic synths and guitar-like sounds. That slide guitar reminds me of some Chris Rea remixes I have heard. This song gets a Fav. This is just a really Tasteful song, excellent job at the end I almost had some Bryan Ferry "Is your love strong enough " vibes with a David Gilmour guitar-like twist.
Cheers

on The helicopters by bringerofDOOM
I love where this is going, there is great potential to grow this one, be careful with using repetitive melodies, you need to break up the Percussive elements every 2 measures to give us some thoughts of what we might be building to. I love the analog synth sound, well done. I have found listening to others using such a harsh kick, that eventually fairing it with a crisp High hat adds to the tension. Good Work.

bringerofDOOM replied 5th Apr 2024 - 1 year ago
Thanks for listening and commenting. I've been listening to a lot of old acid breaks and new acidcore. I thought of adding a high hat, though lately I've been questioning whether to conform to or intentionally subvert genre norms, or genre in general. It's hard to say.

Thanks again for listening, gonna catch up on ur newer stuff.
