on Creepin by neuromancer56
I really enjoyed this one. you built on it progressively. and it delivers. my only complaint is the shimmering synths introduced at 3:24 overwhelm the mix a bit, but the idea and the execution was awesome to say the least. great work. fav'd from me.

on I Breathe by ImproveWithError
Wow Kyle, The improvement is amazing. you are getting better and better each track you produce. I like the chorus and your vocals on this one. A dramatic yet clear song that I am still playing back in my head after listening to it which is a really good sign of a hit.

Hey Steve, thanks I appreciate your compliments. I have been really trying get my songs to sound better by spending more time on them and giving them time to sit before I upload them that way I can get a fresh ear on them. Thanks again!!

on Front of my eyes by MGproduct
I like the melody, even though it could be construed aqs sad i found the energy of the second half as being hopeful and very positive. Good Work

on The God Unknown by StaticNomad
Raw Unfettered sound and emotion. Long gone is optimism and heroic sounds, but we are left with sadness sorrow and melancholy but with a restraint. This is the rawest sounds I have heard you produce in such a fashion perhaps ever. This is your Primal scream therapy. At 3:55 you sound as if you are just toying with us sonically. There is a a lot familiar melodically and sonically from you but so much new in this dark deviant sound you have created. I for one love this, this is now in my area of darkness and doom musically. A nice re-entry back into the fragmented world of looperman. 9:15 you are touching upon dark sounds. 9;40 sounds a stringed instrument used as a percussion sound, that is just simply awesome. Some nice double bass drums used tastefully throughout, and then I like the sudden ending.
Well done .

Godly greetings, Cru Diddley.

A very rare favourite from you. Praise indeed.

“sadness sorrow and melancholy”

Perhaps those but I heard it as more mystical power when making the track. I was probably fairly emotionless when making it so it didn’t feel like “Raw Unfettered sound and emotion” when playing or programming the track. I was just working with a slow tempo and emotive string and pad sounds. I was trying to make slow doom music but the mystical beauty took over, which wasn’t my intention. I tried to make it heavier but failed.

“At 3:55 you sound as if you are just toying with us sonically.”

Not sure what you mean. That’s the chillout faux g section where I keep that arpeggiated guitar VST from the previous heavy section going but with much lighter distortion.

“so much new in this dark deviant sound you have created”

The main new element is that delayed, droning, buzzy string bass sound that plays almost throughout.

“9:15 you are touching upon dark sounds.”

Yes, now we’re properly into the final, dance music end section and things are more uptempo and fun. Not mystical and brooding.

“9;40 sounds a stringed instrument used as a percussion sound”

That’s one of two music samples used here. Just one short riff from some clangy sort of stringed instrument (not sure what) that I find rather funky the way I’ve used it. Very percussive.

“Some nice double bass drums used tastefully throughout”

Well I am using a metal drum kit so I can’t help doing some double bass drumming, at various points. It’s good fun!

Thanks for the thoughts and I’m happy to give you a “nice re-entry back into the fragmented world of looperman.”

on Overmyth II - Cathedral Of The Witch by ValveDriver
How did i miss this Bitch!
Incredible energy, needs a singer. would you go in the growly direction or the helium head style of singing on this one?
Cru
ValveDriver
ValveDriver replied 4th Apr 2018 - 7 years ago
Deifinitely the growls style. I’m not entirely sure what the heliumhead style is. But if it’s what my imagination makes it out to be, it would be pretty funny.

Part 3 is in the final stages, and should be up soon. Stay tuned, my friend.

Take care.
Aaron.

on Capucine by BLEEP
Nice ambient background in the intro, then it's like sixties jazz with 40's atonality. cool in it's expression, chimes telling a diminished story. Stuttered trumpets, like a politically incorrect jazz troupe performing for all nations of fluid people and the outre religious.

on A Ghost Lives by Your Fireside by toastedavalanche
A nice simple tune that sounds great. Seems like it pushes your lower register a little bit on the singing side. No percussion is needed for this one. I like it alot
Steve

toastedavalanche replied 21st Mar 2018 - 7 years ago
Hi man. The vocals were all done in one take, I wanted a warts and all performance. I also didn't EQ out the lower register as heavily as I usually do. I agree about the percussion. This is all about simplicity. Thanks for listening.

on The Music Goes ft Michael Mayo UPDATED by darkhorsebeats
I'm liking this, it has a simplicity and sound of early synth based music from Sheffield in the seventies. one of the keys to mixing this is to leave yourself at least 6 db of headroom with the instruments . Also Partial panning in the mix is important as well as a dynamic eq balance of instruments and last but not least a tasteful use of reverb on some instruments to create space in the mix. After the mix, then add your compressors. Oh and try to use subtractive Equing instead of adding eq to the mix.

on Head Over Heels ft Kalola Kiss by vigwig
Your work is always in the esoteric, but a truly heartfelt piece of prose you wrote for this one. I always admire your I don't give a crap about what others think way of creativity. you just deliver it and let those who can understand it get it.
Well done
Cru

vigwig replied 17th Mar 2018 - 7 years ago
ya I do. I am not worrying about what people think anymore, nor any less, lol. I do try to follow the flow of what people say like the comment made about reprising some loops later in the song for continuity. Except where it would make things a little long and boring. I marvel at what I have done since it takes a big mind to remember all the loops you have and what they sound like. Have I used any of yours? vic

on Dj Arloph-Foraging- KHOISAN PURSUIT by JCJMusic
This is very cool. I love the usage of atonal as well as a-rhythmic elements musically. The Khoisan hold some of the oldest genomes of human ancestry on the planet and thus probably have some of the oldest and curious tales to tell.. I love how the percussion also mirrors the clicks found in these languages, and the feeling of Ubuntu you have created with the Bantu elements. well done!

Love the intro, the piano is sublime. Only after 1:38 do i feel the Floyd connection, it's in the chords Ed is playing. beautiful song though Leon, and Ed. Thanks for the Download.
Sublime work!

I love the verses and your voice sounds excellent there.
I can hear a Tijuana brass section playing on the chorus, that would take this over the top my friend.

Love the song, totally agree with DJSLTUK's synopsis. you have a good voice, no need to hide it with such wet effects, back down that slap echo, and you will find a much better song.

on Peace of Mind -updated by toastedavalanche
Almost has a smiths feel to it. Very cool tune. I love the usage of 7th chords. In fact the chord structure is awesome. Also how you change the feel of the tempo with the drums kicks ass as well. The vocals are like a hybrid of Joy Division, smiths and Momus.
Well done my friend.

on Alanah version 2 by Zivonmusic
The first one is much better, not a fan of the uneven glitch use in this tune.

A remix of Bryan ferry tells me that this type of filtering would work better with what you are doing.

on Alanah by Zivonmusic
Very good , I like how it builds, I agree with bleep, there is something distorted sounding in my speakers from 3.25 on. The woodpecker sound is interesting, i'm not sure if I like it or not in the tune. the piano sounds gorgeous.
good work, off to evaluate the second one.
