Ohh this needs a breakbeat sound for sure for sure. I could do something massively powerful with this one.
Cru

cool; I could use a little blues tonight. And you have provided. Awesome

It is an awesome sound. It's like a merger of R&B and emo in some dark ways. Your voice is low in the key register. I am wondering can you sing an octave higher(in the chorus), because that's what you need to do to make this one over the top. (and not just with a falsetto embellished with autotune) Otherwise no one is going to pay attention to this one sadly I must say because it is a good tune.

I have been trying so hard to remember this song from back in the day. It kind of reminds me of what you are doing here. I will let the music explain itself.

Love this

Welcome richatc to the loop. I like this song. My only critique is that I want to hear your voice a little louder in the mix. (never have your guitarist do the mixdown) But it reminds me of some cool seventies bands in the UK and do you know the work of the Struts? Because it's on that level with the influence of Aerosmith.
Awesome, I shall be paying attention
Cru

Well done song. Has a Little R & B feel to it along with your side chaining. Not much to say except outstanding as usual.
Cru

I agree with all of Silverman's points. the song is sweet. If you remove the white noise you can replace it with a simple organic drum fill, that would do the trick. Then you can use a similar but not the same fill in other parts of the track to distinguish the sections. The key for my musical productions is in the percussion elements. It's what subconsciously holds the listener's interest. Add them subtly and quietly in the mix, sometimes panned far right or left (like a high hat, or a shaker), but it makes a difference. I used to suffer from reverse cymbal fever, in that I believed if I didn't have that element for a phrase change the whole thing would fall apart, but Static Nomad convinced me otherwise and he was correct, now I rarely use them. Oh Also, Right now I'm on a prolific streak of music but sometimes I have gone years without making music. I never force it. But I find if I go into a session with no plan for what I want to do sometimes inspiring things happen as well. Or choose to make a song about an abstract feeling or idea. "Today I'm gonna write a song about how the colour blue feels." for example. Silverman is right as well. Today's crap might actually be something great months or years later.

Holy Sh##T people are still making Bro-step..well as that goes this is what it should be. I like that people are still making stuff from the past.. I do as well ;-) good work.
Cru

Very good tune MR Silverman. I liked the arp bassline and the dual guitars with the chimey stuff at 2:28. Genre bending creative fun.
Cru

Spam Spammity Spam!!!!!

First and foremost you got a fav from me. Why. The song itself is beautiful , always changing, the percussion was great , interesting array of sounds mixed really well.Ed's guitar is sublime as always. You are very good at those subtle pads and strings you place quietly in the back of the mix and then bring them forward when you want to make your point. Nice sounding Piano. Well Done my friend, well done I loved it all.
Steve

Ahhh that Bass!!! I've only been to savannah once. Came down from staying in Hilton Head. Great work!
Cru

Probably one of your better tracks. Mostly because you stay in the lower ranges of your vocal stratus. When you go higher you get very "Pitchy" Flat, which is in most of your songs that you sing in in a higher plateau. That being said, you have some fundamentals of singing. Why not invest in a vocal coach. Listen; it takes balls to sing on any track, and share it with the whole wide world (I give you a million credits for doing it) . Believe me I am my worst critic of my own voice which is why you don't hear me very often sing. But you have to solve those pitch issues if your gonna demo your songs or else no one will bite when it could be an amazing song underneath. Find a vocal coach and practice..you will get better at it. I believe in you.
Cru

This is awesome. I love the drums. Sounds Metal without guitars. This Might be my favourite of your work so far.
great job.
Cru

Nice piano intro and build. 1:03 we get some percussion. Doesn't seem to build anywhere else though and I think I would put this in chill and not dancehall. I would like to hear this expanded as it's a great intro filled with build-tension and expectations. Otherwise nice work.
Cru

I would Call this more Dark Pop, but this song could easily be remixed as a deep house tune as it has certain elements that deep house needs to make it deep house, but in it's current form it's not deep house. Creepily good though my teutonic friend.
Cru

Good luck with the contest; You have a solid entry!
Cru

Love the minor 7th chords to start us off. Did I mention that Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (Flyte tyme) are a huge influence on my songwriting. Yeah this tune needs vox. it's served on a platter; for a great vocalist. great work, great songwriting Big R. 2:51 is Minneapolis sound all the way with that synth glissando downwards. D#. Same Key That Human (Human League) is in song written by JJ, and TL. Losing Prince must have been a shock to you my friend as us all. I really enjoyed this
Cru

Love this. Guitar is thrash worthy but the vox effects and stereo seperation is awesome. This defines the Rust Belt with a dark cynicism of America without question!!!
Cru

Ahh you're one of my favourites on this site and I look forward to new releases from you, that being said; this is creative as anything I've heard lately. you have a nice touch with Re-verbed FM synth sounds.
Always a fan
Cru

Hey how about responding to the "Thousand Pieces" of people liking your stuff 2 to 3 yrs ago and ...nothing.
Det er noget lort
Welcome back.. I guess?
Cru

Hey, I like the tropical feel. 1:14 seems out of place beat wise and I think it's the gain difference. Also the drops are way too prevalent. Don't get me wrong I liked what you did, but the mastering is so disparate that It made the track sound disjointed in parts. I remember doing something equivalent on my tune
"Dancing with the war drums" when I went to a quiet piano part. I had to totally remix that after everyone explained that it was too much of a contrast. But this is a cool tune so keep at it my friend.
Cru

Trippy Tune, esp the intro. good mixing, song is missing a groove to glue it all together with it's trippiness. Keep working on this one it's not finished yet.
Cru

Song is great, but the mixing and production is a wow from me. Sax sounded like it was coming in from behind me at some points. All instruments were clear and perfectly mixed. The drums sounded awesome. Mix is as clear as some Yello albums I have heard.
Cru

Ahh I miss those days of this sound!!!!! Great song!
