on Floor Killer by Mark Jeffries by larrywiggles1

Pet shop Boys meets High N er G movement of the eighties. Nice work, good use of vocals. awesome stereo mix of the synth stabs. Myself I have been awash in eighties nostalgia listening to early Dead or Alive lately. So this is a welcomed listen.
good work.

on Letters by Livingsoulsdie

Ahh that piano loop. I have used it as well and it's just brilliant. You have made a beautiful interpretation to lead to dubstep. good work. I agree the end needs to be fixed. Awesome production BTW.

on The Future Cat by Byleth

Somebody had a little too much time today ehh? It gets breathtakingly scary in the second half in a brilliant way. Those synth stabs and orchestra hits mon dieu! This is what nations need to play too each others militaries at the front line to discourage them from fighting.
great creativity, I think you have found the trouble you have been looking for!
Cru

Byleth replied 9th Aug 2015 - 11 years ago

Thanks dear Cruce, hope you know why I put this on weird XD

the Stabs sounds is from Mortal kombat and the stab melody is from a deep place in my brain I have to admit this is pretty confusing having those persistent stabs and the Nyan cat melody in background.

I think this will be the most overpowered weapon to force them to listen this days and nights could make them crazy.

And I was a bit raging about Razing Time concept so I made that one to relax XD.

Hope you somewhat enjoy that remix of nyan cat !

Peace

on IMAGES OF THE PAST by Planetjazzbass

So I played this last night and needed a few hours to absorb what I just listened too. Fantastic work. The arrangement, the instruments the production, the composition itself, the instrument choices all brilliant in there execution. The sustained low piano notes lend a nice ominous effect on the tune. I liked that as well as the space (rotary?) Hammond organ. Reverse guitars reminded me a bit of Phil Manzanera and your Bass was sublime and funky. Fav'd and downloaded (TY)

Hey Steve thanks man!..I'm not sure exactly what vst's Zappo uses with his midi keyboard,though I'm thinking your spot on with the Hammond rotary....I always really dig his instrumentation especially the horn parts he plays,you'd be stretching to improve on them with a real horn section!...thanks again for your kind words mate..cheers Dave and Detlef. :)

on Tripwire Valley by Evisma

There is an almost zeppelin (acoustic) like quality to the opening of this. Then it goes into "riverdance" territory...not that's a bad thing. It certainly got my Irish blood boiling for a fight. I like the guitar treatments at 2:00 on. Good use of delay as well. 3:00 on has a repeating synth sound that is cool and dominates the extro until the flanged guitar sayonara!

Nice work overall. made me want to eat some Lucky charms but dammit, I live in Canada and they are not in my local grocery!
Peace

sCRUples!

"an almost zeppelin...like quality"

That is one of the finest things ever said about one of my measly tracks. Thank you. It's not mandolin, but it's some pretty high acoustic stuff.

"3:00 on has a repeating synth sound"

Those are guitar notes that are processed on my pedal, doubled, then one double was lowered an octave. I like how it worked. I also liked how it sounded reversed in the outro.

No Lucky Charms?!?! That is criminal! Not a huge fan, but liked them when I was a kid. I buy "Total" now, but if I do want something sweet from the kids section, I get "Honeycombs". Loved them since I was a kid,(Thanks to my Great-Grandmother).

Thanks for the listen and the feedback.

on Xyilent - Hours by XyIlent

nice pads. Then the beat comes in, but perfect for the chill lounge, I think if you filtered out the pads, but bring them back up with the arpeggios you will have a winner. Very clever tune you have made. I like it a lot. Maybe from 4:39 on a cool synth solo. Just some ideas. Great work!

on Xyilent - Hours by XyIlent

XyIlent replied 13th Jul 2015 - 11 years ago

Yeah im working on filter on the pads, see if i can get it sounding cool.
A synth solo could be a good idea, was looking to get an another melody in here somewhere and that would be a good way to do it, so yeah ill prob do that :)

Thanks man! :)

on Bosswalk by donnorris

Yep that's, classic deep house circa 2000 NYC Tenaglia or Calderone would be spinning that. Could have even ended up on Twisted records. You nailed the essence of it with that remix, great Job.

on Waiting by DijamMusic

Hey Jamid, I don't hear the distortion AsidRN is hearing. I am listening in the studio on a pair of Bose 2.4's from 1986, which reproduce natural sounds awesome. Overall though very nice work, I like the bass lines on this one.
Cru

DijamMusic replied 11th Jul 2015 - 11 years ago

Hello mate,
How you doing, thanks for your feedback mate.
Yes, he had me doubting my hearing.
I could not detect any distortion at all.
Thanks again

I see Ed got his wah on!! Awesome.
Great work. Sax is mixed nicely in the background.
good work.

PDMuzak replied 12th Jul 2015 - 11 years ago

Thanks for the comments. Ed is always a joy to work with. He has a lot of expression in his style.

Good Work.

on My03 - Midiman007 - Stereophonic Sounds 80 and 90 by midiman007

Wow that takes me back, those drums were so late eighties early nineties. And that DX7 Mod wheel sound. I remember playing in a High School band playing the keys for Jody Watleys "looking for a New Love". Also The Latin Rascals Remixes used these drum styles heavily. Great Guitar sound and solo. Awesome job guys!
Cru

midiman007 replied 12th Jul 2015 - 11 years ago

Thanks for the positive feedback. It really means a lot when we here people like our tunes. I wish I could take all the credit on this but My03 was the originator on this. I just did the guitar since he is a master on keyboards.

I stopped by your lopperman link I like your tunes you play keys well.

on Hey Komm doch mit by joecramer

Pleasant tune you made there my friend. I like the softness of it. our voice treatments are very seventies sounding (folk groups) which is perfect. I like the synth melody after the verses. Nice structuring. I would pull it out of Drum and bass and put it in folk music. yes the drums are a little D&B like but the overall feel of the song belongs in folk.
Good job
Steve

joecramer replied 10th Jul 2015 - 11 years ago

Hello Crucethus

Thanks for your listen and your comment.

I had the same in my mind - folk - thats why i wrote "Drum and Chill Folk" but i believed that the first comment would be a - this isn´t folk, it has a d&b drumset - :)

"our voice treatments are very seventies sounding"
this is realy cool, ´cause you know that i am normaly more a 80´s child.

Nice to know that you like the song and this little synth melody.

stay tuned

on Future in the Past by Planetjazzbass

Sousa like intro melds into a cool ambient dissonant beginning. 1:25 says hello to us with bass delights and then some deviant pads. Piano at 2:20 is a light touch. I love the light percussive elements as well, well thought out. 2:52 has a Floyd like guitar approach. I love the sound of a fret-less bass. I wish more musicians use them on modern music. I have tried to emulate them using synths and a healthy working of the pitch bend but you can't mistake that unique sound. @4:48 we get some synth (g-tar?) sounds that emulate radio waves and whale song, cool. The arrangements are sublime. our music is giving me a nice feeling of Zen this evening. I can discuss the technical issues all night, but to describe how a certain piece effects you emotionally is the real test. 7:09 is a nice feedback sound which you subtly add but at a lesser gain in the next 30 seconds of the piece. And we End with Sousa...like Sousa took acid and saw the future....anyhow hats off to yah, A jar of Vegemite to you Dave, and a Jar of Marmite (Cenovis, Vitam-R) to Detlef.
Great work
Steve

on DJ Lady Faith Ft Esteban - Break Free EDC Master by BradoSanz

Not a big fan of hardstyle, but your voice sounds good in this. reminds me of. Tony Hadley (Spandau Ballet). Marc et Claude....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWWNTCyc1aE&html5=1
Your voice would work with many genres.

on When The Fight Starts by MOONLYTE

I would try vocals. This has shades of Carl Orff's "O Fortuna" from "Carmina Burana" which Enigma (michael Cretu) so Brillianty used for "The Gravity of Love". That song may give you some guidance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXFSK0ogeg4&html5=1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSTV99Uy8hk&html5=1
But ultimately this is very good.

I do hear very small similar things, and I now know what the epic song used in so many things is called haha. Thanks for listening

Why your a serious musician now..because when your given constraints..you make something out of it due to your obsession to music. If I had a badge I would give you one.

on Comanchera by Neomorpheus

yeahhhhhhh!!!!! I love ZZtop, But I love the fact Billy Gibbons was influenced by Hendrix. This is a nice Blues Guitar sound you have created, that reminds us of Tejas! But it does need drums......
I liked it though.
Keep on Keepin!
Cru

Neomorpheus replied 12th Jul 2015 - 11 years ago

Not entirely sure if Billy's playing was that influenced by Jimi but anybody playing blues or guitar for that matter at the time would certainly have taken some kind of interest in Hendrix. Billy began playing with the Moving Sidewalks who actually opened for The Jimi Hendrix Experience during their first American tour. Interesting you mention Tejas. It's one of my favorite ZZ Top albums and the song Asleep in the Desert influenced the idea for this track. Nobody digs my drums on this ....(pouting)?
Thanks a bunch for the comment Cru.
