yes sir my friend you have a good ear upon creating the track it needed that feel good element and that sample fit the bill thanks for checking out my track one love fam

Greetings!

Louis CK is funny as hell. Jizzanthipuss is probably my favorite from him. Never thought of the word "Vagina" being a verb, but I guess "Dick" is, so why not? I've heard "Dick this bitch up" several times.

Archie Bunker was great with the accent, though I believe his character was living in Queens.

The Tidewater accent is nearly the Arkansas accent when combined with whiskey and the already prevalent inbreeding and rapid tooth loss.

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! :)

Cheers Cru,
Real happy you like it ,and great praise to say it could be on twisted !
ime quite new on here an ive a few more you should like . watch this space

Thanks for the re-greet Cru.
I happen to have a lil relative story of my own that I've decided to lay on you...

Several years ago I worked for a company here in Dallas called Showco, that designed and built sound stage set ups for concerts. Later I also worked on the development of an off-shoot venture of theirs that spawned Vari-Lite, which revolutionized stage lighting. One of the first bands to take interest in Vari-Lite was ZZ Top. My boss at the time, lets call him "Happy", grew up in Houston and went to school with Billy. "Hap" had a few acres of land south of big D, and well...had him a nice bumper crop of home grown. One day Billy and Frank showed up at the facility to approve the lighting designs for their upcoming "Eliminator" tour. Billy came in wearing this flamboyant baby blue satin jumpsuit with a white cowboy hat and brand new Tony Lama ostrich skin cowboy boots. Long story short, Hap jumped in a limo with the boys and retreated to his south 40 for a brief respite. When they returned, in walks Billy with his boots covered in red Texas mud and the whole ass end of his pants ripped out. "WTF happened !", we all asked. Billy just said "A little mishap with security down at Rancho Texacano". Translation: His muddy boots lost their grip while crossing the barbed wire fence that bordered a special portion of Haps property. We all laughed till we cried, and was glad he was sporting underwear! They later named one of their best-of albums after Hap's Hacienda. Lots of craziness and fun times back then. Maybe I will recount a few more when the time is right - only here on Looperman.

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

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

Always possible, thanks!

Hi Cruce, thank you for giving your valuable feedback on this track! Totally prepared to admit a fondness for New Order... in fact their records and tapes are some of my prized possessions. Been listening to my "Brotherhood" tape since 1990. I have mixed feeling about their very early stuff, when still in mourning from Ian Curtis's death... it seemed like they were still trying to be Joy Division, and it's a bit sad... but then you could say the same thing about me. Even more frustrating is that Hook has left the band now... The other groups you mentioned, I only have a fleeting impression of their work, and do not own any of it. I think I do realize the capturing of an era you speak of, but I'm trying to take it in a different direction... Such as the musical results of performer who was meant to die in their 20's, but somehow arose from all the risky situations alive still. Borrowed time, borrowed money, freedom to do what shouldn't have been possible. I think you get it. Thank you again!

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.

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

9,000 greetings to you, Mr Cru Dawg.

Thanks for Cruising by my little pop tune.

I'll be honest and say that I kind of re-featured it as you hadn't commented and I wondered what you made of it. No new tracks from me currently as I'm struggling over a few (and going through a very fallow musical period) so thought this was a good one to re-feature.

"the bass is always moving"

Note all the lead bass g in this (hence the Evisma dedication) though there's always synth bass underneath as that lead bass is way too thin so bottom end is needed to beef this up.

"I don't wear hats"

I do (one at a time) so I'm taking mine off right now and doffing it towards myself to save you the bother.

"you invent your own sounds that are very unique to you"

Yes and no. I use a shitload of presets (remember: almost all my synth work comes from Reason) and never start with only a basic patch and make it more elaborate. I'm good at controlling a few synth parameters and using them effectively though I'm not at all knowledgeable about synths and their programming.

I guess I also come up with some unique bass, guitar, and banj sounds through my processing of them but would say the main sounds I "invent" are the combination of all of these different sounds into what sometimes sounds like a single, layered sound. Difficult to explain.

Subtle key change to D minor was me realising a key change was required as the track was starting to feel a bit monotonous. D is my main key so very easy to slip back into.

"Nice Fuzzy guitar solo"

I guess that would be the bass guitar with distortion plugin turned on at around 9:24. It's just the same sort of playing as the section before but with added distortion and crashing drums. All part of me extending things more and more but I've made it sound like it's a new part

"your musical instinct is in the genius level"

Hard to know quite what to say to that except thanks. I don't know what I'm doing but I'm able to listen and hear quite deeply within riffs and grooves and then find interesting ways to work off them. So many limitations and failures but with enough time and editing I can come up with things that make me sound better than I really am.

"End on that last note, the extra quiet sounds are not needed"

I will have a good think about that.

Take care of thyself.

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

Hello Steve!
I'm proudly accepting the imaginary badge, thank you!
=D

Have a great summer and take care/ SJ =)

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.

Glad you liked the new version.

Hope all is well in Chillville!

Thank you for your kind comments.
I love that slow blowy s̶e̶x̶ sax!
I've got this mad desire to create images.
Lately I've used a clock a heart beat an engine white noise for a breathing pump but only very subtly ... apart from the heartbeat that wasn't subtle.
Having to listen to this stuff over and over and over some more while building it up should come with a health warning.
The heart one I swear I had palpitations.
This one I've stamped some of the plaster off the wall under my desk!
Thank you for your time Cruce.

Hey Steve,

Really glad to hear from you and checking out your kind words. It's much appreciated.

Cheers,
Scott

Thanks...
A few things I'm not sold on yet, I think the bouncing guitar
maybe just a little to bouncy... If you get my drift...
I intend to kick it around a bit more...

Thanks again for stopping in and commenting...

Peace...TG.

Hello Cru,
Thank you very much for your feedback I appreciated.
I am glad you liked it.

Dear Cru you know me, I love making original genre.

Hope there will have soon a Fairy-Tale Metal tag on looperman :)

By bells do you means the first instrument ? because a lot of my friends says its bells but in reality its a piano with a lot of fx anyway thanks for the feedback about the "bells"

Again the guitar issue, In fact I was not prepared for my challenge so I used the vsti sytrus (comes with my daw) to make my electric guitar.

If someone who have a real electric guitar I could maybe give him the note so he/she will be able to make real guitar sounds for my song. Im sorry but I think for now its all i can do for the electric guitar (out of my skills).

Rest In Peace dear fellow friend
