First of all in the "This Sound Bad On Tv" you know he used few of the sounds from my track so " I don't like the synths (orchestral melody)" I let you imagine my feelings
Second of all, thanks for this feedback For some reason I do not find the word to continue so i will stop this reply right now.
Peace

Thanks for the comment,I had some great artists contributing to this track.
This is one of those tracks that you get so wrapped up in playing and mixing that you truly don't appreciate and enjoy until way after the song is finished,it was such a pleasure to play on this one.
It was so easy to add guitar to but I remember hours of mixing,even all night and still questioning myself.I mixed and played through cheap headphones and when I heard it through a big system for the first time I thought it was all wrong but it was finished so I let it be but now the more my ear changes with slightly better phones my perception is a little better and comments like yours confirms it and I appreciate your review so much.
Hey,did I mention that all guitar parts were played guitar through a cheap Zoom FX pedal and all parts were mixed through a Tascam 8 track..lol,even the sax was sent dry and I added only the built in reverb in the recorder..I only used my old windowsxp computer to convert the wave to mp3 with Audacity...primitive but it worked.Like I said before,it helps a lot when all the collaborators do their part,they knew they could only depend on me for guitar and ears lol!
Thanks again for your comment.

on Happy Beat by Joshuamaybe
Very familiar style in the sense that this is a retro sound from the eighties using modern soft synths.

is a great example of this.
Thanks for the trip!

on The Wang Of Disdain by Evisma
On the music, the drums are cool and give you a sense of guarded anticipation. The melody is almost like an orchestral arrangement. I really enjoyed listening to this one. It feels there was a true purpose in your writing this. I could see this as background music to an action-packed movie based on the building of the rail-road out west by Chinese labourers.

Cruniversely appealing
It'll be the kind of track you listen to for about 3 seconds, then tune out the rest when you realize there will be no substance at all for it's duration.
Glad you liked the track. Thanks for the listen and the kind words.
Take care.

One hand hitting the other is the sound you should receive for such a great tune my friend.

Thanks for the comment: I have to admit that I don't know who Carlos Alomar is ... I just googled for it and of course I have heard his guitar: Young Americans and Station from Station are two of my all time favorites (actually everything from Bowie... really everything... I know I am a desperate case: I even liked the Thin Machine).
So, thanks again for the kind words!
Ciao, Domenico

on Emperor Tritone by StaticNomad
Nice sinister opening. Percussion is restrained and appropriate for this opening. Kind of a spooky sound in the begining (Which is awesome). Groove is phenomenal. first 2:30 felt like 30 seconds.
3 mins on I may have weed myself a bit.( remind me from now on to wear diapers when listening to your music) dark and bitter and groovy and spooky are the only words I can think of.
Ahh 3:52 here comes the warm metal jets. Ooh nice bringdown to the bass only and back to the metal shuffle.
The metal is intense now and really awesome. It think Val-d should like this.
5:52 is an awesome jazz-like breakdown. you have really out done yourself my friend.
7:30 is a nice silent moment.
class and perfection throughout.
love the ending
Congratulations on a great piece of artwork my friend.
Too Cool to be Cru
One of my favourite Evisma comments was on my track Valvedriven regarding some badass riffage: "Anus devastated through shit speed". So perhaps you got off lightly here.
The evils synth horn around 2:55 has some anal harmonics added after I smuggled proprietary software out of Guantanamo Bay and modified it. It was intended for "enhanced interrogation procedures" but didn't quite work as they hadn't hit on the jazz-metal formula. I guess they're DOD scientists, not musicians.
I thought you'd appreciate the opening single spooky synth note and then restrained swing cymbally stuff before the groove gets going properly. Good to hear first couple of mins flew by.
"dark and bitter and groovy and spooky"
Yes, all of those except for bitter. More joyously evil than bitter.
"warm metal jets" is a term I like. Not thought of that before.
4:12 down to the bass and it sounds really ominous and dark there. A Rhodes chord and we're back into face being smeared into concrete. That's a Valvedriver phrase and he should indeed like this. Gotta be dark enough (in places) for him.
5:52 just simplish return to smooth groove jazz. I had more of it so it had to return. Mostly because I wanted to get the metal in earlier on rather than all jazz for 5 mins and then into metal for a couple.
7:30 one of my Nomad breakdown tricks there. I sometimes really struggle to join sections together. Many times I've eventually made it work but sometimes I just decide to have a short pause, let the delay ring out and then go back into a fat beat. Also helps break up my beat heavy tracks a little, giving the listener a brief rest.
I hope you noticed that Rhodes is distorted in this at various points. Not sure I've heard Rhodes metal before. Piano metal, yes.
7:31 back to big emphasis on the tritone. This end section could have crushing guitar but I left it out to allow Rhodes and bass guitar to do most of the work. Chillout dark jazz-metal there, all topped off by a massive metal fill at 8:16. New snare too.
This is definitely jazz-metal, not metal-jazz but now you've encouraged me to do the latter so will have to do a metal track lurching into jazz. Kind of the opposite of this one.
You should form a gang/band - The Cru Crew. Or maybe the Too Cru Crew.
Thanks for the words, as always, and glad you enjoyed the jazetal.
