I really like this one ant, you have some cool mix of sounds in an organized cacophony. Dissonance is the order of the day. Brass sounds sinister, the highly verbed sub pans are very cool in the background. good work. very creative.
Cru
Geez, this is an awesome tune Joe, not exactly in the FR style as his head is squarely in the late eighties and nineties style of rave and underground K dance. This is like eighties tribal wave (I just invented that sub genre). The synth you used reminded me of Douglass Adams Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy for some reason. This is a very cool tune and I am glad u were inspired to make it.
Cru
:) I hope you had the old BBC version in your head and not this unfunny new.... the idea of alien nativ tribes could be realy a Adams thing.
Nice to hear that you like this tune.
Alot of dynamic of this one goes to Anubis. I used only 1 sample for this one but it is realy tribellike stuff that he pruduced.
I had a lot of fun doing this one, cause i didnd used my midi keys for longer times and i used my old DD-11 just to see how it works with power drums.
I love ferry terry's drumming. This is very cool and laid back and nicely mixed Alex. Swoosh effects are awesome.
I think this is my favourite work of yours so far. Fav'd for sure.
Steve
Very good song, a good song is one that stands up with just one instrument and vocals, and this one does. What direction do you see this song going in when you say "rock" and that you want to add guitar bass and drums. (what I guess i'm asking is what artist do you associate this song with the most)
Cru
Hmm. That's a good question. I was debating if it was more pop or alternative or what! I guess I'd associate it with the Killers meets Lana Del Rey if that makes any sense what-so-ever. I just want something that helps move the song away from its acoustic nature.
first of all congratulations on producing or recording your first song on this site and that you chose to share with all of us. It takes courage and of course we all want feedback and encouragement from our fellow artists. So let me begin by saying that this is a nice mellow piano progression that you wrote. I would classify this as more chillout or cinematic music than ambient but that's neither here nor there at this point. I assume by the sound of the piano that you mic'd your self playing it and dubbed over storm and summer ambiance sounds on the work. I would like you to re-record this and work on the rhythm of it, some chords you hesitate and it's obvious in the metering of this work. The chord progression is beautiful though and an excellent piece of writing. Minor keys are always so emotional sounding. If I were to expand this I would think about writing a cello part and adding some strong synth pads that grow as the song builds. (Danke is the master at creating warm inviting pad loops on this site, you should check out his selection). Overall keep working at this one as it has great potential. And welcome.
Cru
Thank you for all this great info! It was all played in via midi input from my keyboard. I used all software sounds and effects. I went back and forth with the timing, whether it should be straight on or a bit hesitant but, you are not the first to point this out so I will def address it. Ill check out what Danke has and work on building it more. Again thank you. :)
I love the bass progression, How you jump up in 5ths is very classic R&B, and yet the sounds are modern in the effects sense. Cool start to this one.
cru
Nice work on this, the bass is speaker shattering on this one. Interesting usage of electronics to give it a modern feel. I like the melding of the two genres. Nice interpretation. But then I always like when someone does something out of the box like you did here.
Cru
Thanks man I appreciate you takin a listen.. Yea I wanted to really exaggerate the bass on this one, it just seemed right for me lol. It was difficult to transition from straight funk to dubstep I ended up speeding up the tempo to 160 at the first build up and jumping back down to 140 so it would have a little more punch. Thx man!
Mark, this is just fabulous. really nice production, love the ambient intro. Love the instrumentation. Then that sweet vocal. Cascading piano is a nice touch. Then that sax,. Bass is pushing the upper limits of my speaker in the mix, maybe back it down just a smidge.. Stereo shore washing sound is nice as well. Thenb a hint of blues like guitar. The drums are nicely eq'd and compressed. Every instrument sounds so clear and concise though I really like this Mark. The groove had me moving up and down in my chair. Fav'd for sure. great job

Hi Steve,
I could not have wished for more, to receive a comment like this is so so gratifying and I mean that sincerely, and from some one as talented as you more so. As an humble looper with some keyboard skills,I thank you so much, Cheers Steve, so glad you enjoyed. PS Crucethus being played on my Belter Radio show this weekend.
Take care Steve, and my best wishes,
Mark
One Mother of a Mover this tune is. the complexities in this are brilliant. I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through and was sad when the fade out began at the end. Definitely Zappaesque. Your playing reminds me a bit of Mark King from Level 42, it's that good.
cru
Don't you love the double-post fuck-up? I've done it a few times lately and feel like an ass every time. I think Topvega did it to me a few days ago, and I did it to MetalEd a few before that. Good stuff. Keeps the blood flowing.

Holy Thanks A Million, Batman! Hard to accept such kind words. I've been fixing the drum sounds in bursts and re-uploading. I think I'm getting closer.
That makes four Zappa references. I officially need to listen to some.
Fantastic Kyle, I loved the instruments on this one. Well written song. My dad used to play old time country and this had that feel for me. nice job
cru
Hey thanks for listening to my track and commenting. I love country music, I am trying to transition into more of a country sound. I am not a very good singer but I think my voice does have more of a country sound to it. I recently bought a Telecaster and now I am trying to figure out the sound that I want, I don't have a lot of time to mess with music at the moment so it will be a slow process but hopefully I will there eventually. Anyway, thanks again, I appreciate you listening.
Beginning has a foreboding feel, then the pads kick in and I feel a Floyd vibe kicking in. Some where between Meddle and Dark side this would fit. I also am channelling a bit Pete Bardens as well. The Mix spatially is fantastic my friend. 4:00 the long slow phased pitch bent solo sound is cool. The subtle piano is not to be overlooked as well.
What eighteen said about the wineglass, I think he meant when you rub your fingers around the lip of the glass you get that deep hollow square wave flute sound which is like a pad in some ways and you have a similar sound in there as well. You sir have without a shadow of a doubt upgraded your game with this one. I look forward to hearing your creative output over the next few weeks.
Cru
Pete Bardens, believe it or not, doesn't ring a bell at the moment. Which now is even more incentive to look him up.
Thanks for clearing up the wineglass thing. Once you said that, it made sense. He's probably talking about the higher chime-like sound.
"You sir have without a shadow of a doubt upgraded your game with this one."
Which is a good thing, except now I have to work harder to top it. I guess I'll put out a few "sketchbook" tracks until I find the next one that steps it up.
Thanks for stoppin' by, mister. As always, I enjoy your visits.
Nice Clarinet on the beginning very nice, :38-41 nicks the String progression from Judas Priest's Nostradamus album, Specifically "Sands of Time-Pestilence and Plague"

Thanks for the Link Cru and hope you Listen to the Final Version when i release it and i will Check out the Song you Linked me :) thanks for dropping by and taking a listen. Take care and have a good day
Nice work, I like the change of pace for you that this one brings. I like how you added in some of your dance floor circa 1990's vibe to this as well. great work
cru
is/was BOSS a roland brand? glad you liked it anyway. I was using the module years ago with an EWI (electronic wind instrument). never used it for recording.
