Very Very good sound you have created here. Funky yet refined and tasteful. Then you kick our arses with that synth solo sound via Ultravox! and Pete Bardens. And then there is a nice distorted synth with some awesome pitch-bends. very nice work indeed. You get a fav for an awesome arrangement bridging many styles and sounds together.
Steve
You're too kind! You know i grew up with the sound of Ultravox and i have some kind of a cover of Dancing With Tears in my eyes on the Commodore 64. The funny thing was that i did not have the actual recording myself so i had to memorize the tune before i tried to create the cover.
I'm pretty sure that all my influenses is from the 80's
it's nice and U2 like in some ways without Bono's vox..(your own) which are nice. good guitar work. this is a labour of love I think. Well good work my friend.
Hey crucethus,
thanks for turning in and comment,it´s not me singing this song, wish Bono came along for this track but that´s only a wish, nothing more, nice review.
DRO
It's like the Tourettes version (in a positive way). I really like this one..nice creative work my friend. I was bobbing along to this.
all the best
Cru.
You are the old-school master my friend. I am in awe of your mixes and sounds. This was such a pleasant sound in my ears tonight. Mucho props. Fav'd est downloaded.
Cru
I dunno, i listen to your stuff and think it sounds like better old school than mine. I just chuck a load of loops together and then occasionally "paint" around them with a synth or two.
Glad you could drop in and leave your thoughts on this track.
FR
Puf Puff give Jason....hey...Jason....c'mon puff puff give Jason...Jason..you SOB...this is a pleasent mix of acoustic, and electronic and your tempered bass work. I really liked this one Evan. But Jason is still a prick..ehhh?
Cru
Jason is not a prick, but I see how you'd get that.
Jason being allowed only two hits was self imposed for self preservation. Jason does not smoke hardly at all anymore. But when he does, there is a very curious reaction.
The blood typically residing in his skull makes a mad dash south.
Destination?
Mid-calf/ankle area.
Therefor, the two hit allowance. It's part of being a responsible adult.
I recognize and have used some of these loops before. Your voice makes it very nice. almost ethereal.
I love how artists on this site take these loops and make them there own with there interpretation of the sounds. Great work!
Cru
The mic is OK the mix is slightly off. I love your voice and the pan treatment on it. That arpeggio pan needs to be further in the back round of the mix. The Bass just clouds the sounds and the vox. I hate that I don't hear your voice halfway during the mix...because it just becomes "The same Thing" so quick synopsis, I love the beginning and your voice, better mix and you have a cool tune. lose the rappers (not that I dislike rap) there not going to help you as you have a great voice, just make a traditional song.
Cru
Sorry, I didn't understand a lot of that comment. I didn't record the beat, as I said in the description, I just recorded the hook for it. I was considering it, and I might make a version without rap, but I wanna play around and see where it could go.Thank you for your feedback!!!
It is interesting. Today I was listening to early Atari Teenage Riot with their invented genre digital hardcore. I see some similarities in your music with some of theirs but not quite as biting. I enjoyed this nevertheless as it has an interesting vibe to it
Cru
Please master this one. it is worthy. You have entered Static Nomad zone in terms of funky jam vibes. most appreciated the bass line on this one. Acoustic guitar is very nice as a background element. all-together a well thought out and recorded song. I look forward to hearing the finished product. The chord changes are amazingly progressive. Steve
hey Steve
thanks for your kind compliments.
glad you appreciated the bass movements! :)
i'll finish it for sure at some point and then i will send you the tune if you want. cheers man!
OMG, just listening to this. And I can hear it in my head what would send this one over the top. You need a strong bassline that plays off of the suspended chords and moves. That would make this genius. (think bass from Sade Adu like songs)
Steve
I like the filtered transition at :48. This feels very eighties to me, and I love me some eighties music. I love 1:40 and the edits on the bassline. It would be interesting if you could add some slap echo on the je t'aime vox. 2:24 is nice and gritty. liking that section. or should I say J'aime cette sector. Nice work overall
Steve
Thx Steve. Appreciate the feedback. I'm gonna try out that slap echo. If it works out, I might edit and upload cause there is one other section that I'm thinking about altering also.
I like the simplicity of this one. I can also hear adding a massive percussion and guitar attack at about 3:02 that would just take this song to the stratosphere. Sort of like Judas Priest with there song Angel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtNBKX4Dtwc&html5=1
Hola! I just checked out that link. Awesome stuff. I am not sure if I could pull that off but hey, if you ever have some free time ha, have at it! I would love to see that. I know you could pull it off. Thanks much for checking it out.

"Now you are killing me - arrange it more complex? I already outdid my capacity here I think, it was really hard to get it all together with that crazy beat and the vocal behaving very stubbornly...
But I'll try!"
Remember that's what Robert "Mutt" Lange, would say to all his artists. "Just do one more take. do it again". It just pushes us and makes us better and we learn more. look at how far you have come so far. It's a nice tune, but I think you could make it better.
@GramoChopin " I find it a little odd Crucethus wants to hear this more complex. I think it already sounds nicely arranged, the end skipped a bit though"
The reason I think this way is I have already thought of some ways that the sound could be built upon the basic structure. to me it would sound interesting. Sort of how Bach starts out simple and add's layers of complexity in his exercises. Our artist has come a long way and is becoming an excellent looper. I am only there for her as a support and my suggestions may seem harsh, but there not. I have great faith in this one in that she will be even better. @ Steve, we should have a count to see how many Steve's are really on this site, be interesting to know?
And I will.
I also have some more ideas for this one, for the drum line in particular and some of the melodies and mixing.
It could be the club edit...hahaha - well now I'm dreaming here but I'll try it anyway.
Now you are killing me - arrange it more complex? I already outdid my capacity here I think, it was really hard to get it all together with that crazy beat and the vocal behaving very stubbornly...
But I'll try!
It's a bit monotonous with that beat all over. And I was going to add more complex melody upon the synth but got a headache and decided to post it like this.
However - challenge accepted.
I really appreciate you listening to the new version my friend! While I wasn't drunk, I was intending on an intoxicated vibe... lets compromise and call it "skunken" lyrics. Thank you for your comment!
LOLOL....well that don't sound half bad at all!!! I'm happy to know you enjoyed the track, and thanks so much for stopping by! Hope all is well with you and your music!
Nice funky tune, but your vox is lost in the mix. I wanna hear you dominate this blusey ballsy sound. You need to maximize that in the mix to make this perfection.
As my mum is of an age when she might leave us in the near future. I can really feel this tunes ethos. But I don't hear all sadness. I hear a lot of joy as well. good memories, joyous memories that will stay with you the rest of your life. Music is such a healer and release of emotions, I am so glad you can express that in musical form.
Best wishes
Steve
Hi Steve, yes you have reflected exactly how I felt putting this together. Such situations are a mix of sadness, relief and the joy that suffering has ended. This piece basically depicts my bedside vigil through my Mums final days.
Thanks for your nice comments.
This is a nice dark foreboding tune, and I like it. I just spent last weekend watching a belly dancing recital for 3.5 hours with very traditional arabic music. this follows some of those modal scales but with a nice electronic twist so well done.
Oh Danke! Das ist schön zu hören das du das Lied gut findest.
"Meine Art von Reggea"
klingt in meinen Ohren irgendwie komisch. Denn es ist mehr oder weniger der erste, ernst zunehmende Versuch von mir, einen Reggea zu machen. Vieleicht sollte ich mich öfters mal mit einer mir nicht so vertrautem Musikrichtung experimentieren.
Thanks much for taking a listen! I'm especially fond of the bass in this one, just two loops by two different people, which have just some subtle differences, but compliment eachother when used as sections. Definitely considering some vocal work on this after the challenge is finished. I appreciate you support!
