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!
Intro is just amazing (speechless) and "Old is cool" 1:15 is like a gentle slow motion smack in the face, then a dizzying change in percussion thats just perfection. Good build up. You are giving a schoolin! to these youngsters on this era of dance music. I love how the scream is more maniacal than most dance music screams. Nice ring mod (sounds like a Korg Kaos Pad). Then the drums get heavy and we fade things out and make a mix at 3:30. I would love to work with the first part and add some ideas. The sign of a great song for me that stimulates my own creativity. The second part is a good house tune in it's own right. The vocals are sweet mix reminds me of Ratty. Synths are sweet on this one. At this point I have to fav it. Ok now on to sound 3 . Synth bass is funky but I think I would like to hear it louder in the mix. The popping sounds are a bit too much I think. Nice fill. With the vocals, at the end of her phrase you need to counterpoint it with a synth that mimics the melody. Judas Priest is famous for this with there guitars mimic-ing rob Halfords vox in this way. The third song has great potential to be such a dark and foreboding dance tune if you work at the arrangement on it. All in all I loved what you did here and my hat's of to you my good man for so far this is the best of my listening this evening.
First of all thanks for commenting. Secondly if you wanted to add some flavours to the first bit i could break it up into parts and mail it over to you. Just contact me via the site and i'll sort it out.
As for part three, some people are saying they like it but i don't i think it needs scrapping and a restart (It's not that easy to get three good riffs in a row without f**king it up in places)
Cheers for dropping by.

Well, that wasnt too obscure. I've never heard it though. I couldn't help but notice how stripped down that remix is. It seems like Latino music worked its way into the mainstream and had an impact on 80's synth music.
Awesome ! There was a movement for about a year that incorporated a latino sound in dance music in about 1982 and 83, songs like A.E.I.O.U.and later songs like Come go with me, Fascinated, Li'l Louis French Kiss. which led to remix troupes like the latin rascals in the mid late eighties. Great memories and nice work.
Steve
Thnx man! Starting to know who's who around here and I like your work and respect your opinion. I'm glad you gave it a listen and very pleased you like it.

Ok Austin you have a good voice in the soft sounding department, but can you belt it out for the chorus. The song lacks a significant chorus that will blow away the listener. If (as my spidey sense tells me) you have that kind of voice you can make this song into a memorable pop tune.
lets see what happens.
Mellow sounding tune. It has potential you just need to expand on the melody you set down. The extras, the cool synth effects are awesome on this one. I hear aceed like tones slowly building to the climax , I hear some really good synth sounds. The climax is very interesting and it becomes very acid like this is a good one..keep at this one with some cool pads and you will have an ultimate winner.
Thanks man, sorry for the late reply. This one seems to have slipped through the net. Glad you like the acid part. I'm actually thinking of investing in a propper 303 as the FL TB404 isn't that great. Then i shall be making some propper acid sounds.
Cheers for dropping by and reviewing the track.

Awesome intro. Channelling Heaven 17 and the Norm at the same time. Like you are advancing the sound of Sheffield to modern times. The Pad is brilliant at 1:00 and I love the bass in this one. Vocals at 1:35 are scary effective. This is a solid track man. Suncopation at 2:40 is a nice touch. When you sing or speak your phrases I would suggest you slap echo the last word. I like the way this tune plays out. The vocals remind me a bit of green velvet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHXBHjzd910&html5=1

Hey buddy! I've only heard of the artists you mentioned, but not really heard them. I appreciate the comparison though! Also not sure what the signature sound of Sheffield would be, ao can't comment there... heh. People seem to get into the pads, and that makes me happy. I'm pretty proud of the bass in this one, especially the sub side of things, so thank you for the compliment! I appreciate that you liked the spoken word parts. I'm unsure if the syncopation is still there in the new version or not, as it could have been a side effect of the effects I was using...don't know. I took your advice on effecting the vocals, I hope you think I did well. Would love to hear your reaction to the new one. I'm enjoying the Green Velvet track you linked me to! Definitely has some similarities to what I've been working at. I really appreciate your good comments! Thanks for the fave!
Really stunning how you have progressed since you joined this community. What I love about this particular tune is the concise tight mix and the fact you have mastered arranging sounds in a very interesting way (to my ears at least). I am so happy to hear you become one of the elite composers on this site. congrats to your talent!

Steve - Hi!!
How are you?
Sorry for the late answer, I've been out of internet connection for a while.
Feels really good to read your comment although I'm of course not in any way the elite of anything...! But thank you for believing in me and for all the engouragement and help along the way.
This is just a fun listening tune for the summer. Nice work. Great talent you have lined up for this one. Catchy hook. Nice vocals. I like the reverse cymbals (Static Nomad most likely won't) You need a nice solo (g-tar or synth for this one. If you send me the stems I might just be able to work on one for you ehh? Nice work mate.
Steve
Thank you so much for the review, and being the first to review this one, thought track would be best like this, thought about putting a solo part like you mention but tried and didn't like the feel it gave the track, wanted to keep a laid back vibe to the piece, will contact you later today via contact...Peace n much Respect friend...Mosaic...
Nice Rhodes like piano intro with some uplifting Chords, but very interesting beat. In My experience When people add that much echo and chorus to there vocals they are afraid of showcasing there voice. They are afraid of being noticed as being off-key. I think you have a good voice but need to practice this tune and re-record it without so much effects and we will be able to hear the true spirit of this tune. Also back the vox just a smidge down in the mix. This is a nice tune with potential, I would like to hear this with your strong confident voice in the mix in the future.
Peace Steve
Yes my voice is crap . I am not trying disguise my flaws but I don't want to crack windows either, I look for an opinion on bettering myself which you have given , See this is all i ask for is honesty so i can work on what i need to . Thank you for your review it is appreciated very much and i will be always grateful for such constructive criticism ..
Still Chewing this one, like a star-burst watermelon flavoured candy in my mouth 1:38 on is my favourite part. But 1:56 breaks my jaw. 2:42 grinds my jaw to pulp with that clean sounding bass-line. Nice background synth to counterpoint the bass-line. The it sounds retro-60]s organ like with all the glissando's. good work on this one Evan
Steve
Ahh my friend, you have added Trance sensibilities to Drum and bass rawish sounds. good mix. I agree with Val d's assessment of the vox. A cool pan would do wonders. You can get lost in this song (in a good way) good work mucho props from this corner of the web
Steve
Thank you mate for the review, pleased you enjoyed track, seem to add trance feelings into most of my non trance stuff, maybe because trance is my genre to do lol, sometimes a good thing sometimes maybe not... :))...Like said to Val's review don't use vocals much so need to learn different things you can do with them in near future, as want to use vocals more in my works to come...Peace n Respect friend...Mosaic...PS have new POP track up now...Hopefully you will enjoy...
Thank's for taking time out to listen to my track...never was a singer never took lessons...but how else can a songwriter get his songs out....to hear a raw vocal of mine check out my other tracks...before I got a mike....
Ahh when two of my favourite composers get to work together it's like looking at the sun.... Intro is awesome and builds upon the tension of what's going to come. 1:30 gives us a slew foot drum beat with a nice piano riff intermixing with T-weeds sublime g-tar. Bass is simple but effective. I think to make this truly work you need a more movable bass-line. And I would bring the guitar more forwards in the mix. The piano should be more in the background. This is a good song, just needs a deft touch in the mixing department. 4:30 gives us a hint of a possible cool synth solo but chickens out.
I hate to critique ... but This has such potential to be a potent song but it feels to me that it is stumbled or blocked by something. Missing a flow or chemistry in both your awesome talents. I will listen again tomorrow with a clearer(less tired working a lot) mind and maybe give some more thoughts to this one. As I really appreciate the work you both do. And respect you both as amazing musicians.
Steve
Many thanks for your honest and comprehensive review, as well for the general compliments...to tell you the truth I'm becoming tired of this song, but not because of the music itself, but because I have quite a few different mixes and arrangements of it and I can never decide which mix works best...I think it all depends of a preference of a certain listener in the end. Normaly I would tend to remixing it again and again, but I'm sick of it...I had too many headaches because of it already and I just need to start fresh on something else...

I truly felt that with this piece. Nice work. Perfect for a movie, or just crapping your pants while jogging in the forest with your I-pod.
definitely feeling the song conveys is one of the most important things that music can result.
