For some reason the opening piano counterpoint reminded me so much of Ultravox (Midge Ure era). The jazz guitar work smoothens (New word) out the song. Nice work.

So you covered Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht)? and named it something else??

Good work my friend, this borders on Digital Hardcore. Bass line is driving, the vocals are placed perfectly and are disturbing in the right way ;)

Deep powerful pads at the beginning with those bells, perfect intro. Beautifully done this piece, love the 6/8 beat. Fav'd and dowloaded.

This I think would go better under the Breakbeat category. That being said, it's a very interesting first loop attempt and a good job. Very creative work. Now we just need to get it mastered properly and it would sound awesome

Of course a big tune to take on, but the project rate you have projected for us is only at 16000, and not 44100. So it sounds pretty blah in my speakers. for shame because I hear some good arranging of midi instruments.

ahh this is so great, and personal, awesome song.!

DR.Who ehh, good creative arrangement, nice lyric.

This is some good s**t. I really like this tune, and I am not ordinarily prone to liking hip hop or rap unless it is really really good. and I like this one!

What I like about your rapping style, is that you are almost singing it with a distorted vocal sound. You have a good singing voice.

Nice R&B, clever lyrics with irony...I like it!

I like the chord progression from 1:19 on

I used to have to write Gregorian chants and sing them at 8:00am for music theory in college whilst trying to avoid the devils chords..lol,
you have made a beautiful piece of music.

très agréable, me rappelle les années soixante
Bonne Musique!

1. superb mix and production
2. Not Trance. sort of an electro hybrid.
3. interesting use of atonality in the first 2:25, then it gets into tonal qualities of Dm, then back to the atonality.
4. in the second part of tonality, I would love to hear a ripping synth or guitar solo.
5. nice work

very interesting and creative. I can say I have never heard anything like this before. good work

Brilliant playing. Nice work.

Has a Jean Michael-Jarre feel to it as well as a little Pete Bardens. Good work.

You have a nice sound working with this. (And this is not a negative but a truly honest question) But Bobby I am interested in what your opinion is on what makes this sound so original vs anything that's been recorded before, especially in the hip hop beat department? What are your musical influences. Musically it's very simple chord progression. (again not a negative as California from Dr Dre was a simple chord progression as well(RIP roger Troutman)). Sorry if it seems I am picking on you , but I read your (boastful) description and was curious why you think that this stands above or separate from the crowd of beats?

Nice guitars , your vocals remind me of Ric Ocasek of the cars! Bluesssssssss! Nice!

Awesome sequencing and arpeggiation. I can see a sort of mixed syncopated beat working with this. curious to hear the end results.

beautiful mix of rock and progressive electronica..look forward to hearing more!

nice, very Santana like! Nice job on this

O.K. I listened to both. I like the original a little better. I think what I would like to hear in the remix is a few changes if possible. The vocal accapella track has a very chorused almost phased effect on it and I think having the vocals clean with a natural reverb or delay would be better. at:59 of the old remix the piano and the vocal melody clash musically (the verse). I really like the chord structure for the chorus as it reminds me of Heaven 17's "Geisha Boys And Temple Girls "

This song is the style of music you do,
What you can learn from it is they were successful by making a strong chorus and a vocal that is clean and clear.
Maybe on the verse structure at:59 instead of the jangly verbed piano use something else musically, like a deep bass sound. That's my take so far on this one.

In my opinion it belongs in rock. Been Listening to some old Nazareth lately and in some ways this has that feel to me (minus the drums).
