on I know you are Insane by crucethus
Really slick production here bro. Totally dig your keyboard work, nice BIG wall of sound and the funky fills are a cool contrasting element to the orchestration. Very dynamic and suspenseful sounding track.
Great job. I dig it.
I am glad U enjoyed it.

All those songs contributed to the synthesis of this one. Thomas Dolby.. love his work. Hyperactive, and Close but no cigar are two of my fav songs from him.
nice comment my friend.

on Broken Apart by FroggyDJ
I really dig this track. Nicely minimal and great lyrics !
I have an old track where I used a repeating one word vocal but don't think I ever uploaded it.
Pretty cool man, sometimes the simpler tracks are not so simple. My question is... why didn't you title it "Bun" !
on Chasm by StaticNomad
Man this track immediately shot straight to #1 on my Looperman Billboard 100. Far and away my favorite of yours to date. As much as it is undeniably StaticNomad there's quite a bit of uncommon things in here as your tracks go. I like how you just dove right in with the heavy distorted groove but I was totally taken by surprise with that ensuing riff. The sound reminds me of Steelpans or Jamaican steel drums. Awesome !!!! I absolutely love it man. Its such a contrast but that's what makes it cool. Where do you come up with this stuff?
Oh man that is a sweet and oh so tasteful lead with the resonator slide. Besides delay and reverb what other effect if any are you using there? Nice tempo changeup there at 2:11 with a more intense lead and then a nice chord drop before reverting back on the tempo. Some low register stuff becomes apparent around 2:53 as the bass line gets a dominant role. This is a really cool section where you run with the bass a few bars with the background swells and heavy toms. Then its onto the Psychedelic mid section. Lots of crazy buildup of tension and BAM! We drop off into the Abyss of Bass and some way "Groovy" spacial ambience. Am I hearing reverses in there? I cant believe Evan didn't rag on you about that! But it is cool and fitting. The last section takes us back into the main groove with some nice outro leadage on a more mellow side, leading up to that nice smooth and melodic fade of an ending.
Great stuff here bro, truly one of your best.
I too though question the title. I always question titles by the way. I'm guessing it's meaning has to do with the Deepness or Heavy nature of this beast. To which I would then say its appro-po.
Take care my friend, and Thanks for opportunity to sample this gem.
A longish and good review from you - the kind I like and prefer.
I've got somewhat used to this track's title (gotta have one) after not liking it much. If you have any better suggestions let me know and I may well choose a more suitable one. The Evanator had a go but none of his offerings quite fit.
"there's quite a bit of uncommon things in here as your tracks go."
If/when I stop adding those surprises, I suspect I'll be making music that's boring to me and no interesting progression or evolution.
Yeah, straight in with the low end riffage, then the lead melodic is a nice surprise. When I tried that 'clean over heavy' idea out and it seemed to fit, I knew I could be onto something special. A fun contrast and I'm glad you pointed out the Jamaican steel drums thing as I get what you mean but hadn't thought of it in those terms. Yes, quite a metallic chimey tone to that guitar part that I wasn't initially happy with but various EQing got it to its current state. Total fluke that it sounds like that - I was just going for a decent, clean, far out (ie plus delay) sound.
Yeah, a good resonator sound here. Mine is not a good quality guitar (those seem to be a lot more expensive) so I always have to add effects and do some processing in the computer. It's just some added delay and reverb here, maybe some EQ, so very standard stuff. A fair bit of poorer quality resonator sounds in my tracks but sometimes I have to keep those parts because the playing's good.
"low register stuff becomes apparent around 2:53"
Yes - first bit of bass guitar in this. Some quite tasteful grooving.
"Am I hearing reverses in there?"
No reverses in the track. Everything that sounds like that is timestretched guitar parts, of which there are ##### scattered all over the place. Some sound a lot like voices.
"truly one of your best"
Thanks but it'll be much better when I go back and fix the far too loud and oppressive sub bass. I got some better headphones for Christmas and now I can hear that the sub is way too loud in this (and a few other tracks). I did not enjoy listening back to this version when writing this and checking what you had written with your time references. Just because of the oppressive bass.
You'll probably also enjoy the hard rocking track this one came from. Not as good but there's still some cool stuff, including some timestretched guitar parts. And the sub is also way too heavy! Don't know why no one has pointed that out. Maybe my headphones are too bassy.

Finally, I did reply to you on that forum post about you doing album artwork, basically saying 'yes'. Been working remixing and remastering loads of album tracks since then, freshly inspired by your offer.
Take care...
on So many Miles by Rhodesy
Miles was one cool cat, probably the guy who actually put the "cool" in jazz, and one bad ass trumpeteer.
Definitely one of the most recognized figures and most influential in jazz history. I like the fusion here and the balance between the instruments. A nice lazy groove with some sweet, tasteful runs back and forth. Pretty awesome mix and the vinyl cracks and pops really adds a nostalgic feel. Thanks so much for the hip trip my man. By all means keep them coming!
on Welcome To The Machine Tribute to Pink Floyd by MWRatridge
Its not everyday that someone takes on such a classic track as this. Its obvious that you put a ton of work into it and the finished product is undoubtedly very cool. With these covers, unlike some people who are so critical at how they compare to the original, I do like to see a pretty close reproduction with the music but also enjoy the differences in how you make it your own. My hats off to you bro, I love it! The one idea that did come to mind as I listened it was maybe a cool modern twist would be to add some vocoded effect to the vocals. I think that's where you will receive the most critique on this. Great work regardless, I thoroughly love to see the cover tracks and this is one of the best examples in quite a while.
I stewed over the vocals for a while....what to do, what to do.
I appreciate the compliments my friend. Definitely the biggest cover song I have done yet....and far more difficult than when I covered Stairway To Heaven.
This was more about personal accomplishment for me and I really feel good about it.
Mark.
on Gritty Deeds by SubChief
on Yours Within -ft NanuNanu by ValveDriver
I havent been on here too much lately, busy working on some new material. I dig this track man, pretty cool pella and even cooler accompaniment. The keys in there are a nice contrast against the heavy rhythms. Actually gives it that sinister feeling. Pretty decent guitar work too, I'm already seeing/hearing you coming along with that. Its also cool to notice that remnants of the Valvedriver still lurks in the shadow of this new persona.
Happy to see you moving along my friend.
If your new material is the doom metal track I just listened to, I'm glad you were working on it! I left a comment for ya.
" Its also cool to notice that remnants of the Valvedriver still lurks in the shadow of this new persona."
I don't think that ValveDriver part of me will ever really die. It's like I told somebody in my reply to their comment on "...And Life Went On" I don't think the music is really going to sound that different to you guys, but for me, it's coming from a place that's far more pure and natural. With Valve, it was kind of a forced darkness with the intent to disturb. Now it's just a love for the darker sounds and making them fit together with a good natural flow. But, I guess that's pretty much all any musician does, right?
Thanks for havin' a listen and for the kindness, man. I truly appreciate it.
Take care, man.

on javafan by Kikajon
Reminds me a lot of Dire Straits or Mark Knophler.
Very cool slide too, that was a bit of a surprise. Your vocals are quite distinct and despite my lack of understanding Swedish I thought you did a great job. Drums and bass are really strong in here too.
I like your style man, I will be checking out some more of your material soon.
on White Lights by NitramBeatS
on Swamp Rat Featuring Metaled by madscape
Pretty sweet rhythm track you've matched up nicely with Metaleds' pella. I dig the lead as well. Yeah Metaled has a lot of great material in his repertoire. I have downloaded a few of his loops and vocal tracks but like Katz, haven't put them to good use yet.
I like your heavy styling man and will definitely be checking out more of your tracks asap.
Very appreciative to hear so much talent on here! It lifts my spirits to no end!
on Tripwire Valley by Evisma
This is a guitar laden classic man. I really enjoyed the Bunnies and Meadows intro-lude. Super job of layering guitars throughout, which you have quite the ability to do and do well. I love the happy guitar in the beginning with some nice accompaniment from bass, the swing drumming and cool orchestration. Very good stuff. You could have made a full track around this. Pretty cool transition at :54 with some sweet fluting and some sound effect that sounds like a bunch of wood hammering. (what is it?) The ensuing groove brings in the sustained guitar(s)the swing drums and some nice acoustic fills. Now I got to tell you at 1:40 when you break off the bass and drums and the strumming uke's come in, I nearly #####. That is F'n cool and very reminiscent of a classic Zepplin track off the ZOSO LP, which is one of my all time faves, "The Battle of Evermore". Dude, you slayed me!
The last bit sounds like an extended ending without ever really establishing a beat. Its cool as it is but you could easily extend the song by bringing in some bass and drums on that for awhile and I'm thinking it would sound pretty good, but that's up to you. All in all I would say this is a pretty epic demonstration of your ability in composition and production. You've got some serious talent bro, and I'm not blowing smoke up your ass. You could do this professionally. There's quite a few on here that could but your definitely one of only a few who work predominately in Rock that just clearly has it.
I hope you do something with it.
"spoken words there at :04. Any significance?"
It's a chuckle with delay. I guess it would be the word "knee" if it was a word. Not meant to be. Kind of a George W., sneering, ratty type laugh. No significance.
"some sound effect that sounds like a bunch of wood hammering. (what is it?)"
Taiko drum loops. I have a ridiculous library of them, all broken down into their single elements, or together.
"the strumming uke's come in,"
That's my acoustic doing a made-up chord. I'm detuned a half step, playing A-0, D-10, G-9, B-10, E-0. No low E. Then it's a bar across those same strings for the second "chord".
I would probably go for a mandolin over a ukelele. I've looked into it. $400 and I'd be in business.
I think the only thing I will be doing to the second half is getting the second solo eq a bit better. First one sounds better.
I appreciate the kind words. I'm pretty sure I will have to get a #####-TON better before a dollar would ever be spent to hear my sound. I like it, and it just keeps coming out, so I gotta do something with it!
Take care, and try to stay in the AC.

on SMILE by soundhound
Nice take on Greg's track SH. Bit of a latin Jazz flavoring.
Really has loads of commercial potential. I need to go and check out more of Greg's stuff. There's so much of an influx of new talent here now, it's hard to listen to it all.
Keep us posted on this one bro.
Has a nice flair and direction, that Island feel...
Yes check him out, there are a few things that
maybe a challenge for you, have some fun...
We are glad you enjoyed it...
Peace...TG.
on Ederlazi home made version by janis71
Unbelievable pipes Carole. This is the first track I've heard of yours, so I have to make a point to check out your repertoire. I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I have no idea what this song is or have any familiarization with Bregovic's work but I do recognize and appreciate a beautiful voice.
Thanks for letting us sample your amazing talent.
No need to feel embarrassed at all, please !
None of us knows everything and everyone, huh ? :)
I do thank you for your very nice comment (and surely undeserved !).
Peace,
Carole
on Catharsis by HalfHuman
Love the pad swells and arps. Nice dynamics all through.
I definitely will be checking out your repertoire bro.
Thanks for listening and commenting.
Peace.

on Snake In The Past by Spivkurl
I couldn't help but ditch the headphones and crank the volume on this baby! I don't go full tilt on many track samplings, but when I do, its on.
Yeah you really packed some awesome "electro-synth-esis" into this. And I especially love how you drive it home there around 4:45.
Your a 100% total electronic renaissance man.
I'm definitely plugged in.
on The African Moon Lullaby - For Danke by Orlando51
A beautiful and relaxing melody. Very interesting drums at the intro. It does bear some resemblance to Legend of Zelda.
Great track Orlando, now I'm off for a second cup of coffee !
With appreciation______Orlando
on Girl on a Motorcycle by silverman
I totally dig the saw wave bass lines. Lots of production in here man. You definitely put some effort into this and it paid off. Awesome progressions and transitions throughout and very skillful editing, especially at fading the motorcycle sound effect in and out to keep it from becoming to monotonous. You rocked the (Progressive) House on this one my man. This will most assuredly be a fan fave at the dance clubs and pool parties this summer !!!
It was head banging fun making it.
You know how you have to listen over and over and over .... foot stomping etc ... thanks fr commenting.
on Star Forge by Evisma
For me this has sort of an Arabic or Middle Eastern vibe to it. Yeah, pretty neat effect there with the Wah, you could have stretched that out a bit more for sure!
I Dig it man !
I will be listening to your Sausalito song now. Gotta know.
Interesting you say Arabic. I never had any kind of intentions for that. I'll take it!
The wah was short because I was getting clips all over the place. Pedal's wah is a bit crackly. You can hear a few toward the end of the line. I had it go linger, but it was distracting to me. I'll be messing with pitch-shifed wahs a bit more now.
You can not dig it, for I have dug it thoroughly!

on Mad As Hell by soundhound
I really dig those blues pentatonic runs. Very cool over the hip hop groove. You don't hear much of that. At least I haven't. I heartily agree with Katz and DJ regarding more separation between the bass line and that synth. The bass is loosing the battle there. It may not be just a volume thing but I would want the bass way more dominant. Of course its up to you but play around with it and see what you think. Good luck with this and I hope you give us a listen to the final edit.
Looking for and found a sound of my own I think, can't get away
from sounding a like because of the gear...
But you don't have to play it like everyone else, nowhere near the
box...But I love the Pocket... :-)
As well the bass was not done by me, so I can't tinker with the main
track to much...Start trying to pull the bottom and you will pull
mud with it...sorta...
Time will tell if the final will be posted...
Peace...TG.
on LOD - the end of a nightmare by joecramer
Don't know if its heavy enough to be considered Doom Metal maybe Doom Punk !
I dig the guitar track but wish there could have been more chord progression or a bridge. Great job on the vocals, really adds to the sinister or macabre element.
I think it is more Dark Gloom Rock but i am not good in genres and i am really not into Rock and or Mestal at all :)
Last metal concert i enjoyed was somewhat around 1984 with
Corn and Ozzy and Iron Maiden and two others. They played in a big sports hall on two stages, so it was almost 7 hours in one go :)
Almost enough for a life time
This track wasn´t planed in any way, so i had no influence on the music at all. I just grab Phatkatz track and start working a bit on it. Maybe there is not much progression but i feel like it fits good to the overall feeling of the track. A little solo could be intressting but thats Phatkatz work :)
Thanks for your kind words. I bet Burt enjoys your "avant garde" same then me
stay tuned

I totally dig it.
on Labyrinth Of The Absurd by ValveDriver
Seriously, its always pleasure to sample your stuff. Thanks for the eargasm. Keep em comin please!!!
" I enjoyed hearing your take on the genre"
I heard some ##### one day that called itself "Deep Medi Dubstep." So I checked it out further. It was pretty cool. Super bass driven, and pretty mellow all around. A nice wide, dark atmospheric, minimal kind of deal. Right up my alley as far as electronic goes. (Metal is a whole different story). I liked it quite a bit, and when I started the tune, it kind of just naturally flowed, so I let it. My track isn't as quality as a lot of what I've heard, but, it'll do for now.
" ...but also opened a dimension portal to somewhere I definitely didn't want to explore or allow anything in from."
Yes. I know it well. It's called the inside of my head when left alone for too long.
Anyhow, I'm glad to see you back, and I'm glad you liked the track. There will definitely be more coming. Even with as busy and chaotic as it's been, I'm still finding time to be creative. Not much sometimes, but I make sure to keep doing it.
Thanks again, mister.
Take care.

I'm Groovin on this new tune!
Sadly I've haven't spent much time here on the Loop over several months and have probably missed several tracks from those I tend to follow. Hoping to get back to frequency again. Anyhow during my hiatus it seems you have done some experimenting as I'm noticing some different instruments in use here that differ from what I remember as being your typical choice. Nothing wrong with that, on the contrary I really like the freshness and unique quality your bringing to the table. I can vouch for those commenting on the Asian flavoring that appears evident here. My girlfriend is Asian and I get to listen to a lot of this type of music now. Some I really like, some not so much. I know it wasn't intentional on your part but I did feel it a bit as well.
I have always liked your style and agree to some extent with what Aaron said. But also would like to encourage you to continue to blaze your own trail and don't put that much stock in what you get in terms of track feedback here or anywhere else. Its cool to hear everyone's take and all and a lot of people think its necessary to progress. I don't so much agree. But that's another thing entirely.
Hey good luck on the Drum software. I'm presently working with Superior drummer which I chose over EZdrummer because of its better sound shaping options and MIDI control features that EZ doesn't have. You might compare to see which would be better suited to you especially considering its more designed for the professional musician. Not that I'm a professional by any means, but in your case it might make a difference.
"Sadly I've haven't spent much time here on the Loop over several months....Hoping to get back to frequency again....during my hiatus"
Not my business, but I hope everything is OK and things are going good again. Life can be such ##### sometimes, that we really have to appreciate every second we're suckin in and blowin out air.
"encourage you to continue to blaze your own trail and don't put that much stock in what you get in terms of track feedback here or anywhere else. Its cool to hear everyone's take and all and a lot of people think its necessary to progress. I don't so much agree."
I've realized something recently. Since discovering this site, and posting tracks and getting feedback, I've been writing my music with the thought of the opinions of others. How something may be received. In that way, I feel I've lost something visceral. At the same time, I feel that it's made me more productive because of the desire to make something that others enjoy. It's a really good feeling having someone enjoy something you've made. I've been trying not to let that steer me, take more time with tracks, keep it enjoyable.
Drum software cash has yet to appear, (though I've been praying to the ghost of John Bohnam, and the deity known as Danny Carey, asking for the cash, but they seemed to have had something else going on at that moment).
Have a good one!

on Andy Groove - The Knot Cop1Cat Remix by AnalogDisc
I only know the radio versio, which is linked in the forum maybe the original mix is more interesting, dunno. Tried my best in this case. Fixing things and watching videos (i thought I know how to use a compressor... HELL NO!!).
Thanks again to dropping by! Cheers!
