ooh ... thx a lot for grabbing out this old track ... didn't listen to it myself for a while, but it still sounds quite good ... thx for reminding me some of my old work!!! peace, rei
I started up a forum thread about favourite ever tracks on Looperman and Evisma chose this very track as one of his favourites. I thought you might like to know.
You should check the thread out and also contribute.
Anyway: there is indeed some tasty guitar playing here and some of it reminds a little of some of my stuff. Same goes for combining guitar with electronic grooves.
Initial groove is a cool one and I like the extra percussion.
0:40 scratched vocal is good, especially the way it ends up revealing "beg your pardon".
Then we're rocking in a very controlled way.
1:05 second lead line complements the main riff well.
Drums could definitely kick quite a bit more in this. They're a bit "drum loopy" and some actual rock kits would probably give the track a boost but they're still pretty good.
I program my drums using Superior and EZ Drummer's various kits though I do also use a lot of drum loops, just for varied flavour.
The continued bits of scratching in this work well though after a couple of minutes I don't have that much more to add or comment on as it's pretty similar to the stuff that's gone before.
There is bass but I can't really notice it much. Definitely doing very much a supporting role rather than ever coming out and really being noticed.
Overall: some cool funk playing and I like the extra trilled notes around 4:14, just to finish things off.
wow ... you waste a lot of time on a 7 years old track ... lol ... no, seriously: a thousand thx for giving me a very detailed review!! of course my recording setup has changed in the meantime, at that time I was new in homerecording and I tried a lot of demos and freeware, I had no master keyboard or something like that. anyway ... you can check out some of my newer tracks like "rerum natura" or "I wish I could sit here forever" ... and I will check some of your music!!! thank you!!
Killer guitar tone! I actually use the Line6 Bass-PODXT-Live for everything I do. Nice that you get all those sweet tones from the guitar version. Is it still working, do you still have it?
sehr bemerkenswerts rock instrumental. macht sofort laune und begeistert bis zum schluss. krftiger, kohrenter mix und kurzweiliges arrangement. eins fr die PL, danke! cheers
Very groovy and enjoyable spoken word here! I totally enjoyed listening, and the music seemed to support the words very well. Would love to see you post more stuff here on LM! Excellent track! Fave!
that's fine!!! to inspire other people is the biggest compliment a musician can get .... thx a lot for taking the time to listen and comment!! peace, rei
This is so groovy! It's got some old school fundamentals, but sounds modern too! Great guitar playing and tone! Awesome use of these vocals! Excellent track!
Wooow! Excellent! You really are an accomplished musician, and I envy your skill on guitar. The voice here is perfectly balanced, and well suited to your composition. I am not tired, listen, and I thank you for sharing this moment. There are here, of great talents, and so varied ....

No love for four years on this one. This track needs bumped back into Looperman rotation. Some REALLY solid playing. Great tones. Made my evening.

Commented on rerum natura by rei4real
It's official. You are something special.
If I was to get my pick of the most fitting guitar player for what I do, it would be you. Tone mastery.
Shame there is nothing new from you in a few years. I understand life happens, but your music is really great.
Take care.
