Description : This is a fun electronic track that is dedicated to my wife! I used a couple pieces of MIDI gear as well as some samples and VSTi's to create this. Has a fun "pan flute" solo. Would love to hear what you think! From the Spivkurl album "Strong Like Squirrel."

i dig, and yea, the flute solo's pretty cool. I guess my one critique is that you use the same swell too many times; that reverse crash-cymbal thing. Eh, maybe you only used it... nope, it's your outro too. Yea, I don't know, I'm a big fan of buildups and I never like to use the same sound to build up a beat more than once in a track. Cool beat though, I don't really dig elecontronic-sounding business, but this was easy on the ears. Good work
Yeah I'm always guilty of overusing my swells and builds, I guess you could say it's part of my signature sound! I'm glad you liked the flute solo and the beat though! Thanks for the review!
Hey dad, glad you found this one! Just so you know it's not a real pan flute, but a synthetic version. It sounds pretty good anyway! Thanks for the review!
This track is out of this world... so different than i heard so far... great arrangement and selection of synths are amazing, and the pan flute coming so freshly, and the melody puts a big smile on my face. Excellent work my friend! Keep them coming. Faved!
Good to see you're still around! Thanks much for this positive review! "Out of this world" that's quite a compliment, thank you! Glad I could put a smile on your face! Appreciate the review and the fave!
This is a strong piece to my ears, raw and energetic, subtle glitch in the hats really works for me as does the euphoric strings, panflute is a really nice touch and changes up the track nicely, crisp quality production, awesome stuff man, fav and download. thanks
Don't ask me why, but the name of this song remind me of those Memes that start off with,
"In Soviet Russia..."
And I must ask, with such a name, and with the mechanical vibe of this tune, have you been watching marathons of Dexter's Laboratory again? Haha, I kid, but both sort of lend themselves to that animation style (with a touch of Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job on the side). Question, did ya ever see the episode where they went to the center of the earth and were around the lava people? It was wicked cool!
And now for a comment about the song,
"Needs moar syncopation?"
I dunno man, just being random. Nicely done. Later on!
To be honest, I've never seen the shows that you spoke of! I agree it could use a little syncopation, but I was going for a mechanical vibe like you said. Thanks much for your review!
alright ur on a acidy trip bcasue this track has aicd travel all over for real man,i just love how it glides with grace along with dirty energy thats sound sweet to the ears;
I have to agree with Wayne. The longer the one went, the more fun it became...almost like some great auditory roller coaster ride. Terrific work, but that is no surprise.
This is a wonderful listen. And for the record, I think squirrels are cool :)
Wow Im going to be honest, Im a kid inside and my mind was screaming "Imagine a squirrel groovin to this!"
AHAHA what a thought man. Im hyper at times when music like this rolls. Just sounds fun you know?
This is so pumped, its awesome. The Pan Flute is AWESOME, so different. Insta fav Spiv, Loving this fluid motion within the track. I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks for this L:
Your review has made me really happy! I'm glad I can pump you up with some of my tunes! It's good that you liked the pan flute, as I wasn't quite sure about using it... but it turned out okay anyway. Thanks so much for the review and the fave!
In the musical chat-room of late, I've been encountered several artists with full on phobia's of squirrels. Actually dated a girl briefly in the `80's who suffered from that, and now I'm tempted to direct them all to this track the next time it comes up. Perhaps it's the sonic cure to what ails them?
I love how experimental this sounds. Like Nuada, I'm definitely hearing the tendril like connection to Industrial with non-musical sounds making a glorious harmonic racket. Combined with Glitch, and "Ethnic" - well...what a ride! Nice one!
Fun track! Loved it! There's a little bit of glitch and 8-bit feel to it. Nice flute solo, great track full of energy. How not to be happy after hearing such a gem!
Thanks for sharing, faved and dled.
Thanks so much for your positive review! Reactions like this make it all worthwhile! Glad I could make you happy with my song! I appreciate you listening, reviewing, faving, and DLing!
Good to see some new music from my mate, love the name and I can see when listening to it why the name. Nice beat, synths are very good, it is a fun type of piece for sure, little different from some I have heard of yours my friend, but does still have the Spiv touch and sound to go with it, very enjoy listen matey, another for the favs...Peace n Respect mate...Estefano...
Yeah this is definitely a change from what I've been doing lately, but I'm glad you liked it all the same! Glad you liked the title too! Thanks so much for your review and the fave!
More fun the longer it went, especially liked the pan flute, it fit perfectly and lifted the song up, too cool! I was waiting for it to end there with the synths but the cymbal was not expected but much appreciated! Excellent track you put together!
Thanks so much for listening and commenting! I totally appreciate your opinion! Glad you liked the pan flute solo, it was fun to play! Thanks for your review my friend!
Hey Man! how are you?
Been offline for a while due to lack of internet.Really like what you have done here! Industrial,experimental and techy all at the same time! Brilliant stuff! Would fit easily on a global underground release! Be well man! :) Have a great weekend! Added to faves!
I'm doing great, thanks for asking! I'm honored that you like my new track, especially enough to fave it! Global Underground, eh? That would be cool! Thanks for stopping by to listen and review!
Ha ha! Was supposed to be squirrel, but I made a typo! So sorry for expanding the vocab! Glad you liked the song though! Thanks so much for the review and fave!

Description : Feel free to check out the video on YT as well (Alan McLaren Project - Upside Down) of this 6min journey from electronic to rock with some psychedelic moments...
This is my latest, but also one of my earliest tracks.... any feedback is more than welcome, thanks :)
Description : This is a strictly groove track where the elements of ambient meets electronic funk and Hip Hop. I play all instruments on the track excluding guitar solo which was performed by my friend Art Miller.
Description : A demo of one of my current projects. The chorus vocal sounds like "Aaaaraashe" to me. The song is in C# minor with a nod to C# pythagorean on the chorus. The beat on the verse was inspired by the Peter Gabriel song Intruder.
Description : This is one of my earliest productions that I did at the start of my recording career. I did not have a keyboard at the time I made this song, so I improvised and used my sister's iPad and a 5 dollar GarageBand application instead, and plugged the headset jack into into my PT6 rig and did my best to turn each individual track (which were mono and there were about 25 tracks or so) into a stereo image. Then recorded vocals over it. My computer was so old and slow that I had to mix my music and then BOUNCE it to a new session - four times. My computer (which had 512 MB RAM and an 80 GB hard drive) couldn't handle more than 8 tracks at a time or it'd stop working because the processor couldn't handle it. Took me FOREVER to do. But I got it done. Had a lot of fun doing it too, even if it isn't my "best" work. I'm still happy with it, considering I didn't have many tools to choose from at the time.
Description : Long time lurker first time poster, pretty new to production n stuff, this is my first track in Ableton Live.
was going for a darkwave/synthwave sound, reminiscent of Justice, Carpenter Brut, Perturbator, ect.
Looking for some feed back, constructive criticisms or even just your thoughts if you liked it or not. This is just a rough cut on this current WIP, just the bones of it if you will.. If you have some cool title suggestions, would love to hear those too.
Thanks for listening.

Description : Far out mid-tempo fat beat deep chillout grooves with Eastern/Arabic and slightly menacing vibes, huge delayed synth bass and a great palette of psychedelic layered and intricate sounds (mostly synths) and a stirring, epic feel. Even has guitar solo section reminiscent of some 80s power rock which is then followed by a brief synth harp solo. I began making it straight after staying round the flat of the flute player from the legendary Ozric Tentacles - easily the greatest ever space rock band. I made this in about 2001 and still think it might be my best track (and it's nice and short, for a change). My production skills were much weaker in those days (no EQ, compression or mastering used here) but, somehow, this one turned out pretty much just right. Feel free to disagree. Now sit back and get ready to trip extremely far out. If you manage to return, let me know how that trip was...
Good work!
CHEERS!
