Description : The results of one of my most intense recording sessions to date. I don't think I've explored a single key this deeply ever before. (G minor for those of you wondering) I pulled out my old Epiphone Les Paul, which I've rebuilt and customized over the years. Typed the original lyrics for the song on a couple text message drafts in my phone, then expanded upon them. Has some dubstep elements which are obvious, but it's at a higher tempo. So I guess there's some gothic and industrial in there too. Thanks for taking a listen! You can get the new Spivkurl album "Charting The Anomaly," which includes this track at the We Are... Records Capitalist Market found here: http://www.wearerecords.com/capitalistmarket.html

If you have time take a listen and give Spivkurl some feedback.
Well I must the last one to find out these vocals are you. It works alot better in this track, I was hearing different types of vocals in my head on your liberate track. Druggy and trippy production bro. Skilled one. peace
Hey thanks buddy for the great feedback! Means a lot to me. This track was pretty important to me at the time, and I still can't help but listen to it when I get real drunk. Druggy and trippy is a good compliment. Thanks very much!
Sorry haven't gotten to one earlier, to be honest thought had reviewed it, but checked back on it and no hadn't, excellent work as mentioned in reviews before myself, agree with Wayne your vocals are getting better with each piece, excellent arrangement matey, production in all top notch as always my friend...Very enjoyable listen my friend...Fav'd...Peace n much Respect mate...Mosaic...PS have my remix up of Nightr8...Turned out okies I think anyways...
Hey friend, good to hear from you! I appreciate you leaving a review, makes me happy that you enjoyed listening. I'm attempting to learn with every song, and every day for that matter, and to always try something new. Hope all is well for you! Thanks again!
Another classic Spiv!! You know how to do it. Definitely reminisce of devo or talking heads that meet electro punk...pistols ...I can hear it yep. Love AnomolyJ's comment. Another 4:21 that was well worth it. Thanks
Hey, you're too kind! I can only be thankful I can still find inspiration. I've been twisting my mind enough to get back into talking heads, so I get what you mean there. Hey happy 4:21, it only takes a minute I guess...heh. Thank you very much for listening and leaving a comment!
Spivkurl, your songs are always excellent, and so was this song. The song was a bit 'overclashed' with elements that didn't need to be there, but overall I quite liked it. Going in my fave's!
Hey, thanks much for listening and faving! I hear what you mean about the clashing elements, and I appreciate you mentioning it. I guess I was recoiling from a stint of minimal techno, and kind of took it too far in the other direction. Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you for your listen and comment! It would be okay if you used this, but please give credit, and preferably a link back to my profile or this track page. Thank you. If you can, message me a link to your video so I can take a look.
Hey, good to see you here! I really appreciate the kind and supportive comments! The fave means a lot to me! I feel like it's getting easier to record things that sound good, especially after the comments I've gotten on this. Thank you very much!
I think I root about 90% of what I do in minor keys Spiv...for some reason they just seem to hold more character or something...great job on the vocal in this one...it caught me as a little Bowie like when you first kicked it in...when you get this many musical elements & movements into the mix it sure takes the industrial genre to a place that appeals to the ear a lot more quickly than the mixes that focus a lot of the noise/machine parts (I know I`m not expressing this well)...but suffice to say..its makes for good listening for guys like me who are not too up on things...another great track...one of you best I think......Ed
Thanks my friend for stopping by! I don't want to think what this song would've been if it were in a major key...lol! Thanks for the compiment on the vocals! Been compared with Bowie, Ian Curtis, and Trent Reznor already with this track, and those are all big influences for me, so it means a lot! I know what you mean about the noise/machine style industrial, I guess that's never been my favorite style. I think things like that are best left to genres like minimal, noise, and glitch. Thanks much for your support!
I'm always impressed by your work. This is no exception to that. With all of your work, it's clear that you're passionate about it. But this one has just a little more than usual. It seems to be more....seamless(?). Even the mixing seems to be more clean, which seems like an inappropriate word given the amount of distortion. But even in that, it's balanced out and varied to the point where it doesn't begin to fatigue. Honestly, I have nothing but good things to say about this track.
The only thing I have that would be considered a complaint, is that guitar. There needs to be more of it. When it kicked in at 4:10, my brain wanted it to be the beginning of a solo that trudges it's way through.
Either way, I personally feel this is one of your personal best. I'm going to go hat trick on this one with comment, fav, and download.
Take care, man.
Aaron.
I really appreciate your kind and helpful comments! Seamless and clean are nice things to say! I have to admit that a lot of that is due to my new equipment - new monitors, new midi controller, new audio interface, direct box... stuff like that. Finally getting used to using these things, and it's having a great effect on my music. Glad it didn't fatigue! I'm glad you liked the guitar! I guess I didn't use it more, because I wanted this to be a very electronic sounding track, not so much electrical lol. I think using real instruments as accents and tools of expression can be a great thing in electronic music, and there's not enough of it around. I too feel this is some of my best work to date, so I'm glad you feel that way too! Thanks for the fave and DL!
I appreciate it my friend! It felt good to put it all out there with this track. I'm a sucker for acid synths/bass, so I'm glad it sounded good to you! Thanks so much for listening and leaving a comment!
Thanks much friend for stopping by to listen! Haven't seen you around Looperman much lately, so it's a pleasant surprise! Thank you for the compliment about my vocals! I've never gotten this kind of a buzz from singing, I'm even beginning to think I broke a long depression recording this song. Thanks for leaving your comfort zone for a few minutes! Appreciate it!
Hey, thank you very much for the good comment! It seems like there aren't many people making industrial techno type stuff lately, so it feels good to fill a void... (sounds dirty) I appreciate you listening!
Another great tune from you! I never really listened to Industrial music but thanks to you, I think I will be checking out this genre a little more now. This has an amazing dance flow to it and your vocals are great! How long have you been singing, if you don't mind me asking? You should sing more often. Your voice has a rock feel to it, reminds me of songs by "Nine Inch Nails". The vocals like most of your music had me laughing, comedian eh?
Hey thanks for stopping in to listen! Industrial is definitely a fun genre! I guess I started singing mostly around 2000 or 2001 I think it was, with Iris-T-Shirt. We stopped a couple years later, but are working on new recordings now. I started singing as spivkurl in like 2008 I believe. Had a couple years where I got a away from it and focused on instruments, mixing, and mastering... partly just to learn and improve. Now I'm doing vocals more than ever, partly because of supportive people like yourself! Being compared to NIN is an honor, as they are definitely one of my top bands, and I've seen them live more than any other band. I try to find humor in things, especially dark subjects, or when I have the chance to be sarcastic. Just a flar of mine I guess. Sorry for the long response, it was just a good thorough review! Thanks very much!
This was one of the tracks I heard a couple of days ago on soundcloud from you, I enjoyed it back then and now still
Funny though since I was listening it and just laying back then was like who is the one who produced this and saw your name haha. The mixture of sounds you use are mostly highly unusual and so in here, it is one of the things that separates you from the other artists but I mentioned that before
Thanks for making this and I hope to see more like this tune
I really appreciate that attention on here and soundcloud, what is music without listeners? It's good to know you think my sounds are unusual, as I do strive for an individual sound. I would never have come this far as an artist, and I may not even be alive, if it weren't for Looperman and the people I've met here, including you of course! Thank you very much!
Sorry I missed this one when it came out, must have been all those porters and whiskeys!
Keep up the singing, you keep getting more innovative and unique. The lyrics are well written and very cool and fun to read.
The music is well produced and with the vocals make a rather upbeat, quirky, fun, interesting, awesome.... Whatever you are doing, keep doing it. Great track and I will be dl'ing this one so thanks so much for sharing!
Hey buddy, thanks for listening and commenting! I appreciate the compliments on the singing, means a lot to me! Interesting that you you found it quirky and fun... that's part of what I like about industrial stuff, it's open to interpretation. I've got more ideas, so there will be more to come! Thanks for Dl'ing! Hope all is well!
Pat as I was writing few minutes ago nin email for U , I know nothing about such genres , but now your description makes me underestand like this = tempo & having gothic elements is a difference of dub & industrial genres , right ? ?...
..well so as U know I don't know anything about such new genres (according to be grown & died instead of living in islamic f..ing vaccuumed ). but rearding what i'm hearing a notable point is your cool singing style which sounds more beautifull in this one ...your interesting thinking about lyrix & anpother notable point is what I had told U last year too = U're soOoO tallented to be a composer for animation my friend ... in the end as usual best wishes here too .___B
Hello my friend! Well, industrial is a genre which is open to interpretation. 150 BPM is faster than dubstep generally, so that was one point. The gothic elements are more personal preference than anything, it's not a prerequesite for industrial or anything. The addition of some guitar playing added to the industrial feel of the song I think, and you don't often hear dubstep with full fledged lyrics. Thank you for the compliment about my singing, I tried pretty hard on this one, as it was important to me. It would be cool to have animations done for a song of mine, but then again I'd rather listen to things than see them any time. I'm known to lay there just listening to TV shows not watching them, especially if I've seen them before. I have a pretty active imagination, so I see what I want to see, whilst being influenced by the sounds. Thank you for your kind words!
Thanks for listening my friend, your comments always give me the push that I need to take things further, just as listening to your songs does! I appreciate the support!
youre like a smart cure
i love your trading betwixt
i love the mixing too
it never fails to engage me at all levels
reminds me of demons souls
i havent eaten for 36 days i still get bigger, i know the process
Hello friend! Reading your review, I don't know whether you mean a cure (as in medicine) or the cure (as in the band)... heh heh... either way it's a good thing, so thank you! Betwixt is such a good word! Thanks for the compliment on the mixing too! Glad I could engage you and others for a few minutes. I think I know the demons you mean, and that's pretty much what this song is about. I catch your meaning about not eating and all, though it wasn't foremost in my thoughts when writing this song. More literal, as in I'm getting thinner, and you're getting bigger... "you" in this case is more of a general powers that be reference. Thank you very much for your exciting comment, you never fail to inspire me and make me look at things differently! If I could fave a comment I would!
Another awesome track Spivkurl! I really like the groove on this one. Very catching! And great job with the vocals too. The mix sounds good on this end. Another enjoyable listen. Nice work.
Thanks Shatner for always stepping up with good reviews! Was a major effort to record this stuff, so it's good to get good feedback. I think I've been overdoing it this spring, and that crap they're spraying in the atmosphere isn't helping me feel better. I appreciate you listening and giving your opinion!
Hi Spiv,
Good to see a new one from you.
I will start telling you what I don't like: nothing!
I loved this! You create crazy sounds with that guitar... I want to hear more often. Your singing is very eighty, a bit of Bowie can be heard and some of Curtis as well (the way you use a nasal tone on the deep notes and the way you stretch the vowels).
Liked it!
Ciao, Domenico
PS: this song has way too many chord changes, the sex pistols would have never been able to play it... what? only one chord you say? but that's already too much for them :-)
[just to make it clear... I LOVE THE PISTOLS!]
Such a nice review my friend! You made me happy yesterday when I read it! I was really putting myself into the recording process this time, so it's cool to get good reactions like this. I will be trying to play more guitar in the future, I've gotten away from it mostly. Being compared to Ian Curtis and Bowie is a real honor, they are some of my favorite singers and songwriters. Glad to hear that you noticed all the chord changes, show's that you have an ear for music for sure. I've liked the Pistols for a long time too, I guess I can't help but get a little inspiration from that. Thanks very much for your supportive comments!
Hey, yep that's me! Even though the vocals were done in a day, I tried really hard on them, tried to put some emotion into it. I like the 80's, so that's a compliment, thanks! My wife thought I sounded a bit Bowie-ish, so I was happy about that! I really appreciate you checking this one out and leaving a comment!
Hey thanks very much! I love designing bass sounds, so it's good to hear someone likes what they hear! I appreciate you listening and leaving a comment!
I like G minor. It's a good key to work in.
Nice to see the return of your vocals as well. Love that synth that comes in at the chorus, thats very grouchy. In fact all of the noises/sounds you come up with are pretty mental (in a good way)
What i like about this is it follows a very unusual pattern. It's a bit like what might happen if the sex pistols teamed up with the aphex twin.
It's a fun track.
FR
Thanks for being the first to leave a comment on this one! G minor was fun to work with, and I think it works for the tone of the song. I'm not sure which synth you mean, but I'm glad you like. I see what you mean, but I'm not sure if it's a usual pattern for me. pistols and aphex... ha ha! Thanks for stopping in!

Description : My grandmother was from Belarus. She was the lone survivor of her family after the Waffen SS massacred everyone in her village during a retreat from the Red Army. She escaped soviet occupied Belarus & through a series of wranglings by the international red cross, found a family to adopt her in New Jersey in 1947. She was 14 years old then. She was the strongest person I ever knew & I miss her terribly. This song is for her.
Description : Not really 'industrial' although some aspects might fit with the genre...generally robots and stuff...hehe...and a hint of heavy metal is also there...:)
Description : I used Serum and Sylenth1 to create all the synths and basslines. It's not dubstep, and it's not Drum and Bass, but it's elements are heavily drawn from both to create an experimental industrial track in it's own class. It's heavy, aggressive, and driving. Either you will like it, or you won't. I don't think there will be an in-between. Take care. V.
Description : It's probably the Darkest Mix I have ever done. Industrial Gothic Lumbering Tune at 90BPM in the style of Nine inch Nails Meets Spahn Ranch.
Description : Another weird blending of genres I am working on. Track was all composed by myself using some sampling and an old 1983 Memphis Strat of which I am totally rusty on due to a serious left hand/wrist injury several years back.

Description : I uploaded this to my SoundCloud a while ago and fully love this Aggrotech piece and would hope you lot would too, some feedback would be sick as hell :)
Description : Made this years ago as I was changing from Windows 98 to Windows XP. Hard to remember now but XP was one of the greatest leaps forward for home pc users and the stability was so welcome when trying to put this together.
This is purely industrial sounds of machines and tools.
My aim was to make them sound like synths drums guitars and humans. Took me months. The amount of editing and twisting these sounds up down faster slower etc etc to get rythm well I'm sure you can imagine.
Deleted it recently but having just listened to an industrial track someone has put on here I fancy getting back to some serious dirt!
Got to stop smelling that stuff...
Peace...TG.
