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

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!

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!

Spiv. How's it goin', Mister?

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.
Spivkurl
Spivkurl replied 13th May 2014 - 10 years ago
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!

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?

Great work as usual, keep them coming!
Spivkurl
Spivkurl replied 9th May 2014 - 10 years ago
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!

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!

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
Spivkurl
Spivkurl replied 9th May 2014 - 10 years ago
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!

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!

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!]

Spivkurl replied 7th May 2014 - 10 years ago
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!

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.

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.

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!
