Welcome to the Loop Ether Blu! I have never heard the original but if it sounds anything like this than that is great as well. Great job mixing in the vocals, they have some cool effects as well. The production is excellent, very impressive track.

Enjoy your stay here, look forward to hearing more!

Hi Mr Ether,
I join the others in welcoming you.
And I cannot help saying that this is a real gem.
I don't know anything about EDM but I really enjoyed this track. As stated by DjSLT with such a slow track everything must be carefully handled to keep such level of clarity and complexity.
And you really did an impressive job here.
Liked it. Liked it a lot.
Ciao, Domenico

I don't normally listen to the fusion genre much, but I really enjoyed this track. This song reaches professional standards and that is a huge accomplishment! Considering this is your first track on looperman and it is already becoming a huge hit, makes me curious and anxious for what you have in stored for us for the future.

Great mix, awesome vocals and love the atmosphere. I give this track a 10/10, terrific work and can't wait to hear more from you in the future! Take care for now!

I am sure you'll equally love the original track. Glad you liked the Sitar (Indian instrument) part. I wanted to combine both Indian Classical with EDM sounds... so this is what i have come up with.

Thanks again!

This is absolutely beautiful and gentle. Powerful message, with professional-like instrumentation, as well as great vocals are all within this track. I can't see a single flaw. The different elements put within this track is beyond outstanding. I encourage you to continue this, my friend. I couldn't fav this quick enough. I feel this should be heard world wide. In general, especially in the media, love isn't seen or displayed as it should be. But this usage of love in this track is very positively displayed, and without a doubt, perfectly displayed. Beautiful work, comrade!

Those kicks and percussion is genuinely beautiful. I love that there is a slight lo-fi element to it in the beginning.
The vocals are stunning and harmonize with the track well. The lyrics too are touching. Great, great job!!

BradoSanz 8th Jan 2015 10:24 - 9 years ago
Your mix is excellent. I like the low-end and how it comes through without overriding the rest of the frequency spectrum. Something I did find interesting, though, was that by playing around with the levels at

90 Hz (with a Q-factor of 3.97)
310 Hz (w/ a Q-factor of 3.38) and
810 Hz (w/ a Q-factor of 2.88)

helps to improve the overall clarity and juiciness of your mix. For instance, playing around with the 700-850 Hz really helps the vocals stand out in the mix while still remaining nicely balanced with the rest the other instruments. While it is only a slight change, I think it boosts the overall power and clarity of your song and would consider it at least worth messing with! Cheers and great job!

Hi,
Fantastic intro to a fabulous track, awesome vocals, very clean and neat bridge at 2.10, and the sitar sounds coming out of it was inspired. Above and Beyond are fantastic EDM artists and I reckon they would be over the moon with this cover....brilliant work and look forward to more.
Very best wishes,

Inspired by a track of Pseudoble. I was noodling along to his track "I wish I didn't know" (which is awesome) and had the words "Snow in Athens" in my head. This with the smooth jazz/fusion atmosphere led me to this track with a sort of Steely Dan feel.

Description : This track is built around the repetitive lead guitar line which I have previously incorporated as an intro for the rocker track "Sweetheart Runner" by LM user TinyFinger whom I have helped in arranging, mixing and producing his song.

Description : Psychedelic blues hip hop with lead banjo and acoustic resonator slide guitar. Acoustic drum kits, fat basslines, soaring filtered strings, some strong Eastern elements (from guitar and strings), some dub and funk from the bass and drums and a bit of rocking electric guitar. Very unusual piece of music and a trip like no other I've heard. Some of it is like a dark, deep Southern delta blues track over a hip hop and dub backing. All played and programmed by me, no loops used.

After a quite turbulent long travel we’ve reached a totally unknown planet which is mostly covered with clouds. As we pass over it we can see parts of rivers through the clouds that come out of the dark rocky surface in some places. So the whole scene is alternating textures of white, dark gray and silver flashes. Unfortunately there’s no chance to land anywhere so we just pass, wonder and travel on …

A gated moog, organ, my recorded finger-snaps and a reversed bass guitar effect that sounds like throat-singing. Three movements, divided by moments of calm. Thoughts and feedback are welcome.

Yeah, all loops but 1 vocal track of mine. :) Funk/fusion? Might be cool to have some hip hop styled vox on this, any takers?
