Description : A funk odyssey evolving from the early influences of European and Antipodean minds...we didn't know it at the time but we fell into that rhythmical vortex never to escape called FUNK.
Nice guitar work, all the little swirly synth bits too! Cool riff when that sustained piano come in, like that a lot. So many sounds effortlessly drifting in and out give it that great psychedelic funk vibe. Awesome collab, I enjoyed listening to that! :)
Your bass playing never ceases to amaze!! This is s virtuoso performance of some considerable worth. You and your partner Zappo are just having a "conversation" and it punctuated by the Miles Davis style trumpet part that fits so nicely. That rhythm guitar riffing is lovely and syncopates with the kit and your bass perfectly.
We MUST do a collab SOON!
Great stuff Dave. It's a breath of fresh air here on the Loop.
per ususal, you are an inspiration to the rest of the loop. I love the way you mix your bass guitar in with your work, with the stereo panning and whatnot. really makes it sound nice and large, and fitting.
makes me want to stick around this spot :) glad to see you're still active. it really does make my heart warm up a bit. cheers, dave :) maybe I'll send you a project for you to rip bass or guitar over soon!
Hey Matt,good to see you man!..thanks for the kind words buddy,yeah I'm still slugging away at the music something I don't think I'll ever get sick of,yeah mate anytime you want a little bass or such drop me a line,no problemo...cheers Dave :)
Pretty tasty piece of music guys, wouldn't expect anything else really. Big mix, everything shines through cleanly. Some cool reversed guitar.? Keys were splendid especially liked the piano, nice choice of different keys, well played and mixed in. Bass, outstanding as usual pal! The horns were a cool add, reverb puts them in the mix well.
Great overall feel to the track, first one of the day for me, got me movin' and groovin'!
Hey Wayne,thanks buddy,your comments are very much appreciated mate! been using an outboard processor for all my reverbs now (Lexicon MX400)and it seems to be working out well,the added benefit is no accrued vst load on my computer's cpu,the trouble with out board gear is it can get pretty pricey as you well know,I want an Avalon 757,U5 etc etc next....I need heaps of spondula! lol..don't we all! cheers mate Dave :)
Very energetic and funky sound. Damn..one of the better tracks here on LM, no doubt. You can hear the feel and love for music in this track. Love it how the bass and e-guitar flirt with eachother. Fav as it goes!
Probably one of the best collabs I've ever heard here on LM
and this is top class on every level. I can only confirm
what the others have already said and those are facts solid as a rock!
Hi Orlando,thank you for the kind words mate,playing with Zappo is always a rewarding experience,it's actually the best way we can communicate with each other as I don't speak any German! haha..again your review is very much appreciated..all the best Dave and Detlef. :)
...and you top the whole production off by managing to get that elusive live sound...not much to say Dave...just total funky goodness (with a wee sprinkle of jazz) that sounds great..appreciate the intricacy of the mix...the funky rhythm guitar...the bass that is always something special in your compositions...the extra tasty chords backing the event..the hammond style organ with a bit of key attack...hell..its all just good...I have been royally entertained this evening....bravo...Ed
Hey Ed thanks man!...everyone that's ever picked up a guitar will gladly get on the funk train,the question is can you ever get off,there doesn't seem to be any station stops! lol...thanks again for your great review mate! cheers Dave and Detlef :)
This is really beautiful music. So many instruments, yet everything blends so well. I was especially thrilled by the trumpet starting at 05:07. Very deep.
Hey LosCoz thanks man!..Detlef(Zappo) has a fantastic feel to his brass playing via his midi keyboard and trumpet vst's,you'd swear he'd been playing in a horn section for years...again thank you very much for the kind words! cheers Dave and Detlef :)
So I played this last night and needed a few hours to absorb what I just listened too. Fantastic work. The arrangement, the instruments the production, the composition itself, the instrument choices all brilliant in there execution. The sustained low piano notes lend a nice ominous effect on the tune. I liked that as well as the space (rotary?) Hammond organ. Reverse guitars reminded me a bit of Phil Manzanera and your Bass was sublime and funky. Fav'd and downloaded (TY)
Steve
Hey Steve thanks man!..I'm not sure exactly what vst's Zappo uses with his midi keyboard,though I'm thinking your spot on with the Hammond rotary....I always really dig his instrumentation especially the horn parts he plays,you'd be stretching to improve on them with a real horn section!...thanks again for your kind words mate..cheers Dave and Detlef. :)
Hey Markus,how are you mate great to see you man!..thanks for dropping by,glad you like the funky number buddy!...see you in the Loop my friend...hope all is well with you and your family!..cheers Dave :)
this is really a great collaboration! The tone of your bass is full of harmonics and space, I really enjoy that a lot. Playing is so fine and it gets even more funky around 4:10 when using more slappy technique. Zappo's multiinstrumental work is impressive as always. Great music!
Thanks Alex!...I've always found funky style fun to play,I guess it was a pretty popular genre back in the day,and people still like it today it seems! lol...I saw Tower of Power in Paris back in the 70's,they were great with a big horn presence in the choruses,funk will never go out of fashion I think (and hope)..all the best Dave and Detlef :)
hey Dave. been a while since I heard something of yours. love the in-your-face quality of this and the energy and the funk genre true thing that Joe was talking about. love the sounds and the level of playing is awesome. always an inspiration and something fresh from you. congrats on your work my friend.
Hey Dan,thanks buddy!...glad you like the tune mate,funky music never seems to go out of style,been awhile since I wore a pair of flairs though! lol..all the best mate,hope all is well stateside!..cheers Dave and Detlef :)
Thanks man,we both grew up immersed in those you mentioned,natural musical osmosis is a wonderful thing and we're very happy that you recognized it for what it is..all the best Dave and Detlef! :)
Description : 'Love will find you at the right time'...This track is about how we vibrationally attract love. From my recollection, in the early 20s/teen years, a typical place to encounter this wonderful force was the Disco. (Kay)

Description : This is kinda like a funky electro acoustic type thing. Definitely our funkiest piece yet, trying to explore a few different genres here, hopefully you enjoy it! :)

Description : Continuing my journey with sampling. This was mostly an accident, and not where I originally thought it would go but I'm happy with the destination. I started with the track Real Reel Switcher by Eunice Russ Frost, which has a slower melancholy swing to it, however I've been playing a bunch of older video games lately, with SSX being in the mix heavily, so this track ended up taking on a bit of that for inspiration as well. Would love your thoughts.

Description : A Dark Funk tune , with a touch of Nawlin's jazz funeral procession. Midi-sparks asked me to do a Halloween song for his competition, and so here it is!
Description : 3rd track of my future vocaloid album, Acerbus 2.Many thanks to Venuslove for the vocals, MrFunktastic for the Funk bass, Strings (left and right), and the robotic sound mainly at the beginning of the song. and Atlasblue for the Snares (sorry atlasblue that I couldn't include you in the title, only 50 characters allowed, thus I ran out of space)
Description : Updated 12/2/2022. This is an interesting redo of a funky and fun composition. I gave it more polish by switching to a different drum kit, swapped the flute solo for a synth, then infused more flavor into the guitars, bass and organ. Then lastly tweaking the final master. Can you tell the difference? Let me know. Enjoy.
Description : This is the first production for STAR TRAVELS in collaboration between MICKY (LM) and JYNXZ (LM).
Micky: concept / arrangement / guitars / synths / fx / vocals / mix / mastering
Jynxz: synths / bass / rhodes / clavinet
Description : Everything is recorded live, so you probably hear that. It's also all me :$
Thanks to everyone who contributed in explaining what I did wrong in the engineering, mixing and mastering, especially Ben (bringerofDOOM). Looperman is truly an awesome community and thank you all. Did I say you guys are awesome?
