Hi Pat....I would expect that any husband of yours,apart from walking around 24/7 shaking his head in wonder at how lucky he is,would say 'groovy baby' a lot! lol...cheers and thanks for the listen Dave ;)
You always create such "visual" music, and that's a good thing. You have this innate ability to paint such wonderful pictures with your music....that's probably the artist in you coming through in a different medium. Your bass guitar work is always so good.
I remember this tune from my earlier times on the Loop. It's just as good now as it was then :)
One of the best 4 minutes and 24 seconds I've spent in a long time.
Hey Bear...man I even forgot I made this track!lol...I used to love surfing and all the beach voodoo type guitar riffs..but above all,I'm glad that your back on the loop!..to stay! lol..cheers mate Dave :)
Mate knew it was a surfy track right from the very first beat, great beat, guitar nice, vocals great but love the wicked laugh the best, absolute crack up, could not help smiling to myself each time I heard it, does sound like landmines going off, need to put in memory bank not to go to that beach lol, seriously this is one great piece, man that giggle laugh, now has me cracking up each time I hear it, again my friend this arranged so well to keep listener interested, clarity also very high on the level, mate I so loving the laugh...Just wicked...fav'd big time...Track deserves it but a plus for that laugh too :-)Peace Dave...Estefano...
Hey mate..I was keen on beach blanket bingo as a kid,then I somehow got twisted..Butt Hole Surfers are more appropriate for a surf flick these days! lol...cheers Dave :)
lol was someone trying to blow up Lance Johnson at the beach one day or something? I could actually hear what was bombs or explosions going off. Its crazy I got this flash video game image of multipleLance Johnson's surfing and some kid with a bazooka trying to score points. On a serious note: You did a killer job on mixing this together. The twangy surfin guitar with that bass makes this a fantastic work of art. enjoyable and fun to listen to.
i love the smell of napalm in the morning! Ha ha cool song the guitar has got that surfer sound. apocalypse now was a great movie good sampling from it.
im so impressed with this i saw the beach blanket bingo comment that does give those vibes but such a hard driven bad ass feel like surfing through explosions well done
I went immediately to The Clash's "Sandinista" with the title ("Charlie Don't Surf") and was amazed at how much the guitar in this is so Clashesque! Joe Strummer would have loved this!!!! I'm guessing Mick Jones would to. I really love your sense of timing throughout this - you've got breaks in just the right places. I couldn't stop wiggling throughout. Thanks Mate!
This is the ONE.... my favorite from you. Why is this music not on the radio ...the style I mean it sounds like the guitar is surfing in the ocean. I do not know how to play guitar but I know how to surf. LES PAUL surfed on his guitar all the way to the Hall of Fame .. peace brother
get down on that
i can picture the movie clips and some kick but surfing mixed in.
i love the smell of salt in the ocean
its the smell of freedom.... :)
Lol..I remember Beach Blanket Bingo..with Annette Funacello(spelling?) and Franky Avalon...hehe..man those were the days..I always wanted to play in one of those cheesy bands playing in the background of those movies..haha...cheers bud :)
Man i liked this one!! What a fun and steady groove_ Loved the drum track because it never let up!! Enjoyed the guitar (Verb)and bass line also. Great job!! Did't know Robert had a sense of humor LOL

Love this big time.
I am often asked why I carry tons of media from place to place over the decades. With each move I migrate Crates, Boxes, Trunks of Tapes, Vinyl, CD's, Hard Drives, Video, Film, Mini Disc, DAT, ADAT, Reels, etc...
Every few years I mine the media and inevitably i find a forgotten gem that ends up on another all time best compilation. Your mention of finding this gem on your drive encourages me to continue to maintain the vast library regardless of the burden.
Big smiles here. Thanks Planet.

Hi Lorin...I've used a bit of stuff in this track..the bass drum hit has a lot of compression and fattened up with some Nomad Industries 'Max Warmth'filter..then a Cathedral reverb from WizooVerb5 with it's tail shortened was added...that's only one segment the whole track was then..mastered using various plug-ins (T-Racks..IzoTope Ozone...URS Console Strip Pro......thanks for the kind review ..cheers planet :)
Insanly trippy, reminds of the residents or Animal collective or Renaldo and the loaf. Reminds me of My favorite movie, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
Already bobbin, bangin, what have you. The intro to this blew me away, point blank. It was awesome and in relation to the song's title/vocal sample- I dunno if you've ever had the pleasure of being on a really huge wave, but I have and lemme tell you. It was like being on a Body board trying to ride one and not being able to catch it right. Having the wave take you up into the crest and slam you down as it breaks. F***in intense man!
The rest of this feels like it's from the vantage point of the other guy who actually caught the wave. And they're flitting back and forth between the area near the tube and the arc right in front of that. Zig-zagging up and down in a kind of shimmying fashion. And the best part of being there is being able to reach back and cup your hand in the water. Gawd, I miss those day man. Too busy to go and even if I wasn't the Gulf's surf stinks (great for Skim boarder's though, slumps shoulders sadly).
As for the vox, again, that was Bobby Duvall? Didn't sound like him. Eh (shrugs), must've been from one of those 60's beach flicks, huh? Wow, I just caught a visual and I'm thinkin they need to bring back that style of Bikini, know what I mean? Anyways, I'm off. Later on!
lmao.... hahahahahhahahahahhhhhaaaaaaa awww... that is just soo cool ...
Wow, i love the swanky guitar in the back there... I LOVE YOUR BASS DRUM 'VERB.. wow, that is powerful... I am stealing that.
Also.. I am insanely intrigued with your compression. That is really interesting.. It causes some really cool fullness (as it should, but I just wanted to point that out, for some reason, it just seemed abnormally cool)
The bass on this is insane! I have a sub under my desk (I rest my feet on it) and it was like a foot-spa, just without the water.........I hope you take a positive out of that
The drum work is pretty great in the beggining, the bass is ridiculous on my sub woofer. Great samples, maybe run a few of them through a low pass filter? A little repetitive too.
Hey mate ...thanks for bringing that up!..I admit on completion I felt the same way...you know how it is when a Team's ahead in a game ..and they take their foot off the pedal a bit....I'll definitely do better next time...thank you for bringing this up..no more falling asleep at the wheel!..cheers :)
wow i really liked the bass on this, very groovy, also the drum beat at the beggining ( the one with the 16th hit hat hits ) was really enjoyable, i like those voice clips too.
Hi Planet,
Getting around to review one of your tracks as you recenty did one of mine..
Has sort of a surfing sound to the guitar part. (I learned guitar by copying 'The Ventures' songs).
Has a steady heavy beat with the bass as background and enough reverb to make it sound like in a club setting being played.
Just overall a good tune with voiceover makes it special.
Nice job Dave,
Randy
Hey Randy...this was just a quick tongue in cheek tune..If I was to do real surfing background music for a surf flick I think I'd have to go the 'New Wave' route!...cheers mate
Woah the bass is out of this world! I can imagine the sand and surf. I'm not much into them Bondi surf boys, but this song made them all sound sexy schmexy! Love how Robert laughs too: HEHEEEYHEHEHEHE!!!11oneone!!
Full of glee and mischief! Excellent track. Everything flowed wonderfully smooth!
Hi Ria..I'm happy your exams are over ..don't be modest..you can't create as well as you do without a certain degree of smarts.....you'll have done well!..thanks for your kind review..cheers
Hi mate, you are absolutly professional. Another perfect track. And very interesting that surfin thing. The laughter infected me. Great Job. Hope all is well with you. DlD. Greetings from Berlin.
Hey Planet,
good to hear your new track
another amazing creation here mate
only trouble is im picturing surfing through the dense jungle(lol)
well done
Trax
this is excellent dave .. to me it was like a musical trip. I found myself drifting off to another place while it was playing. I really liked it but it sort of disturbed me at the same time (a bit like the film). The production and mix gave it a real organic ,original sound, if that makes any sense. another pjb classic. all the best mik
never heard a surfer song like this before .... and it's one of the best so far I ever heard ...
sounds like some sort of "chemical surfing"!!!
absolutely amazing, I guess only an opend minded person like you can make a song like this ... I'm very impressed ...
brilliant!!!!
Thank you Rei..I've always been a big fan of surf music..The way the oceans are these days just about every time you go in the water your probably "chemical surfing"..I must play it to some young surfer dudes and see what they think..lol cheers mate :)
Wowza! What an amazing tune Dave. Great production and balance. Using these samples from one of the best actors taken from one of the best films ever made is a sign of your genius.
A flawless piece from a true artistic musician. Today is a good day!
Thank you MrBone you are way too kind!...sort of a back to the future experience for me as my first tracks uploaded here were 'Apocalypse' inspired...I dig Robert Duvall so much..he was absolutely brilliant in the telly series "Lonesome Dove"..cheers mate :)

Description : -JUST-IN, BREAKING, NEWSFLASH, BREAKING NEWS
renowned R&B Hip-Hop & Rapper dimestop has shocked the music industry with his latest drop, he's produced and singing vocals on a rock track with Rock Megastar Danke.

Time Magazine state this is epic
Elon Musk tweeted #he's my Rocket man... more to follow as the story unfolds.
Description : This is my newest creation, at a stage very near to completion. No third-party mastering or mixing, as with all my tracks. Just have to fix a few tiny things. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MIX EVERYTHING IN THE SAME SESSION. This song has all human-played instruments - no quantization or MIDI! My brother does all the vocals except for the interlude part, which I do. My other brother plays the rhythm guitar (a Gibson Les Paul Custom - only one of 12 in the world!!) and I play the accompanying guitar (a Johnny Mar Jag and PRS). He has a lot of guitars :P A good friend of ours, Ronnie, plays the bass and another friend, Freddie, plays the drums. The drum track was done in one take (had to use an electric drum set due to time constraints - but acoustic kits are so much better). Overall, pretty satisfied with the result. Let me know your thoughts.
Description : Feel free to check out the lyrics video on YT as well :) This is a new track based on the great vocals by Ashes and Dreams! Again, a mix of electronic/progressive/rock, any feedback is welcome
Description : The first track I sing on. Cheap stage mic & no fancy plugins. Heavily guitar laden to the point it's got a bit of a shoegaze thing going on. I pulled the lyrics out of my ass & yes, they're a bit silly.
Description : BIG UPDATE 26/02/2014 - So, this was an 18 min track that I have now successfully split in two. 2nd half I uploaded a few weeks ago (Things That Should Always Be, with the bouncy 2 min reggae intro). This is the first half, which has a new mix, a mega chill, meditative ending and a little jazz thrown in for good measure. Takes a few minutes for beat to really kick in. Constantly evolving electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic drums and lead banjo driven by fat, busy 80BPM grooves with a bit of a reggae and shuffle feel. Also: synth choir voices, dulcimer, violin, cello, shimmering pads. Builds up gradually to nice and rocking and then gets taken back down for the big comedown chill. I really don't know what sort of genre this is except 'far out'. I think it sounds more like a live band than one guy playing instruments and manipulating a DAW. Not my best track but a bit of blissful, sunny island fun. Real positive vibe here so I hope you give it a chance to unfold and unfurl. Sit back, clear your schedule and immerse yourself in these trippy sonic experiments cooked up deep in my off-planet underground laboratory. I have to send the MP3 to Earth via space courier (not cheap).
Description : This track was like the inhale after an exhale of aggressive industrial-electro-sludge tracks that I had put out that summer and fall. This was the more reserved, and introspective winter track. It's nothing spectacular, but I still really enjoy it. I hope you do too. Take care. V.
Description : when i was a kid you could go down and buy acid drops at the dairy - sour boiled sweets....vox, guitars and keys by me. Bass a LM loop by megapaul.
the muzic reminds me of aretha franklin's "chain of fools". in the words of [my husband from 2 lifetime's ago] austin powers, "groovy baby".
You always create such "visual" music, and that's a good thing. You have this innate ability to paint such wonderful pictures with your music....that's probably the artist in you coming through in a different medium. Your bass guitar work is always so good.
