Description : Here's another one from the Funk pantry, most of it played with VST instruments, with the exception of vocals and guitars by my analog self. Peace.

If you have time take a listen and give Micky some feedback.
The first 15 seconds are nice, and then you go into funkalicious overdrive. So much so I'd consider to ditch those first 15 seconds - they're good, but the rest is great!
What a lovely track man, and so well produced!!
This track has an incredible amount of musical magic going on.
I started out listening to the crisp out front bass, then got caught up in the Keys. Then you added the pitch perfect Vocals.
Some Synth and FX, not to mention the funky phase/flanged out Guitar(I mentioned it). Mix and Mastering are always top shelf in your productions.
Interesting tune you created here. I was not expecting those wonderful vocals. I love the way you brought them in. I can picture listening this to on a nice night drive. Brilliant work, you earned my fav, sir!
Hello, I'm glad the track resonates with you... your really flattering comment is much appreciated. In fact, when I write, I often have a night drive in my mind. Thank you for the attention and the fav.
Cheers, Micky
Well all that work paid off. It's a fantastic track. Puts my simplistic efforts to shame. Vox, mix, FX, composition, instruments the whole works. You ever hear Rise Robots Rise? Maybe you like. Been missing your outings with jynx too by the way, and jynx himself for that matter. All the best.
Thank you for listening and for your nice comment. I checked out RRR and they must have been pretty cool. I'm not 100% on their line, but I still think they're cool.
Oh dear I can't tell you what's going on with JYNXZ (Robbie). Some difficult circumstances seem to be taking hold of him completely at the moment... haven't heard from him in a while. Let's keep our fingers crossed. I got so much input from him, it's priceless. I hope he will be back on the scene and back in our STAR TRAVELS hangar soon.
Cheers from Micky
hi Micky, love how you back up the glossy surface with ingenious interlocking parts that fuckin jump and that tasty gtr. you use your voice to great effect — always wondered, do you use any processing or is that your natural falsetto?
Hi Michael, yes this is my natural falsetto. Some also know me as Klaus Nomi... LOL. Thank you for listening and your flattering comment. Cheers, Micky
Cool intro first of all. There are so many great sounds that all layer nicely, you must use a lot of tracks while constructing these ideas of yours. Quality mix. Takes me back to the 70's. Another fine track Micky!
Hello Wayne, nice to hear from you. Yes, 44 tracks and by the time I had knitted them all together I really couldn't listen to the track anymore. I have no idea how I finally got it finished enough that it was worth uploading to me. I've also thought it might be a lot easier to make stripped down, thrifty tracks, but I've found that it's not one iota easier...quite the opposite. Your benevolent, encouraging comment means all the more to me. Thanks very much.
Yes CCC, I ALWAYS miss female vocals, but I'm really fed up with accapellas. Unfortunately there is no female singer in my neighborhood and my friends only sing on birthdays...LOL. Well, that's why I'm trying it myself....at least it's original.
Thank you for listening and for your nice review.
Hey there, Some interesting vibes in this track and yes i do dig it. Prety groovy & funkie indeed. So yeah a job well done love the vocals as well in this one. Have a good one & one love
Micky, this is SOLID. So you have crafted a way back time machine with this track. A strong "Human League" feeling going on. The attention to detail has paid off handsomely. Vocals are superb. Enjoyable listen.
Hi Mark. Well, I never would have thought of Human League... in fact, I never liked them. But you meant it as a compliment, and I thank you very much for that.
Peace, Micky
This track got me up moving! so early before my morning run. I always know it's GOODDD!!! if it makes me move! the vocals are as always sitting neatly on the track. Yes indeed a most super fly! composition & Much enjoyed. Great! work!
Dear Angelusyeux, I'm really happy that I managed to reach you even BEFORE the morning run. Always nice to hear from you. Thanks for listening.
Cheers, Micky
Hello, Lord of Darkness, if I may say so. It was a special honor for me to welcome you to my rather cheerful Funk party. If it entertained you, I did something right! Thank you for listening.
Peace, Micky
Wow! that's great! Wonderful title. Very nice drive. The instruments are balanced, complement each other and carry the vocals excellently. Very surprising but good ending. All attention! Well produced, mixed and mastered. Greetings Manuela
Dear Manuela, I am very pleased that you enjoyed listening. Although I have the attitude that the music you make is in itself a reward, but such nice praise from others makes the dish extra tasty! Thank you for that!
Cheers, Micky.
Nothing but HOT HIGH ENERGY FUNK, POINT BLANK. This is some of the hottest funk I've heard here in a long time. Powerful instrument sound for vst instruments. Verry well mixed and mastered. I noticed the wave form is not squashed from here to Madagascar. Guitars masterfully done. Fire guitar solo near the end. I'm still funkin. PEACE. T576 OUT.
Boy, what beautiful, lavish praise. That's pretty flattering and, of course, super encouraging. I put an extraordinary amount of tweaking into this track and by the end I couldn't take it anymore. I mean I got really sick. Now that I realize that other people like the track quite a bit, I like it again. How are you supposed to produce a track without having to listen to it ad nauseam? You probably know the problem too.
Anyway, thanks for listening and for your words.
Cheers, Micky.
Hi Jonathan. Great that you noticed a psychedelic element as well.. well, as far as I'm concerned there may be certain reasons... well. Thanks very much. glad you liked it!
Cheers, Micky
great to see you about Micky, another great track from you, always a funky party at your place, nice melody, the bass is hot too, vocals are cool as always, great mix and production mate
Hi Paul, that was an awful lot of work, 44 tracks, numerous attempts with the vocals, even though I have a lot less time than before. In the end I had heard the track so many times that I was almost unable to rate it in any way, but I'm sure you know that too. All the more gratifying that you liked it. Thank you for listening and your nice comment!

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 : 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?
