Description : This is a track from 2005, that If I remember right was entirely recorded using a Radio Shack Md1800 Keyboard. Of course I had to sell the keyboard in order to have more room. I really miss those days of creativity. I guess this song is meant for that individual who would like to make that so often dreamt of trip to outer space. So final boarding call for the flight , 'Destination Space.'

Found this on the "Rave for the Golden Age" thread. I'm really impressed by this one! It's progression is uplifting yet calming! Definitely one for those of us who'd rather be living in space! Really good work!
Wow, I'm honored to be on a thread. Thanks so very much for taking a listen Spiv! This is one of my best original compositions, that was mostly live takes or samples recorded by myself. More and more these days, outer space seems to be a better place to live then this corrupted world we currently live in. Thanks again for the review.
I know it's a double review, but I have to let you know I never get tired of this song! I've got it on 4 different playlists on my laptop and seldom does a week go by that I don't hear it.
This is ace pal defo a download for the ipod i dont know what it is that i like about it wether its the wah wah sound or what but its got me hooked listend to it 3 times now lol loopy
man this is so great, right from the discription through to listening to this great piece of work, man so love the keyboard synths, wah wah really cool affect to be used, arangement is first class, like the rest of the track, adding to favs for sure friend...brilliant...Peace...Estefano...
Thanks Alivid for your perspective I guess I never had the feeling for calypso when I came up with this tune. I'm not real familier with that style. As far a the guitar sounding instrument. Every thing was played using that wonderful gem of a keyboard. That wah wah sound comes from the clavi intstrument. Man I do miss that Keyboard. It did have some power for just being a cheaper piece of equipment. I'm glad nOmad23 told you about it. Thanks for the listen and the comments.
Why, Thank you Bri! Glad this tune captured your attention. I beleive that little wah wah sounding instrument is some kind of Clavichord type sound. I'm sure it had been processed through some other effects settings.
Its always fun to be able to mutually appreciate each other's music.
My Man!
This is GREAT! I haven't thought of Frank Tovey (aka - Fad Gadget) for a while and his stuff sprang to mind. Not so much the same style, but certainly you're coming from the same spirit of approach. You found the Soul of that Keyboard with this one - and being a bit of a space-nut myself (you have no idea) I'm thrilled to see someone else that envisions something with BEAT! Yeah!
I'm not familiar with Tovey but You definitley peaked my interest. Its comments like yours that helps inspire me to do the best work I can. Thanks again nomad. Peace.

Description : Feel free to check out the video on YT as well (Alan McLaren Project - Upside Down) of this 6min journey from electronic to rock with some psychedelic moments...
This is my latest, but also one of my earliest tracks.... any feedback is more than welcome, thanks :)
Description : This is a strictly groove track where the elements of ambient meets electronic funk and Hip Hop. I play all instruments on the track excluding guitar solo which was performed by my friend Art Miller.
Description : A demo of one of my current projects. The chorus vocal sounds like "Aaaaraashe" to me. The song is in C# minor with a nod to C# pythagorean on the chorus. The beat on the verse was inspired by the Peter Gabriel song Intruder.
Description : This is one of my earliest productions that I did at the start of my recording career. I did not have a keyboard at the time I made this song, so I improvised and used my sister's iPad and a 5 dollar GarageBand application instead, and plugged the headset jack into into my PT6 rig and did my best to turn each individual track (which were mono and there were about 25 tracks or so) into a stereo image. Then recorded vocals over it. My computer was so old and slow that I had to mix my music and then BOUNCE it to a new session - four times. My computer (which had 512 MB RAM and an 80 GB hard drive) couldn't handle more than 8 tracks at a time or it'd stop working because the processor couldn't handle it. Took me FOREVER to do. But I got it done. Had a lot of fun doing it too, even if it isn't my "best" work. I'm still happy with it, considering I didn't have many tools to choose from at the time.
Description : Long time lurker first time poster, pretty new to production n stuff, this is my first track in Ableton Live.
was going for a darkwave/synthwave sound, reminiscent of Justice, Carpenter Brut, Perturbator, ect.
Looking for some feed back, constructive criticisms or even just your thoughts if you liked it or not. This is just a rough cut on this current WIP, just the bones of it if you will.. If you have some cool title suggestions, would love to hear those too.
Thanks for listening.

Description : Far out mid-tempo fat beat deep chillout grooves with Eastern/Arabic and slightly menacing vibes, huge delayed synth bass and a great palette of psychedelic layered and intricate sounds (mostly synths) and a stirring, epic feel. Even has guitar solo section reminiscent of some 80s power rock which is then followed by a brief synth harp solo. I began making it straight after staying round the flat of the flute player from the legendary Ozric Tentacles - easily the greatest ever space rock band. I made this in about 2001 and still think it might be my best track (and it's nice and short, for a change). My production skills were much weaker in those days (no EQ, compression or mastering used here) but, somehow, this one turned out pretty much just right. Feel free to disagree. Now sit back and get ready to trip extremely far out. If you manage to return, let me know how that trip was...
Description : Got some spare time finally...just started on some random ideas basically (lets say kygo meets alan walker). A blend of dubstep,edm,downbeat,tropical etc.
It's still a work in progress, so i would appreciate your honest inputs. Thanks to all those whose loops I have used in here, sorry I don't have time to search them out.
Edit-added some more filthy sounds from my previous tracks and gave it some ending. Advice will be helpful.
Great track!
Love the wah>
and the Bass:
