Description : Here is a trance/techno type of song I've been working on for the last few weeks. I think the feel of the song suggests the title, how about you? I still might work on this more, especially if anyone has any suggestions. Enjoy, and let me know what you think! From the Spivkurl album "Strong Like Squirrel."

Que gran tema amigo mío, me encanta el ritmo y ese bajo trance, y las melodías son buenísimas. Has llevado el trance a tu propio terreno, y eso solo lo pueden hacer los grandes productores. Los estilos son para personalizarlos y tu lo has hecho. Que tengas un buen día hermano. Paz y salud.
¡Gracias mi amigo por el gran comentario sobre una canción tan antigua! Todavía estoy orgulloso de este, a pesar de que se hizo antes de que supiera tanto. Realmente aprecio tus amables palabras.
Thought i'd come by for another as i'm in a track reviewing mood tonight (must be the beer) This is cool with some nice pad work going on. It's got kind of a chip tune feel to it kind of like mario brothers on drugs (Like mario and luigi need that lol) The melody is pleasant and uplifting and i reckon that this would make a good computer game sound track. What i like about your stuff is you never know what you're going to get. I'm pleasantly suprized by this one.

Hey friend, sorry that it took a while to reply. You know how it goes...heh. Thank you for the kind comment! It's funny, because I started making trance before I had really listened to much trance. Kind of gave me a twisted view of things I guess. Pads have always been a bit of a challenge for me, but some of the time I can get it right, thanks for the support. Loved super mario bros back in the day (1-2-and 3) played it for way too many hours. I appreciate you listening to another old one!
Thanks friend! This is one of my favourites too, which is why it got placed as track one on my new album! Your reviews make me smile, and I'm honoured by the fave!
Very cool, I like how happy it sounds. The bass synth gets a little repetive, your parts are very diverse. very creative. I like that kick. AWWWW that part at 1:25 is awesommmmme(refer to beginning of sentence). Yeah Spiv, nice job and fun listen!
Hey, thanks so much! I agree it's a pretty happy track. Sorry about the repetitive bass, I think that must be one of my signatures... ha ha! Thanks so much for stopping by to listen and review!
I heard the remix of this track on the Screenplay profile,
so I wanted to hear the original that you made!
Track reminds me of songs from the Japanese games,simple yet complicated!If the track lasts 40 minutes, and I would be still listening to the song, great!Dl
Hey friend, glad you could get into this track! Still need to get a CD burner to upload my new stuff, but I'm having trouble with my internet computer that takes priority. I have to reinstall windows before I order my new burner. I'd love to hear a remix done by you of this song though! Thanks for stoppin in to check out my tunes!
Perfect culmination of feel good / dance right here. Very melodic as jfw said. Its got a nice bounce to it , very well done. This track makes me think of Gorillaz for some reason, had to point that out.
Thanks for your kind words! I'm glad you liked the melodies! Yeah, this is definitely bouncey, that's part of why I like it. I can see the comparison to Gorillaz, thanks for mentioning it! I appreciate you taking the time to review!
another signature track by you, happy as hell, it makes me smile. I love it, seems like something I'd wanna have playing in the background on a small chug party while we all get hammered :) great stuff, just great :D it also has suspense to it, even though it's happy and that's a big plus.
Yes you're right, this has become a signature style from me! Glad I could make you smile with it! Feel free to get hammered to this song, I like to help people have a good time! Happy and suspenseful, yep I think you're right! Glad you enjoyed this one! Thanks for taking the time to review!
Very nice track man! I love the way you used your synths to give a very happy sounding melody. I'll have to show my friends this song, they would love it!
Thanks so much for taking the time to listen and review! I like how the melodies turned out on this one too. Hope your friends like the track! I appreciate your positive comments!
this is cool, i been watching the show prison break, this kinda made me think of that due to the 'runner in the dark' title and the darkish feel in the beginning. it really kinda becomes a happy tune though after a while, i just really enjoyed listening. the synth that comes in at about 1 minute and stays throughout the rest of the song is so cool!! really cool lead synths on this
Yeah I think this is good example of a dark but happy tune...which doesn't seem to make sense! Glad you could enjoy listening! Thanks so much for your helpful review!
Your melodies never cease to amaze me, Spiv. Very cool synths in there. In the breakdown, your music skills really begin to shine. I like the bring in on the up at 1:40. Another great song in your catalog! I still haven't got to hear all of them yet. All in due time, Friend!
Hey thank you so much! I like the breakdown in this one too. You're too kind with all your praise, your tracks really rock too! Not that you do rock songs, but you know what I mean...haha! Thanks for taking time to listen and review!
Thanks for your comment.I listen 3 your tracks.It is not bad.And this track is super.I am sorry,i cannot chat with you more,because i bad know English.
Hey, thank you for stopping by to hear some of my tracks! I'm very glad you enjoyed this one, as it's my most rescent work. Your words are appreciated!
Been awhile since I've treated my ears to some of your brillance. I've been pretty busy with stuff outside of music and just got some free time to check some stuff out. Awesome job on this one man. Very catchy stuff, this is a tune that will get stuck in my head for days. Loving the synths and pretty much everything else in this track. You've done a crazy-good job on this!!
Hey friend, thought I hadn't seen you around for a while, glad your still on the Loop! Thanks very much for your kind comments! I'm finding it hard to top this one in my new work. Glad you like it! I'll stop by to see if you have some new tracks!
hey spivkurl, was reviewing a koukotso track and there was a mention of this track in amongst the reviews so i thought i'd drop by and have a listen.
Great title for a start and i feel it is suited to the music, not huge on trance music but this has that something extra special which is your style, really has that old capcom computer sound that i love which shouts MIDI.
Hey thanks for stopping by! I know what you mean about trance music, I can't seem to make the standard style of trance... I think this is the closest I can get. No matter what I do I end up with something of my style, not something genre specific. Either way, I'm glad you could get into this one! I appreciate you reviews!
Thank you for the kind words about my song Fresh Substrate.
I really like this track just based on an overall good feeling I get from it. The arrangement is nice and happy. Keep up the good work!
this track gives such a positive energy, like all the good things happening in life all at once. nice feel to it and the tones you got on this track are really beautiful. really loved it dude.
Glad you could feel the positive vibe on this one! Your comments are really helpful and welcome. Thanks very much for stopping by to listen and for faving this track, I appreciate it!
very interesting. its like a running techno beat its really good actually. very bright. its really trippy too nice synths you put in there. i would absolutely appreciate it if you could review my track collective consciousness. i like this track by the way though!
Buddy,
To me, it sounds like you're really improving. I mean I LOVED all your stuff... This just hit me as you really polishing a coheasive sound & arrangement. I'll be listening to your other tracks tomorrow! I can't wait to hear em!
Hey, thanks for the kind comments! I'm glad you think there's some evolution in my music, as I've been trying some new things. Good to hear from you again!
Glad this one could bring you some cheer! Yeah I guess I put a lot of work into this one, or atleast a lot of time and thought. Thanks for your comment about the drums, I wasn't sure if they worked or not. Thanks friend!
Hi Spivkurl,
Nice title choice for this track.Again,you have this unique sound that makes your music so...unique,lol!Your way of using the keys is definitely addictive
Cheers
French Kid
What a nice track man.
This track reminds me in some way to a coca cola advertisement,
I like to listen to this track, I'll add this one to my favourites;))
You left (and it was quite inspiring) review on my track, and I at least like to extend the courtesy of the same.
Sometimes if I dont have something nice to say, I revert to the old "silence is golden" rule.
I was actually prepared no to like your music, but in all honesty.
This is about the closest thing to perfection I have heard on this site.
I can hear this one playing at the club now.
...and out of all the nice things I can say about it...what sticks out the most...
That is one nice mastering job.
God I would love to pick your brain one day...lol.
Keep on Keepin on.
I cant wait to hear more.
~Chad
Hey, friend, thank you for returning the favor! I'm really happy that I surprised you into liking this track! It's some of my most recent work, and it's nice to get so much feedback!
It's cool that you like the mastering on this one, as I think it turned out to sound good. One of the biggest things I did to get this sounding good is to EQ out the frequencies on each track that were not important. Especially taking the low frequencies off channels that are mostly in the high range. This can really clear up a mix.
This made me grin ear to ear all the way through it. The melodies are very soothing. The mental images flowing in and out are of being in the deep bottom of the ocean, very dark but you see a lighter patch of electric colors. Then in a flash as the melody builds a smack of biofluorescent jellyfish put on a rainbow lightshow with your music. Very nice work d(-_-)b
Hello friend! I can't describe what it's like recieving a review like this, except maybe your words had the same effect my song had on you! I'm grinning ear to ear now too! The imagery you describe is brilliant, it's so cool that one of my songs can show you these things! I'm going to try and check out some more of your tracks today. Thanks for the confidence builder!
Whats up Spiv been a while since iv heard any of your stuff and commented n u always leave me such nice comments. Very nice melody and very happy. I really enjoyd it and nice job.
this is nice and tight man, really love the breakdown and back to the groove transitions alot....mix is super balanced, i have a hard time with that myself...very uplifting orchestrations and i get a happy vibe from that smooth melody..gonna download this for tonight's festivities, perfect man!
Happy New Year to you and your family bro...be safe and well...2010 will be great for all of us "-)
Hey Man! Nice job on this song! It does as you said give the feel of running through a dark empty street with shadows looming in dark corners! Nice work! Especially like it when the organ synths
come in and take it away! Keep up the good work man! :)
this beat is tight, well mastered, very professional. i like the movement of the synth/melody. it will move the party floor any day! good one my friend.
Hey, thank you very much! It's nice to get so much good feedback on this one, makes me think I won't need to update this one. I'm happy that you think this one has good party potential! Thanks for stopping by!
Hey man?
Will you do me a favor?
Make a BUNCH
I mean
like 10 send channels
and make them all delay and reverb,
and then experiment ?
all right man
LOVE IT
I love this.
It's epic.
It makes me feel like I am crawling out of my skin but in a lovely way.. if .. that.... makes...... any.... sense.......
I know this is older..
I hope you are holdin' up well man.
Keep it up!
That sounds like a fun experiment with the sends at all, there's just one problem... When my motherboard died I had to take a drop in performance and memory. This makes it so adding a lot of fx makes it so I can't hear my song without major glitching. It's a bit frustrating, but I like a raw sound anyway...heh.
Otherwise I'm very happy that you liked this one. "crawling out of my skin but in a lovely way", that's so cool, and interesting to hear!
This isn't too old, still my most recent finished track.
I am holding up well, thank you. You're interesting reviews always cheer me up. Thank you for the helpful words!
great track - tight mix - nice mixture of sounds - and I really appreciate the use of "short sounds" (i always go right for the long and lush stuff and forget to mix in some short stuff- so thanx for the inspiration. Nice progressions and nice work on the drums and stops too.
Hey friend, thanks for getting me back on a review!
Yes, I'm very partial to short sounds. for some reason I can't master the lush flowing sounds that are so common to trance. I just do my best with what I can do.
I appreciate the specifics in your review, it's nice to get such helpful feedback. Thanks for listening!
great track.lovin the bassline..a great focal aspect which keeps the 'story' flowin. the only thing i could suggest is possibly some sort of deep pads in the background, however it is fantastic as it stands ;]
g
Hey thanks for, stoppin by to check out my tracks!
I'm very happy with the bass line on this one too, glad you liked it.
The reason I didn't go with much in the way of pads, was to keep the focus on the melodies. I felt they deserved a big part of the mix. If I go back and work on this some more, I'll keep your suggestion in mind though.
Very pop sounding, happy beat, made me feel good after listening to it. Sounds like music you would hear in an upbeat commercial for some high tech gadget or computer. Very well put together Spivkurl!
I'm glad I could send out some good feelings with this one, it makes me smile to listen to it.
It would be so fun to make music for commercials, as there would be so much creative freedom. I take it as a compliment that you think this track would work for a commercial.
Thank you for listening and leaving a kind review!
As promised in to check out your tunes, first one played and I am so in love with it, so beautiful plucky synths, wow been looking forward to getting in to check out your work, and man you have not dissapointed here, so looking forward to checking out some others of yours now, brilliant track, adding to fav's for sure, woooowww excellent
Hey friend, I appreciate you checking out so many of my tracks! I'm very happy with the plucky synth melodies on this one as well, they just fell right into place. Your reviews brighten my day, and it makes me happy you faved this one! Thank you much!
I like this one Spiv. It's interesting and unusual. Not a traditional Trance (with sweeping synths) or Techno with a pounding beat but it's very melodic and yes I would say Techno/Trance. If you wanted to go that way you could make it more tradional I think but I actually like it as is. A breath of fresh air I would say.
Thanks friend, I'm glad you liked it! I was really trying to go with a sound where techno and trance fused comfortably, I think it works pretty well this way. I appreciate your kind words and helpful review!
Cool happy trance here Spiv, I don't think I've ever smiled more when listening to a track as I did with this one. Has such as nice feeling. The bending and plucky-styled synths are what made me smile. Nice work my friend.
Description : Big thanks to Justze3 who released the four loops to his drake ovo style piece because he didn't plan to finish it, challenge accepted. I would also like to thank LankFrampard for the extra drum loop and av3 for the sample "trapped" which gave a lot of extra feel to the song.
Description : Just the instrumental for now
for my second solo band Slingshot Vs Missile.
More of a trance dark atmospheric oddity than my usual go to
with piano, guitars, and strings
Description : this song is the last i created. I wanted to remix the famous "the chase" from the movie "midnight express, i love the original sound! i don't know if the result is enough good but i'm proud to say that all has been composed by myself: the instrumental parts, the arrangements, melody, recording and mixing. I hope you'll enjoy it! don't hesitate to let a comment after listening :)
Description : Used loops from MHYST trance sequence 8,2 and Goa. Dune 2 Vst. also thanks to Fibonacci 1.1618

MHYT has a series look him up under trance sequence
Description : A relaxed Trance-Trible-Electro-Wave track. Feel the power of the alien tribe connection. Dance your dream or dream your dance. Just be part of the connection.
This is what you get when i try to make a Free Radical song.
In the end, it does not sound like something I've ever heard from him.
But it was, after all, a try.
Thus, it is not completely different, ´cause i have not sung this time.
And it is electronic music but .....
However, I like the resulting song. Hope you too. Only 1 sample was used here - Anubis-Anubis-Loop all the synth´s are played by me and i added some drumsounds with powerdrums2 played by myself Comments are sure welcome.
Description : A drum and bass, electronic something or other inspired track. The main Melodies taken from short loops I cut from some sessions my bro &e's recordings he had made at my location. I had been meaning to use his sounds for a minute and he said it would be cool. Finally did.

Description : Another attempt in my continuing efforts to learn how make a trance track. Is intended to have a vocal doing the melody. Would try to find a singer but need to work out lyrics first. For this track I tried to make the melody not too repetitive. I limited it to four bars max of the same melodic phrase.
Description : I made this track the day after I was trapped in the lower dimension and could not wake up. The only way I escaped was to send unconditional love to a huge group of dark beings going to attack me.
Description : Would you be at all surprised if I told you this was a Trance edit of And Then She Left Me Again? Didn't do a whole lot to it. Just changed the bpm to 138, swapped out the drums and slightly changed the drop. That's all I've had time to do since I uploaded the house/techno version. Originally this was going to be DnB edit but I got tired of trying to find the perfect kick and percs
Description : First trance piece for a little while, Strong beat and bass lines, nice synths and pads, with a few FX thrown in for good measure...Hope ya all enjoy.Please comment/review...Everything sounds where I wanted it...so enjoy this trance, glad to put one up of my fav genre...Peace Love Respect...mosaic...
