Description : This piece originated when i sent AJ the instrumental to my track 'Strange Dub Days' which featured her acapella 'My Own Beating Heart'... an experience led her to write down some lyrics in which she put to form over the instrumental..remastered and reworked the original inspired by the vocals in which she supplied.....Big thanks to AJ for doing this......Soul/Dub?.....possible update dependant.

No problem with honest and constructive feedback. I'm sort of not sure what the point is in just leaving "Sweet tune. Liked the guitar!" or similar on people's music (I get quite a bit of that. Nice, but not that useful to me). Something of substance might help them and any decent musician should have a fair bit to say, especially if there's room for improvement.

I'm going to go against the grain of all the other reviews and say that, as good as this is, I feel it could be better. It needs to have a more distinctive change and probably build to something bigger. But maybe that's just how I like to hear and make music so no problem if you're happy with it as it is.

I thought you could have varied the drums more eg perhaps sent the hats double tempo or something. Good atmosphere and vibe and vocals but not enough memorable bits for me. Along the same lines, good simple groove but plods along too much. I'd enjoy it if I was out listening to it somewhere (just in terms of the vibe) but I don't think it has the vitality and depth of truly great music (and I'm sure that's what you're aiming to make) or enough memorable riffs or solos or dramatic moments.

Good work anyway and hope you appreciate that this is constructive criticism based on my genuine reaction to it.

Oh man this is a fabulous effort! I gotta thank Abe for bringing me here!

The track kinda reminds me of Mount Eden it's just that this is a bit better!

I like the eerie sound and the dark vibe that you've got going as well as the drums. Those are pure gold!

I think you've found a great style to fit AJ's vocals! I had to fave you know!

Amazing work!

This is soo powerful.

Love the stretching man... Gah lol

Hey, I wanted to ask you?
What version of Ableton are you rocking at the moment?
I updated to 8.2 and I wanted to just warn you, DON'T DO IT! lol
I can't really do anything lately because it just crashes with every other move.

Impeccable stuff tho bro.
Love this.
Haha I want to beg you to let me do a remix (and quite possibly ruin it lol)
but yea.
Thanks for sharing this!

Salook replied Unknown
Hey Buddy

I haven't yet jumped ship still rocking on Cubase, was going to try out Ableton till Cubase 5 came on the scene, its a good piece of software and i am just getting into rewiring Reason,

Iv'e got the protools Mbox sitting boxed, but i need to really get my hard drive and computer organised before i set it up, otherwise i will just kill my computer lol

Thanks again for the big digs man, feeling blessed that AJ would want to get on a track like this...she is awesome.

A remix? glitch this baby lol, i'll make contact with AJ and get her permission, the way she delivered on this track...man she owns it now lol

cheers.

WOAH. This is... so absolutely amazing. You're by far one of my favorite Dub artists. Here, or anywhere for that matter. This song just has the spacey, heavy feel down PAT. Someday when I'm back home, I'm gonna spark up a little of the sacrament and just zone out to this track. Work like this reminds me of how much room I have to grow personally, and it's exciting.

Thank you sir!

Salook replied Unknown
Wow man cheers for the huge compliment, very encouraging and makes me want to do more of this kinda work..this track i reckon would be nothing without Anomoly Jonez, she done a great job. cheers again buddy for the great review.. peace.

Epic.

Wow.
I would buy this.
These are those tracks, that you will look back on for the rest of your life, and then say to yourself
I MADE THIS!

Totally boring nit-picking thoughts...
Some pads lol... I hear it in the middle.
But then again. Space.
Dynamics.
This is Epic.
Salook
Salook replied Unknown
Cheers alividlife...I was hoping you would catch this one....as you know I am trying to master my mastering lol...big words from you make me feel good.. honestly man.

Yeah that middle break down, stressed myself over that part, it felt empty, even though it was for just a short spell, felt something could be added there.....tried a few things and opted for a single sound effect just to break the routine, anything to forward wanted to stay throughout the rest of the track and I didn't want to take attention away from AJ's vibe.....and you are right man, so proud of this...gotta make sure I don't lose it....one to look back on. cheers bro.
