This brings me back to when Looperman was a very different place, and it makes me happy. This came up on a thread I started, and I was surprised to see something from you, but pleasantly! You've always had a unique style, that must have been an influence on me in the past. 2009 seems like another dimension now. I hope you are well!
I saw this pop up in the featured tracks and i liked the title so i thought i'd give it a play.
There's a lot of cool stuff going on in this track. There's elements of it that remind me a little of the chemical brothers. I like the way you keep altering the flow of the track to keep it interesting. It keeps progressing all the way through to the end. You say that you ran out of ideas, but to my ears there's plenty more than enough for one track.
This is a fine piece.

I like the breaks the way this song constantly evolves around you. I love the playing with distortion.. just enough of a clip to push stuff to the edge of the limit. It gets just to that point where you think it's going to hurt then pulls back. The whole piece has a consistent flow to it. You expect a change of direction when the breaks come and you're not disappointed. I agree with most that have already reviewed this track. It does leave you wanting more in a very good way.
So glad I was checking out the track list and saw you posted a new one! Fusion works for the genre I guess. The bass is a nicely constructed track and has a jazzy feel to it. Nice idea, enjoyed it a lot. Just the right amount of each instrument to make it a great listen.
Hey, how ya been, figured I woud swing by and listen in. Hope you find yourself well these days.
This has a nice soothing feel to it. I liked the star treck reference in the last comment, ya, the beginning had that going, haha!! It seemed like when it stopped, you were beginning to go in a different direction with it. Do you plan on finishing it?
If you don't, it's no big deal but I did like what you put together so far.
Hey there Wayne,
Mega problems here, i.e computer crash, more surgery (i'm good - just rebuilding the nose is all ), new security program that forbids my music program to run... or as other people call it - Tuesday...LOL
I was thinking of getting Sony Garage Band - i think that is what it's called. I neeed something new ( and relatively cheap ). I feel the need to create again but anything I try sounds like 3 day old squirrel poop - if it could make a sound.
Oh yes, about that track. I started doing it and I said "dang, that sounds familiar, I wonder where it's from ?" When I received the first review that suggested the Trek ref, I said oh bugger !
Man this is an animated track, get a technicolor kinda vibe when i listen to it, really cool vibe with some funky elements and a slight horror style which i recognise in some of your other tracks. enjoyed listening cheers.
Poor little Robbie, haha, great description for the track! I've run into those fire ants before, viscious little buggers!! Liked the walk up notes with the synths and organ. Fun track, had me nodding my head and tapping my toes.
Really nice track here guy!! very musicality sencetive thru out the track with the dynmatics. The only part and instruments that I was not crazy about was the trumputs at the end, never been a fan of the instrument for some reason, Too much exposer to rock I guess, but this was a mad track guy no dought!!
Hey there BM, thank you for dropping by and reviewing. For some reason I have gravitated towards brass and strings - bit of a surprise considering the amount of time I've devoted to rock. Oh well, I will have to wash my brain out with industrial or viking rock...that reminds me - I heard a spanish group by the name of Blood - blew me away they did. I have no idea what they are singing about but the music was close to epic.
L8tr BM.
lol...I like your description...and really enjoyed the visualisation of this one, the bass was deep and the synths were spot on and your beats built the suspense
well done
Trax
First of all I would like to apologize for taking so long to reply. It's been kinda nuts and busy here. Thank you for your review, though, Take care dude.
The sound in this is so cool....my computer and table and speakers were vibrating back and forth, up and down! I love how you put this together. Very cool!
LOL - thank you for your kind words. I always master ( or what passes as such ) with the headphones. When my tracks are played through speakers, sometimes they are a bit heavy handed with the low tones.
this was put together real well! And trust me I wouldn't just say that. the beginning of this track was very cinematic in style and made me think of a car chase or a fight scene very intense! kept me interested all the way through! and that does not happen often!
Well met sire ! Thank you for your kind words, and terrible sorry for the delay to respond. It's been kinda nuts here. Btw - I love your avatar - looks like fun.
Your drum tracks are always interesting, what do you use to create them? I like the short punchy guitar chords and the synths seemed to add some more tension to the song.
I've listened to this a few times now and there is a lot going on here, nice job! Kinda cinematic, I could hear this in a spy, thriller, mission impossible type movie.
Hey Wayne, I use Magix ( 15 ? ). I keep on using it because it easy, fast, but unfortunatly maddening at times for not doing what I really want - I have to settle for a somewhat passable version to what's running around the inside of my mind kicking over the furniture. I'm not sure if this makes sense or not, but, many musicians put accents on the beginning of a series of bars - I do it at the end - this could very well be the Irish ( or fun time lunacy ) influence. And, my base/drum co-cordination sometimes run counter to each other and then meet together for an important accent. Then, for flavour - a loop in the background seemingly running amok by itself but really fits nicely ( sometimes in the fourth dimension - which is time acording to Stephan Hawking ).
Ok, I just read what I had typed - that's a bit odd - it's the bit of vodka and amaroula fault.
Anyhow, thank for dropping by and reviewing. I just wish I had more time ( and sense be it good or bad ) to create more.
My thanks for your kind words. They are truly appreciated. I used to play french horn in high school ( badly ) and at one time ( before I discovered Jimi Hendrix ) i was addicted to brass. I was surprised when I automatically brought the sounds into being.
I was getting into it when it stopped, hey, what happened to the rest of it, lol. I would like to here that you continue working on it and finish it as a full song. The didgeridoo had a cool funk going on, more, more.....
Hey there Wayne - when I started this, I said "just love that digerydoo". I got that far before I said " MAKE IT STOPPPP !!!!" lol
I suppose I shall have to revisit it when I am able to tolerate the sound.
I guess I'm a little late to the party and I've already given the fish I caught away. Rats! BCWay, you're one of my idles and I do love your crazy tracks. I can't hold a candle to the images and feeliings you evoke with tracks like this one. It is complex in its use of instruments, sounds and moods created. I think I detected some DNA of mine on one of your keyboards or whatever you call that thing with knobs on it.
Hey hey hey !!! I've been away for a very long time. Mostly because I just didn't feel like it because of my face all bandaged up. And when I did try to do something, it sounded like what I had already done or it sound cheapo - ticked me off it did. All of this has nothing do do with our zombie friends. Anyhow, thank you for the review and I will drop in and abuse....err...i mean have a listen to your new tracks.
mmmmmm... I like it :) The bass reminds me of a tunnel party ;p Love the dark gloomy brass instruments. Only thing I miss (maybe at the end?) is the panic. Maybe u can make the brass sounds more disoriented...? (dunnow how to put that sound into words ...)
I do like the concept... very very nice
hey there, sorry for the delay to respond. What a great idea "panic at the end" .... how the bloody hell did I miss that... damn it. I will put that in the queue in the list of things to do. Thank you for reviewing.
Hey, this is a departure from your usual stuff and I like it a lot. There is such a nice flow to the music, it really matches AJ's vocal performance. This is quite enjoyable!!
Well hello there Wayne, thank you for the review. I had to think alot on what I was going to to on this one - no way did I want to overide AJ's outstanding vocals, rather to support - kinda difficult for me to do because of my style - I learned and had a good time.
Thqank u for responding loc! Nuff respect man....had a massive hd crash yesterday which threw a fat monkeywrench into my works, but I fixed it. As a result, peeps can look forward to more FUNKEN within the next couple of days. I have managed to extract quite a few trax off the old "My hard drive is posessed" CDs 1 and 2, which I will be posting here sooner or later. I have also been writing new Mulchefye like crazy; I dunno man its like creative diarrhea or something....I will be in touch G
