on GrumpyBeatZ - Monster Energy by GrumpyBeatZ
Really nice production and bass choices. I also like the dark feel to it and your vox works well. Great job. Fav'd

on EXPERIMENT - Shades of Hate by 2Sisters
Allo, Manuela et Angelica. I love Minor keys and exploring them. 132BPM is a nice pace for something Danceable. I will Download it and get around to it with my new sense of Vigor. Unfortunately, We lost my 88 yr old Father this morning as he passed peacefully in his sleep. This and my mother's passing last January have been a large reason why I have had difficulty composing recently. It weighs heavily on my heart. But he passed peacefully as I suspect all of us would want to go (In our sleep). I may take some time with this but I am hearing something interesting in my head, and not as disjointed as my last attempt at your Vocals. I kind of feel a kindredness to this tune.

Hello my friend, I know how painful and overwhelming it can be to lose a loved one. It would be too simple to say that time heals the wound caused by their passing. I believe it is so important to hold the person youve lost close in your heart and create a picture in your mind that truly reflects who they were. When you think of them, let it be with warmth, comfort, and the love they radiated. Keep this picture alive! Sending you warm regards and my heartfelt sympathy, Manuela

P.S.: The song from the link is beautiful. Wonderful lyrics!
crucethus
Manuela has a point. I don't make my music to make $$$, I make the music I want to hear. Is that the right approach? IDK. But it's my approach. If you like my music. Great, If you Don't. So be it, art is subjective. If I make some money from it. Great. If I don't. I have songs I like to listen to and make me happy. Music will never be the thing that makes me compromise in my life. That's what my Day job is for. And to be honest, I get to be creative in that as well. But you my friend ...we see eye to eye on the dark stuff. I enjoy your music and creativity, and look forwards to hearing new stuff from yah.

It absolutely IS the right approach. That's why my original tagline here was "I'm here to get good, not famous". Admittedly, it would be nice to make enough money with it to be able quit my day job, but either way, it brings me joy, so, meh...whatev's. I'm good.
Yeah, we do see eye to eye on the dark stuff. Our approach to making it are two completely different methods, though. Yours has always been a lurking darkness brilliantly hidden behind brighter elements. It's there, you know it's there, but you can't pinpoint it creating a certain level of unease. Mine, well, it's just right there.
I have a few new things posted that I don't think you've heard. Drip Christ is one of them. I think my darkest, and most raw, aggressive yet. Check it out if you get the time.
Always good to hear from you, brother.
Take care.

on DIY Lobotomy by Zootman
Yeah! Awesome Tune Chris. Beautiful production and your voice reminds me a bit Like Suggs (Madness). Now I can't say I recommend the DYI Lobotomy per se, but I do like the Pop-up Trucks that do them near festivals and Carnivals, and you can get some nice Funnel cakes too, but probably won't remember that part of the experience. /s

Hi Cru. Glad it sounded good to your ears. Ha don't know about funnel cakes but it is mushroom season here. Maybe that had something to do with it. Cheers Chris.

on Burnt Lip by Cyberflares
Hey Mate, Fit Like!. I like this one, disjointed rhythms in a weirdly syncopated way offsets that piano. For a Hip hop tune, it almost feels like the musical equivalent of what the Crip walk must be like. Very Creative. Nice Work!

on Manuela - Hej kleiner Fratz by 2Sisters
Nice Shuffle-Skiffle beat. " Tour d'Elegance" is an interesting phrase. I love how at the end of the stanza's all the words rhyme with itz was cool as well. As usually your voice add just the right touch as well to the song. I love when singers respect the song an melody and don't always try to "belt it out" on every tune. Like we know you can do that, but you don't have to, and it makes a great song! Well done!
2Sisters
2Sisters replied 31st Mar 2025 - 1 week ago
Hello, and thank you for your kind words and high praise! Youre absolutely right about the use and tonality of singers when performing a song. Sometimes it really can be overdone. I tend to be more reserved in that regard. However, it also depends on the type of music. What do I want to express? How do I want to musically emphasize words so that they are perceived by the listener in just the right way? As always, it all depends on what I aim to achieve. And I think Im quite flexible with my voice in that respect *smile.
Best regards, Manuela

on PLAMEN by ZE7DD
Yeah, I love the darkness of the slavic world. One of my Fav's from quite a few years now is Deep Zone Project from Bulgaria. You both use similar minor chord structures with Unique stabs and Basslines. But you also incorporate modern Goth.

The dark Slavic aesthetic has such a unique atmosphere, and Deep Zone Project definitely has some solid vibes. Love blending those haunting minor chords with a modern touch.
Thanks for sharing and for the kind words!

Nice mate. So which do you prefer? Prince's original, or Tom Jones with the Art of Noise. Always great to hear you work it out!
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 27th Mar 2025 - 2 weeks ago
I don't hate what Tom Jones did with it, but His Royal Badness is where it's at man. I love everything he did and I cried when he left us. I still can't hear snow in April without crying.

Yeah, Mate, Lovely Intro. Very nice Pad Choices with a subtle jangly guitar. That Bass drives it though. Great Work. fav'd, My head was bobbin along with a zen-like quality! ;-)

Zootman replied 27th Mar 2025 - 2 weeks ago
Appreciate that Cru. Yeah I was quite happy with the meandering bass lines. There's not much to it, two guitar parts, two stnths and the midi bass plus two drum loops.

on North by Mykael
Yes, I Love that Chord Structure. You have the beginnings of a Monster song my friend. I was thinking you do the verses 2 in a row, then instead of a chorus, do a bridge like Queen did with the song Mother Love. Also, bring that organ up in the mix. Had to listen again to capture the subtleties of this one. Great Work!

I like how it turns into a dissonant shuffle, very creative. Dripping with sarcasm and irony, makes me happy in an "Ironic way" Nice work my Teutonic Muses! Bring in the Schadenfreude!

Hello, lovely choice of words in your message *smile. I'm glad you enjoyed this song. Yes, it is ironic; the original version was even a bit sharper in the lyrics. But I think you can see what we were aiming for. Best wishes, Manuela.

on Finally Realised by dimestop
Have you ever thought of doing your vox through a distortion effect? I think that might add some gravitas to your vocals, like a kind of trade-off with the distortion and the clean vox.
dimestop
dimestop replied 14th Dec 2024 - 4 months ago
hi Cru i used a little distortion once on my vocal the reviews more mixed but its not something i tend to do, maybe its about time i collabed with you and you could try all the weird and wonderful things you are so good at. of all my friends here you are somebody i would love to collab with, then i could get a more ideas of what i maybe could try myself, i would use our track then as a reference, i only have a Manuela track i use as a reference at times, its belongs to her studio so i would never share it, you are a far better producer than me, i know my way round a mixing table now but im always amazed with what others have done with my vocal, like Oli @vintagenights and Manus producer Nik, have a think about it my friend you are on my bucket list to work with, in fact you have been on my list longer than anyone to be truthful, but i know your life is busy smile, thanks for the check your visits are always appreciated as is your feedback, you were also the first that really sort of understood me and what im trying to achieve
