| APPACHE 2020 by RiGee | 3 years ago |
 Hey Rich, Moptzar here. I love what you did with this ClassicClassic. BUT, I gotta tell you a funny story ... ready? (I'll try to keep it short but ya may wanna get yourself a cup of coffee 'cause at the end of this little diatrob I'm gonna make a fun proposal) So one of my latest projects is a live gigin' cover party band. We're always looking for croud pleasin' oldies to revive. Before our last rehearsal broke we decided on different tunes we'd like to put in our book. 'Apache (Sugar Hill Gang ver.)was one suggestion for me to consider when I opened up iC3 and there you were. It was like a sign. But now for the inspiration. In your version I heard a buried syncopated synth chord progression and I thought I should tell you to send it to CHER. Maybe she'd let you arrange it and it would be a big hit and you'd become a star and maybe mention my name when you get on Jay Leno. OK, well it was just an idea. Keep the creativity flowing. You inspire me as always. Moptzar. PS. I'm not kidding about the CHER thing. |

| She's Gonna Cry by moptzar | 3 years ago |
| PS. Another Remix w/same sucky test/guiding vox. Still trying to capture that atmospheric dirty anolog sound while breaking or at least bending songwriting formulae. In case anyone noticed ... ( hint) I have too many potatoes on my plate and the dogs are now nipping at our feet. |

| Things to keep track of ... (i.e. note2self) Innocent Anger Aged Cheese How little we have in common How dare you breath the air I breath And don't forget Vacuum Cleaner's are evil But the Bible Saleman Has gone the way of sleeze Yet here we are Balls To The Wall Swingin' thru the trees. I'm glad I'm a mammal I'm glad I'm a Man Don't hang out with Monkeys No invertabrate Friend I'm wooly, viperberous and willing Don't make no friends With yak's named Johann I'm glad I'm A Mammal I'm Glad I'm A Man I've got those Homosapien Degeneration Blues I've got those Homosapien Degeneration Blues (And who can forget the doughnut song? I can only hope I can capture it Before the source is gone) (THNX 2 RON W. LONG) |

| The tSUNAMIS-Hornets Nest by PiranhaLake | 3 years ago |
Have you/Did you happen to hear what DJ Robbie & Chris Anderson did with the Mar~Keys "Last Night"? Nix That!!! I was thinkin' I'd love to give it that treatment but the more I listen to THIS mix I am just blown away. I wouldn't change a thing. If I were a talent agent with any sense or the least bit of hair on my ba ba b ba b b ba ahh ... cologni, I'd be draggin' ya by the ear, with a pen in hand toward a modest but fair 6mo. contract. But alas, I can only wish you luck. You deserve to be on top. Moptzar. |

Is That Arp Strings?!!! This was so fantabulous and if this is any indication of the rest of your stuff I want to talk to you about a little project I've sceemed up. If interested remind me of: "The Further" |

| Our Little Secret by moptzar | 3 years ago |
| Thanx, THNX & Thank You Very Much. Gonna completely redo the vox. I think I soaked them in FX 'cause it was my first time singing and I found them a bit pitchy and rough. I find myself a little crushed for time being summer and a giggin' musician and all. Still got them support payments to make let alone still providing a roof for the ones that won't leave. There a little bio/slice of my life for ya. When I get back to mixing I will apply your wisdom. Did I mention thanx? well ... seriously, thank you for being there. I do appreciate your ears and suggestions. Moptzar | |
| Lost Horizon by moptzar | 3 years ago |
| Thank You thankyou ThankYou Wrao. It's so hard to get a critique around here. Also I have no one here to tap me on the shoulder and remind me when to ease off the toys and go to bed. Did I mention thank YOU? Moptzar. The tweeks will be duely noted whatever that means |

| Jellyfish In A Stolen Hovercraft by pgreenstone | 3 years ago |
Get Out! I Mean it!! Get out of here right now!!! You Are Not Of This Planet & this piece is a sheer delight. Hope you don't mind me saying: ... "I laughed out loud" (in a good way) All Hail pgreen!!!! Just for curiosity sake, I'd love to hear an inst. mix without the Jetsons and Ambulances though they were mixed excelently of which I'm just starting to gather an appreciation for. Moptzar |

| Das ist nicht wahr (This ain't true) by RiGee | 3 years ago |
| Thank You Richard for the translation. Only makes me appreciate you & yours more. Moptzar. PS. Got a bad joke for you. You might not think it funny at first but when your going to bed you'll suddenly get it and hate me for it. Ready? So this horse walks into a bar and the bartender comes over to the horse and says: "so ... why the long face?" |

| Just what you need by ttucker512 | 3 years ago |
You are inspiring. The tune is a keeper. So much I like from lyric, vox, production, instrumentation choices, patience. A flavourful brew tho I hate fades. (my only complaint and that's just me) Moptzar. |

| Crazy Cat by Euphoria | 3 years ago |
You are brave and beautiful. Not neccessarily in that order. With a little tweeking this could be a signature sound. Sux about the last 19 secs tho. Have you figured that out yet? It happened to me a few times and I just solved it by saving & restarting. While I Love my Mac, it too sometimes needs a kick in the pants. Moptzar. |
|
| Das ist nicht wahr (This ain't true) by RiGee | 3 years ago |
You use melody as a well crafted tool. So much more. Moptzar. PS. I think you should keep your songs in the tongue written but selfishly I request an english rough translation just so I have some idea what I'm bopping my head to. Wouldn't want it to be anything too altogether unsorded like killing my neighbors dog and feed it to them at the next barbeque. LOL By the way, I Love hearing your stuff. |

| Letter to No One by Xannif | 3 years ago |
I thought the song was ... well, you know, ... good. but no picture? Just bustin' on ya. Keep up the good work. I dug it. Moptzar. Hey as I listen more to this song I think you should check out more of our stuff. No Falling Stars (kinder/gentler) "in particular". Maybe we could do some collab~stuff. If not, then listen to Moody Blues: "Knights in White Satin" and cry. |

| An Endeavor in Forever by Timothy | 3 years ago |
 Hey Timothy, Haven't heard your other stuff yet but I liked this piece. Although, I must say it kinda reminded me of some of my son's stuff. He's not officially on iComp yet but if ya wanna ... Google: Dark Waters End. Keep up the good work. Moptzar. |

| For A Mother by shawngiesbrecht | 3 years ago |
Hey Shawn, Loved it, Loved it and I thought it was pretty good. Have you ever checked out Anthony Phillips? The Geese And The Ghost in particular. Might give you some ideas for instrumentation and atmospheric texture. Not that this piece needs it (it's wonderful nearly naked as it is) but if this is indicative of your style you might dig hearing someone of like mind if only to validate your reality. Good Job and hope to hear more, Moptzar. PS. Wish what ever woman you wrote this for a happy mothers day for me too. Mom's are sacred. (I know, I'm surrounded by them) and it's good to hear someone else appreciate it. |

| Judgement (working title) by stevec | 3 years ago |
Hey stevec, cheer up, itâs not so bad being dark and heavy. Boy, that didnât sound right at all. Iâm just trying to say, I can empathize. I think of myself as a pretty happy go lucky guy however most of my stuff is pretty dark (as they say) in content. However, this tune intrigued me. Bare with me, this looks like itâs gonna get lengthy. I was wondering how you came up with the working title. Have you ever heard of the late Erik Braunn? Howâs about ... Iron Butterfly? In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida???!! Classic writers of opera, musical comedy and even movie soundtracks often employ themes to certain characters and explore variations on the melody to fit the mood of the plot. Well this tune of yours could well serve as the antithesis of the Iron Butterfly tune. What the heck is Moptzar talking about you ask? Just take a tablespoon of peanut butter, shove it in your face, swish it around a bit and say: âIn The Garden Of Eden.â There you have it. BOOKENDS! From the âGardenâ to âJudgementâ. (Iâm pretty sure the original guys used shrooms instead of peanut butter but I wouldnât encourage that) Iâd be interested in seeing any lyric you might have for this. I may be interested in the vox. PS. Just for laughs, here are the lyrics to the aforementioned 17 minute anthem. In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, honey, don't you know that I love you? In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, baby, don't you know that I'll always be true? All for now, keep the music coming. Moptzar. |

| The Reins Of NoWhere (Full Version) by moptzar | 3 years ago |
| Hey p, Here's what happened: I'm working on a pretty stacked but old G4 (bumped processor up to 1.4GHz ) and GB started getting sluggish with my entusiastic arrangement (So I got a little heavy handed) and I had to export premixed parts to iTunes and bring them back in as audio. Well to cut to the chase, when I went for my final export to iTunes for some reason it opened OS9 and the old old old iTunes. I'm told to disable it. Anyway, when I finally found the file it was in a QT Movie file. Go figure. But hey! thanx for all the advise. I'm dark tonight so maybe I'll have better focus to fixing it up. Thanx again, Moptzar. PS. What's your name so I can stop calling you 'p', unless that's OK. |
|
| The Reins Of NoWhere (Full Version) by moptzar | 3 years ago |
| Thank You, For the interest and critique. I must apologize for the hasty compression. Soon as I get a chance to scratch my butt I'll post a better version. Moptzar. | |
| Can You Take Me? by mikehahn | 3 years ago |
You move me, Moptzar. |
|
| Cheshire Hill by greensun | 3 years ago |
Loved It, wish I could read the lyric while I listen. Note: I generally hate that phazing sound but you used it tastefully and I dug it from git to fin. You go in my Faves to listen to. Good Luck, Moptzar. |

| EXACTLY 12 MINUTES AGO by Slappytwac | 3 years ago |
Hey Slappy, I Like ... ALOT! Good music conjures up feelings in the living things. I Got a visual of riding a hand me down bike past all my neighbors. All waves and smiles and sunlight. Then I realize I'm going a tad fast and there's no stopping but it's a beautiful spring day and I'll enjoy the breeze. Look out for that tree! I Love Your Titles Too. Guess I got to add you to my Favorites. Good Luck, Moptzar. |

| SAN_STEEL by BILLYTHEKID | 3 years ago |
| By the way I meant choices. And they're still very good. But, alas, It is tired and I am late, Moptzar. | |
| SAN_STEEL by BILLYTHEKID | 3 years ago |
Well Bill ... This is certainly tastie. Chioces the best. Instruments, Execution, Mix ... good decisions all around. All the marks of a pro. Hale to Buds. Keepem' Comin', Moptzar. |
|
| Reins Of NoWhere (part 1) by moptzar | 3 years ago |
| thanx p, It was 10 M which is more than 8 (dolt) bare with me, so I had to chop it in half as well as per Richard Geiger's advice however the whole thing is up there too. & no I don't have dial up ... YUKKK! Thanx again, Moptzar. |
|
| DAS TUT MIR LEID by RiGee | 3 years ago |
Hey Richard, Love this tune too. I really dig your work. And I can perfectly empathize waking all fuzzy headed and fuzzy mouthed wonder what her name is, where are my car keys, where are my shoes, where are my scrupples ... who the hell parked my car like that and who told the sun to be so bright???!!!! Keep 'em comin', Moptzar. |
|
| MIR GEHT´S GUT by RiGee | 3 years ago |
Wow Richard, So dig melody, instrumentation, mix and over all production. I'm pretty much an all American mut with a good deal of Germanic blood runnin' through me. Only wish I could understand it. How's about a translation? Still listening, and again I say WOW. Keep it up, Moptzar. |
|
| Outta my skin by Garni | 3 years ago |
garni, I Love this piece. All of the production is so very fine except for those horrible horn sounds but I guess nothing can be done with that and that's not your fault. But I guess it beats whistling the lines to George Martin (what McCartney use to do) and it gets the rifs out of your head and into ours. Bravo & Good Luck, Moptzar. |
|
| In My Heart by gcode | 3 years ago |
Hello G~Code, Pretty much really dug the tune. That chorussy guit makes me a little nuts but that's just a personal peave and it gets buried soon enough by otherwise excellent production. Off to hear more of yours. Good luck on sales, you should do well. Moptzar. |
|
| First Move by lux | 3 years ago |
You got a good mix of song writing abilities and sense of production. If ya wanna check out some old stuff I think you might enjoy Buddy Holly. Good Luck and keep the music coming, Moptzar. |

| Daydreaming by lux | 3 years ago |
Hey Lux, Subtle and Lovely. I completely dig it. Keep up the good work and I can't wait to hear more, Moptzar. |

| Perdition's Son by mikehahn | 3 years ago |
Yo Mike, Dug the tune lots. I'd love to have the lyric in front of me while I absorb the melody. Keep up the good work. Moptzar. |
|
| The Sidewalk Song by jolofsson | 3 years ago |
Hey J, Loved this song. Note on the vox: Maybe lighten up on the phazish FX. Other than that, it's obvious that you've taken some time with the development of this song. Take a little more time, it has potential. I Dug, Moptzar |
|
| The Reins Of NoWhere (Full Version) by moptzar | 3 years ago |
| Had to Over~Squash this one to get under 8MB. It was a bit of a project but listen to: "The Song" and let me know what you think. HEY RICHARD. Thanx for the heads up E~mail. I Super squashed it and got it down to 4 megs amazingly. I'm off today, so I'll try to figure a place to cut it in half. If you have any suggestions let me know. And thanx again, Moptzar |
|
| Like Rita & Joe by moptzar | 3 years ago |
| This needs atleast a sax (ala Stan Getz) but alas all GB sax sounds suck. Any Suggestions? | |
| The NightWatchMan by moptzar | 3 years ago |
| If You've made it this far ... ( Just for Laughs) ... Check out: "The Reins Of NoWhere". By the way, while I'm at it, If anyone can figure a good way to get this song to Spike Lee I'd surely appeciate it. Moptzar. | |
| Disillussionmentitus by BlackLily | 3 years ago |
Dear BlackLily Can't think of what this tune needs. I Loved it. I too, only use GB drum loops. Darn near every thing else is me. (You see people tend to laugh when I play drums). Anywho, back to you. You can hours just tweaking the mix but without doing so the song is still a genuine winner. It's fresh, on the edge and yet palatable. Good Luck, Moptzar. |

| Naked (dance remix) by network13 | 3 years ago |
Yo network13 You know what your doin'. You're too good at this to not be a pro. Note to engineer: Tweek Master Mix Only. Any changes to this tune are now only a matter of personal taste. I deem this mix ready to be unleashed on the planet. I remember an interview with Lennon. He said: "If it were up to me, I wouldn't have released any of the Beatle records". He didn't think the records were up to snuff. He became physically ill at the release of 'HELP'. OK So I hyperbolyze. I'm just saying don't think it to death & She's good to go. Now go out into the world and send money home. Best Wishes, Moptzar. |

| Strange Encounter by BamBoo | 3 years ago |
Wow Bam, Um... where to start and how interested are you in what I think of your stuff. . . Long Version: If this seems unbearably long, skip down to the â Short Version â. Well, let me start by saying that if I wasn't impressed I wouldnât have bothered to write anything at all. But I was drawn into your music by your excellent choices. Starting with the art work, then title, then your choice of instrumentation, and finally mix. All very tasteful and a mark of a true artist. I would love to take this piece as is and just add a thump on the one to funk it up but I wonât do so unless I get your permission. I feel breaks and hits. I also felt compelled to check out a few more of your tunes. Did I mention wow? I love your approach. You make techno liveable and your melodies VERY refreshing. I personally am trying to set my stuff in a band context. Check it out and let me know if I should go fly a kite. (Just metaphorically, No pun intended) In the mean while Iâm going back to check out more of your music. Sincerely, Moptzar Short Version: Loved it, Canât wait to hear more & Good Luck. Moptzar |

| Paganini on the Rocks by RiGee | 3 years ago |
 Hey Richard, Thanx for the Review on SunnyBrook Sue. Ichecked out this tune and I saw you were having probs w/ genre. I think you have the right category now but I also think this music is crying out for a heavy Tango. Just a thought but I did just wake up. Good Luck. MOPTZAR |
|
| SunNYbrook Sue by moptzar | 3 years ago |
| Far from complete but I thought I'd throw it out there to see if it was worth working on. Let Me Know. MJM | |
| Windmills of your mind by PaulHansen | 3 years ago |
Yo Paul, Well I gotta tell ya I saw the title of this song and I thought ... Oh boy. But now that I listen and I think ... kool. Just one critique = distorted tamb but then again it could be in the download. Keep up the good work. Moptzar |

| Chan Chan by PaulHansen | 3 years ago |
Hey Paul, I Dig. Don't know a lick of Spanish but this is very enjoyable. Nice stereo work. Hell, nice everything. I'll have to post some of my Brazillian inspired Stuff for ya. And thanx again for the critique on my vox. It will be noted for my next session. Moptzar |
