When Something Ain't Right
It's one of my all-time favourites on mp3unsigned (top 5 for me Rob behind a couple o KtA's and maybe one from Tony Miller). Easy to find the time to listen dude. The chorus is mint dude and has all the emo in buckets.
Andy loads of thanks for a re-listen in.. Mucho appareciated
Let's giv this one a little push while i listen to the new one slippy. BTW this, despite my early crits is a classy bit of music with a great vibe
Hello Rob Love that dirty beat...and the reggea like bassline is awesome... Rob the vocal style and structure is brilliant....i dont think there could be another melody that would work to that music which you have laid down as the song bed... Great clarity and sound quality also. Because the beat tends to keep its self to itself the vocals need to deliver and they do a fine job of reaching that goal. Easy listening track, almost haunting at times, a kinda neo soul feel also.. Nice one rob Dave
quality Rob Very Massive attack! I have nothing to add other than praise for this, enjoyed every bit of bit particular - the drums, very nice vibe
beats beats beats....awesome beats! nice bline, deeeeeep....good vox/lyrics....nice tunage!
So much to like about this, dig the lo-fi mix and that's one outstanding beat you're working with. Funky guitar really put a smile on my face and I the vocals are superb, lead and background. Well done!
interesting track.... at first I didnt care for the drum track with the scratch left in it, however after the instrumentation kicked in it fit quite well... very urban sounding... i get an early stevie wonder vibe kinda... love the distorted wurlitzer... choice that is! love the subdued brass also.... lyrics are cool and the backing vox are as well... the more i listened the more that backbeat worked for me... dig the tune! Mark
Thanks for you both for takin time to look and have a listen and tahnkyou for the gracious comments.. Very much appreciated. Rob
Wow, I like the Bass Drum. It has a good short tiny rumble to it. But a cleeeean rumble. Very nice snare. Like a cracking snap. The metals sound a little high in the ranges and seem slightly distorted from that but no probs. I can hear the song! Now comes the words. Excellent voice for the type of song. I love the pad synth in the background. It sounds very moving and emotionally filled with drifting gloomy sensations. No problems with the background harmonies. I would've turned them up a "tiny itty bitty bit" but with the ooooing it sounds great. I'll be honest that I'm on my monitoring station but there IS a cheaper card in this particular computer so that could be why I hear a slight miscalculation in the metals. This is a nice dreamy song. I love the emotion it grabs you with. I can't but help listening to it again. If I ever feel down, I'm going to listen to this. Wonderful stuff. Definitely worth a rate! Have a great day, man!
Digging that base line kick off. This has a great soul vibe to it but with a 2000's sound. Very cool track. ya very cool! Rate! Eric Bad Love Junkie
Ahhh bless yer beautiful eyes Bernadette.. With you andy giving me soem input it gives me good guidance as to where some chnges could be wrought. Thankyou again for your cool comments Rob
Very cool track, Rob! Especially love your lyrics this time, which mirror the situation you sing about so well. Hot keys! The voc part and its vibe/fx from 1.07 - 1.35 is very cool, before it transforms itsself to a more "whiteish" feel. I guess and this reflects my personal taste only,I'd prefer it if the first voc fx would continue in some way, also because it may match better the chilled overall feel of the track? Anyway, great track! Cheers :-)
I guess it just about passes for soul music dude. Great vibe when the keys come in. Couldn't make out much of the opening vox - too much echo n stuff goin on but it sounded effective. Again some really cool chordwork. Getting a small Temptations vibe circa 1970 which is also v cool. I think a bluesier sort of phrasing on the vox would be great if you cud do it. Yeah it's really good dude but wished you spent a little more time on the vox when the key changes - you kinda drift up into the note but only a small crit. Easy rate and great vibe
Slippy-T ... A variety of music tastes and styles.. Composer,producer, vocalist ...
A musical path that streches back a long way. The pleasurable part is I'm very much still enjoying my music in all of its varied guises. There's always time to listen to music but precious few hours to sit down and and get creative with it, which makes it all the more valuable to me.
Its been blinking ages since I've heard a Slippy T effort, absolute yonks. Bleak (February 2008) was my last encounter and before that a year had passed since Ain't This Just the Feeling 2 (JB Tribute) (January 2007). The reason I mention this is because I have known Rob Taylor (aka Slippy T) since forever and believe me, this guys fingerprints were everywhere back in the day. In the meantime,
The funky monkey strikes again! For those who spend most of their life off-planet, or in whatever place they go to, almost at the end of last year we lost one of the funkiest human beings ever to have lived, the late lamented Mr James Brown Funk Sould Brother #1. Considering the impact this one man has had on todays music it was painful to see the extremely small amount of online mourn
Already mentioned this artist once this month in my review of Conkuss, yet another mate from a few years back who has just re-appeared on the scene. As many of you already know, I have a very soft spot for this vocalist whose highly distinctive style - I've found anyway - people either love or hate. I like what he does and always have and he has consistently given me aural pleasure (Oo
The more you know about an artist, the less surprised by them you are. You become sure of their style, their way of doing things and you begin to expect it. Not so with some artists however, and those are the ones - in my mind - who have the longevity to see that they are forever evolving their style - no matter what their physical age. Take Rob Taylor (aka Slippy T) for an obvio
Righty just got home and my fingers are to cold to type! but already the track is making me want to type, firstly on first impression i like it, its got a nice warm feel to it, this track has a nice mix of sounds in it, its quite hard to put into a stright catergory, but it covers more than what it says on the tin, which holds my interest. The synth sounds that you ha
After the surprise You Left Me (a collab with Greybrow I reviewed last month), I must admit to looking forward to this to see if what had happened on You Left Me had translated to his own material. I am mighty pleased to report that it has indeed and done so on what to my mind is one of the best Slippy T tracks I have heard for a good long while. That may well have to do with the fact
Addiction, ah let me count the ways.... See you in a couple of years :D Way back in the day (wtf DOES that mean anyway?) when I was only slightly younger and less crumbly than I am at present, I hung out on an 'instant music' site. Not because I needed a quick fix, but because - to my surprise - I found some very competent musicians on their who were making anything but instant
The first MP3 Unsigned artist I am reviewing this month is a guy I've known forever. Rob Taylor aka Slippy T and I have knocked around many of the same websites for years and in that time he has become a firm favourite of mine. He's also a nice, regular bloke and as we all know that helps a lot around here. It also helps if you have a USP (Unique Selling Point) and Slippy has one
I would have to be ear blind to not know of Mr Slippy T. What makes this guy tick? He is prolific as hell. I think this guy could write a song a day. While some people take vitamins to get going Slippy T writes a new song. What about those songs? Solid song writing from a solid song writer. He is consistent and interesting in his approach. Bottom end is always important
The first time I ever really noticed the work of Rob Taylor (aka Slippy T) was about three years ago over on the Ejay site. In amongst all those Black Box clones and other assorted 'dance' rubbish that that site was (in)famous for were some really stunning - and extremely original - artists. Many of them are much better known these days, names such as The Dead Company, Delivery System, Xanthe, K
Ok this is a bit of a different track from Rob and a very interesting one at that.The track starts off with a very industrial sounding beat which is constructed very nicely. On first listen i thought this was all there was to the song as it does go on for a fair bit before anything else happens.Well when this does happen about half way through the track this is where the song really begins to tak
As I have stated previously, I am not knowledgable in this style. That being said, I'm starting to understand the differences in the listed styles. I thoroughly enjoy listening to a still unfamiliar medium, and having a chance to review the style. I was blown away by another song of Slippy-T's, Blast, which was an adrenaline uptake. This one had a completely different, and equally enjoyab
