I aint keen on clouds either. But this track I do like. Goes off in all directions but always comes back to it's scary Roots. In parts of this I can imagine Scooby and Shaggy being chased down a hall. Samples are pure class. This whole track is finished as always to the highest standard. Gets a rate from me. Baz

JD Comment by Black Wookie  on 08 November 2006   View Artist Page   I remember the original. This has come one hell of a long way from that. Still makes me think of driving along in a tired haze man. Gotta have a copy of this. Rated. Comment by chrome logic  on 31 October 2006   View Artist Page   man this track has a seriously powerful edge to it and that intro vox adds mystery, now I even wanna know whats behind the damn curtain lol..serious though, this is a masterpiece Rated and recd Jase Comment by gildean4  on 30 October 2006   View Artist Page   God I love this piece. I jump to your page here to take a listen. Really great texture and emotional line you developed. As I follow it you develop it exactly how you want it to go! It is very reminiscent of Donnie. It's like a big deep juicy glass of red wine. Very intoxicating. : ) Comment by Fractal Garden  on 24 October 2006   View Artist Page   Sounds tailor-made for a sci-fi movie soundtrack. I'm surmising the trumpet has significance with relation to other tracks on your concept CD, as this appears to be a story being told over several tracks. Nicely produced. Thanks for sharing it. Jay Comment by Mat Richardson  on 21 October 2006   View Artist Page   This is my favourite track Paul, really love this, got such a great feel to it, gets better every time I listen to it. Comment by roxor  on 20 October 2006   View Artist Page   Nice one. If I said Jean Michelle Jarre would you be offended?! I wouldn't personally! Great synth sounds mate and A1 production - love it! Comment by noodle69  on 15 October 2006   View Artist Page   loved it Comment by Nick Ward  on 14 October 2006   View Artist Page   Lovely stuff! Doesn't need vocals, especially Phil Collins vocals! Nice as it is, even the trumpet. Keep it up. Comment by Neil Constance  on 14 October 2006   View Artist Page   Wow, I really love the edge on the sounds you chose, they fit together flawlessly. The distorted-ish part that comes in reminds me of the theme music in Forza Motorsport (a game for XBox.) I would have done more with that goofy trumpet sample but the song is fine as it is. Love the ambience, rated. Comment by THE-EVER-EXPANDING-DARK  on 13 October 2006   View Artist Page   This is some of the best stuff on mp3 unsigned. Bloody good job. If you fancy a collab and want some guitar stuff on your tunes let me in on it... Comment by bob brannon  on 09 October 2006   View Artist Page   Hi Paul, This is awesome !!! very tasteful from beginning to end, Commanded my attention with it's ambient heaviness I instantly started hummin Phil Collins type vocs to it The song stands on it's own as it is brilliant, but if you'd like to here some voc ideas...PM me and let me know Bob Comment by Carol Kirkpatrick  on 09 October 2006   View Artist Page   Congratulations on making the charts again Paul! :) Comment by Candy Clown  on 09 October 2006   View Artist Page   Fantastic synth sounds!

It would fit smoothly in a movie no problem. Excellent work Paul Andy :) Comment by smalllife 2006  on 05 October 2006   View Artist Page   second visit! Ace! Comment by RDM   on 05 October 2006   View Artist Page   Cool intro, nice juno-synths appear if i'm correct. Cool pads, synths, really chilled track, like thos flowing spacy synthlines half-way. Great stuff. rated and nominated! Comment by Tacx  on 04 October 2006   View Artist Page   Awsome man - im back again Comment by Mark Ellis  on 03 October 2006   View Artist Page   Well, I have to say that this is very good, and I found it very well put together, I like the "ambience" of the piece, and although I am far from being an expert on electronic music, it seems like a quality track to me, great atmosphere, well constucted, with good instrumentation...liked the changes throughout and it kept my attantion till the ned... nice one!! Comment by Incidental Fusion  on 02 October 2006   View Artist Page   This is only the 2nd track I've felt genuinely inspired to leave comments for on tonights listening spree. Really rich evolving sounds and love the way it's all layered together. Big thumbs up from me! Comment by Slippy-T  on 02 October 2006   View Artist Page   Tiges??

Way to go! :) Comment by BFB  on 01 October 2006   View Artist Page   This represents every thing good about electronic music. A lot of depth!!. I love this music. Wish I new how to do this. Thanks for letting me listen. Comment by Carol Kirkpatrick  on 01 October 2006   View Artist Page   Adventureous. Trippy. Movie-like. Dark/Light. All the right elements for voting and nominating! Nice production Paul! :) Comment by fudgepacker  on 01 October 2006   View Artist Page   wow, this is big. Me like Comment by Tacx  on 30 September 2006   View Artist Page   Amazing soundscaping Funking awesome another Reason user that sucessfully manages to get rid of the reason sound :) My onmly worry is that the kick is a little too deep Comment by ConKuss  on 30 September 2006   View Artist Page   Nice intelligent music here, good, clear, yet deeply distant sound to the whole thing - a masterstroke of production in many ways. There's some original sounding synth sounds here too, makes it stand above a lot of other tunes I've heard of this type. Good work all round - Rated for the atmosphere. Comment by Valued Points  on 30 September 2006   View Artist Page   this is a nice ride.. sounds kinda depeche, I guess it is the 'dark' sound or something. with some of their stuff. intro was interesting. keys and sounds were nice . Comment by jaymzleeshaw  on 29 September 2006   View Artist Page   Hey this is sweet!! Really melodic and chilled! Love the feel to it and the production sounds prefessional and acomplished. I dont usually return comments as a matter ofcourse but i know u've rated smalllife from the start and im now glad ive stopped by! Im gonna have a smoke and play this on repeat for a bit! Downloaded, rated and Nommed! Comment by acrosoma  on 29 September 2006   View Artist Page   Nice vibe..propar chillin me out to be fair. I have listened to a fair few trax this morning and they are all completely different, sent my emtions into outerspace! Nice pad work..the atmospher conjured is real sweet. Really into your percussion too..just right for the mix. Like the notes you hot too..nice melodic patterns..simple but effective, peace. Comment by The Tartan Rascals  on 29 September 2006   View Artist Page   normally a window if your looking from the inside out,,,lol just kidding (in reference to the audio intro) nicely put together and I like the kinda 80's synth sounds ..why dont you get some collabs going with this sound I think it would only enhance it. rated Comment by Alan Corbould  on 28 September 2006   View Artist Page   Very tasty. I just closed my eyes and let it take me. Super production keeps it interesting but keeps the underlying message. I'm learning more about this style since joining this site and really apprecitating it more. Well done and Rated. Comment by m4rt3z  on 28 September 2006   View Artist Page   WOW! quality track bud! Very chilled track with nice azz drums, but then best part of the track was that delayed raspy synth! very trancy of you! lol is that trumpet to see if the commenter listened to the end? lol or is it the touch of madness you are know for? anyways Rated and nominated! best of luck with it bud! Comment by dave pugh  on 28 September 2006   View Artist Page   very enjoyable, well produced,mixed. like the way the trumpet cuts in! good one this . dave. Comment by Jennifer Rafferty  on 28 September 2006   View Artist Page   This is another cool track! i love the strings and synths in this one! and another interesting intro! I like it!! your tracks are arranged so well! great stuff! Rated and nom! Jen :) x Comment by Redshirt Theory  on 27 September 2006   View Artist Page   opening speech is cool, but that opening b-line arpy deal is to die for. then the lush violins make you wanna hug someone. getting an early moby feel. damn dude, the beat just dropped, very nice. perfect for this track. gonna press every button here. damn that killer synth just came in! bro this is by far your best track i heard outta ya, and ive been a fan. whoa!!!! Comment by MD-1 Project  on 27 September 2006   View Artist Page   top track paul can hear the changes big time cool synth sounds melodies are bang on yeah really nice flow dude love the synths m8 the bubly one is massive :) thumbs are up   FX 8 Comment by Nickjam and the Meena  on 03 July 2007   View Artist Page   Like the 80s influence in this Comment by Jennifer Rafferty  on 12 December 2006   View Artist Page   I couldn't help but nod my head back and forth to this one!! I looked like the Churchill dog! lol! great stuff... very catchy! thumbs up from me! Jen x Comment by Redshirt Theory  on 08 December 2006   View Artist Page   back at this one so cool Comment by foonk  on 07 December 2006   View Artist Page   Made me think of Felix when the octaved synth line came in....It's a nice one....would prefer a more stomping kick on it and maybe a hi-nrg bass but I really enjoyed the listen. Kevin Mooney. Comment by ditheramb  on 07 December 2006   View Artist Page   God the SH101 , i havent seen or heard one of those for years. I hear they are quite collectable now. And listening to this i remember why. I realy like this alot, great sound and whole slightly retro feel to it. yeh and i do love the drum breakdown towards the end. This one gets my rating Steve Comment by FXMAN  on 07 December 2006   View Artist Page   rated m8 Comment by FXMAN  on 07 December 2006   View Artist Page   thx for ya comment m8, this track his right on the money fx8 godlike:) Comment by phil  on 28 November 2006   View Artist Page   always a great listen man!!! once again excellent!!! great tone throughout... rated Comment by Emmavin  on 28 November 2006   View Artist Page   Cool track, nicely retro - reminds me of JMJ in places. Will listen to some more of your stuff. Comment by NPC  on 26 November 2006   View Artist Page   It has some nice vintage feeling, which is good:) Beautiful timbres. I'd used more background sounds though... anyway, that's good track, rated. Comment by Ben Hales  on 25 November 2006   View Artist Page   Hi X Destri, thanks for your kind comments! I used Reason 2 for both tracks, and with the Linda Scott, just one or two touches up with Cubase. This FX8 track of yours sounds very good, much more "clarity of sound" than in mine - will check your other tunes out. Comment by MarkAlexander  on 25 November 2006   View Artist Page   NIce,,this has the quality X-Destri trademark style all over over it. Perfectly fitting with your other tracks ive heard. Great sounds, and it does take you back to the 80's. Drum beats sound really good too! Rated for sure! Mark Comment by Tacx  on 24 November 2006   View Artist Page   LUSH SPOT ON FOOKING CRUNKY MAN Comment by Redshirt Theory  on 24 November 2006   View Artist Page   if only you had a nother chance to realease this stuff in the 80's man, ued be a multimillionaire and they would have shows about "Where is destri now?" and it would pan in and youd be in a suit running your new buisness, thinking fondly back at the old times when you use to rock it. anyways, youknow im digging this 80's style lately, and this is epically 80's and that snare is to die for. this is rated for sure, and im writing in my notes to hit this up next week Comment by m4rt3z  on 24 November 2006   View Artist Page   Well in the true spirit of X Destri style Arp basslies this is one of the finest! Some sweet ass drums too! sounds like a 80s rock kit. Like the synth that sits on top of the bass too very 'raspy'! lol Liking the tremolo hi string too! Some nice warm synths youve got going on here Paul! never knew the Sh-101 to have such nice sounds but damn bud youve made them sound sweet! WOW loving the drum solo part! now thats what i call style! i was waiting for the breakdown to sound like the 80s electro thing you usual do (Which i love lol) but the drum, solo was kick ass! lol all back into the action again and everythings flowing sweet! Ok finished and like the little synth line at the end, just ends the track quite nicely! All in all a stompingly great track with an awesome (How american do i sound in this comment lol) drum solo and some sweet synths! Rated and nominated! best of luck with it bud! Marty Comment by Mark Ellis  on 24 November 2006   View Artist Page   mmm nice rythm, 7 rex drum loops??? duh! well, sounds good to me mate! Nice synth sounds... do you guys still use synths? I don't know... anyway... I enjoyed listening to this! Comment by Black Wookie  on 24 November 2006   View Artist Page   Damn infectious dude! Can't get it out of my head now. Can I hear a Gary Numan vibe in there somewhere..... Rated for sure! Comment by MD-1 Project  on 24 November 2006   View Artist Page   nice melodys m8 :) really nice & lush synth sounds :) toe tapper for sure m8 had me bobing along to it, top stuff very nice slice of electronica thumbs up
