Losing the Light
I really like this genera from you Rob. I;m not sure I've heard you do Electronica before. Some nice rhythms that are understated but keep everything moving and a dark lyric a great vocal. Great work!
It does have that dark feel to it, i like the music, it builds up the tension nicely. Good song and lyrics !
A track with depth to it. LOVE the lead vocal and the harmonies. Keep up the productivity!!
Yeah has a right feeling of foreboding. A light yet weighty touch of a Middle eastern mix I felt...but with some right sharp evil teeth grinning away there in the murk somewhere. (my imagination sometimes gets the better of me:) k
Cool atmospheric track, Rob. The sparsity of the instrumentation helps create that dark eerie ambience and I like the poetic lyrics. Great work; well done.
Cheers David ... and yes all vox is me.
Turn the lights up pull back the curtains, a bit creepy, dark indeed! That you on the backing vocals too? Giving it a second listen, enjoyin' this mood. Thumbs up!
Appreciate the comments guys.. Thanks
dark is needed... at times...for perspective and contrast...but not as a destination ;) This is a bit foreboding...but that 's the point ...nice harmonies and lead vocal! Beats,snaps and thumps push you along...minimal strings just hint at mystery in the dark...lyrics say it all...fine haunting tune! :)
Nice song...
A musical path that streches back a long long long way in bands and as a solo artist. 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 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
