[Inktober #10 - Summer Stuff 2024]

Lovely reflective vibes with this one! Nostalgic too even though I don't recall the original from back in the day (listened back and that one was great as well). A lifetime of growth since then too! Great stuff and happy 10th anniversary :)

Cyberdevil responds:

Thank you man. Definitely noticing how my vocals have changed since, though in terms of wordplay it feels like I was a lot more poetic back then, maybe it's true creativity peaks somewhere in your twenties... though then again, totally different timeframe for writing!

Thank you! Can't wait do this again 2034 and see what's in store then. :P

[Inktober #9 - A Quick Fix]

Nice vocal layering on this one and tight acapella rhymes too! Hope the back feels better soon. I need to work on that on my end too... Keep up the great work!

Cyberdevil responds:

Think I went a bit overboard with the layering on this one myself, but thanks! XD You've got back issues too huh, seems a thing everyone's dealing with these days! Hope you too manage to make that back feel truly new real soon dude!

[Inktober #8 - From The Road]

Really liked this one. Although it's nice to have some beats in there, sometimes it's just nice to isolate the flows and focus on the rhymes :) Nice little breath riser coming in there too! Great stuff!

Cyberdevil responds:

Thank ya Nick. :) It's nice to record like this once in a while too, no need to adlib or layer or match the tempo of an instrumental... maybe makes for a different state of mind and style of writing too.

Aaand an audible initial breath is called a breath riser in studio lingo huh, good to know! XD

Cheers man; glad you liked this, despite the vices!

[Inktober #7 - For The Road]

Hehe, does seem to be consistent trip every year doesn't it! Definitely giving me vibes from older years. And congrats on the new car! Enjoy (both trip and car)!

Cyberdevil responds:

Yupp. :) Well thank you, though just a rental! I don't actually own this Brand New Volvo V90 Cross Country AWD Automatic!

[Inktober #6 - Perception]

Fast flows on this one CD! Great use of the adlibs and backing too! Eminem vibes this time :) The unexpected acapella 2nd half really stuck out with this one. Some great lyrical lines in there too! Great stuff! Was this a first time collab?

FantasistEldrun responds:

I guess... ^^' (not sure of what first time means here)

Anyway thanks for the review, hope Cyberdevil's gonna see it :D

[Inktober #5 - Skeleton Dance]

2 days in a row with FoD! More Gorillazy vibes too. Loved that Amen Break fill btw XD Nicely done all around!

Cyberdevil responds:

Amen Break huh... the most sampled drum beat in history (according to Google)! :O Still picking up new gems in the realm of audio lore in your reviews here, good to know about!

And thank you. Read that as Godzilla at first, thought I must be subconsciously doing the same rhyme schemes every day lately. XD Gorillaz hmm... I guess it does have a similar kind of vibe too! Creatively groovy, with more than just the groove to it. TY TY again!

[Inktober #4.5 - Colt What You Want]

Hehe, FoD and CD is always great combo! Nice loose drunk swinging with this one, and the vibe reminds me of something from Gorillaz (Plastic Beach era :D). Nice to hear some 3/4 time rap vibes too. Not a common occurance :) Great stuff peeps!

Cyberdevil responds:

Must've gotten a pretty good vibe going on after all if it reminds of Gorillaz. :D They did have some of this slower flow fo sure, didn't realize I was doing 3/4 time here either... thank you thank you!

[Inktober #4 - The Freeze]

Ah dang! Really loving the sound design as usual Larry, and CD you did a great job the lyrics and vocal delivery here! I shouldn't be surprised, but it was an unexpected but amazing combination having rap vocals on this track. Very different (especially to the general hiphop scene's sound). Really great stuff! Hope to hear even more collabs between the two of you this month. Front Paged too! Well done peeps!

Cyberdevil responds:

Thank you thank you! Proud of this one too. Sometimes it just turns out so right, adlibs and everything, just need to keep improving annucniation... hope for more too for sure! Much obliged; thanks for all the reviews!

[Inktober #3 - Don't Wait]

Great message, fast and tight flows, really impressive CD! First acapella of the month is setting that bar high! Nicely done :D

Cyberdevil responds:

Thank you thank you, hope the rest of 'em don't disappoint either! Cheers JB!

[Tunetober24 #03]

Daaaaymn! Hardhitting and lovely sound design / choice of sounds! And you only spent 2.5 hours on this?! Super impressed Larry! Keep up the great work! I gotta up my electronic music game (and speed)! Inspiring :)
