The Fantom Man Feat. St3v3L33

Inhale The Good Vibes

Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Wednesday evening (or when we receive 200 submissions, whichever is sooner) - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 17 Apr 2023: from Friday afternoon you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch484

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves or on the BBC Music Introducing Mixtape during the last three months — we ask that artists featured on either wait three months before resubmitting to give others a chance. 

We also don’t accept short previews or SoundCloud Go tracks that can only be heard as 30 second previews, and tracks made private after submission, which cannot be included in playlists. You will be able to resubmit the track in future. Tracks (and remixes of tracks) that have been previously submitted, and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

CONFLICTED Feat. St3v3L33

This a story about an emotional journey to the end ......Haunting sax by Steve Peck!

Trust the Doc Ed.72

"I could quite justifiably have reviewed The Fantom Man Feat. St3v3L33 and the track The End in the Jazz and International Journeys section given how much it is based on reverberating sax improv and rich jazz-infused piano chords but he calls it Ambient and, in essence, it is because of the way he has spaced out the sounds, put them through echo and other effects and created an enigmatic sound world. It is very musical and full of inventiveness with great dynamic contrasts and an ending that sees the track quietly deconstruct as unaccompanied sax fades into the ether. Beautifully put together and very listenable." Dr Neil March 300922

THE END Feat. St3v3L33

Atmospheric neo-jazz with hints of electronic. Moving, musical improv sax by Steve Peck.

**Track selected for Fresh on the Net's #EcelcticPicks Batch 466 **

Trust the Doc Blog Ed 74 review!! 👍😎🎷🎹

"The latest offering from The Fantom Man could arguably be described as Ambient Jazz. Gent El Saxo features St3v3L33 and it places TFM’s echoing saxophone switching between a cool melody and bits of improv while the backdrop is more like a downtempo electronic track with programmed beat and sounds coming in and out of the mix behind the sax which dominates throughout. It has a kind of calming atmosphere and the contrast between the organic and the electronic works really well."

"The Fantom Man returns with Ponder. A tidily arranged ambient instrumental that has some lovely jazz-infused chords and playing, it is an agreeably upbeat major key instrumental in which he manages to bring a plethora of timbres into the mix while the main two-chord sequence holds centre stage as an accompaniment to sweet melodic motifs. Music that warms the heart." Trust the Doc Blog  Dr Neil March 310323

PONDER

THE FANTOM MAN – Transcend (Ft. St3v3L33)
4.00 Another immersive and atmospheric instrumental from electro wizard The Fantom Man, who’s a veteran of this playlist and regularly reviewed on Neil’s Trust The Doc blog. Here TFM collaborates with St3v3L33 (Worthing musician Steve Peck) who sounds in places as if he’s channelling whalesong through his tenor sax. Once again, a no-brainer for this week’s Eclectic Picks.
