Tortishead:)

Retro drums in the intro made me wonder where this was going, then a great introduction of the panning beat to give the trk an uneasy drunken structure. It's like glitched up Portishead and that can be no bad thing. Now all you need is a lead singer with a voice as amazing as Beth Gibbons and job done:) good luck!!!! Cool stuff man, I would liked to have heard some cheeky little scratches in there as well, would've sounded cool.

I talked to Beth and ushe said she was unavailable :(

See if you can talk her into helping me out would you?

:D

Thanks!

Thumpity Thump.

Well, u know me, not a techno fan as such, but this is ok. Nice thump to it and as per usual your progressions and arrangement are quality.
Nice stuff.
Hope alls good with you mate. Have to catch up with u on MSN sometime.
Take it easy.

DJRunaway responds:

I think this is kinda monotone... Just a little :) Could have been great, ended like this :P Anyway, thanks for the review man; we really need catchin' up 2 do :)

Peace,

Eh up...

...Cool little slice of DnB here matey:) I like the video gamey sounds mixed with the DnB style. i would like to have heard the beats and bass a little dirtier, but it sounds cool and I reckon you could go back and add to this nicely.
Take it easy mate.

DJRunaway responds:

Thanks weekz :) I'll try to follow your advice, since you're my musical mentor :) Thanks alot man!

Greetz,

yeah

...yeah, this is alright. i'm not a fan of that synthesized guitar sound at all, but the melody it plays is nice enuff. The sounds are all quite basic and techno biased, but the production is good. I think you should get some really nice drums in there as there's nothing to kick the trk along. Try adding a really strong kick and snare drum, I reckon it'll sound much fuller and add that extra foot-tapping feel to your trk.
take it easy.

Finally a critic review! Thank you very much!

Sounds nice

Nice little tune right here, I often like to do the same thing, making a whole track out of just one sound and seeing where it goes. This has a nice flow to it and builds up nicely, you could even try adding distortion to the wave in a lofi fashion and making into a beat, might sound cool.
Kinda reminds me of a fairground carousel spinning round, would be good to see it set to a flash of that nature.
Good stuff.

Quality

You're definately right, it definately blooms! Isn't it often the way that you have to explain that ambient music builds just so people don't turn off in the first 30 secs. I like the sounds you've used, nice use of reverbs and glitchy blips. It's chilled but with a dark edge to it which I like alot, not too sure bout the voice part though, perhaps run it through some effects to get it a bit more lo-fi so it works nicely with the retro blips.
Good stuff man.

Gillenium responds:

lol, I like the voice part! Mostly cause it's my voice :) Thanks for the review! You rock too, man. I rarely give reviews, but I might have to drop by your page later and give one...

Eerie

As if you are lost in a darkened underground tube-station, you hear all these noises around you just waiting for the train to come:) Would be great in a movie or game for creating a dark and brooding ambience.

Prolicks responds:

Awesome dude!! Thanks a lot!

I Like It

Simple and effective, nice dirty sub-bass sound!
Would be good if you developed it with some more variance in the drums and some other synth sounds.

EsMatiCSounDs responds:
