These are nice little gems. Good overall musical entertainment quality and has cex/orange dust-ish feel. Do you mostly use fruity loops too?

Sunset could be on "I care Becouse you do..." exacly the same feeling like track on that lp.
start of estrus sounds preety dubby. next part (0:48-2:18) reminds me last afx performances with hudge poundin jungle drums.
acid part sounds oldschool
superacid has some great minimoog like sounds(wasp?). not much to say.
Tacky Tyrant could be little more pushed forward with melody in it. you could add some pads or smthin blured above the rest sounds, but that only my opinion.
whole ep sounds good. but... there were piplz making music advanced at the same point and with the same ideas years ago. you could try to add a "your own ideas" layer on those track. that could sound interesting.

It's an odd world! You know exactly what retapes demo needs but you haven't done anything! We need you in charge.

haha, you got it all figured out. :]
superacid 09 is covered with the hideous roland mc-09 and sh101.dll.
tacky tyrant was a tricky one to finish and I wanted it to be kind of cunning/sly (or whatever word to use) so I left it where it's at. I don't think it needs more, at least not that version of it.
and thanks for the comments, they help making the next EP 90% pro!

Heres some of that bitter constructive critisism, written as i was listening to the tracks:
Drill you: It's all very well and drukqssky, with some nice elements and sounds, but overall, it didnt do anything much for me. The melody seems a bit weak. I think it should be accentuated some more. Right now it just sounds like some very detailed beats, with some stuff on them. Maybe some kind of chord progression, and more attention to creating a memorable melody would be in it's place
Sunset: It starts off with a sample i've heard in 10.000 other songs, wich kinda bums me off. Apart from that, the melody in this one is much simpler, but also a lot better IMO. Sounds kind of naively happy, wich i like. This track is actually kind of good.
I say, loose the funky drummer boy. I don't think it's old enough to be cool, but it's still to old to be used right now. OR, you could save the track and try to market it in 2017, and say, "remember what IDM sounded like 20 years ago?"
Apart from that, i quite like the track. I LIKE it, but the chances of me listening to it ever again are slim.
Estrus: The buildup in this one is very cool. And then... Amen! Got the same thing to say about that one, as i did with your funky drummer boy sample.
People have cut this beat up endlessly. Sure, it does sound great, but theres nothing fresh about it, and nothing retro about it either IMO. I can really imagine the Rephlex A&R guy listening to this for 1 minute, throw it away and loudly saying "theres another one for the pile".
The acid like ending, is kinda good. People could dance to this, wich is good. It makes you wanna dance.
Superacid 09: The atonal melody is kinda interesting. I think the cymbal splashes are a bit to dominant in the beginning. It's nice when it gets all acidy, and with chords. But then it stops that, and doesnt go anywhere. What about adding layers, as it progresses, chord progression, more details as it goes along. Make it epic!

Tacky Tyrant: Nice title i think. Nice fucked up sounds at times. Nice details from time to time. Nothing much to say.
So to sum it all up, it sounds kind of promising, but get some new drum samples! It's not bad at all, but it's not giving me a hard-on either.
I could imagine that you program the beats first, and then create a melody on top of that afterwards. Maybe you should try it the other way around. Try going for a long walk or bike ride, and think about melodies. Then start making a track, with a vision. Right now i think your music isnt much more than "sick beats" with blipetty blopetty on top (wich is alright i guess). It could be so much more!

woot, thanks all! I see what you mean, Dirty. I'm still in love with those breaks, but that might just be me. :]
so next EP I will:
- spam it to staz (nudges included) - change some .wav-files - add more lush melodies
