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

4 me "drill you" has the same feeling that Ziggomatic 17 by
aphextwin becouse of this drum turning point at 1:52

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.

nahh... those tracks just need some lil regrip and thats
all:)
maybe i could help/co produce or like remix you man.
it could be fun:)

Points: 2355 Status: Lurker



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
