first time I am hearing your stuff so I dont know..if the
band name is chalk mouth or champion orange..excuse my
ignorance...

very cool song..but it's just a bit incongruent...the first
drill bit..upto about 40 secs doesnt really work for me in
the context of the rest of the song...which has got an
excellent melody and bass line...when the drill bits start
after all your parts are going its..well brilliant...it's
just the first 30 seconds that need to be integrated a bit
better..maybe a hint of the melody or the pads as the drill
workout is going on..I dont know..but..yes an excellent
song...

megaloskizk (tuniq oil is an faq) by champion orange
(illfates)

You probably won't even read this since I found this post
burried beneath heaps of rubble. THis track REALLY likes me.
Or I like it... or something. Flea, check out this one if
you heard only the other... it's fantastic. You're using
good quality sounds which is beyond what I'm able to do
currently with no microphone or anything. I like music where
the sounds are thick and real but constructed with a precise
computer (like windowlicker) THe whole song is wicked, the
crazy voice-ish samples to the beautiful melody at the end
which would have been nice looping forever but instead
modestly finished after one solo loop. Classy. Send this to
a label phartphace.

I'll bring this to the top again with two fairly unrelated
items:
1) www.mp3.com/dannn is good stuff (some tracks betr than
others- similar to otto von schirach and richard devine
perhaps)
2) soulseek seems to be down quite often for me
("temporarily down" message), same for anyone else or is my
analogue engine just acting up like usual.

I listened to "pig and moose" and then listened to my own
song "reverse tooth pick eater 2"
(www.mp3.com/artificialselection) and my song sounded quite
patheticish in comparison, which was humorous sort of. I
listened to chalk mouth, it seemed pretty good too but not
as good as the other mp3 link up there. I'll probably put
them to cd sometime since I finally deleted this retarded
program "quicktime" that doesn't let you download stuff
right.

Hmmm. Tunic Oil is alright. Chalk Mouth is a little better.
Not the best beats programming, but not bad, mind you.

downloaded:chalk mouth

opinion:synths were ok - but just looped which was
disappointing and causing a lack of movement. hated the
percussion sequencing - lacked cohesion, balance, thought,
intelligence - maybe this is punk drill n bass, i dono.

marlowe.. are you kidding me?

the harmony modulates all over the fucking place.. I'm just
going to assume that post was a joke.

ooh..the last two are pretty nice...like the melodies and
beats
i think i prefer these to the first two tracks from this
thread
youve done a pretty good job of replicating aphex's
style...if thats what you were trying to do...definetly keep
going though...i can tell youre in the process of developing
your own style
on your way to being very good, methinks

some of it has been trying to replicate rdj's style, but not
all to intentionally. I just listen to so much aphex that a
lot of the things that sound "good" to me are things that
remind me of his music. I've also followed a really really
similar path with the software I've used.. I feel like I'm
pretty much moving into my own territory now.

I want to release an album.. I'm absolutely ready, and I've
waited five years and have to start somewhere.

The way I see it, RDJ has organized sound perfectly... don't
even worry about "copying" him, just keep making excellent
music and it'll have a good chance sounding similar since
what he does is the most logical parietal lobe appealing way
almost... like convergent evolution or something, birds and
bats developed wings independently but they both
nevertheless developed wings. Torque even outdid
megaloskizk, I was surprised to hear something even better
than that. I'd certainly buy an album with stuff like this
on it.

separation anxiety is excellent too. Quite bizarre circusy
composition. You have the percussion and melody down great.
I don't think you're quite as good as aphex yet (as
appealing, not necessaraly similar too), but close. There's
a seriously bizarre mental quality in some of aphex's stuff
I havn't heard you doing as good like track 2 off the RDJ
album... Better than squarepusher though I think and lots of
others.
What software do you use?
