This time the links work :-)

Wow, listening to Opahausen right now, I like it a lot...
cutesy and kind of freaky... 9/10, this is some great great
shit.

i liked these tracks, especially when they start to pick
up.

feedback?

well, it's your music, and I hate most of the criticism that
people give me on my music, but I'll tell you what would
disatisfy me and require changes, if I had made it.

Opehausen: maybe a little more dynamic variation in the
rhythm. Those big bass hits that sporadically occur seem
very out of place, as does the first slidey-downey-whistley
sound. I would chalk this up to lack of environment or
ambience in the track. Maybe some subtle reverb or
background noise. The best way to describe the symptoms of
this problem is to use visual art-- when painting, you don't
really want to leave white areas where the canvas shows
though unless it is for an obvious purpose. Otherwise it
just detracts from the ability to suspend disbelief and
experience the art.

Sam Street: Do you know much music theory, or do you just
experiment? Some of the melodies in here seem a little weak
to me, like maybe you'd be better at expressing them with
more experience or more musical knowledge.

Once again, this i all just my opinion, and I appreciated
your tracks very much.

Opahausen - Reminds me of a robot that has become rusty from
surfing too much hypnotised by the sight of two gay swans
having sex in an armchair.

Sam Street - This sounds like two yellow robots chipping
barnicles off a one man submarine in a well lit apartment in
New York.

opahauses- the buildup at the start is fun because of the
seemingly weird structure of the parts.... seems more
logical and linear after plays for awhile. I like the sounds
used, the structure is nice too. Bothering with the medium
of panning adds too. It almost has a live feel, not really,
but more so than a lot of other electronic songs- probably
cuz the drum and cymbol sounds and stuff are regular normal
sounds of drums and cymbols. This is a nice playful track I
think. I like stuff that evolves/changes (dynamic). I'm not
sure if I could get into it much more (repeated
listens)though, perhaps cuz my parietal lobes like hyper
ultra innovative striking stuff, stuff that maximizes
weirdness as economically as possible, or stuff that evolved
indepentently of anything conventional.

hmmm

listened to Opahausen

i dont know man... this track didnt do much for me...

the synth that pulsed throughout the song just really didnt
sound right to me.

and it seems to go just alittle too wild. wild in a bad
way...

i liked at the beggingish, where it goes into that hip hop
beat along with the synth... but over all... cant say i
really enjoyed it...

and the drum sounds seemed alittle too cheesy for my
taste...

sorry for such a negative review! :s

keep working though man! practice makes perfect!

Two of my mates have already offered to sing on my tracks,
maybe something will come out of that that you might like
Zeus. Thanks for taking the time to go into detail about why
you didn't like it. Listening to it again now the synth that
comes in at 4:40 is actually quite Trancey (gasp!).
