mmokay.
I like the percusive/melodic elements in the beginning - makes me think a lot of BoC though, especially when the voices drop in.
nice little beat developing. like the faraway, harder percussive sounds. you do add a bit too much percussion for my taste - the drum sounds, I don't like them.
the other sounds seemed on their own, the drum sounds, sound like drums (well duh).
overall I think you should step away from the BoC sounds now - develop some more sounds to put in that are NOT percussive.

"the other sounds seemed on their own, the drum sounds, sound like drums"
what I meant by this, is the drum sounds are too boring - I don't want to think 'drums' when I hear this track, I would like it to stay selfcontained.

I think you're right, it is very boc, i'd been listening before I wrote it. I might actually scrap it.

I've been writing since I was 13 and i've written stuff that isn't electronic as well, I must say that writing electronic stuff is much more satisfying though!

I agree with you that electrionic music is much more satisfying. I am currently trying to upload 2 more tracks to VitaminC but it is fucking around with me. I swear the service there tends to be shit!

I will provide a link later on as i am having difficulties currently. I really don't understand why it is like it is though. Probably since they updated things.

Curious Thoughts ---------------------- Seems to be a good track. I wan't sure at first but the more i listened to it the more i ended up liking it. I just think that it may be too long or my attention span is too small right now. I think if you could trim it or condense it by a minute or two then you might have something there!
Good Track
Get ----------------------------------- I do like the feel of this one. I like that it is slower paced and it felt like a nice contrast to the earlier track.
My only suggestion is that they don't sound alive. They need more amplification or something...... i can't think of the word but they almost seem dull sounding..... not as in melody but like it was dubbed from a tape or something. ( does that make sense?)
I like this track very much so though! Probably better than the first track just as a matter of personal preference.
Again good job!

some ideas are overdun
The patterns are vivid, although certain layers need more time. single step melodies throughout an entire track kill me though.
in essence, your ideas are muscular.

get was marvelous. sure it sounded BoC-ish...i dunno. but hey. what's wrong with BoC, anyways? hehe. but no...it's really very mellow. i liked it a lot. maybe just because i'm really tired and i just got home from work. eh. but no. really. it's quality stuff. if you finish it (which i think you SHOULD) let us know. i'd like to hear it. =]

hoo.
what i meant was that i like the track it much better.
thought 2 was what seemed a bit repetative. a little variation in the strings...or...something. i dunno. i'm sure there's a number of things you could do. it IS pleasant and relaxing, however. which is nice.
why didn't i just say that the first time? =P
