Okay, I know that spam is usually frowned upon and people generally pay no attention to posts like these but I honestly don't care and I'm going to ask you to go to
http://www.zebox.com/japes
I've been producing for three years and I've had no feedback because no one's heard my stuff. Just wanted to let you know I exist.

Sorry if you find these at all cryptic:
Soflipp's really pretty. Suits the weather where I am. Kind of sunny and cloudy at the same time.
When I Think of You's got a ditty which makes it sort of chug along. I like the fluid use of effects.
Olive and Bobo's similar to When I Think of You, in that it's got a chirpy melody. Got some really nice drum work there too. I like the way the snare's quite long and it sort of pushes everything along. Proper IDM style. Nice chimes too.
I prefer more breakbeat/spazzbreak orientated, so I kind of wanted When I Think of You to move into a stuttering manic beat collage instead of a trip-hoppy beat. That's just my preference though. I've got a really short attention span or something. Anyway, they're pretty professional sounding, mate. Let me know if any more of your tracks become available.

Actually, mate, if you've still got the sounds for When I Think of You, I'd love to remix it at some stage.

Ah yeah. Happened to me a while back. Lost a Missy Eliot remix I'd turned into an electro fuckup. It's like losing a small part of youself.
Checking your stuff now Jaroen.

"spam is usually frowned upon and people generally pay no attention to posts like these"
What are you talking about? :-p All the musicmakers here spam all the time, and it is highly appreciated. Also, threads like these usually get a fair amount of replies. If i made music, i'd surely be telling everyone about it too. ;-)
Anyway, Ã'm listening to What We Think About When We're Alone now, and it sounds really nice. RDJalbum-ish i think. I like the contrast between the soft flowing melody, and the aggresive beats that kick in every now and then. I'll listen to the other 2 aswell./

i checked out "what we think when we're alone," definitely shows the afx influence. nice melody and tasteful snare, good variety of sounds. keep working on finding your own voice, using more unique sounds, and developing your compositions.

i listened to 'vacate the space'
i think it's good. there is a lot of interesting sequencing going on. Its sounds kinda cold and 1 dimensional though. maybe that was intentional.
i just tend to like songs that have more volume, spacially, or tracks with more color or melody.
If this were my track, I would do more with effects and eq to get more ambience or space behind the drums and stuff.. but then again, it ain't my track so Cheers!

Wow. You guys are really nice about all this. When you're discussing stuff or wanting to share your tracks, the Planet-Mu board gets pretty vitriolic and intense.
Thanks for all positive and negative criticisms. Vacate the Scene was supposed to be cold, but I think you're right. It could use a bit more sprucing up perhaps. And Mr. Tea, would you like me to email you the scource sounds as wavs or will you just work with the MP3?

Thanks for all your comments (both positive and negative). This place is the exact opposite of the Planet-Mu board. It's great!
Plaid Zebra: I'm digging your Goon remix. Very lush. Seems like it'd be cool walking music. I dunno I just get the feeling of walking from the rhythm. I wasn't too keen on the giant walls of noise that shatter the chimes, but that's because I slipped into a daydream and they woke me from it.
Jaroen: Roulez Relax was pretty sweet. I'd tweak the beats a bit for a bit of variety here and there though. I didn't really get much feeling from your other stuff so much but it was pretty smooth. Some nice hooks.
Binaural Tea: Would you like me to email you the scource sounds in WAV format (complete with the Public Enemy rap)? Thanks loads by the way!

Fuck! This message board is messing with my mind.
Wow! Thanks for asking mate! Did you submit anything for the Ear Cleaners? I've got all the tracks lined up, and I'm trying to get some kind of cover art together, then I'm gonna ask the CD place how many of your Earth pennies I shall have to part with.
But yeah, the tracks are all buff!
