I must start saying the level is much higher than I expected... there are some real talents here... its beign very dificult to vote for me, above all, when I had chosen some favourites (6 tracks were great for me) and now some more seem to be growing on me, so everytime I have more options instead of less... this is really hard. 3 22 23 110 116 136 141 I guess my vote will be one of those... but who knows |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the level is 1001249023042305 times lower than what i expected. how 109 got on is beyond me. overall, besides a few mixes, i am completely let down. BUT, thats just me ^_^ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i think i've picked my fav but i'll give it a few more days before i finalize my decision. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
btw, the cdr I made with the 15 mixes is so fucking great!! I will keep it as one of my gems in my collection... real underground music! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
man, so negative did you submit? or are you hinting that 109 is yours? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ha, I'm listening to your remix right now. I think it's really better than most of the 15 selected tracks, I probably would have voted for it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmm. I think the mixes are fine. But does anyone know how long this poll lasts?? I want to give the tracks some time before I vote. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think 109 is great besides the shouting.....uh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did you participate? was your mix in your opinion better than any of those? I think you sound a bit jealous maybe? ;D I think the level was great cos I really like 7 of the 15 mixes, and thats a lot... apart from this 7 there are 4 more that I also like but in second place... only 3 of them I dont really like... thats what made me say and think that the level was really good. I think there are nice artists here |

i did submit. and to say i wasnt angry would be a lie, because i was slightly for some bit. however, i have heard remixes from people i know. i talked to ian, from loess, apparently clay, the other guy in lose, did a mix. Helios did one, which ive heard, and i think its so much better. this kid i dont know but i heard his mix, tony, did so much of a good job i seriously cannot believe it didnt get in. i was just expecting much higher. i dont mind if i didnt get picked based on me breaking some sort of unwritten rule. everyones got their opinion, so i dont really care about that. again, i was just expecting so much higher. |

Beside the shouting, this track is just Latent Quarter played a bit faster, basically. |
||||||||
|

you might want to read the text in the poll a bit more carefull |

"This voting period will end on July 31st. - Ends on July 16th" |

| |||||||||
|
|
im glad you think so darius |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
basically that is why i like it heheh. anyway, i guess i just like the originals so much that remixes are hard to judge. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
perhaps silly, but my first observation was that most of the chosen mixes are quite short. having to listen to so many mixes, did the xltronic crew subconsiously eliminate those of substantial length? i know mine and my partners mix was over seven and a half minutes long. too early to vote, but sounds pretty decent so far considering most if not all were done by amateur musicians. hooray for us. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it was narrowed down to #02 #13 and #23 for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh, and I think my favourite for the moment is 114.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think they're all shit and my death metal cover of 'Acroyear2' should have been picked. :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my problem is that even though i like some of them, something always comes in and annoys me for whatever reason towards the end |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, my expectations were much higher. For Christ's sake if some of that crap made it in then I should've submitted my remix... There is some talent in there, but my expectations were much higher. #096 or #110 should win. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
110 got my vote btw, i dont know the original :) i imagine its something by ae |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm on 110 now. It's pretty spiffy but then the original is superb. I think I like 96 best so far. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dissemble i am listening to your mix now. i think it is really quite good but i would say the same thing as i did about Q4Z2X's mix. while it is good, it doesn't have the catchy hook that most of the 15 fianlists have. a little melody or something that would make it stand out against the 180 other tracks. i like your track though, thanks for sharing. |

#22 #96 #141 These are my favourites. I'd say #136 if it wasn't trying too hard to be Aphex Twin. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's funny, i thought 136 reminded me a lot of square pusher. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really like #007. interesting that nobody has mentioned it in their favorites. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, despite my post in the official thread, there are four i like the most. 002, 023, 096, and 109 096 would be superb for use in a video game i thought 109 was quite clever |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like 109 what if it's not the best prpoduced one :p (the bong sample at the beginnig is kind of cheesy tho) anyway i'm still voting for 136 sounds A LOT like aphex or sp, but it is so much raw talent when the rest IMO is a bit too much of a tecnhnical work except one or two... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
theres about 6 different melodic layers in it. didnt realize catchy was part of the pre requisite. but, glad you liked anyway. cheers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i made them all, sorry if that ruined your choice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, they do all sound kind of like their made in the vein of the same school of thought on remixing. the chosen 15 do seem to focus on clean-cut older-ae-style tracks. as in usage of sounddesign they're not very exciting. I might probably go for 143, simply because it is the only one that really illicits any direct reaction from me (it made me laugh on first listen, because it sounds like fun!). it doesn't sound overproduced, sounds kind of upfront and honest. a no bull-shit remix. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
don't get me wrong. i'm just speculating as to what some of the criteria may have been for the selection of the final 15. but yeah, i like yer mix. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not really caring much about the autechre remixes, I dont see the big huff or puff over them really, except wow, to get your song picked by some dudes you dont know, I guess thats cool, but.. really, remixing is a lost art, i think this shows it. I guess. Overall, not impressed or caring I guess. Sorry to be a bummer. |

party pooper :0( stick to your death metal phase :0) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
recycle: its not a phase, its always been there, now its just old skool again like when I used to be more into death metal and grind than electronic! But uh really I still listen to tons of "IDM" and other electro,,,, this stuff didnt make me smile, it made me yawn mostly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
disasemble...you must be a hard man to please. some of those mixes are really great, expecially considering that they were made by amateurs |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
word up brotha !! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so? doesnt have to matter, i dont much care for any of them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

SSSSSSSSSSSLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEERRRRR |

some of them ARE nice, alberto. like, if they made the top 15 i wouldnt doubt the crew or anything. there are a few enjoyable pieces, and they arent bad. but there are more remixes i dont like. i really cant say much until i know how these got judged. if its just favorites of the crew, disregarding skill (ahem, 109), then i dont have a problem with it. since its just what they enjoyed the most, production and skill technique shouldnt matter. which could be the case. however, if they did base on production and skill technique, only a very few of these would get my vote. overall, yes, i am disappointed with the quality. as said, ive heard better things out of a few friends and random people who entered. but its not like they are the worst things ever. obviously people took time to make some of these. i just had higher expectations. no big deal. im cool with it now ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wonder when were going to get to see which one autechre picked.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I guess the crew just voted those they liked most... which is the best thing to do since they are not professional musicians as to vote for technical contents in which they are not specialists... its just a contest and they voted for those tracks they liked more... I think thats just the way it had to be |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
of course if I had done the 15 selection there would have been other 15... but its a matter of taste... and we all accepted those rules... so |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
now I just have 3 favourites: 23 110 136 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
riveting! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
