This is what i imagine seefeel to sound like, I only say that because i've never heard any original tracks by them.
I quite like it but there is not enough going on in there to keep up my interest, If you could a few other subtle background things that would improve it alot.

this is the first complete mix, i suppose it is a somewhat rough mix. it's much more upbeat than seefeel. i think if you turn it up very loud you will hear that there are actually many elements. maybe the distortion covers things up a bit. but then again, it's a pop song, so simple and straightforward, mostly.
i'm not trying to imitate seefeel, my bloody valentine, slowdive, boo radleys, pale saints, ride etc but if you know and appreciate any of these bands you'll have a better idea of where this track is coming from...
anyway, skink, thanks for listening!

that's a coincidence - I have a recent track called 'inside outside inside', which is quite similar !

marlowe, what does your track sound like? you must like the massive guitar melody sound if you came into this thread...

i listened a few days ago, but forgot to say anything. very nice. i've been into the whole shoegaze thing for a while now, and its neat to see all the new electronic artists who are sort of reviving the sound.

interesting.. i like the atmostphere created with this, but i find it a little too distortion-y kind of at times.. this song is an interesting combination of sounds/general styles, some of the percussion and bass sounds remind me of video game music, which makes it more interesting..yet at times a little cheesey sounding, especially the cymbal sound used ocassionally.. i like the layered, interesting vocal clips/samples used..
overal a good track, i don't usually listen to stuff like this much, but this was well done.

i'd really like to hear what alnuit thinks, since he's so fond of the style.

plaid, me likes the track! =) i would have added more ambient flourishes and an overabundance of reverb to the mix if i were to produce it, but that's just my personal preference. all in all, the only thing which slightly annoys me is the synthetic bass underlying the tune - just a tad too old-school for me.
you may want to look into this link for some fantastic shoegazer-inspired indie pop:

manticore, glad you liked it. i thought there was an abundance of reverb already!
funny that you found the bassline annoying. after i added that, i thought, yeah now it's really great! so it goes with taste... maybe that's what's best about making your own music, you don't have to worry about pleasing anyone except yourself.

agreed. for some peculiar reason, i am most pleased with my own musical creations when i manage to go out of my way to make them sound "difficult" and/or unconventional in terms of the song structure. for this i have to point the blame at DJ Shadow for forever ruining my appreciation of conventional rhythms and song arrangmenets with my favourite track of his "building steam with a grain of salt", that bastard!

have you heard master musicians of jajouka? that'll shake your rhythmic foundations for sure.
i always liked the so called shoegazer sound but so many of the tunes are downbeat and melancholy, i wanted to make something more upbeat. this track was inspired by a friend, who is his own worst enemy. i wanted the track to be full of that childlike "come out and play" feeling.
thanks again for listening! and for offering your thoughts. i have a huge file of xltronic artists and it's still a drop in the bucket of what people post. hard to keep up with the deluge, especially when you're limited to 56k like me!

Damn...never even read this. I hate it when this happens. I never even imagined that I would ever have a message left for me specifically either here or anywhere else. Downloading it right now, Plaidzebra. I'll listen to it tonight and let you know what I think as soon as I have a feel for it. Sorry I am not more regular and did not look at this post for so long...
