Man, I love these old school tunes. Give Compartments some
love. I dig the strings on the first bit, and the percussion
later on. -J- seal of approval.

Compartments > Fine Day > Acid Kompressor

Dude, I digged the Groundhog day samples, i've listening to
all but acid kompressor which is playing now... liked the
first 2 a lot.
Acid Kompressor: I like the Moogy bass you started with...
though the sample in the beginning of kompressor gets old
quite fast. Overall, its pretty good though.

I said I'd post my comments didn't I :)

Acid Kompressor:

Like the squelchy bass line, the now customary sample also
gives it an interesting vibe. Kicks in just the right time,
leading to a Hyperspace vibe ;) When it gains momentum
with the abrasive melody I'd like to hear some harsh snares
enter, but apparently that's not gonna happen :D Perhaps
just as well as the closing moments are more good vibes than
go mental.

Compartments: More typical PFS this time, with the customary
lo-fi beats and the off kilter, twisted melodies forming an
eerie atmosphere. It runs the danger of losing all sense
before some dark strings give way to a pulsing, throbbing
beat. Hear this on headphones and hurt your head. A bouncy
almost jovial vibe is nearly but not completely shattered by
Murray's desperate sample. The mood swings back and forth
right to the ambigious ending. More PFS weirdness, a success
in my opinion.

Fine Day:

The previous track when I first heard it sounded like a
remix to me, so I was pleasantly surprised at this. The
harsh, steel sounds at the start lead almost immediately
into the vocals which are instantly recognizable. I think
this is deserved of being a single b-side, a fine remix
which again switches atmospheres effortlessly. The right mix
of despair and optimism. And of course, the obligatory
twisting of the melody at the end! I'm not always keen on
Paul's work but I was pleased with these three tracks, good
stuff.

Sorry pfs, it doesn't do much for me.

It sounds like a slightly processed KLF tune with an over -
repetative sample.

I heartily welcome Bill Murray's foray's into the music
industry, but not when he's so awkwardly William S.
Burroughs.

pure acid lines, great absurd drum work, and of course that
perfect 'fuck - off' sample.

acid kompressor - hated it

compartments - way better, decent textures and beat
organization, the only thing i didn't like was the repeating
voice sample with the reverb on it.

fine day - very good job of using a voice sample in a song.
Its sings rather than repeatidly telling you to go fuck
yourself. Nice atmospheres. I liked this one the best.

acid kompressor was always going to divide, because it's
acid techno, and it's not THE most popular genre here :D

after the legendary 2nd bump out of 7 allotted bumps, I
think I can finally give my review.

so here it is - in alphabetical order.

acid compressor:
like how this starts dampened and then suddenly opens up.
you could drop the voice-sample, I don't think it adds a
lot.
in the end I think I would've liked it more if the track
would've been HARDER, to really make it scream and stomp.
it's almost as if you don't dare to make that step, I don't
know.

compartments:
is this supposed to be mixed so quietly? I have to crank up
the volume to hear it at a normal level. just wondering.
anyway - I didn't like the beginning with all the synthy
bits - I really dislike that artificial sound. there's not a
lot you can do about that, maybe create custom synth
sounds.
I think it picks up at 1:35, with the little beat coming in,
like the development in that. But I have to scream NOOOO!!
to the Groundhog Day-samples. samples with a lot of reverb
on them, that to me really is so ugly and outdated. and then
those floaty synths - oh dear, no.
so in short - I did not like this one.

fine day:
nice opening with the beat. has a nice artificial sound,
nice and 'close to the ear', makes it kind of
claustrophobic.
but then the melodies you introduce don't do a lot for me.
although the detoning at the end is nice - you could've done
that the whole track!! :P
I do not particularily dislike this, it's leaves me more or
less indifferent.

mm. so I guess the whole didn't do a lot for me. I feel like
you could 'let it rip' more, take more chances, let yourself
go more.
to make a comparison - your stuff sounds like it's on the
way to LFO, but LFO really let's it rip, makes up the full
arc, so to speak.

As I was making the final two tracks, i was aware that it
was sounding a bit LFOey - thanks for the good comments,
Alex, this is a new direction for me, and I'm just getting
to grips with it - you're dead right in all you say

Compartments IS meant to be quite btw :)
