perfectly on a BoC album. fuckin hell its superb :D

Can you tell I really like it. I can't even think of one
minor imperfection to point out, everything is perfect.
Excellent stuff :D!!!!

Nice drums in the intro. Good bass synth too, just high
enough to be audible yet still a floor rumbler.

I like the way it changes through the track and the
breakdown at 3.50ish is great.

My only criticism would be that the drums take too long to
change and get a bit boring. Overall though a good track,
well done!

Solid drums, grainy bass, dreamy synth work. The synth is
the best part of the track, very beautiful. As ecnadniarb
said, very BoCish and i do agree.

Very beautiful ending, and i also agree with Ceri about the
break down bit at about 3:52

Well done Skink old boy! A very solid track

this is the BEST track i have heard you write. Please keep
it up. Nice synths, you usual great melody, unique bass
sound, lots of great harmonies and textures, plus a catchy
beat.

FUCKING ACE.

The beat is wicked, but as was said earlierl, some
variations on it would make the track more interesting.

You use pitchbend like BoC and weird machine beats like
Autechre. This sounds like something Warp would release.
Doesn't really grab me in general apart from the wicked
synth sounds and glitchy breakdown, but I can appreciate
it's very well made.

I would like to hear some more sounds in there though. Maybe
I've got ADD or something, but I reckon it needs another
sound - a breakbeat, some acid, someone talking maybe.
Dunno, just a thought.

Nice song, i like the melody allot, many nice background
sounds, i think the beat could variate a bit more thou.
But i loved the end when u fucked up the drums "was waiting
for it the whole time"

nice work =D

Yeah the thing is i wanted to write a track that dosen't

wise and i think i acheived it.

be good!

i enjoyed the track, especially the changes that come in
just after the two minute mark. i really like the sound of
the grainy, droning synth and the melody. the panning seems
a little awkward/gratuitous at points, towards the end, and
the repetitive percussion got in the way for me at times. i
would make the percussion sounds more subtle, and elaborate
some of the rhythms. probably my favorite track you've
made, actually.

As i said earlier i wanted to make something that dosen't
really come down to beats i wanted something much simpler
and subtle. Thankyou for taking the time to listen i do take
on board what you say and what other people say, for this
track i am happy with it the way it is.

i wouldn't expect you'd change a track for one listener,
that wouldn't make sense. my criticisms are minor and
related to personal preference, i include them only with the
intent to give more complete feedback.

on the bright side, your track sounds very little like ltj
bukem. ; )

Yes i know it would be silly and you did right, thankyou for
contributing your opinion as it is one of the many i value.

Are you not a fan of bukem then? It has to be said most of
his stuff is a bit samey but sometimes he hits the nail
right on the head, if you haven't heard it my advice is to
get atlantis that is the best track he did.
