Hey favorite people! I have worked on this EP for almost a year, so I really hope you enjoy it.
It's only 7 tracks (about 20 minutes total playing time), and that's mainly because I really sorted out the tracks this time. I could have used all my demos, but I think these tracks are the cream of the crop.
I have borrowed some webspace for hosting, so therefore it will only be online for a limited time.
If some of you like this and has extra webspace (or other sharing possibilities like slsk), I would be very grateful if you could spread this around.
As I have told before, I am without Internet at the moment (and probably for the next couple of months), so I really only have this place (and my site) to post stuff like this. You guys are the first to get your hands on it, and when I have got a decent printout of the cover, I will send it to a couple of demo-reviewers. I will of course post the response here.
Enjoy!..

A whole year of work is a lot to turn down because of laziness...

I haven't listened to it in it's entirety but so far I can say a couple of things: One is that the Boards of Canada influence is loud and clear. This would be okay, except it has taken over your whole sound and now you sound like a one-man BoC tribute band. This doesn't help very much personally because I'm not a great fan of Boards of Canada.
The other thing is that on the tracks I heard, it was nothing but FruityLoops default sounds.. sorry but this is unforgivable! I have nothing against samples being used, it would be hypocritical of me, but to me it just shows laziness to not go and find your own samples (or at the very least alter the given sounds), not to mention the fact that the sounds are far too familiar to be interesting.
You're probably not going to want to keep reading but despite what I've said, I like these tracks! They are too inoffensive to be bad tracks, what with your 'nice' melodies (nice here not symbolling that I can't think of any other words, they are nice), very easygoing downtempo beats and all that.
But I can't escape the overwhelming feeling that you've stolen/borrowed everything from Boards of Canada, from the melodic style to the backwards sounds to the tiny vocal snippets.. and this ultimately stops me from enjoying this music, because I've heard it all before from a couple of Scottish dudes.

cheers for bumping this anus ...
i downloaded it.. and its good.
well.. its a >5 on the scale from 1 to 10
but.
it sounds a bit empty. Im a biiig fan of boc, and i personally dont mind music sounding a bit similar. The beats on drosophilia are great, even tho it sounds pretty floopsy like xammax sed.
For the emptiness: it needs some more layers, i think. King of rods is good too, the downtempo boc strings and flutes influence is very obvious on this one
could have been better if the tracks sounded a bit more full
overall rating: 7.5/10
