This is a really deep jungle slammer. |

I'm not too keen on the reverb on the main percussion in the intro- makes it sound a bit too murky (although I imagine it'd sound sharper in CD quality). I like the constant quiet bass tone that runs through the intro before the bassline comes in. This track could be improved with a fatter more "sub" bass (you're getting there at around 5.25) and a slight hike in sound quality all round. I don't really like the high synth in it (I tend not to like any high synths in dnb/jungle really). Still, good programming skills. BTW your spacecadet remix really cheered me up yesterday after what was a rather gash day. It's what I'd call "dawn music" music that makes you think of getting into bed as the sun is coming up after having been up all night and are greatful for sleep. |

maybe it's the contrast with the seefeel i just listened to, maybe i'm a little cranky from my cold, or maybe this just isn't a style that i appreciate. it reminds me of µ-ziq... the sing-songy high synth melodic motifs didn't do anything for me, and the pitch shift percussion biz is a personal pet peeve. there is a rhythmic variety and overall the track is cohesive, nicely structured. i wish i could offer more constructive commentary but this just wasn't my cup of tea... |

the high synth isnt really my thing, but i love the drums at the start with the drony bass. Actually, in general i like the drums a lot, id just pump them a bit harder somehow, but thats just me :p good stuff :) |

I didn't like it. The drums while decently programmed lacked punch, and there was too much reverb. The high pitch synth wasn't really good and the melody was weak. I liked 10 seconds around the 4 minute mark nefore the synth came back in...it started to annoy me by this stage. Sorry. |

Interesting. You know I'd never thought too much about the reverb on this track. I'll be first to agree that drowning drum tracks in reverb ruins them and I've heard some productions where it does exactly that. |

If you haven't added reverb the original sample must have been drowned in it...I also think this is probably why the drums lack punch as well. |

Well I did work hard to try and resolve the hardness of the drums in this track. I think the original sample was really arse kicking and I thought I just need to start a track with it. I believe the original sample had quite a lot of reverb, I can't recall whether I added any extra. Yeah I did struggle to get the phatness and beefiness into the drums. Its my own fault in a way because I was working with some low volume mono samples. Since this track I've used higher quality samples so I don't have to fuck around try to increase the volume artificially and the net result is it sounds a bit thin. |

Not my cup of tea - I'm not the world's biggest fan of breakbeat, as has been documented in my book, "Breakbeat? No thanks, break bones!" published in 34/55 aspect. I'll stop this one now, so I can get onto your next one before I have to leave for work :D |
