Sorry for keeping my stuff offline for a while, but I assure you the EP that will be produced will be some of my best work and should be done by the summer. I've gone through maybe 5 or 6 tracks in the last month and a half with all the hectic stuff that has been going on. Man what a month. I've been busier than ever before.
The EP will be free for all and there is a good chance it will be pressed on Vinyl. I'll update here as soon as more stuff comes to light. The project taking the rest of my time is working with a conductor in the area to compose and solo with an orchestra in the area, electronic/DJ + orchestra... it will be amazing. But onto the track:
Name 2
This is some downtempo jazzy stuff I worked on last night and thought you guys might like it. The real title won't be revealed until this album is done and the track might change by the time I put it out. I'm writing a song for each of my friends that I'm close to trying to capture their essence in music.
As always, comments are much appreciated and I'd be happy to exchange some reviews... peace!
(and my homepage if you want some more older tracks)

Course, always glad to give reviews...
Warming Silver: Good soundscape, very steady beat and feeling to it. Low on the volume side, but that's just a mastering dealy.
The modulation on the white noise sounds good, works well with the second pad. I keep waiting for a little more progression since the drums came in so quickly, the energy of the track stagnates a little until the vocals come back in. I'd say don't have the drums come in so heavily so quickly or have it progress into something else before the half mark and the vocals come in, maybe a simple melody with a new instrument or some new modulation?
The first vocal sample I like, fits in quite well. The looped one a bit later doesn't feel quite as in touch with the rest of the piece. Got a good foundation but it doesn't flow quite as nicely.
I like the detuned bass notes after that, good touch.
Nice stuff, would like to hear it after you take some time with some mastering, think it would kick up the track a lot
Black Soul Drip:
Cool guitar loops, this sounds much better overall than the other track. The drum sounds work really well. Gets a little repetitve. You add so much in the beginning, so many quick changes and them seem to have trouble knowing when to progress or bring back in elements from before. Same thing with the previous track, this one flows a lot better though.
I know you've got more to say in that track, will be interesting if you tack some more onto it, or where it would go in a mix

I've never listened to any of your stuff before but I've heard good things about it on this board, so I'm listening to Name 2, and I like it a lot so far.. Downloading all your other tracks as well, I'll give a more thorough review if I have time tomorrow.

Sanguine: awsome dood. I really apreciate it a whole lot! serioulsy I do. its good to hear some constructive things. I was thinking the same things about both, but usually im just kinda "stumped" ya know? but thanks a bundle, i never label any of my songs "COMPLETE" for this reason.

Totally with the stumped part... happens to me a lot. Transitions and overall structure is really difficult... been trying to get my mind in that direction, this piece is sort of like that, I worked on the overall progression a lot more.
Not too bad, but man takes so much time

A side note... my favorite part about this piece, and one of the things I was really trying to make happen, was a very subtle chord change. Three chord progressions but you might not even notice the changing root, sort of a subtle jazz line. Sort of like the person I was trying to capture when I wrote it.
The mastering is new for me, I tried something different to give it a new sound, would like to know what you guys think

The title MUST contain the word "caper".
I see William H. Macy drinking styrofoam coffee in a beat up car on a stakeout trying to find out if his wife is cheating on him. He gets bored and starts working on a puzzle toy, gets obsessed, and when he looks up his wife's car is gone. Lots of close ups of the puzzle and of his mouth grimacing.

Hehe... somebody should make a music video, maybe with claymation or something... caper will definitly be a consideration for the title, I like it.
Thanks for listening!

I replied elsewhere but I think it needs a bump here for more people to listen and appreciate.

Actually an improved version will end up on the CD... I found a bit of inspiration... still very interested for some critique though
Welcome back from the B7!

Kadath needs some serious remastering and touch ups... it's on my list of things to do after I finish this EP, it will not be forgotten... and it's up on Soulseek under my name when I'm on there
Thanks for just saying you guys listened, like to know if it's going over well!
