i definitely like it - it's fucking great actually

i really like the constant changes (i suffer from a short
attention span) - my only advice is to bring in a different
melody towards the end, over the existing one

and the beginning could be a bit more warm sounding - it
sounds sorta tinny

but what the fuck do i know

the drums are fucking great - how do you program drums like
that out of curiousity? - i dont make music like this but
would love to give it a whirl, when i have before i cant for
the life of me make drums like that

on the whole - song is an 8 of 10 - meaning good

you got more stuff?

Squarepusher would be proud. Its good. Really fuckin manic
sounding. Not really what my head requires right now. But
it's really well put together. Like the interlude aswell.

Great job :D

another awesome track dude! This is even better than your
last untitled 128 (says action) track. The only thing I
don't like about it is how quiet it goes towards the end. It
seems like a very long outro because of this. Keep up the
good work anyway!

and if you ever get to the release point - put it on vinyl
so i can support your output

cd's are lame

thanks m8

i know i calmed down the song allot in the end and maby ill
raise them alittle bit, but it was a part of my plan to let
that weird FXed bass breath allot and also give the reverb
and background sound some more space

yeah it's really nice, im just thinking in terms of
longevity - you know how autechre still sounds fresh after
the 1,000th listen?

would want your stuff to do the same cause it's very close
to squarepusher style, and with tweaking could last and
sound great for a LONG time...me thinks

Its good and I credit you for your efforts definitely. Some
serious skills required for this sort of music and style.
That said the main bassline melody is pretty uneffecting
after a while. Its starts promisingly but loses momentum
very quickly and to try and do the Squarepusher thing it
requires more variation with the bassline. Its good but not
close to Squarepusher but am still impressed.

who the hell gets close to tha pushah? =)

i dont im sure.

So dont think that i sit down and try to make a song like
"im gonna make this squarepusher song"

but offcourse i get inspired. Just as much as i get inspired
by Aphex twin and Ae and so on.

i would like to find a total style of my own, but
seriously.

if any person hear good drill n bass these days it's either
inspired by Tom or Aaron.. at least in most listeners ears

well it doesnt matter, im glad you all liked the song

What sort of equipment have u got? Whats your set up awt?


 

offline _awt_ from Malmö (Sweden) on 2004-03-03 08:30 [#01097212]
Points: 2202 Status: Regular



small mixer, midi keyboard, kondenser mic, crappy mic, FL +
loads of free stuff and stuff that i have just found by
accident and keept.

Im a collector of all samples,sounds,plug's and so on, u
know you can allways use something for something.

but my fav thing to do in my small room is to record sounds
=) it's so got damn funny that sometimes i sit a whole day
and just bring different types of stuff and records it, then
dump it in a big folder and later on a day when i dont feel
like making music or recording sounds i sit down and clean
up all the sounds i recorded and makes another folder and
dump all the sounds in hmmz (tweaked versions) there and im
ready to make more music =)

sounds fun right ? heh i bet most people do this, it's
really really funny, wish i had a more mobile setup so i
could record sounds in more weirder places.

hmm, cool =)

i think i have dowloaded one of yours some time ago.. i
think, i have so many xltronic tracks all mixed up in a
folder, what's your artist name ?

i have finally started to collect xltronic tracks in one
folder for each guy, i allways dowload if someone realeses
any EP or album on the net.

i dont allways comment them thou =/ i usually dont have much
time, i set some dowloads then i listen in my walkman when
riding the train and stuff

Well like euphonicfilter i also have a horrible attention
span. Which might be a reason i got into squarepusher.

While there are a lot of similarities between you and Tom J
here it is also clear to me that you have your own style. I
want to both acknowledge that it is similar in style and yet
your own style. I would need to hear much more to back that
up so i will keep listening if you keep making!

Now as for the track.....

FUCK! There IS NO WAY!!!!!!!!! :D!!! Did you rip this off
of Tom's secret stash of music that was never to be
released?

This shit is brilliant! WTF???????!!?!?!?!?!??!

How long did it take you to make this? See i am more of an
ambient guy and i rarely use beats in any of my songs. Such
a complex and varied track you made.

If all of your tracks are up to this caliber then anyone who
doesnt sign you is and i quote "fucking retarded"!!

That is all! (i liked the slower ending by the way!)

Thanks

signed,
Virgins

P.S. EVERYONE SHOULD LISTEN TO THIS NO DOUBT!!! I have
JUST been IMPRESSED@@@!!!!@#*&$*&#%(*%

It is a pretty awesome track, I've listened to it 3 or 4
times now and I think "wow" slightly louder each time. Very
polished (in a good way), and with just so many details and
touches.... well, for me you start of thinking "how does he
do that?" and then, the good thing is, you get blown away
with it enough to stop thinking about the process, which i
think is important. I agree with what some of the others
have said here, but I think with your skill and capacity for
invention you'll develop your own sound even more so.

i'll have to provide the lone dissent, i didn't like this
track at all. to me there was no memorable music, and
though you've done a good job of emulating the style there's
really not much substance. you're obviously pleasing the
majority of listeners though so you can probably disregard
my comments.


 

offline _awt_ from Malmö (Sweden) on 2004-03-03 14:53 [#01097839]
Points: 2202 Status: Regular



i wont disregard at all.

and yeah, there have to be the lone guy i know =P

acctually the negative critics/comments are the thing you
remember the most as the thing Euphonicfilter said about the
mixing, yes it's alittle "thin" theres allot of bright
distorted sounds and not many "harmonic frequences" so im
considering to try to mix around alittle bit with the sounds
and see if i can get it to sound alittle bit warmer, not too
warm thou becouse it is not what the song was intended to
sound like.

so the negative critics may be really good as I may sit down
tomorrow and try to mix the track better and hopefully it
will sound better all thanks to the small comment by
Euphonicfilter =)

"i also have a horrible attention

"

That's a perfect explanation why I don't like squarepusher
at all.
