yeah, i'm really proud of this. i was at the squarepusher show last night when i had a revelation - i should make my melodies as intricate as my beats. i would much like some critique on this, please.

You're right- this is some of your best stuff!
I love the stuttering melody. It's almost like it been programmed on a tracker, but retained a highly melodic quality.
The beats complement it really. Some people might find having a stuttering melody and stuttery beats at once, but the kick drum is strong enough to give enough of a reference point to the listener.
The breakdown at 2:21 is perfect, just what the track needs and it doesn't go on for too long (a criticism I'd make of breakdowns, particularly "amateur tracks" is that they often go on too long). Sweet ending too.
An awesome track. I insit you bump this tommorow for the day folks. I've been working on a "videogamey" track myself to night and I was pretty chuffed with it, but it's nowhere near as good as this. Tops marks mate.

hello, mr. Gus Young.
definately one of your best tracks, yes. The only thing is that it somehow makes me yearn for.. you know that Aphex-track on drukqs where the volume goes mute-on-mute-on, and it fucks your head up right towards the end of the track? do that at the end of this one, only moderated to suit the beat...

It sounds like there are only four or five tracks in this tune. I'd like more sounds personally. Seems a bit stark. It needs some bass too. And more effects (but I'm an effects junkie).
I don't agree with DrunkenMastah's suggestion of Mt. Saint Michel style effects at the end. I think it could do with a harmony at the end with a nice smooth synth.
Not a bad tune though.

"Fucker slept on our sofa for a week doing nothing but smoking weed and playing video games." We used to have a couple of "friends" like that. We ended up kicking them out on the grounds that we had work to do.

Very good track. The only thing that might improve it is a bar or two here and there where everything drops out except for a sad wheezing organ or slappy guitar a la Cowboy Sugarcakes.

I don't like this as much as jitterbug, but it's still a good track. It's quite like Bogdan Raczynski. It's a good track, just not my type of music.

Listening to Jitterbug now. Its good. Reminds me of something else. Not too keen on the clashing notes but that's probably just me ears. BAM! Good track and very impressively done. Excellent mix. Nothing seems too forward.

Problematic sounds like a b-side to jitterbug. I think I prefer this one in some way. Was this made about he same time as Jitterbug? They sounds very similar to me. BAM!

problematic is a good track. You are very good at doing fast beats, this is something I have not yet completely mastered. How many bpm is problematic at?

yeah, it's at 180 bpm. i use sound recorder for more intricate beats, also hammerhead for more focused stuff.
by the way folks, one more: Rock Like A Golem It's very fast and loud, so if you don't like that style, be prepared for massive auditory assault of the eardrums.

this is nice. really pretty at some parts
i think the melodies at the beginning could match up better , but it gets way cool about halfway through where the melody changes and stays constant. it's really catchy. and radical

Incredible Jitterbug Man: I'm liking it. Kinda playful paradinas-ish melody. The first minute or so works especially well. You have quite a distinctive style, very "full" of sound. My only real criticism is with the changeover in beats at 2:03, it feels a bit jarring. Nice stuff.
