Sounds too much like you made a load of patterns using the
same samples and placed them together randomly. There is no
progression (from what I could tell), it seems to play one
loop, then switches to another, then another, but they never
really lead on from one another. The production is good, but
I'd work more on cohesion.

Damn that was negative... you have some really cool sounds
here but yeah, it just didn't seem to flow too well.

i agree with the horse, you have good segments but they need
to transition a bit better.

I downloaded this the other day lol and I just spent the
last 30 mins downloading it again. Yeah you have good loops,
they are blended to an extent but not enough like the others
said. I like the track so keep on working on it.

really dig this track.. 90% of my tracks are dark. :p

really really liked it

but it does need direction

i'd swear the standard of tunes on this board is getting
much higher

i liked it - this track has much potential. lots of
noisefuckery and knob twiddling, but i think i agree with
horsefactory that it does need some cohesion. it needs an
element to bring it all together, something to drive it. i
think some more dominant melody would help quite a bit as
well. however, i do enjoy it, though i think, from the
quality of its constructions so far, that you could take it
further.

I'd hate to hear your worst one.

oddio.. yes definitely agreed. I'm in the process now trying
to incorporate more of the melody.. thinking of doing a huge
melody break/build right after the acid section.. you read
my mind. Thanks for the comments guys, keep em comin!

ok. I didn't mind the progression.

Your production is good. And you have a few good sounds. Oh
and your rythms are good. Non-cheesy melodies.

Thats the pro's...

stuff you should work on...

The flow. Although i thought the progression was good, it
sounds too inorganic and too programmed. Its too easy to
figure out what it is your are doing to create the track.
Hence some of the "you have nice loops but they just go from
one loop to the next" reponses.

Seeing as you do/like 'dark' music, perhaps you'd be
interested in my latest creation? :o

its all good man.. i make music because i want to hear what
i like not what everyone else likes.. i think thats the
direction most musicians should go with it as selfish as it
may seem. Its important to keep it a personal passion and
not a competition..

keep em comin yal, im workin on it as we speak.

I worked the melody in a little bit but its tough with the
high density beats.. I'll have a new file to d/l shortly.
