not bad. I liked the first 1 as a dance track, and the third one is nice and groovy.

I liked the years... cant really get into the other two though. Kinda reminds me of Jimmy Edgar, only not so repetetive... which is good, cause I really like Jimmy Edgars production, but find it much too repetetive.
Good funk flavor.

well some of the sounds could use it bit of touching up, I have this same problem, where I alter a clap so it doesn't sound like a generic clap, but in the end everyones like, good song, but I didn't like your generic clap... gah. Overall production is great though, you know what you're doing.

Honestly, the only one I find patience for is the title track...
The production is well done. Its not professional, but its much better than most stuff I hear from most unpublished artists. Like weatheredstoner says, you know what you are doing. In 'the Years' I would suggest you lower the level on the kick a bit, and maybe use a bit more bandpass on a few of the sounds. 'Flying' also sounds like you could use a bit of compression, due to the clipping that occurs when you have a bunch of pads layering eachother, or your pads contain too many voices. The kick in 'blind' needs some compression and the beat sounds a bit too generic. I would suggest maybe adding a bit more rhythm to it.
All in all, I would say an impressive demo. If you were to send out these three tracks to a variety of IDM/ambient type labels, you would prolly receive some response. If M3rck were actually accepting demo's, I would suggest you send one to them, but unfortunately they are not. I would not send something to warp, cause they rarely look at people unless they are signed somewhere, or have built up a major following. They wouldn't even consider jega with his first album.

not entirely digging the pauses in the first track, but theres a very nice quality in its overall sound. the production is tight. its unique and uses fresh sounds, and remains in the background, which is something i dig. this track has sort of a metroid feel to it, i like that.
flying just grooves along, its sole purpose was to carry me to the next track. its a good break from the funk of the title track.
blind i like the best out of the three. its mellow, its consistant, and its even got that same metroid feel with the bassline and pads a little bit. maybe im thinking about metroid a bit too much, as this could be compared to something else more accurately im sure. this track is the most formulaic out of the three, but i think its also the smoothest and most palatable.
thanks for sharing.

a tank you.
im just experimenting right now, trying to figure out what exactly stilaktive wants to make.
My 8bit punk alter ego, pixlepuke, is releasing 'Who knew robots could cry?' soon, watch out for that
