After more than three and a half years of sporadic work I
finally completed my LP. As always, it's an attempt at an
aesthetic combination of early 90's production music and
stereotypical left-wing electronica. If anyone is
interested, there are some mp3s here.

Thanks for reading!

I haven't visited a geocities site in over 5 years, however
I am now downloading.

Ok, so far "Nothing can stop me today", the only link I can
get to work, is among one of the greatest things I've heard
today, or indeed for a while. That's quite a take you've got
on early 90s style, a style I believe that still has a lot
to be used and abused. I can't think who you remind me of...
there's something there... this is a bit too good. I LOVE
IT
I think your data transfer has been exceeded or
something, I will host the files for you if you want, I
believe in The Stephanie Tanner Suprise.

why thank you, that would be great if you've got extra
space. I wasn't sure how big geocities' bandwidth was.. but
apparently not big enough...

I only managed to grab "Nothing can stop me today" but I'll
gladly host that now if you like, EVERYBODY needs to hear
this awesome track, I've just had it on repeat and it's
going to REMAIN on repeat for a good while yet.

I'd be thrilled, thanks! I can update the link accordingly.


If you'd liek to hear the other tracks I can send them to
you, although I'm surprised the first one isn't working
since it's hosted by em411..

oh well

I can't get to your site at all now. I've posted
Nothing can stop me today here, if you email me the others at danconnor
AT gmail.com I can put them up as well. This is music
genius.

Haha, thanks man.. nothing like this has ever happened, but
I should have guessed as much from Geocities.
I will send the others within a couple minutes.

Fah: thanks for trying anyway!

That's not a bad idea. I had an mp3.com account back in the
day, but they bit the dust a long time ago if I'm not
mistaken.

i full account is a pretty good deal really, only $20 for a
year with guaranteed support/bandwith. i'm not plugging them
but i think its pretty good.

uhh. anyway i'll check the music when its hosted again.

That's pretty reasonable really.. I'm looking into it.

dog_belch was kind enough to host one of the tracks
here temporarily, by the way.

for some reason I constantly get the feeling that the
bassline in "nothing can stop me today" is off, but for the
life of me I can't figure out in which context.

It is off of something, I can't fucking think though, but it
is....

Maybe lowering the resonance and the envelope depth a bit
might help make it sound a bit more logical. When the
envelope attack is set that high on a sound that sees that
much activity, it usually sounds retarded. Maybe lowering
the attack would help too.

And when I say envelope depth, I mean the filter envelope
depth.

AHHHHHHHHH, I know what it reminds me of now, A Certain
Ratio "I won't stop loving you" Bernard Sumner mix. I guess
that's just me though.

I had those parameters set high relatively intentionally..
because I wanted a cornball burbly sound. but..
As far as attack goes, does the bassline sound 'off'
rhythmically? I assumed the past few comments were
suggesting that the tone was off harmonically. Although
either way, I probably can't even hear it anymore because I
got so used to it while I was making it.

dog_belch: I bet it was satisfying to clear that up :) I
remember I had a melody stuck in my head for *months* that I
thought was from a poppy Japanese album like Pizzicato 5 or
something. When I finally heard it again it turned out to
be Steely Dan. Go figure.

to me it sounds harmonically off. but there isn't much with
which it could be off of with of over.

which is why I can't figure it out! :)

I don't think the music is very interesting, but then again
you say you're going after a particular style, and it might
just be that I'm not into that style.

I remember a full house episode where someone stole the
youngest daughter's bicycle, so the three men of the house
went out looking for it, each of them coming back with a
bike they thought was the one that was lost. They and the
youngest daughter were arrested and await a court date in
January.

Ah yes, I know that episode. Turns out she lent the bike to
a friend and forgot about it, thus rendering her 3 dads
criminals. Good stuff.

Thanks anyway for listening to the track :)
