well, it took an age for it to start to download which i assume to be because myspace is arse, but i have now listened to it. it's pretty good. nice and interesting, though i'm not sure i'm partial to the melody structure, but that's just me. i did like your game music vibes track an awful lot though and would rate it higher than this fella. still nice work. most enjoyable. |

Well I listened. You are getting too desperate and it is showing in everything. This track is a below average effort in every sense of the word. The tune is instantly forgetable, it just sounds like it comes from a sub standard Sega game of the early 90's...it also lacks any individual identity as most of your music seems to. You seem to make what you think music should sound like instead of what you feel music should sound like. |

It wasn't that bad. The problem with music posted here, or in the public domain in general, is that people judge it against what they imagine is the intended end result - what the author might be trying to do - rather than take a track on it's own merits. It has the effect of making the track appear unfinished to the listener and maybe your perception (that's one's perception, not lee's :) would be different if presented with the track on a released medium through a proper label. That said, I agree with what you (now I do mean mr nadniarb :) said, just not in quite so damning a way. |

Because I resect you so much I will explain the background to my post. Since joining xltronic there aren't many people who have made anything I have been impressed with. Oddioblender is included as one of the few people who has impressed me. He is capable of producing some excellent stuff. This track, as Gus well knows, is something he could produce 10 of in one day but he is that keen to get listened to and appreciated that he will label it his best ever track (something he has done before) and it lessens peoples desire to listen in future. The comments I make about Oddio's music is done as if this was a 'real world release' for want of a better term because that is clearly what he strives to be and how he wants to be judged. There is a frustration in what I wrote which has came across more negatively than intended. I agree about listening to music posted on messageboards being judged differently. The whole listening experience is different, for starters you haven't actively sort out the music to listen to and then there is a tendancy to listen out only for stuff that interests you in the track which leads to people not appreciating the track as a whole but rather in 5 second snippets. I try to keep that in mind when I listen but I'm obviously not always successful. |

Get reseted motherfucker...I'm warning you. |

well, i appreciate your criticism, lee. honesty may not always be kind, but that's honesty. what in particular threw you off the track, if i might ask for future improvement? |
||||||||

You seem to make what you think music should sound like instead of what you feel music should sound like. yes, i do that. i may not be able to change music, but what's the point if you don't try? or perhaps you suggest my music lacks emotion, and i get that a lot. :) |

for me its an ok track, no where near as good as classics like 'helicopter' though, maybe with some voice on it and further development i would like it more |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but if you love it, fuck everyone else opinion! :-), you made it its your opinion that matters most |
||||||||

I think whatever merits the track may have are invalidated by the very tired sounding breaks/drum'n'bass lite, oooh sped up now... ohh, more evenly paced. Some musical formulas you can play with in all manner of combinations, others have a timeless appeal. Intelligent d'n'b is a fad long, long past its sell by date. |

doesn't matter if i sell it. it's what i wanted to do. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i liked it okay... generally found the drum programming a little bland, wasnt really feeling the drums sounds, made the whole thing a bit more amateur sounding than it had to be |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wanted to not use my usual drill and breakcore beats. i'm going to try more downtempo stuff soon. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would have just used some nice breaks but not everone like nice breaks like I do |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i do need to write some more breakbeat stuff. anyways, thanks for listening! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what do you mean by 'write'? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you know, like pen and paper and when you color letters on it it's called writing. or the term writing music. i.e. making music but I think he meant actual writing ... ... ... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
writing music is different from making music. i doubt many electronic musicians actually 'write' their random cut & paste sounds and samples. the simplistic 'melodies' are usually hammered out as an afterthought. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i say this as a fan of electronic music, however. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, yes i wrote almost all of it except for two or three loops as texture for the drums, and they're not used often in the song. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
rubbish |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, but you hate everything though. :D |

i'm sorry to report that i didn't like it at all. it's time to expand on the things in your music that are unique and memorable, and this track is just too generic. there's no question that you've done better work.

ze page iz blanque can´t find any music... |

i agree with belch ... if you are going to attempt drill than it has to be something new and considering so many people have done it to death , .. well i think its a bit of a waste of time i guess. thing is it is very fun programming drums in 32/64steps a and doing that but... eh. and if you are using videogame esque synths more bleeps and sid-y noises are needed. |
