the track is.. quite honestly, it's very boring. It does nothing in particular except add new drums and the bass (where's the melody?! a melody needs more than one repeating bar) is the same throughout it all. It's got a quite obvious tracker buildup, and.. well.. you need to work a lot more on it, get something going, and get it to go somewhere and not just be the same from beginning to end. |

I quite enjoyed that track. I'd say it's the sort of thing that would work well in a party through a big soundsystem. It's fun and builds up in a pretty regular fashion. |

You should listen to the two tracks under it and tell me what you think of those as well. |

purely coincidentally i listened to this earlier and it died half way through (maybe because it was still processing?) i agree with comments from both the literal drunken mastah (squidgy melody needs variation) and the honorary CS2x (sounds like it would be brill at a party). i would like to add that i really like the break! i shall check out the other tunes now. |

haha, tape deck blues is, trumpet aside, 100% like the first song me and my mate ever did! We used a friend trying to sing the note C (it's incredible how many notes C is according to him) instead of the trumpet, but those are the same chords and the same progression.. we even used flute like that! we also had a violin. It's a nice track, but you need to work on progression again; it doesn't feel like a full track, but rather like the begging of a track because it doesn't go anywhere, but rather adds to itself. If this track was a person he'd be obese. word problems is good, better than the others, but suffers from the same "going nowhere" problem. There's a point, just before you're scratching "word problems," where the song really should go into chorus or secondary melody mode or something to keep the interest up and then you could return to the original theme later, making the song both longer and better. Where do you get your trumpet sounds? If you're playing it yourself, there's lots more fun to be had with it than what you're doing and that would still fit this kind of music. the last one doesn't seem to work for some reason. Oh well, I'm pretty sure you need to work on the progress there too. |

The melody made it much better. The squiggle percussion beat soon after made it worse. The change didn't have enough change. Gets better with more snares n shit. vocalish sounds don't sit well with the rest. then everything comes back after the minimal 'breakdown' and is pretty much the same... I give it a 7 kangaroos out of H frogs. |

I love the brutalness of the review but its what i expected. I havent been making this type of music for all to long so any feedback is good feedback! And at Mastah the trumpet is some .rex files i found on the net dont quite remember where though. |

Structurally it is boring. It takes a long time to get to where it's going, one boring layer, a predictable spackle atop more and more uninspired snooze-loops. Then when it finally gets there, you almost miss it as it is only marginally less boring then that which came before it. |

i think the hard part with the first one and the last one is context... what i would suggest is giving them to some of your more DJ minded friends... or dj and try mixing them against jungle tunes you like and want to emulate some of the styles of. 1) it would help you get a better feel on what your tracks are missing or where you've over produced a track 2) it also will help with you understand your jungle tunes in context of how it would be appreciated. the other stuff i can't help you with... but the jungle... easily enough to turn into something more polished with some messing around with them.... |
