This is a song with a sort of drum and bass feel, but with a touch of quartet and squelchy melodies. What do you think?

original and slightly good until conventional fast drums came, it was like squirlup wa yawaa wa ya waya, and it was like original but all in all was like a toasted cheese sandwich that wasn't all the way toasted. i guess the only way to get emotional about the melody is to think about rice or pill bugs.

I know what you mean. The beat is definitely a lot more conventional than the squelchy stuff. But I've found that deliberately avoiding convention in percussion often means just making a beat more fucked up. And fucked up beats tend to lack the sheer power of more conventional ones, and often draw attention from the melody (and in this song, the melody is the focus). Thank you so much for your criticism. Maybe I will play around with some different percussion.

Also I've probably been listening to too much old LTJ bukem.

Instead of having it fade, why not introduce a little section to carry it further, make it a little longer. I liked it, although the spacey stab melody could maybe be toned down just a little!

I liked it but it wasn't as good as Aphex Twin or Squarepusher in terms of beats. Still good, though!

Ok, I rewrote all of the percussion. It's slower and weirder. I also toned down that stab sound as marlowe suggested. Is this version what you guys were thinking? Better than the original or worse?
