Fancy egg and soup, I'm free this evening.
The mantra serves up another digital platter
for you head bobbers to feast upon.

Enjoy.

And I do say enjoy.

I didn't really enjoy it but I was also neutral towards it
in that I didn't not enjoy it either.

Adam F Metropolis is the only track that should be called
Metropolis though.

I actually did enjoy this and I liked the sounds and basic
idea. I just think there should have been more of a
developement or build up towards the end/the second half,
and that the non-noisy/percussive elements could be more
involved, layered, and complex (the pads felt a bit flimsy
and boring.)

But seriously, I think it's a good track and could easily be
a great track with a bit more work. You know I love all
those insectoid noises...

I didn't like it very much. I enjoyed the voice sample and
the atmosphere it created but, then the beat hit.

Thanks for listening.
I'll work on this track further.

Yeah, it's definitely good grounds to start on, but needs to
develop more in a shorter space of time perhaps.

Well, if any of you feel generous enough to give the refined
track a go, and can stomach 'the myspace', here is the
better version. V.2

This is far better. It's got a real sense of movement and
energy, and the second half fucking rocks. I played this a
few times in a row. Great stuff!

Maybe "immerse" the kick more in the track? Right now it
pops out like it's on its own. I like those kind of
distorted printer sounding sounds, but I kind of can't help
the feeling that this is just some sort of "intro to the
album" track that's just there to lead up to something
else...

CS2x, glad you enjoyed it.. again :)

DM, yeah thats the issue I'm facing now, it does seem like
it's leading to something even more energetic, and then cuts
short. I'll keep working on it, but won't spam it anymore.
Perhaps when the albums done I'll do what I always do, zip
it up and share it.

it's pretty cool. the clicks are nice and the synth is nice,
but maybe they don't go together too well imo. the kick
isn't all that either

evidently i can't type correctly either, but anyway on with
the track... the second version of the track...

it definitely feels like its building towards something, but
never really settles into a groove/beat/whatever that
justifies the build up. that always seems to be the problem
with stomp beats, especially at slower tempos, such as this,
with no driving bassline or rhythmical accompaniment.

some good gritty sounds in there though, although the
myspace compression does its best to try and hide them
behind eachother.
