Hi folks, bit of a different slant on music spam in this thread... I've got well over 400 unfinished tracks and frankly it's getting a bit silly. I'd like to finish some more off, but find it hard to focus on each one as I constantly flit between about 150 of them (as well as starting new tracks). I work well under pressure, so I've made a deadline for myself, properly finish at least one track in the next month. Here's where you come in, I've taken a fairly wide cross section of my current work in progress (lots of different styles of track). I've put short (unmastered) samples of 10 of these tracks together into one file (for your conveniance and for webspace reasons), some tracks are currently little more than what you'll hear here, others are almost completed, and the clip is just an extract. I'd like people to listen, choose their favourite one and post it here. I promise to finish the one that gets the most votes, by 22nd of June 2004. Comments are welcome regarding all the tracks and even if you just think that track x is terrible and I should abandon it, that'd be a help too. Files (both the same tracks, just different audio quality/filesize) for "Work in Progress Preview" can be found: and (you can "right click, save as" on this link) Many thanks in advance, Ceri. |

I'm in a similar predicament and have thought about making a similar post. For this synchronicity, I will do you the honor of listening to your bits. Also, your link crashed my IE, but whatever. |

Ah cool, which bit? I'm actually in Barry, but I put Cardiff as more people know where that is. One of my tracks is called "Siberia (Altai Mix)". *******************ATTENTION************ As Pomme has pointed out, link 1 crashes IE (just happened to me too). So, please use the 4.38 MB low quality one and just send the link to the other one to people you dislike. :) |

With any luck, if this thread fills up a bit, I'll be able to call on the service of our meditarranean statisticians, Nacmat and Wooferattack in collating the results. :) Cheers for the votes Pomme. Let me know when/if you do your similair thread and I'll off me |

Spikee, if you're reading this, track 3 is the one for that label we were talking about. |

Will be good to hear some of these finished. JC check out a few of my tracks, support your country ^^ |
||||||||
|
|

track two track three track five i like the melodies and programming a lot lots of textures in there, i reckon anyways very nice :) wish i could do melodies like that! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
will be glad to help, I didn't realise you were making so many tracks since you have very few online. Feel free to send me some mp3s if you want a wider range listened to. |
||||||||

Track 1 Track 3 Track 5 **Track 6 - This is a maybe, I would have to hear more to decide. The above are the samples that I would most like to hear finished versions, they seemed to be the most interesting. I'm not saying that the others were not good but they didn't make the same impact on me. Just an idea, you could make new sampler every 2-3 months and form an album from the winning tracks :) |

Cheers for the listens folks. Altai: "blood in your bloody bleeding eye" is mental mashup ragga. I've never heard anything quite like the hard panning taken to such extremes. It's like you're DJing, with only one 'phone on and you can hear the master playing into your other ear. I like the way the lynn break appears cheekily on the left side for a tiny bit on the left. A lot of the stuff is remixes, but I'm assuming "Hop your fucking music EP" is all your own stuff? Digging the pounding bass. Jazembo: Yep, I've got just over 100 finished tracks, about 60 of which have been online at some stage or another. Since MP3.com was taken down I've resorted to just putting up my more recent/better ones. Now I've got a deadmurder site I might put some of the older stuff back up. Re the every three months thing, that's a good idea, so long as people take part it could work really well :) |

track 1 - i would go with lots of synth layers for this. seems like the kind of track that you could wrap yourself in, if you know what i mean? maybe a nice tinny highrange melody, and a breakbeat on top of that core rhythm. track 2 - like this one quite a bit. bring in some really heavy thick bass synths or perhaps a section of some synthesizer fuckery a la squarepusher's anstromm-feck. maybe chop up that beat and bit for a bit of breakcore-style mashup variation for the drums. track 3 - sounds nice. would probably make a good ambient track, focus on melodies and keep the drums minimal, it may also make a good variation alongside/indside track 1. track 4 - goddamn is funky! maybe chop up that breakbeat a bit for some hectic yet downtempo variants. some thick long sustained acidic waves could make this interesting. maybe also put a really pumping beat on top of it all. track 5 - this is perhaps my favorite. have a really rough or rugged beat come in to contrast the inviting textures - something real nasty. keep the melodies warm, maybe some string synths or some female vocals. track 6 - this would make a nice breakbeat track. a real bouncy beat. thick tasty sinewave bass, maybe some bass sweeps. track 7 - sounds like it could alongside track 4. maybe. a 4/4 beat might be good... track 8 - oh god so funky. bring in an improvisational guitar later. perhaps some bongos or shakes over the percussion. some violins might do this track wonders as well. track 9 - something real steady, rhythm wise, but meticulous, with lots of percussive subtleties. some highrange wobbling melodies would be cool too. track 10 - bring in more traditional instrumentation, maybe some brass, trumpets, or piano. some voice samples, sound effects would be good too. hope i was helpful. :) |

|
but ok. If I have to choose... 8. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like both tracks 1. and 4. 3. I like the stuttery end to maybe you could incorporate however that is done into 7. Nice ninja tunes style stuff. 8. I like the pacman style synth :) 9. Drukqsy drill and bass. nice. 10.. Great use of the operatic sample. Overall, I'd like to see either 7or 10 finished. |

christ i mustve been drunk when i posted that, im such a lazy lethargic bastard ill probably never do anything ever again |

I thought it was uncharacteristically friendly. ;-P |
||||||||

|

|

pomme, i checked yours out. check your thread. as for ceri, if i had to choose, i'd say 2, 5 and 8. |

i can't get wirefm to function, though i tried with explorer and firefox. low res=no point. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Low Res = not bad... it's vbr and to be honest it doesn't sound drastically different to the high res ones. Bear in mind they're all unmastered (at this stage) anyway, so the comments I was looking for were refering to which track had the best "ideas"/things to develop. What I'm trying to say is, audio quality isn't very important for this- DL and comment, dammit! ;D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
CERI: feeling bad about not being able to listen+comment (i'm on 56k) on your stuff at the moment, since you always review my stuff. were having an "office-evening" soon and i'll try to do it then.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
stop using wirefm. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Cheers Pennyworth. Qrter: The Second link is to zebox. I like to have my stuff on at least 2 sites as free mp3 sites tend to go down/change their conditions all the time (as the recent "breaking" of Wire.fm and 3 song limit on zebox show...) |

Teh Bumpage! Remember kids, if you don't vote you can't complain when your politicians wage war on other countries (or your mods pick an awful track to finish). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, i'll check out thee low res one when i get back to the high velocity river... |
||||||||

So far 5 is in the lead, followed closely by 2... Cast your votes now! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Come on you swine, I comment on other people's tracks all the time! :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I listened to it once again, and can only repeat: DO THEM ALL, but finish #8 first! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ah 8 is so far in second place (I've had some email feedback from off-board people), so there's a fair chance. 5 is still in the lead though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll go with track 5 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ceri: Catch me on MSN tonight if you can mate? About 10'ish maybe. I'll get the tracks and have a listen then :) Also need to chat to you about a possible Fabric re-visit :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Cool, I'll be there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
BAM! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Lots of people on, many of whom haven't seen this thread... 5 is still in the lead. I'd like more votes if possible people. Thank you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really really like all of them, but most of all i reckon: track 2 track 3 for sure! track 5 track 8 is pretty funktastic too id really like to hear those ones (in particular) finished! man some of the pads and melodies are well wicked! good stuff! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
are these the same tracks as "Send me an e-mail" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, none of them are the same. These are entirely new works you may recognise some as being from the same "batch" as certain "Send me and E-mail" tracks. One of them people may have (if they were very fast) as it was on my zeobx site for about 3 hours once. |

I can't comment because I have been banned by a moderator. Maybe when the ban is up I can post my response. Hugs and Kisses. Me. |
