not crazy fast drill and bass, though the first track is pretty crunchy fast.

Nice tracks again. Pleasant is pleasant :D Just what it says on the tin.
I really liked them all. Again! I still have the last lot and they're great too.

xceque- does the production sound tighter? ie the bass louder, all sounds still clear but loud without clipping,
when compared with the other set of tracks?

To be honest I couldn't say for sure. The sounds seem a little crisper and better defined. That might be just the difference between mp3 bitrate/codec, but probably it's more than that. So I'll say... yes!
mp3s aren't really a good enough medium to be judging the minutae of sound composition.
Just listened to 'deteriorate' again. I love the first half of that :)

I think "sounds my cellphone makes" is just generally more fun and better sounding than "release", but I definately think "the production sounds tighter" in the track "complacency". The sounds don't feel constrained like in, say, tracker software. This is a really nice track.. the change to old stuff to this track almost seems similar to download's III album.. which seems like a rediculous idea probably. But in III, even though there was very little limitation in sounds created and the sounds are all well done, it wasn't as fun to listen to for some reason. (you already posted "the conversation" and "the truth" last time you were here so I won't get those again. I might have them on cd, but I don't remember which tracks match the names.) Fulcrum is similar in being well produced, but less symmetrical and simple and fun. It's more of a serious track seemingly and less cartoony like "the pig and the moose" was (heh heh, great track). Fulcrum and complacency are great tracks IMO, all the sounds are great, the melody is great, many great changes. I guess it's not as silly though. Or something, my opinon doesn't matter.

cool, w M w, your feedback is always very welcome, because it actually rings true to me.
I've been moving away from "fun and silly" and moving a little towards tighter grooves and darker presences, just because my life for the last year has dictated it. All of the drill and bass I made-- those 11 tracks, are the product of a lot of free time, some psychedelics, alcohol, and less stress.
Newer music has been heavily influenced by a long period of making nothing but repetitive dance tracks. A lot of it came out quite good in my opinion, and it gave me a lot of focus on production and transition.
Always learning, always learning.
There's now an "add email" field on expando.org for gettin' on the list for upcoming mp3 releases
For now, I'm cleaning up all my dance stuff and eliminating the junk in it, and am going to release probably an hour of it in 3-10 tracks.
Thanks again, w M w

you could do sarcastically fun/happy/silly tracks. I've done a couple of those in the past, heh heh. Well thanks for bothering to upload them.

hmm. went back and listened to your older stuff, like deteriorate and sounds my cell phone makes. i enjoyed these much more than your newer stuff (not that THAT wasn't excellent, too. heh). but to answer your question i s'pose all the new stuff does sound like it was better produced. a little. but not enough that i would really even think about it.
