i would definitely say that the minneapolis scene is very weak. when i went to see funkstörung at the quest a few years ago there were maybe ten people there. and múm only brought in maybe a hundred at the most. the couple times i saw jake mandell before he moved to berlin, there was also a very small crowd. there are a lot of local artists, though; have you checked out vital vinyl in minneapolis? |

nope, i haven't. thanks for the info. there's also very few concerts that i'd even really want to go to in minneapolis. it's pretty bad, though i wish i went to more of the few good ones that come. |

added it to my que.. i have to leave here in a bit, but i'm looking forward to hearing it and commenting on it.. |

okay, i like the changing melodies going on, with the piano and whatnot. and what sounds like a distorted voice in the background.. i think the percussion could have been more complex, but it's really not a percussion-oriented track.. it's good relaxing music... it is kind of repetitive, but in a good way, and not overly lengthy.. |

hey plaidzebra, surprisingly uplifting sort of tunage coming from an aries! hehe! but i guess i only say this in contrast with the most recent album 'the other side of the looking glass' by alias (of the anticon crew) - same zodiac sign as yours. sample lyric: "i arrive on a breath of velvet wind. begin. enter darkness unseen by those who haven't sinned. slowly step in time with raindrops pelting the earth and soil, quietness to calm the turmoil. slipping into darkness different than mr.lewis, i hear 'who's this walking across my lawn?' my workday begins at breaking dawn with each revolution around that star. how will these souls know me when they don't even know who they are?" so there you have it, us virgos have slug, and now you too can have an underground hip-hop hero representative of your zodiac sign! =) |

anyhow, back to the music, your global goon rmx reminded me somewhat of the original track by this fellow who went by the alias nhiiq which served as a basis for a tune i made for an ep of mine a little bit. my translations of other people's tunes usually don't have a whole lot in common with the original source material (although i usually use mostly the sounds used in the original, but tweak them quite significantly), so my reinterpretation isn't as similar to your track, but you can have a listen of it here if you'd like (it's called 'all the love filled pandemonium'): i liked 'when the tide went out' the most by far. i think i'd like to make a rmx of it matter of fact, if you're game. |

manticore, sure you can remix "when the tide went out". but i don't have multitracks or even organized samples for this track to give you, you'd have to use the mp3. i will be soon uploading a 192kbps version (the current is only 112kbps). i could possibly put together files of samples but chances are i just won't have the time. thanks for the comments. i'm going to download the track you mentioned right now! |

a lot of the time when doing a rework/rmx, i just use the so-called technique of 'microsampling', so yeah, no problem, it's not obstructed by beats, so it should be easy enough to source out sounds from it. download all three tracks from my page if you can - they're a trilogy of tunes meant to be experienced in the sequence they're listed on the page - instrumental electronic songs about heartbreak! =) let me know what you make of them. |

i liked the first track, wouldn't mind hearing it at a higher rate. very nice melody, made me think of vangelis. i'd like to hear it again, but without the mp3.com "temp" file i can't play the mp3. does mp3.com not allow one to save to disk a downloaded mp3 anymore? the other tracks are too long, it could take an hour to download one of them! |

plaidzebra, are you on a mac? that could be the problem. you can still download files from mp3.com without problem. if you have a pop-up window blockade turned on, this might mess things up, because nowadays some shitty popup comes up prior to downloading (just like on zbox). just click on the 'download' link and that should do the job. if you're on a 56K modem, i could just send you a copy of the '3ee' EP via mail (i send stuff out to the states all the time). just e-mail me your mailing address at: deejaymanticore@yahoo.ca (the deejay part is a bit of an inside joke with me and my emcee). |

the track downloaded in explorer, i listened to it, then i saved the file to my disk and checked to make sure it worked. then i closed the mp3.com windows and surfed elsewhere, then went back to take another listen to your track and "the movie file cannot be found, without this file ....can't play properly" came up. i've had this problem with mp3.com before, but then again i've also successfully downloaded from there before. anyway, i am interested in hearing your ep, maybe you'd want to do a trade or something? |

manticore, to actually answer your question, i am indeed on a mac. |

there are actually three tracks here, and if you haven't listened and you have the time, let me know what you think. thanks. |

mmmm, I could use Voices From Nowhere on affluxion. |

You made something pretty good around those really awful lyrics. The lyrics still subtracted from your track though. |

w M w, are you sure you're talking about my remix? there's only one word in the "lyrics"! anyway, i agree, the entire original gg track was weak, including the lyrics. it's definitely a challenge remixing a track you don't like, when you want it to reflect your own style as well as the original artist. |
