anyway.. just listened to it..
I like the beat and the beginning.. not a big fan of the melody, or actually the sounds you use to play the melody with.. a bit too predictable with a beat like that.. HOWEVER - I did like the sounds when they got more harsh and "finger-round-glass"-y at the end.. gives it some balls, if you'll pardon my french..
just out of curiousity: have you ever released any of your music? I think a lot of it would be more than good for it.

*prepares to attempt to write something that's almost slightly worth reading
uuuuurgh It happened again where the first 30 seconds are super hyper wickedly mad and then some element resembling a loop lessens it a bit.
ummmmm... When I heard autechre's ep7 for the very first time, there's no way I could fully comprehend it all, aesthetically, so I wonder if repeated listens would reveal a much deeper aural aesthetic in this.
hmm... what else... fritos changed their motto, I noticed. I'm glad cuz "I know what i like and I like fritos corn chips" was so retarded..
and also, generally, I suggest more of the more subtle humble softer type sounds and less of the super amplified agresso bursts.

Is using large but compressed beats as single percussiony units a major technique of yours?

listening to it now (spiny murex1). i really like the sounds you use for the beats. they have a lot of ehm... detail. it's not overdone, it has just enough, and that i like:)
i agree with qrter that the sounds for the "melodies" you use are not very special, or maybe too predictable even, although the sounds in which they evolve are very good imo. generally, i think it's a nice, simply, very well composed track.

Hello again, Flea. :)
Well, I liked the floating melodic sounds, but I didn't care so much for the beat, except for the bass drum you used. Something about that, I liked. Thumpy. I don't think it's bad by any means.
You should do what these people say and send out demos. If they reject you, big deal. Some of your tracks are better than some signed artists' imo.

*note: i listened to the track last night, and Duh... my bass was turned off, not to bother the neighbors, so ill listen to it again when I get home, and perhaps the "lack of bottom" problem will be solved :)

yeah man, definatly send out demos
to everyone!
lately ive been realizing that the worst thing you can do is pass up an oppertunity. It will haunt you.
There are only two things that can happen... 1. you get signed 2. you dont get signed, which is no change from now, so its not like it will be worse then before you sent it.
if they say its "utter crap" or something, fuck them. Dont let them get you down. Just keep doing it, cause you love it. But also, maybe they will give good advice, and itll help you understand things you didnt notice before.
Yes, demos man, send them.

yes ive been said all sort of things on my art (drawings and writing) some good and bad stuff from graphists, but also some nice thanx and advices from magazines, even if they couldnt publish my short stories or so...
dont pay much attention to critics if they is any, its only a feeling...not everybody could love ur music, it doesnt mean its bad, just that people see things different ways than each other!

great track! I really liked it. Never heard any of your other stuff, but this was really good!
I'm surprised of the abstract titles though :-) From what i've read of your posts on this board, you always seem very uhm... "politically concerned"? (can't really think of the right english words)... but i mean, i would have expected the songtitles to make some comments about president bush and things like that ;-)

well to me that wouldn't seem too illogical. Everything that concerns me (things that happen to me, or just stuff i find interesting/important) always seem to naturally end up in my "art" (i don't do music, but in my drawings and writings). I don't even think about it, it just happens.
I guess this is just a difference in personalities :-)
I can see your point too though... strictly speaking this type of music and politics have nothing to do with each other.
