[D3NTISTXCOMMERCIAL]

this is hype I love the little lead that could!!

I love the percussion, I love the single off-key note that plays at 0:30 to signal in the heavier chords -- like honestly. I love the choppiness of it. There is a futuristic quality here that carries hope and mundanity in equal parts. It kinda reminds me of Laurie Anderson (Big Science; O Superman) whose energy I love.

Thank you this one is awesome! The name is hype too :D

F1regek responds:

haha thank you again! this song is pretty much just me experimenting with layering sounds and creating "landscapes" of sound and I am pretty proud of this too! im glad u liked it aswell :)

[old one, cold stinker]

the overall atmosphere successfully is imposing and eerie.

however, I find a lot of the percussive qualities of the track feel off-beat, as if they're being played randomly across the bar with no real pattern. This is evident especially in portions like 0:55-1:00. I believe this sort of clashing is bringing down the track a bit.

I like the percussive sounds in a vacuum however -- the part I mentioned earlier, sounds like spoons scraping against a bowl and it's kinda freaky and I like it.

My favorite portion of the song is essentially 1:32-1:54, where it feels like everything is in the reins working together. The drop is cool, especially because the mood doesn't exactly stop. I love the kinda fake drop that happens right at 1:31, making way for the real one at 1:41. Very fun.

The ending is kinda metronome-y and I feel like that could be improved too!

Overall, this is an interesting track with some unique flavor and I appreciated the listen, thank you! Keep going :)

F1regek responds:

wow thank you so much for taking the time to write this!! i definetly agree on some parts the end was supposed to be like a metronome thingy but i appreciate you a lot for this review!!

[2005 09 10 Ortiz Shooter a]

hardcore

[Likedis]

i love the mix of wet and dry on the instrumentation. the voice samples are parsed in reallllllyyyyyyyy well. i can tell you have fun implementing those!!! i liked this a LOT, there's lots of variety in the drum loop and that's soooo paramount. subdued and anxious and hype shit.

[River]

i very much enjoyed the part in the middle that sound like mixing a spray paint can -- this in particullar sounded very much like brook babbling. the overall sound was very positive. loved the breakdown and reversals toward the end, and then the refrain. pretty dope.

overall, really cool , and the sample was nice as well.

(damn it is so crazy that a song can be featured and have hella listens and downloads,,, like clear obvious signs that ppl like the song, and still have no reviews buhhh!)

[bLACk iS thE sOUL]

I agree with BBaNK on the bit about more character on the drums, but I love the droning nature of this, more than anything. I love the subdued nature of this apocalyptic presentation -- it's reminding me very much of the later tracks on Carpenter Brut's Trilogy LP -- I think it's a total vibe.

The way it dips out so fast it makes me think that there's another track that is meant to follow!

I would listen to this kinda stuff on long late night drives all the time when I was younger. Shit's hype :)

ADR3-N responds:

That's a high compliment! I actually started this track off with nothing but the throat singing, a random dubstep drum loop that I clipped into dnb, and some samples I had made myself from clapstack cymbals. A huge experiment and a rush-job, but I think it paid off

One of these days I want to revisit and de-ess the vocals some more. I was recording 2 inches from an unshielded mic at whisper volume. You can kinda hear my Russian hard H and non-aspirated T aha

[Poison Mind (Castlevania Remix)]

just about anything castlevania is positive to me!! right on!

ADR3-N responds:

Castlevania has some of the best VGM I've ever heard. Thanks for the review!

[Commerce Among the Clouds]

very much reminiscent of northern city and smog. funny how hope and certain desire can shine through despite.

i enjoyed this, thank you!

Pondererer responds:

Nah dude thank *you* for the review boss

[b02 Blue]

this must have been soooo much fun to put together!!!!! i would have been so tempted to shred my vocal samples way more than you did lol! so much restraint -- fun track.
