[No Good (Its all good mix)]

omfg

jesus christ, are you trying to give me a flashback?

no critical comments because it just sounds so oldskool and it's touching me in strange places.

Fums responds:

Ta very much ........ its all about the right feel

[No Emotion]

excellent flow

damn smooth. I'd say all this track is missing is a -much- thicker beat and some female vocal hooks and crazy live-sampled tom fills and this'd sound top-notch.

nice stuff, man.

[Snooze Inc - Roflcopter]

electro fiesta!

however, at 22 seconds in you should've brought in some riding hi-hats to make the rhythm progress a little more. :)

lovely sound though! :D just a little repetitive on the beat side.

[King Of The Road on Trumpet]

not a trumpet player but

my advice would be practice it until you can do it perfectly in a single take. :) love that melody though.

AccountableMasses responds:

Thanks.

[Soft Rave?]

crazy and fun

I totally recognize the melody from a tune years back but for the life of me can't remember the name. maybe not an intentional cover on your part but the melody totally rings a bell. :)

[Martin - Flashback]

Full and tightly eq'd.

Every sound had it's own peak and didn't interfere with any others. Sounded nice on headphones and speakers both. Great job. :)

Lalalo14 responds:

Thank you very much! :D

[Beta Blast_SP]

Lol, love the beats. :)

Poppy and light-hearted beats but the bassline gets too repetitive, shoulda changed it up to reflect the flow of your beats. :)

I don't like the solo you go into at 1:15-1:45. Seems offkey with the melody you had before and after.

Besides that, very gamey and would be very suited once you address the issue of the bassline. :)

SlackerProductions responds:

I put in the solo in order to make the bassline seem less repetitive, guess it didn't work so well, then. It was my first attempt at a solo anyway.

Hopefully I can go back and change it, I kinda lost the bassline channel on the project file of this song due to demo limitations. I should be able to recreate it though.

Thanks for the input!

[NightTrain-IDN]

chillaxed

excellent driving music. :) peaceful yet upbeat. I can definitely imagine snowflakes falling along to the piano triplets. and the passing lights extending long shadows much like the strings.

really top-notch stuff. :) no complaints at all. captivating and mesmerizing! good stuff, man. :D

ID-N responds:

hey ho
thank u master :)

wait for your BIG new YEAR track ;)
greetz

[Landscapers - Eden]

aye, change up the bass melody

this woulda been sickness to the max had the melody changed up. all the percussive elements had rises and builds and proper transitions and were just great. but because the melody was so repetitive it fell a bit flat.

besides that, just awesomeness. :)

landscapers1 responds:

Thanks!

[Landscapers - So Magical (IDM)]

impressive yet again

I had blue mood on loop for a while and just had to check out your other stuff. :)

you've got an excellent grasp of ambient melody. just enough notes to set a subtle tone, truly dramatic. :) excellent slicing of your rhythm elements, loved it to death.

only thing I didn't like was that you brought the kick in full force for the roll at 1:27 or so. felt it woulda been better had you brought the volume of the kick from low-full over 2-4 bars instead of just slamming facefirst into the heavy kick right off the bat.

excellent stuff here, man. :)

landscapers1 responds:

Constructive comment! I love you :D
Thanks!!
