[A Mad Karmic Stat Disc]

well then

i didnt like the opening, that acid bleep threw me right off. but as soon as the track kicked in it all came better for me, the beat is awesome, some fantastic glitching elements going on again. Again it feels rather sparse as a mix though i like it, the beat being the drive behind the tune. Its not one of your best imo, it just didnt stick in my head but its still a good track nonetheless. good stuff mate

9/10

LJCoffee responds:

Thanks man! - I've heard a few less than great comments on the synth - it was an early attempt with a new VST so I'm not too worried about it.

I like the sparse stuff personally - in fact, I think that's what most of my stuff it - I like to think it all has interesting percussion minimalist instrumentation and usually I add something along the lines of long drawn out pads or someo sort of textures ambience to fill in the dead spots behind it all.

Thank you!

very quirky

I havent looked at the thread to understand the formula you've used here, im gonna judge it on how i hear it. The simple beat works really well on this track, keeps you interested in whats going on, along with the small glitching elements that compliment the track, the very subtle synths are an awesome touch that emphasise the vocal elements of the piece. it feels like the track is carrying a message of some sort due to the use of those vocal samples. it's a really nice track, sparse but full at the same time. i don't think anything needs to be developed with this at all. good job

9/10

LJCoffee responds:

Not much of a formula really - just a bunch of different time signatures all mashed together. Once the music happened, it seemed to have a sort of clinically insane feel to it so I ripped vocals from another project from years ago and threw them in there.

Thanks for your vote!

stunning track

Great track mate, i love how you mashed up the opening guitar part to feed into the beat. If im right there's some metalic flanging goin on with the guitar which sounds really cool. Its a quality track and reminds me a lot of an ian brown track off of music of the spheres. That sound quality and production are top notch as always mate, im not too sure whether a vocal wud work or not but id like to think theres a place for it. as always its a treat listening to your stuff.

10/10

LJCoffee responds:

Mister Pitbull! - Nice to hear from you, "Music of the Spheres" eh? - I'll have to look into it.

Vocals might be alright in there - I only wish I had a reliable source for them though - I'm not about to punish you guys by asking you to listen to my voice - that's just too much to ask - unless I want to see scores in the mid to high ones :D

Thanks for reviewing this - the scores you gave it are making me blush.

[SQ in G min - I. Largo (3:33)]

wow

gets 10's across the board this mate it's bloody mental. gorgeous though. there's so much drama in this track it's amazing, remember like the old B&W movies of the 30's nd 40's like some crime thriller or something like that, it'd score one of those easily. the only thing i have to say tho because of the formula there didnt feel to be any sort of deviation, peaks and throughs but that is clearly understandable as to why that is. It's a great experiment though and i really should have an attempt at making something with just numbers and formulas. great work and i love you.

WinTang responds:

Thanks pitters, you foxy man, I love you too.

I gotta tell ya, Simon-F is redoing this with GPO solo strings and there's really going to be peaks and throughs - the written dynamics and stuff are working much better there.

And yeah, you sure as hell should do a math track, it's great fun to do and I'd be very interested to hear yours!

[**_Chaos_**]

hahaha

I hate this sort of music lol. Its really good stuff though, my mate would thouroughly enjoy headbanging to your stuff, some of your drum samples were pretty bad tho, that opening crash was one. but i understand its not really the beattho is it. very cool stuff tho mate, chugging along and load of riffage too. good job

9/9

4/5.

DarKsidE555 responds:

yepp, right with the crash. I found a better one in the meantime. ^^

Thanks for the review and sry for the late reply man! \m/

[moderntragidy (2nd half)]

im bk home now!!! Yay

i can hear everything decent now. and by dear god, wow what a contrast man, then drum n breaks (hehe) sound awesome some really inspired beats there man. a very sinister and dark synth there, ive used a very sinister one on an old track of mine with my singer rapping.

it's absolute qualioty mate, the guitars are awesome, the delayed reverbed vocal. wow.

the second section is almos identical to another tune i did years ago, that steel drum is the stand out thing, the beats absolutley fantastic.

the track really rings true class throughout mate, you should try and get some airplay for this, try xfm or the evening session, or as KB did the god of the pod on R1 it's a contender.

a true classic of the AP.

snoballandthmonyshot responds:

glad u made it home in 1 piece.
the reason bits sound like ur old stuff is coz i've got a remote control like adam sandler and i paused time, walked up north to your house and rifled through ur hard drive. u had porn on the monitor and ur weeny in ur hand. i swear i didn't put it in my mouth. then i got on a national express and pressed fast forward, job done.
airplay? i dunno... i tried submitting the 1st part to the podcast but 9 said it was made for a puzzle game not radio, hehe, ouch.
anyways, glad u like it
;ped

btw, i heared cold on ur myspace, is well good

[*+*_collision_*+*]

hmmmm

im liking this one, the leads very nice, with a very bright edged tone on it. the rhytmn behind chugging along is good too, again theres this element of distance on this track, i don't know what it is, it almost sounds live rather than recorded, i feel it should be a bit more closer to the listener, its a weird one as it's all based on perception innit. again cracking stuff and i really liked this one.

9/10

5/5

DarKsidE555 responds:

You really think that it sounds live? Cool...I guess. :) Well, I did just some guitar stuff on speedmetalmessiahs backing track. Yeah, it's pretty unusual stuff that I played there but somehow I liked it as well. :)

I guess it was more kinda rock than metal. Thanks for all your reviews and votes man! Keep in touch. ;)

[**_burn_**]

awesome

i could really see some vocals on top of this, the guitar is simply awesome again. what do you use to keep your distortion in check? suppose it's just quality eq and stuff innit. anyways you really should try and get someone t sing for you, and expand the songs a bit more as they are all awesome.
another 10/10

5/5

DarKsidE555 responds:

I already got a singer. It's badmaninc. :) I'm just not the kinda guy who can write lyrics, thats all. To be honest, I really don't do much to keep my distortion in check. I use some modified presets on guitar rig 2 and EQ my guitars a little. And thats about all. :)

Your right with the length. I really need to develope a killer tune with 4 mins. of length. Will try soon. :)

[**_Thunder cloud_**]

hahaha

yea well shitty guest guitar lol. you may or may not know that this isnt my favourite genre of music, but from what i can tell it's fucking fantastic what you do. if you ever fancy putting some leads on my tunes i'd gladly let you, but maybe you'll have to be a little restrained i don't know. but yea great stuff again.

10/10

5/5

DarKsidE555 responds:

Metalcan is a wuzz and can't play guitar. :) Thanks for the compliment, I'm still learning stuff but I try my best. If you ever need leads you know where to find me. ;)

[TANKMEN (bombs away!)]

very nice

it has a great signature tune element this, and the lead riff has a great tone around a fairly simple line. the drums sound really distant tho, i think it's that snare, actually the whole tune sounds a little distant tbh, it's all good tho. does anyone else play with you or is it just you doing all the parts as it's pretty darn ace if it's just you. anyways yea

9/10

DarKsidE555 responds:

Nope, it's just me overdubing myself. Right with the sound. I really need to do something about that "distant" thingy. : /

Thanks for the vote and the review dude. :)
