[HRC - heavy friggin riff!]

i am rawk here me raw!!!!

nice bit of head banging there, i think you could really develop this, get a vocal on it and add some b and c sections. other than that its a great loop, the phased effect at the end is cool and very rarely features in any music nowadays. the drums sound really authentic too, i wonder what programme you use.

anyways 9/10

5/5

DarKsidE555 responds:

I'm really thinking about making this into a full song. Got some kick ass ideas for this one. I agree with the phaser effect. I used it on some songs now and I think it will go into my "standards" somewhere. :)

What I use for drums? What nearly everyone else uses here. Acoustica beatcraft that is, just with custom samples. I really like those one atm.

Again, thx for checking my stuff back and thx for taking the time to write those shit. \m/

[WC > Quadrille]

as always

great stuff. your output will be sorely missed around NG mate.

[moderntragedy]

im gonna write whilst i listen

Well im liking the opening section, that thermin effect was good, and the iced strings underlying are really creepy. the beats top notch, some great glitching and banging pots and pans. there's loads of layers here man, old skool saws and squares are always cool when done well. it's when they dominate a tune it ruins stuff, you use em cool. the rhodes piano section is very nice too, with a breathy vocal on it. you always manage to get a great vocal on your tracks, crsip clear and concise.

it's a quality track this ped, reminds me a bit of something but the name isn't coming to me right now, a bit of massive attack and some aphex elements. again it's a very refreshing track, pleasing on the ears, as it keeps meandering into different places. this will promptly get my download when im back home, and i already voted it yesterday.

9/10

5/5

[fuxin immobiliser]

very cool track

fucking crazy stuff ped. is this like your new direction that you've decided to go? believe me it has legs, it like an acid jazz funk meltdown of sorts. really good stuff. the drums are simply fricking ace. it just feels really fresh and new. i cant really comment on anything individual it just all blends really well together tho i do like the breakdown in the middle, just gives the rest of the track space, great track.

10/10

5/5

[Rucklo - Horror]

hmmmmmmmmmm

well, the opening brass instrument is very synthy, which to do classical and make it sound authentic you really don't want, but it's incredibly hard to get decent brass with any synth or emulator so it's only a minor gripe.

i like the string in the background repating the small melody line.

it just feels like it should be going somewhere this mate, especially on the closing bar, i was expecting it to break down into a dance track of some sort but nope. i'll like to see it developed.

anyways good stuff mate

9/10
4/5

Rucklo responds:

hmmm that would have been pretty cool, to go a lil furhter with it... mayebe i´ll just do that (not likley:)

I´ll definitley keep the idea for a future song!!!

Thanx alot for the review mate!

[Rucklo - EmoBitch (NGedit)]

you're my bitch!!!

alreet mate, how do and all that shite. this track is cool man, fucking love dnb, i think the vocal is a bit too much mind, just needs pulling bk a bit for the rest of the mix to breathe.

i'm listening on crappy speakers here so i can't pick everything up clearly, as theres too much top and little bottom to discern properly. the strings were really nice tho mate, had a nice professional vibe to em. it's all good this track, just compliments the genre but doesn't add anything new to it.

good effort mate. 9/10

4/5

Rucklo responds:

Ya, should have spent more time on teh vox to get em right... i was pretty bored with the song and just wnted it done asap... bad move, as usuall :)

Thanx for the review mate! :)

[- Getting Yours -]

pretty cool this is

well this has that old skool gangsta vibe to it, nice police siren and the underlaying synth really compliments the mix, the beat is just aboiut right, the kick is good, and the snare/clap is okay, maybe try using a bit of variation in the snare changin from one sound to another intermittently.

that 'hey' sounded good at first, but it began to get repeptitive and then annoying as it sounds a bit cheap, maybe make them change notes with the song, give it a more musical edge, or take a few out.

The piano's nice too, just apply a longer reverb and it'll sound even better, the shot gun effect is good too, tho it is out of time with the tune, slice it up between the 'cocking' and the firing so it lands on the beginning of the beat.

anyways 8/10
4/5

Greeksta-69 responds:

thanks man my better stuff is coming soon thanks for the review

[this gravity]

tune!

theres something in the air at the mo with these spacey tunes.

I liked how you opened the track with the very false pretence as to where this track was going, it really threw me that did. than it kicked into some weird modern rock tune, very cool though, that vocal bit tho really sounds like marilyn manson to me, it has a nice electro vibe to it, i dont know why. the monotonous beat works, builds up anticipation as the song keeps building. nice reversed distortion.

Its a very cool track, you have a unique style which impresses me to no end, pushing the far reaches of music. it also has the vibe of primal scream too this track.

anyways i loved it. 10/10

5/5

and a dl

pitters

snoballandthmonyshot responds:

hehe, cheers pitters, summin in the air... maybe, ur recent guitar stuff inspired me to get back on it tbh, used to make loads of guitar stuff but it sits getting dusty most of the time now. marilyn manson eh? that certainly was not intentional! as for the intro giving false pretences, well, this is another track that wrote itself, i had no idea it was gonna turn all rocky, the beginning just came to a natural full stop... anyways, nice one
;ped

[Time for bed (4:20)]

hey man

cool tune, very 'ambienty'. really dreamy and sleepy, with the slow beat and synths and the guitar is really nice too. you have more musical talent in your little finger than i have in my whole body. it's really a quality track, with plenty of delays and repetition on the backing synth. I've noticed you've rolled off the reverb with the guitar too and used some ddl's which really help to bring the guitar into focus, i do think a very slow, deep flange would compliment whats going on with it too. but thats just me.

that synth that comes in later is cool too, the 'woo'y' one, then the strings too. damn this tune is awesome, absoluteley fantastic, you're getting tens all round for this and a five and a download. i think a vocal could (possibly) be the icing on the cake with this track, some dreamy breathy female vocals. wonderful though mate.

WinTang responds:

Don't underestimate yourself, mate. If I had that much more musical talent I wouldn't be so genuinely enthusiastic about your music - you're among my all-time favorite artists here. Seems my approach involves more theory to back up the instinct, well if you'd want some of that I could give you some quick pointers, just give a yell :)

Heh, it seems you wrote this review along with the song - your level of praise increases with the track's density, a very nice reading experience, I can assure you!

Anyway yeah, adding reverb and delay on the guitar did more good than I could've hoped. I'll fiddle with some flange as well, there's already some on the drums though so I'll probably have to be careful.

Vocals had crossed my mind already and I do think I'll give that a try sometime.

Thanks for all the input and praise, I hold it in high regard. Made me a happy man once again :)

[- Death Toll -]

again not bad

Im basically just gonna be repeating myself here with what i said in the other review. It's all very good, and the rhythm section is very off kilter, i like that. But again it's let down by some bad sample choices, that snare again is wrong, the distorted synth, really sounds cheap. The kick is great tho. really heavy. Theres another short distorted stab which pops in every couple of bars, i like that.

basically you have the makings of some nice tracks and loops, you're just letting yourself down with the choice of instruments.

go to www.kvraudio.com you can find loads of free vsts which will really help with your sounds. a great one is a synth called crystal. get your hands on that.

anyways another 8/10 and 4/5
