pitbulljones's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[A regular day (2:16)]

gorgeous

well i go away, i come bk and i find this lovely piece of ambient guitar from the 'tang innit. very relaxing, simple but soooo seductive. the quality of the guitar is awesome, extremely clean and crisp, seems you've been working on getting a good take, helps though with an acoustic don't it.

If anything i think you could really open this track out somewhere, the way i'll stretch the intros out, add a quiet string quartet, filling the surroundings of this mix, let it grow and mutate into an even more beautiful creation, like a caterpillar to a butterfly.

with regards to mogwai, i'd almost certainly say yes, sigur ros too. simply brilliant.

i can't give this anything less than a 5.

WinTang responds:

Yeah I missed you, thanks for the kind words mate.
Glad you like the guitar sound, I'm slowly getting the hang of it. I dunno, I find electric easier to mix actually, I just went a bit overboard in the Narshe tune :)
Here, I had to do a lot of trial and error to get it to sound lo-fi and not just crappy.

As I told padman, an opus more magnum is in the making. I just don't have a lot of time to spend currently.

Hehe, our Mogwai and Sigur Ros thing :)
Hope to hear more stuff from you soon!

gorgeous

really is a great track mate. the beat is really sweet, the opening guitar and vocal really chill you out. i thought it would have carried on but it didnt, and the way it went is cool, with the added beats short jazz rhodes and bass with the xylophone style notes, really sweet. Back into the opening vocal part again, i really like that vocal just swooning with the tune, it reminds me of a band, but i can't remember who, quality track tho mate. the double tracking really emphasises the vocal lines too. the production is spot on too, clean, crisp and clear. nothing is too heavy or to quiet. u must have a really good mic and vocal plugins. cracking tune yet again mate, you should attempt to garner some air play for this little beauty. try god of the pod yet again. or send it in to zane lowe for the evening session. get it out there.

10/10

5/5

[Rucklo - Distress Call]

awesome

i love the arpegiated synth line, that runs througout the beginning of the track, that vocal sample thing tho is slightly irrating needs sum reverb and distance on it. when the proper section of the track kicked in instanly i thought of DJ Shadow, truly awesome beat arrangement and scratching going on. the actual production quality is fantastic really clean mate. again i dont like that vocal thing, its too close, and thats the only thing i dont like. the track is stunning tho mate, really impressed, its been a while since ive heard any of your output and i have to say u just keep surprising me.

10/10

pitters (loves you)

Rucklo responds:

You´re absolutley right about hte vocal, it´s too loud and upfront. I never really got to mix the vocals taht good, i was too lazy :) I´ll definitley remember that for the next song tho :)

DJ Shadow, is one of my influences, really glad ya see that! :)

Thanx for the review, i´ll keep surprising ya;)

blippity bloppity blop

cracking tune Ped'. Love the glitching elements that feature early on in the mix. the 808 is awesome alonf with the synths. really takes the listener on a journey as the track moves into a darker moment then lightens up again, its really reminisent of the late nights dance tunes you find on R1 at like 3 in the morn, don't take offence at that as thats when proper tunes appear rather than pop shite.

I thouroughly enjoyed the track and i always love the use of old skool analog instruments, when used well they sound brilliant as they do in this track. obviously some knob will come along whinging that u used 808's and 303's 'should have used real drums' bollocks and shite. but fuck em its a solid track, another to add to the collection.

5/5

snoballandthmonyshot responds:

yeh, 808 may be cheap but i fookin love the sound, plus, along with the analog synths it's much easier to mix than all this electro-acoustic stuff i've been spewing out of late.
love and kisses

[Time for Bed - vocal edit]

lovely

this track has been looping for about 15 mins now, im just blissed. the vocal really compliments the track ped you've done a good job for 'tang. any chance you gonna lay that vocal down for flounder btw?

lovely stuff

snoballandthmonyshot responds:

[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

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.

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.
