[The BARRY SCOTT SONG!]

ACE

I FUCKING HATE THAT GUY

Khuskan responds:

Agreed.

[Khuskan - March]

goodness me

again cool lil track, the arrangment is ace, i couldn't ever be assed to do stuff like this and i aint musically gifted either. the only thing i think may need addressing are the piano in your first phrase and the horn, both sound highly synthesised, also i think the track is missing some bottom end, which i think you could add with another string section on counterpoint to the high strings, possibly....anyways great track.

Khuskan responds:

Well in all honesty, as mentioned in the advert for it, this was an experiment into learning how to use sibelius, so I was focusing on making the music look good, not sound pefect. As for this track itself, its basicaly a MIDI import into Reason with the instruments mapped onto respective NNXT's.

There is a lower end in there somwhere, I just had the cello volume down too low... I'll have the sheets up soon for it.

[Khuskan - Pulsar]

lovely stuff mate

i've listened to a bit of your stuff, for some reason i never get round to reviewing it, silly me. anyways yes, this track, it's darn good mate.

trance ain't my cup of tea, and i didn't really like the synth part near the beginning, but ur mid-section with the strings and that is really ace, you have some talent my friend, great arrangemnt thorugh out the track, layering of sounds etc etc, i'll have to listen a bit more to ur stuff, and i would think about taking the string section and doing a remix, i fucking love strings. fiven

Khuskan responds:

You have permission to remix if you want, I really don't mind, if my music inspires people, then let them be inspired methinks ;-)

A lot of my tracks heavily involve strings and other orchesteral instruments, because I have classical training in piano, whereas a lot of people these days are choosing to take up jazz based lessons.

Also, as I was learning midi sequencers, the strings were the most realistic sound you could get out of the cheap old 30 quid sound cards, so I sort of overused them in my earlier life. Keep in mind that was when I was about 12-14.

[Rucklo - Carlita]

well you've got me now

i'm a fan man, ur stuff totally agrees with how me head works, loevely sound there, plenty of delays and spacialising, suitably dark again but theres something quite euphoric about it but i cant put me finger on it exactly. it has some real potential to soundtrack something in a film this. i'm gonna hve to listen to all ur stuff over the next few days. give u sum more reviews and downloads, but agian have a listen to dj shadow if you havent, u'll find sum solid inspiration from his stuff. 10/10 fivend up

Rucklo responds:

Whohoooo, a fan :D
I´m glad you found the "euporic" parts amongst all the darkness in this song. It´s kind of the point of it all in many ways, the dark vs the more happy/exciting/euphoric. I like dark stuff :)
Well, anyway if you like this kind of stuff I´m gonna have to reckomend you to check out Kingbastard and MyHeadIsABalloon, for loads of KB stuff, you can check him out at www.mixposure.com/kingbastard
That´s one talented guy, that!

Thanx alot for the review man! When i get back to my 6mbit i´ll check your stuff out!!

[Rucklo - I Switch It On]

cool tune

i'm liking this man, the scratching is ace, i love a good scracth man, where are your samples from for the people speaking? the bass is suitably dark, which is always one of the things i look out for in a tune, yea im gonna give u a fiven and download for this. if you've never heard of dj shadow i'd advise you to go have a listen to his stuff u've got a similar style to him and early james lavelle. aka UNKLE. anyways keep it up

Rucklo responds:

Heyy!
Well, to be honest the skratching really sux ass, im not very good at it yet. Buut, just add some delay and echo, and it sounds allright :)
Dark stuff like UNKLE, dj shadow and the likes is an inspiration for the kind of music I want to do, with my twist, of course. My stuff aint sample-based, wich makes it very different in many ways. Its experimental in many ways, well at least for me, wich makes it really fun too!
I got the voice sample from a secret soap-ophera show on TV, recorded with my mic and MD, cleaned it up in cubase, burned it out and skratched it on my CDskratcher. takes a little while, but its worth the effort.
Thanx alot for the review man, ill check your stuff out as soon as i get to a comp that aint connected with dial-up(&/%&*^^*`=?#"

[Sharkpool]

5-bied

need i say more, just given u a score boost.

WinTang responds:

Aww... *smooch*

[Be that way (5:31)]

Are you sure u aint my singer????

mate this is freaky, u sound just like him, same vocal style and everything. i'm gonna listen to ur stuff a bit more, i'm really baffled as to how i ain't listened to u more, u have a really gud and varied style, which is very cool. kudos man, keep em coming, and ur chorus section soundd a bit like placebo or muse, uberness there my friend.

WinTang responds:

Haha, I don't know man, this is not the first time a hint of a "parallel life" reaches me :)
Seriously though, great to hear that I interest you. You're an awesome artist yourself. I may not have reviewed you yet but I will soon, and I'm pretty positive I gave you 5's on several submissions. Hope to hear from you again!

[Aeronaut]

nice tune

i've listened to this before and i don't know why i didn't review it then. anyways, i like it, it's a lil poor production wise but thats only a minor complaint, me singer in me band used to do a lot of stuff like this when he were playing guitar so it rminds of his stuff, which is a gud thing, hes in holland now, you brought him bk for a sec lol.

WinTang responds:

Hehe... thanks for the review. There's almost no production, I just recorded two guitar tracks to CoolEdit - all the effects and settings are from the Boss ME-30... I kinda aimed for the lo-fi sound, though I know that actual lo-fi needs to be produced as well :)

And I live in Holland too! Is he attending education here?

[BinarySun]

cool tune

this is a really nice tune man. nice use of electornica and everything, the layering of the beats good, using ambient sounds and so on, the feel of the track is uplifting, could be a proper summer track on a chill out album. Really good stuff, if only a lil more diversity such as a midsection or chorus. keep it up tho.

Amoeboy responds:

ta, this is just meant to be a loop though, not a full on trk, i never knew what to do with it.

[-MrMaestro- My Vision]

yo mrmaestro

dude you are fantastic, ive just listened to a few of ur tracks and ur frickin ace, ive gone n fiveend all ur tracks up, but my vote powers crap so they dint make much impact lol, anyways it's all gravy man, im glad ur on board.

DavidOrr responds:

Thanks! I'll have to check out your stuff when I get back from boston tonight.
