Really good dude...

So let me see then - two or three days back it was "how the hell do I get my shit sounding like D&B" - and now it does....

Still alot of trance influence in it but that's really cool too. - Even threw in a little glitch for me huh? :)

This was a really good track - It needs a little work - something more - maybe some additional ambience but for an early work this was very good!

Keep it up!! - Looking forward to watching your progression...

PERVOK responds:

even though man, you are still a god to me...
cause i get pwned at DNB

Very nice!!

Gotta disagree with Pie - I think this is VERY chill stuff - very relaxing - A few unexpected jumps in the rythm kept it really fresh. - The reversed riff was well used.

The clavinova (I think) was very smooth - really nice riff too - the bass was a little flat - I'd fatten it up a bit but that's really no biggie...

This was one of the better "laid back" pieces I've heard on NG in quite a while.

You rock down in Miami - Keep tearing it up!

lol, word up my canadian brotha.
ill hold down the south, you got the north.
^_^

thx for rev/rate

Very cool

A little on the slightly darker side. the timpani's added alot to the piece. The vocal elements were great! Nice highs - good support - might have used a few pads but altogether a really solid track.

This FL ?

You did a great job on this one.

PERVOK responds:

yeah man this is FL thats all i use

Very Techno

Ya' - not really D&B - but not too far off either..

The beats are too regular for D&B - This sorta sounds like

BD-dit-tst-dit-BD-dit-tst-dit-BD-dit-tst-dit

wher D&B has more of a

Bd-dt-Tat-B-d-B-d-Bd-Tat

Sorry - I'm trying :)

Plus instead of an A-B-A-B composition (rythm) try something odd like A-B-A-C-D-E-C-B or something...

Lose some of the more trancy timbres - the highs - just set 'em aside for the moment and concentrate on more bass - think <60Hz - deep deep subs and chunk in a half-tempo bass riff that repeats every three bars.

You may also want to take one measure of a basic beat - copy it and chop it down to 12 beats - then overlay the two so you have 16 beats in one - 12 in the other and run it for 7 or 8 measures to hear how intricate that the rythm can become.

Good start though - Your Techno tracks are solid - really good stuff.

Keep it up!!!

PERVOK responds:

holy fuck YOU what you are talkin about.

what grade is yer theory man?

ill try to translate this into terms i can understand l8er with my bro

lol

Very solidly decent...

I'm not really feeling the chord progression - I think that maybe it's jumping a little too much between what - fifths and major 7ths - not sure man and don't listen to me anyway I really don't know what the hell I'm talking about BUT

Overall it feels a bit happy - The stabs are good but I would suggest adding a constant pad or two to support them a little more. The relentless hats and the thump kick are really good but I would also prefer a slightly faster or slower tempo - what was that like 120 spot on ? - kick it up to around 130 -OR- down to 100-105 and make up for the downtempo will a few really wicked fills...

Sorry man - now I'm ranting - well - that's what I think, but that's just my opinion...and I'm often wrong...

Later

Pandora-Tranquil responds:

good review, the song itself is way better now and has way better synths, but i cant finish right now cuz im about to go to a camp... lol

Completely unfair

How the hell ??? How many people are trashing this?

I voted 5 and your score came up from 3.4? to 3.67

That really sucks that so many retards voted low...

I liked it - started out smooth - built up into a nicely layered bit of trance. Another thing I really am diggin' is that you used the half-tempo beat so the whole thing gives this very chilled out feeling even though the tempo is alot faster than it seems - until the hats 'n rolls kick in.

You don't deserve the lousy votes that you got...
That was an awesome track

Pandora-Tranquil responds:

thanks alot dude, i really appreciate your comments, thanks for listening!

Real promise...

This shows some real promise! - as soon as you can complete it I'd love to hear the final - I won't give too many suggestions at this point - I don't want you to think that I am overly critical or opinionated - I wouldn't call this ambient though - feels a little more like straight techno in spots.

If you've never heard it then you won't understand anyway but listen to a few remixes of "French Kiss" and consider using the tempo tricks that are in that arrangement... - I forget who originally recorded it...

This could be really awesome with a little more work!

Johnny-Beat responds:

thanks for the rev. and yeah, i always get genre's mixed up. O_o.

thx again

Nice little upsets.

The rythm is just this side of uncomfortable - which is definitely NOT a bad thing - I thought it was awesome - didn't really care for the timbre of the pads but that means nothing - nice little portamento in there as well... You know what - I take that back the pads are growing on me..

I really like it.

neighborhood-plastic responds:

the whistle at the end is the 'hook'

:]

Very energetic

The drums are done well but do feel a little odd in parts - not a BAD thing - just odd - sort of a pseudo militaristic feel in places - the percieved tempo chage-ups are really nice and again the old-school timbres are awesome!

unusual melodic/chord progression but the dissonance in spots was very reminiscient of older NIN

I really liked this piece overall

neighborhood-plastic responds:

thanks!

Awesome...

Very nice track.. chilled out beats with a bit of triipy syncopation in there - gives it a nice flavor. Good supporting samples and I love the 8-bit feel in spots.

Overall great track!

neighborhood-plastic responds:

thanks for the review! nicely done, might i add.

I do all of the above. I mean it. I can back it up too.
