yeah good tune man. The bass line is really simple and solid, which Im starting to realise is better than complex and solid.
the whole thing iis pretty simlple actually, it all works really well, sort of a fischerspooner feel. You could take it a lot further though, if you introduced a snare the song could really pick up. I dont know if thats distortiion on the vocals or if its clipping or a bad quality mike but fixing that would give it a better feel too. keep it up

Hey thanx for the feedback! To be honest i have never heard of fischerspooner, i just checked out some of their stuff and i think your right. I usually like to keep things simple in my songs. Occasionally my ADD will kick in and ill make a song like "the darkest place" but for the most part i keep it simple. And as for the vocals, a type of fuzz and reverb was added to them to make it have more of a gritty effect. I don't know, if you think it sounds like clipping maybe i should change it. Anyways thanx for the review, i appreciate it!

it sounds a lot like that song sweet dreams, but thats a really good song so cudos to ya.
the drums are really good in this but i think with some hats or tambouriine on every 16th they might sound more iintegrated with the tune. nice one brother

yup, no doubt. The melody is pretty much ripped straight off of that song. Although I did everything in this song, the melody was not written by me and this was pretty much submitted as a test for NG. Anyway, thanks for your advice & a good review.

yeah this is one of my favourites of yours. The high end apreggio bits sound awesome. The acid sounds wicked too. If the beat was a bit more pronounced this would be even better, but theres a lot acid at the bottom end so its hard to separate the two. keep em coming
Author's Response:
I was hoping no-one would notice!
The kick and snare definately need to be beefed up, you're absolutely right.
But if you got some second degree burns from the acid, then I'm pretty happy.

This needs to be played loud in a warehouse with lasers and convulsing junkies around. good stuff. some of the glitches are a bit random though, they might take away more than they add. And lay off the zero voters man, my uncles a zero voter.

Those drums that filter their way in are water tight man. I notice if you can pick the right shaker/hats to slot in between the kick and snare it makes it, and u picked it here.
The instruments supported the drums nicely, very atmospheric, as with most of your work but the drums got my attention. Nice work

As stupid as this sounds, I find the drums and bass in drum and bass the hardest to write. This is why I decided to try out a more ambient track to put the focus on the melodies as opposed to the drum and bass parts. I wasn't that impressed with my drum line personally as I felt it was a bit weaker than it should have been, although you obviously thought it worked pretty well. So thanks for the review, it's always nice to hear what someone with fresh ears has to say,

Thats a full on song man. It reminds me a lot at times of Autechre. I really like that filtered and flanged drum and bass drum busting out behind the more conventional break at about 0:55. Maybe a bit too random to hold attention to for the full length, if you brought it back to the ambience and orthodox beats halfway through you could build it up again to the mayhem. Cool song anyway, teach me to glitch!

This has some really good beats in it. The closing beats sounds really tight. If you could tighten up the bit with the echoey guitar sounding bit it could be awesome. ill keep an eye out for some more of your stuff, it sounds like the stuff im into. check out some of my stuff n see what u think

This is a really well made track. I have trouble knowing when to stop adding things to my songs but this was put together really nicely. I think this might be hip hop, sort of a slowish breakbeat. smooth

The bass synth sounded sick and i was hoping it would bust out and fill out a bit more. its an awesome build up and i reckon u could do heaps with it. But i didn't really hear a breakbeat? good stuff anyways

its a cool song. fits together nicely and the name suits perfectly. it should inspire a smoking game on gameboy. tap a & b to inhale. maybe not
