Battle of the beats 2006 - V: reviews by King_Louis

psycosis by kit: Nice pads and atmospheres..

Nice pads and atmospheres.. found that the beats were a bit dark?  Great patterns… I imagine that if Silentkiller were into atmospheric stuff he’d write this (that’s a compliment by the way).  Maybe it’s the vocal stabs eh.  Will be very interested in how the beats were done.  Good work!  Would have scored more if it changed more after the second drop  8/10

Made me smile!  Very inventive, reminds me of that guy from Florida from a year or two ago… mad tunes!  I like this… good fun.  Beats produced well.. bass could have had a bit more oomph in it?  Sounded a bit like a preset too  7/10

When Push Comes To Shove! (WIP) by Vex aka Rezidue: OK tune, wasn’t really

OK tune, wasn’t really moved by it…. Thought it could have sounded “bigger” in both the drums and the bass.. particularly the bass..  yeah actually, it’s funking me more the more I listen to it 7/10

They Prey by Ruffian: Not keen on some of the bass

Not keen on some of the bass patches around the drop… thought the some of the distortion on the low notes was a bit to dirty… I liked the sweeps though, it’s just when the distorted note was held if you know what I mean.  Needs more kick drum! 7/10

Thought the bass could have been a bit more growly, was a bit clean.  I like the way it was made a bit more dirty at 1:51.  What about some distortion before then?  Interesting musically… not exactly my thing but yeah… err.. it’s cool I suppose. :]

not really keen on the violins in the intro… thought the beats could have been higher in the mix and brighter… musically, it was almost there for me but was a little bit euro-techy for me… again, not keen on the violins @ drop 2.  Seemed to get louder at 2 minutes?  2nd half of tune is better.  Didn’t like the harpsichord / horn like instrument after second drop, but nice pad though 5/10

Bin Juce by Mike Native: Really liked the beginning

Submitted by King_Louis on Tue, 2006-09-26 22:36.

Really liked the beginning but wasn’t keen on the filtered reece that came in I’m afraid.  Nice beats and intro etc.  Not keen on that filtering.  Tune didn’t really evolve much… quite 1 dimensional for me I’m afraid 4/10

Timerun by DMJ A.K.A Jossi: hmmm…!  Inventive

Submitted by King_Louis on Tue, 2006-09-26 22:39.

hmmm…!  Inventive but really not my cup of tea.  A bit too clowny I’m afraid.  Beats could come up in the mix a lot too.
