snare is too crisp,especially in beginning. the noise (windy bit)needs a slower attack. nice progression. lots of detail. a bit too much panning movement. In The Morning by DJ Scape: kinda disappoints after theSubmitted by ptah on Tue, 2006-10-24 20:56.
kinda disappoints after the breakdown, did not expect bassline like that.expected it a bit warmer. nice modulation and use of effects, very nice full mix. judicious use of vocal sample. sounds like something off jungle jazz series or good looking against all odds by djobscure: intro reminds of old skoolSubmitted by ptah on Tue, 2006-10-24 20:21.
intro reminds of old skool stuff with lots of pads. pretty bad track, nice layering of beats. very tight edits. the bass is not that obvious though, needs to be turned up a bit You Are Virus by Ruffian: pretty dark. nice tech-itchSubmitted by ptah on Tue, 2006-10-24 21:18.
pretty dark. nice tech-itch style tune, complete with "uh"s! nice and full, smooth, nice use of effects, diverse reeses. some of them actually reminds me of psytrance. rainmaker feat. esther by mabus: the bass is a bit anemic andSubmitted by ptah on Tue, 2006-10-24 20:02.
the bass is a bit anemic and very little variation in the bass. too top-heavy. more of a cross-over indie rock number. the bass that is there is out of tune. pretty good song structure though and excelelnt melody and harmony elements Underground by Dj Shiver: fat reese. kick is lacking aSubmitted by ptah on Tue, 2006-10-24 20:50.
fat reese. kick is lacking a bit. the vocal and the aggressive reese is at odds during breakdowns. nice rolling tune. the vocal sits well with the main reese though shores of the unknown by synrgy: poor limewax style tune, notSubmitted by ptah on Tue, 2006-10-24 20:44.
poor limewax style tune, not really my favourite style, but still. the edits could be much more interesting, you forgot to put james brown "uh"s in like most anything tech itch-influenced, i supppose the "go" makes up for that by : too many vocal samples, tooSubmitted by ptah on Tue, 2006-10-24 20:38.
too many vocal samples, too many times. the "yeah" is especially annoying. instead develop some of the other parts more. the pads get a bit much. sounds like one long intro. nice bass Overdose by Golem: Reese could do with a littleSubmitted by ptah on Tue, 2006-10-24 20:13.
Reese could do with a little more variation. nice progression with the beats. gets a bit repetitive, the reesey parts need to be broken up a bit, it loses its impact after a while Dirt Bike by Contayjen: needs a lot more reverb,Submitted by ptah on Tue, 2006-10-24 19:39.
needs a lot more reverb, otherwise not too bad an attempt. some parts seem out of tune, but it could be intentional? changes are too abrupt. there is a sense that things were thrown together, doesn't gel together enough. Souls R us by DMJ: the happy hardcore vibe isSubmitted by ptah on Tue, 2006-10-24 19:36.
the happy hardcore vibe is not really my thing. nice reese though, also the section transitions are too rough, and the sections could be longer.there are abrupt stops where there is no indication whether it is the end of the tune or not. demon rising by waves power: quite repetitive. theSubmitted by ptah on Tue, 2006-10-24 19:31.
quite repetitive. the phrases need to be longer, much longer, also panning drums is not a good idea in the middle of the tune.the different parts don't work together to convey a clear message |
