This tune is absolutely superb. The only things I think need sorting out are a couple of the high-mid frequencies resonate a bit harshly, particularly when the female vocal comes in. Also ther snare could be a bit brighter. Otherwise, this is superb, musically it's my favourite so far and i wouldn't normally go for a tune like this so good work. Souls R us by DMJ: This is a really nice track.Submitted by DJ Shiver on Thu, 2006-10-26 19:25.
This is a really nice track. I can't fault production and musically I really like it. I'd personally prefer it to be a bit more subtle with the transition fromb the harder reece to piano lovliness but thats just me. Maybe the drums could take up a bit more frequency range cos, although they sound crisp, they could be stronger. Overall this is superb tho Anzor by hksystems: Quite a nice track. I likreSubmitted by DJ Shiver on Thu, 2006-10-26 21:55.
Quite a nice track. I likre the high end riffing stuff going on. The bass is a bit basic and sticks out in the mix if you know what i mean. also the snare's a bit weedy for my taste. I like the arrangement though, it stays interesting throughout which i like. shores of the unknown by synrgy: Whoa this is a stomper! iSubmitted by DJ Shiver on Thu, 2006-10-26 20:30.
Whoa this is a stomper! i like this a lot, its really original and has a lot of levels that reveal themselves throughout it. I thought ythe drums seemed a bit quiet also the high end noisy business could do with more definition. Other than that, this is a brilliantly produced slice of darkness. nice one Have some Fun by Royalston: A really well producedSubmitted by DJ Shiver on Thu, 2006-10-26 21:20.
A really well produced track, technically this is up the top of the pile, i didn't really get into it though. it didn't seem to have anything that grabbed me and there kept being odd things that sound out of place. Like the thing that sounds like a drill, i got a bit annoyed with that. Production wise, this is sweet but I think it needs something else musically, but i don't know what, sorry. demon rising by waves power: This is a good start forSubmitted by DJ Shiver on Tue, 2006-10-24 19:02.
This is a good start for this compo, sounds like a really imaginative tune and arrangement. All the separate sounds stand out nicely. I really like the high pitched stuff that goes on for the majority of the track. I have to say the drums let it down a little bit cos there's no real power behind them, also that bass when it getsa heavier (hope you know what i mean) sounds like its a bit separate in the mix and doesn't quite blend right. But don't get me wrong, this is an impressive tune and I hope I hear more d&b thats arranged so well and not just put together to be a dj tool. Overdose by Golem: A solid track, nicelySubmitted by DJ Shiver on Wed, 2006-10-25 19:33.
A solid track, nicely produced. Reminds me of Ed Rush & Optical in the late 90's. I think the vocal sample could do with re eqing cos there's a bit of an anoying whistle where its resonating at about 2000hz (i think). Also the amen drums sound quite muffled like the sample used wasn't too good, compared with the other drums they sound a bit wrong (but maybe they're supposed to do that but i thought it sounded a bit wierd). Other than that it a good track, I'd like to hear it on a big system. by : Nice track. The bass isSubmitted by DJ Shiver on Thu, 2006-10-26 20:43.
Nice track. The bass is solid and the drums cut through well. I got a bit bored of the vocal sample towards the end, and the track sounds like it was clipping a bit too cos theres some funny digital distortion going on. I think it could do with some more layers or summat cos theres not much to the tune which is good in a way but, it would be nice for it to have a bit more depth. against all odds by djobscure: This is a great tune but itsSubmitted by DJ Shiver on Thu, 2006-10-26 19:51.
This is a great tune but its let down a bit by the production. I think with another mixdown and master this would be a tune i'd go out to buy but at the mo its not quitre up to standard. Theres distortion on the whole track (sounds like peaking), also the bass is way too low in the mix. I really like the arrangement, the tune is good but it just needs some tweaking. Translation Protection by ptah: There are a couple of thingsSubmitted by DJ Shiver on Thu, 2006-10-26 19:33.
There are a couple of things that annoy me about this track, first the drums seem out of synch with each other. Where they've been layered they don't seem to blend properly. The other thing is that it doesn't progress at all throughout the tune. There's no build up or expansion that i think this really needs. I like the pad and the idea behind the drums but i think its lacking in the execution. Sorry but got to be honest. Dirt Bike by Contayjen: This tune's got some niceSubmitted by DJ Shiver on Tue, 2006-10-24 21:47.
This tune's got some nice ideas but i think it still needs some work. Thje bass never seems to properly drop and, though it does have a nice tone in the mid range, it needs more low end. I like the fact the drums sound like a real kit but and i like the intro but, i'm afraid i'm not keen on the rest. Good ideas but it needs more time spent on it rainmaker feat. esther by mabus: I'm sorry but I can't getSubmitted by DJ Shiver on Wed, 2006-10-25 19:54.
I'm sorry but I can't get into this. Individually the tracks are good but the whole thing just doesn't sit together. The vocals don't sit on the guitar right which I find annoying. The drums are really basic too. It's a shame cos there are some really original things in this track and at the beginning, i thought i was in for a treat. |
