Submitted by crank on Wed, 2006-03-01 22:04.

interesting start.
than raggy like beat
& computer game action drop.
like clear hats.
but they should be in the center with the rest of the beat.
otherwise a bit disconnected from the groove.
cymbals are fine. more air on them tho with reverb.

interesting stuff but should be tweaked a lot.
beat should be more upfront, more punchy.

Dark Side by Terra-Rise: nice evil quality shit. tho

The Harmony by Vex: like quality of the

Submitted by crank on Thu, 2006-03-02 08:06.

like quality of the mixing.
first track i liked for quality so far.
stereo, freqs all is right.

interesting vibe switching, tho
i dont like much.
and no overall progressing inside vibes.
just stupid switching.

but sound is pro.

Headshot by Virus + Glitch: one shot beat isnt

Submitted by crank on Sun, 2006-03-12 20:53.

one shot beat isnt mine.
that fucking rubby distortion especially on kicks,
noisy mud heavy snare, VERY outstanding ghosts.

acid riffs are nice.
log percussion breakdown is very fucking good.
that vibe should be intro & outro TOO.
otherwise not much fucking interesting intro & outro.

tracks need more clear moving punchy drums.
and excited hi-end also.

The new world by Dj Obscure: nice chill jazz stuff. but

Submitted by crank on Thu, 2006-03-02 08:33.

nice chill jazz stuff.
but that fucking repeatitive hoover like stuff.
i hate it !

Analog Vibe by DOME: nice fucking energic

Submitted by crank on Thu, 2006-03-02 08:08.

nice fucking energic track.
drums are like a bit flanged, clashy.
i dont like it.
and flat vertically.
i mean a bit of stereo wouldnt bad.
drums are nicely variated. i like it Smiling
vox are old school like, redundant,
disturb from industrial vibe a bit.
i'd like some synth bleebs instead of them.
pads are nice.
more stereo !
even noise sweeps are in center Sad

i'd like more industrial dark vibe
than that jumpy vox scratching Laughing out loud

i'd make outro like intro fading out,
more coherent imo.

stalagtitus by Moonbird: nice one, but too abstract

Submitted by crank on Thu, 2006-03-02 09:29.

nice one, but too abstract for me.

Nightmare Sonata by Tedd-Z: muddy mono beat & riff. no

Submitted by crank on Thu, 2006-03-02 08:17.

muddy mono beat & riff.
no space at all.
tho interesting Laughing out loud

Gooness knows by King_Louis: all stuff is fucking mono

Submitted by crank on Wed, 2006-03-01 21:45.

all stuff is fucking mono !
pad needs more stereo.
drums needs a bit of reverb, more punch and so on.
drums are distorted.
drum looping is annoying.
hits are lazy coz of long decay ghosts probably.

tho intro is nice Smiling

migraine (remix) by mabus: nice intro, but then boring

Submitted by crank on Thu, 2006-03-02 07:33.

nice intro, but then
boring mono loopish beat all the time Sad
