This one just rolled over

This one just rolled over me...was listening to it without realising it was part of the BotB! That's not a bad thing by any means, though; suited my mood perfectly.

Loving the drum work in this one, nice programming. They sit well in the mix too.

Pads: Gorgeous textures n chords.

Vox samples: Nice bit of spoken word, adds to the atmosphere really well.

Bass: Sits perfectly in the mix; again, nice and rounded!

I don't have much to say for this track, apart from that it was bloody good. Vibes're nice and chilled. Smiling


198 - Less of a dancefloor

198 - Less of a dancefloor track this one, more of a chilling vibe to it.  I love those vocal ahhs and the track reminds me of FSOL or Orbital.  The jungle drums, even though low-key and not my thing anymore, seem to suit the mood of this track.  The chilled vibe and the sample are sweet, though the sample is slightly over used.  Yeah, definite Orbital vibe to this.

Oh me cod, some one has founded bladerunner again. For next choon u could go for gits or apocalypse now Smiling Besides of that this is good choon. Mellow ambient tune with good atmosphere. Maybe a little minus for being not very original. I didn't feel part after 6:40 really did fit very well there somehow the whole mood of the tune changed and it could have ended there.

198 - Mixdown is too quiet.

198 - Mixdown is too quiet. Not a bad tune. Extremely mellow. Percussion lacks umph. Nice clean amen tho. Bass is mostly just subs. Maybe could use a bit of harmonic to make it audible. Love the vox. It's a good tune man. diggin' it.

digging the brokenbeat

digging the brokenbeat intro, good stuff. also like the droning pads. good space in the mix so far, nothing sounding too crowded. there is one sound that seems to diverge with the rest of the mix from a scales standpoint, it starts at :42...yeah, it goes into some sort of major scale framework, which detracts from the otherwise sparse and unsettled vibe. i'd suggest taking it out altogether...not that it's a bad sound, just that it really takes away from the otherwise dissonant sound you've got going here.  nice spoken vocal sample, and i like the bass as well. the main break sounds good in the mix.  nice little amen drop at 3:20-ish, although there's that confusing choral-sounding sample again.  there is the spoken vocal sample again, maybe that's one time too many.  the drop back in is nice.  overall, good tune, interesting enough for sure, although it could really do without that chromatic choral sample that seems to resolve to a major chord in an awkward way.

Someone left the title in the ID3 tag Eye-wink 'Only the good things'...
Cool sounding guitar-delay-thingie in the intro. I dig the helicopter break too, maybe needs a touch more punch tho. Nice vox in there. Got some nice musical harmonies going on in the various elements. Another chill tune, not my style, but not bad. Perhaps a little too much sub? Breakdown vox needs some mid/high eq'd out of it, overall I think more eq-work is needed. Nice combo of elements working together tho, but I myself may have changed some note-patterns. Title fits nice Eye-wink

This is nice too, I love the American-Indian feelin instrument U'v got wading in and out at intervals, gr8 stuff...seems like there alot of ambient D&B-hedz on BoTB lol!... I like the Drum slicin, very cool, turns the track into a nice little roller Smiling  I'm not a fan of jungle though, and as a whole the track doesn't grab my attention, which is summat I need as a listener :s Production quality is v.good though!


Relaxing track

Relaxing track indeed...drums and bass are great....nice pads and backround sounds...not my fav style of dnb,but great for some chill out vibes. Only complait is this is a long song, but still good none the less.

nice vibe.. reminds on oldskool tunes from 95
just read "2006 vip" so its maybe an rmx of an older tune.
hm.. what else to say.. sounds homogen & nice, but nothing really progressive / cuttin edge.. nice for chillout after a hard weekend =)


made with reason? again..

made with reason? Smiling

again.. nice ideas, but the quality is very low :/ what is very sad, because i think that this can grow up to a very godd track if you put a lot of effort on mastering your tune Smiling

I got a wierd reaction when i first listened to this track, sounds like u over-compressed it or something, cant really put my finger on it but something isnt right here.
The rest of the tune on the other hand is pretty good.

Thanks for all the comments guys - I'm relieved it didn't get slated like I expected. 
Definately next time I'm gonna make sure I do a proper mixdown!
