Decimal Time - Visionarysoundsystem

Description : I think this is Drum and Bass. It sounds like it to me. Please correct me if you think otherwise. Thing is it's only 90BPM ! Is that too slow to be D & B ? I started off this track by messing about with some synth sounds. I wanted to produce something atmospheric & moody sounding. Once I had done that I kinda knew how I wanted the drums & percussion to sound. When I had began to find them I thought - Hmmmmmmm Drum & Bass sounding to me. By the time I had put the vocals on (some loops from an EJay D & B disc collection) and added some extra bass I had ended up with this. I'm pleased with it as I like it and I think it works ok. Not brilliant but ok (maybe a bit more melody somewhere along the line). The mix may need a tweak here & there, please advise me on that if you care to. To be honest I was working on something along the lines of a chilled type Prodigy track & I seem to have ended up with a Goldie type track. Anyway enough of my ramblings. I hope you enjoy the track & thanx for taking time to stop by & listen. Peace, love & justice to y'all people

I know absolutely nothing about DnB. But I do know great music when I hear it, and this is great music. It's difficult for me to offer any kind of constructive criticism, especially when I enjoyed it so much, so I'll just sit back and sip my coffee and enjoy the song.

Sometimes a smile is the best review one can receive. I'm grinning from ear to ear :)

Hello Mr Bear. Thanx so much for taking time to stop by, listen and review. I really do appreciate and thanx for such a positive review. DnB is a bit of a secret vice of mine and I hope I have managed to pull something passable off in the genre.

I have no idea if this is a sub genre already, but this feels like "chilled" DnB . Very easy on the ears, yet still gives enough of that punch to properly keep the song moving forward. Dope man.. Peace

I absolutely adore this kind of DnB - I'm guessing you do too otherwise your track wouldn't of ended up like this lol. The best example artist I can think of that does a similar style is LTJ Bukem.... absolutely immense talent. lived a few streets away from me actually ;)

I would of liked to see a snappier kick drum in a more sort of consistent pattern and there seems to be a bit of an overlap in 1 or 2 places with the hats but aside from that this is friggin awesome :) fav'd

Thanx Toonz. Kind review to say the least and to be compared with someone like LTJ B is praise indeed. This isn't a genre I would normally attempt so please forgive me the odd blip lol. I will take your advice and at some stage attempt a remix and try to use your suggestions. Thanx for listening & reviewing. So much appreciated from someone like your-self that makes such good sounds. Respect my friend

This still qualifies as DnB! I think why the 90 BPM works is that you are using it at double time in the case of some of the percussion. So it feels like 180. Very creative use of the vocals! This is a nice ambient style of DnB! The mix sounds pretty good to me overall, but I might bring out the bass a little more. Great work!

Thanx for the review Siv, very kind. I did try to "up" the bass by sending it into the sub-bass zone but my CPU was being eaten up and I was suffering a Rice Krispies moment with my speakers (snap, crackle & pop) ! Thanx again my friend for taking time to listen & review so positively.
