The Predatory Ruminations Of The Leaping Razor - N0mad23

awesome creative intro love the massive use of soundeffects very solid!
miss maybe a drop of the drumset because of the etrem complexity its hard to hear any kick or organized drums
really massive tune respect keep it up!

Another good song!
The beginning had a great sort of ethnic feel to it, the wierd detuned things sounded a bit like an out of tune sitar, and the bassline was wierd and somewhat creepy. This needs to be found by a movie producer or something

I think this does need to go into another genre, maybe wierd? Simply because I can't think of another genre for you to put this under.

Anyways, I agree with the very bottom review. Did the prey get eaten or not? We wont know. Ever.

Ste :)

I'm debating if you are a genius or a madman, same thing, so this is pure mad genius, almost like a Zappa crazy jam, so much happening but so well organized and yet like kaos, mad genius, lol. Peace.

I love the eletric feel this track gives off.Master production work and xcellent ambient add on's as well.Overall a masterful piece.Keep up the awsome work with these lifelike creations and God bless.

This wouldn't be a Trance track...Been a trance fan since I was like ten. Have many records-vinyl!!! This would be more experimental / just weird. Sorry for the harsh review, but I don't like.

hry i listened your track and , it sounds like a horror movie soundtrack, i really think you should try work harder and bult a melodic line ,and 30 reviews??? i am amazed, i think that i am the only one who dont like it , sorry if i was to critic but that is my opinion,
so good luck
cheers

-----> is somewhere over there now! Blown away by your final mixdown. So many interesting and detailed textures. This sounds amazing with the headphones, head is spinning but nodding to the beat with eyes closed. This is like the "Cheshire Cat" scene in slow-mo, all wavey & ripples like warm air over hot pavement. Wow man...dl-_-lb

Hey n0mad

mate what a stunning piece, wow, trance piece with your touch and own style, some thing real eerie about this track, like medieval, but so addictive, had to listen too it a couple of times and each time something else shone through, man you are a genius, absolutely stunning...instant fav piece...thank you for once again showing your talents my friend...Peace...Estefano...

I really like the cat sounds you've added with this draft, funny and cool! I bet this would drive a cat nuts! You have a style all your own! Congrats on the moderator status BTW!

This is a purrrrrfect interpretation of cat behavior! I too have a cat that has his own agenda. I love the way the track flows. The drums and the bass are excellent. You are so creative.

cooool, love the sounds..kinda like an electrionic digereedoo.
you are def very versitile my friend.
great work!!!

Unreal. will be back to post a real response after another 10 listens.

[NOTE: all reviews below are from the 2nd and 1st drafts]

this is too trip man!
not my usuall type but it jus sounds pure evil (in a good way

gives off a real tense atmosphere n im feelin that
pc

cats do have evil intentions don't they? mine just meows until it gets fed, and when you feed it it craps on your bed. real respect those animals have for me... haha well anyways i like the noises bro. the eerie synths work for this one, i dont know how you manage to get such trippy synths to work with the drum and the high pitch of the drum settles in nicely. nice one!!

Hey N0mad, I didn't get a chance to hear the previous version but this is amazing! Fav'd and had to listen to it 2x- dl-_-lb
I'm getting a industral vibe, much like NIN (downward spiral) This sounds very technically involed, a lot of detail and textures. Eq sounds pretty sweet too! Would like to get a copy of this sometime, tell you what... trade you one of my songs for this one lol, ttyl,
jon

Yeah!

Actually In some ways... You are like a plant...
that's the best way to explain you as a creative entity..

Silent and living... Just growing and growing thru the headphase.
Just this epic flow of eponymous creativity.

See, from my personal background I hear the drums kicking in and then it taking a more pop form.. but I appreaciate this a whole hell of a lot compared to the original.

I think pop sensibilities... I mean... It's like.. on some ways.. I have been Anti-pop for about a year and a half... and I think it's a great way to illicit natural human emotion.
but
you have crossed this line and I would hug you if I could.

It's like the web of life is integrated and the emotion and feel are one and the same... fx drops pull and toss naturally and the voice/timbre mixes effortlessly..

You need a hook.
in general.
You need hooks.
you have music and arrangement down more so than any musical artist I have ever heard Sean.

But that american sugar pop is lacking..
and I don't know if I should commend you or hug you.
but just know it's not about what people (like me especially) think about your music

It's really about what you want.
If I was with you I would drop hooks. Guitar wise.. Vocally... Spoken Poetry.

This is sooo freaking ethereal... and I will try and write something.. but I would prefer to meet your face.

somehow your song titles actually evoke a sense of fear in me. i'm not sure - oh now i remember. it's your freaky to the core psychadelic tracks!!!! AND i remember last time i mentioned being totally throughly truly through and through FREAKIN FREAKED OUT WHILE LISTENING TO YOUR TRACK i think you took it as in bad freaked out, but i mean this: OMG YOUR MUSIC IS AMAZING. I'VE NEVER HEARD MUSIC THAT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE THIS, AND IT IS POSSIBLY THE MOST moving me right off my feet force I've ever heard. I want to play this sort of milestone music for people.

In fact, I just did. Here's how it went.

So I asked "so does this music just freak you out? It just like puts its fingers into my soul and just ..... {wiggles fingers} Don't worry it's not harsh or anything." {I hand the headphones over} {minutes go by} "So is it freaky?" ... "I LOVE. It's real, real good. I love it." "Wow. Huh. Should I get you a copy?" "Yeh. Um. Maybe you should try and put some fingers in your soul."

Collab!! Let's start something.

If you've got the time! Great work. Cheers bro.

"When the Muse pulls it's best to follow",I couldn't agree more with that!Another great title,lol!
Your music seems to be coming from the depths of the Earth,progressively growing and reaching the surface.It's amazing how this one(and most of your work) is evocating(not sure about this word in English,lol)to me.
Another great one that's going to my favs
Cheers

This is a nice track... Yeah I have the same issue sometimes when making music you start with one thing them it evolves into something completely different... But hey I guess thats just being creative... Nice job.

Interesting DnB track and one hell of a long ass name for a cat LOL.

Honestly this has a heavy ambient feel the more I listened to it,
i have that same problem u had when u wanted to make one genre and then for some strange reason the music gods pull u in another direction.

sometimes its better to go with ur gut feeling rather than a plan

PEACE LOVE AND TECHNOFOREVER

Wow. this is truly a awesome sound scape. those throaty chants almost sound like a didgeridoo. i love the ambiance. i do almost feel like im being stalked by some vicious feline sulking in the tall grass. hidden just out a site but ready to pounce. excellent production!

wow, this track has you in your seat as if at a movie..when the crazy part happens and that piece of popcorn that is already in your mouth kinda just falls out and you dont even try to catch it as you are so invovled with whats going on...very intense in other words [lol]..a great listen. i was exited to see 'dubstep' and read on..as you said "when the muse.."gotta listen..very wise.
great track no matter what the genre i wouldnt change a thing!
10/10

I can't get Gmail to work for poo!
ughish

Almost has a PlanetJazz thing happening in some aspects...
But it is undeniably awesome!

I can almost picture what sounds you put together to make that epic digital hummnnnnn fill the spectrum...
GOD i ##### LOVE great space!
This is full of tempted sonics... It's like I can feel you holding back...

As far as a purist DnB goes you would "technically" have failed.
And I say YES THANK SWEET BABY JESUS lol!!!!!
Thank God!
Blow their minds sir!
Faving this one...

Altho, if you are feeling really crazy, I would think about adding some really Sawey waved synths with the epic eponymous digital wash you have going that to me represents the predatory... but please? introduce a simple counter melody?
I am feeling a TB-303.. but I could be wrong...
Something very striking timbre pops into mind.. something SCREAMING for life.

Is this a done endeavor?
I think there's more to be discovered here...
But for the time being, I am going to ##### and just enjoy this.

Thank you for being.
Gmail #####

POST EDIT.
Thank you!

You know, I was listening again today, and I was thinking about something....
The thing about cats....
This was told to me by a friend, and I have never forgotten it, and I know this is off of the music part, but more of the storyline...
but cats are amazing predators and amazingly agile.

The problem with cats, and the theories on them, is that they see the world literally like people saw the special effects in the matrix... (I should most definitely linkage some reference, but hear me out)

When you take a cat out of it's element, it immediately shuts down as a predator. It has to COMPLETELY stop all functions and watch every little detail in the room.

For example, if you move a cat from one house to another with a cage, and you release the cat, It moves slowly, checking everything out.
And day after day, the cat becomes more accustomed, and eventually the cat is jumping off the ceiling fan and scratching your face off.

It's an interesting animal.. I think they call the term momentary vulnerability... It happens with all species of live animals.

Anyway, keep me posted... all I can really do with GMAIL is log in and see what's happening but can't do anything else in my account.
I wonder at times if it has anything to do with their current state of affairs.

KEEP IT UP!

This is awesome without a shadow, man you don't beat about the bush, two great tracks in a short time, you have been a busy man.
This track really had me jacking man, to me this is serious music and you ain't joking when it comes to what you do.

Superb beats and atmosphere, i am sucker for those throat sounds, and that bass just brings all the magic together.

I could easily go a longer version of this, for i am striving for more, leaping razor, man you are a stepping razor and this is what makes you dangerous.

Superb.

A cat song!..well an inspiration from one..cool! I'm a cat person as well as a Leo....Groovy man! (lol..pardon me for using a hackneyed expression but it seemed to fit)..heavy duty rhythms and the distortion works well...quite gnarley as my surfing friends would say....The bottom line here..if you say it's Drum and Bass,it is!....anybody that's going to raise any issues with the distinction probably won't be listening to it anyway! lol...I must say that while I've always felt comfortable with my vocabulary and have endeavoured to keep pace with changing nomenclature,doing the same in regards to musical specific genres requires far too much pain and suffering..I'm all in favour of generalised descriptions,even just 'good' or 'bad' will do...I think the problem started with musical historians and commentators..however I know the hat on backwards contingent had something to do with it...cheers Dave

some nice ideas here brother.. love that throaty pad as a lead at the start... not sure of the genre but I'm not the genre police so.. ah well!! over all a well produced track would have like a little more speed but I liked it.. keep 'em coming brother

I can definitely hear this as being a good soundtrack to cat antics! Awesome title, you're always good at titling tracks! Sweet bass line, you can kind of tell it has dubstep origins, but it definitely has evolved. The percussion on this one is really laid back and kind of psychedelic, cool stuff! Very good work on this, it's quite an interesting track!

Those throat chants are awesome! Diggin the beat and overall feel to this. Where you gonna go with it? Can't wait to find out!!

The clicking of the can is, I believe, the universal food call for cats. Dogs are always in eat mode so it doesn't work for them.
