Can't Get A Line Out... - XeLLex

Description : I made this track after spending a day listening to DJ Shadow's stuff.... I love how his stuff is all really drum-driven instead of melody driven, so I have tried to incorporate this into this beat. All made with Acid Pro, and a lot of chopping of drum clips!!!
I'd love to hear what you guys think of this track!

this was an awesome number ! "It was like the soundtrack to the over head visual of (like the stepford wives) the corporate pigs being led by the nose rings dancing like syncronized swimmers jumping to the commands of their corporate head masters to do their bidding for little or no compensation, to keep the big wheel spinning we call mother earth!!
"Darling you have painted Quite a picture here, thanks for the treat!"

I liked how this airy melody just floats over the hard drums. Good job on making it drum-driven, it really worked well holding the piece together during the changeups. Almost heard an electro freakout about to happen for a few seconds (almost). Nice track.

i like this song, the drumloops are awesome and really rythmic. Contrary to 1badmofo, i like the scratching. This reminds me of old skool hip hop. Really nice tune, good arrangement..you have talent!..keep going

i agree with other poster ... not that important ... just keep making it as you hear it ... i just use electronica, myself, as I have a hard time classifying my instrumental music, as well ...

this was great ... I don't think it is quite break beat, a little slow for that, but I am also not good at genrelizing .. but i thought it was really solid and i enjoyed the uplifting feel of it ... i didn't hear anything that i would change ... bravo ...

hey inkybreath (awesome name by the way...)....
I am utterly pants at categorising music. My reasoning was that i was inspired by DJ Shadow and his stuff is normally filed under breakbeat....tenuous i know. If you could tell me what genre you would suggest this was, I'd be grateful! oh and thank you for taking the time to review this track!

cool- i liked it-only criticism is that the scratching got a little repededive

hey...thanks for the review! i agree, the scratching is repetitive, but i agonised for ages over changing it, and after trying loads of different scratches, decided to keep it in. when i polish it up for my demo cd (if i ever get round to doing one), i'll definitely consider changing it! xeLLex
