great track.lovin the bassline..a great focal aspect which keeps the 'story' flowin. the only thing i could suggest is possibly some sort of deep pads in the background, however it is fantastic as it stands ;]

Hey thanks for, stoppin by to check out my tracks!

I'm very happy with the bass line on this one too, glad you liked it.

The reason I didn't go with much in the way of pads, was to keep the focus on the melodies. I felt they deserved a big part of the mix. If I go back and work on this some more, I'll keep your suggestion in mind though.

Thanks much for the kind and helpful review!

Hey friend, I'm glad you found this one! I kept it featured for a reason, as it's one of my faves. There is a picture of the toy I got these sounds from in my gallery.

Thank you very much for listening and for the kind review!

Very pop sounding, happy beat, made me feel good after listening to it. Sounds like music you would hear in an upbeat commercial for some high tech gadget or computer. Very well put together Spivkurl!

Hey, thanks for stopping by my friend!

I'm glad I could send out some good feelings with this one, it makes me smile to listen to it.

It would be so fun to make music for commercials, as there would be so much creative freedom. I take it as a compliment that you think this track would work for a commercial.

Thank you for listening and leaving a kind review!

Hey thanks for checking out this track too! It's really good to get feedback on this one, because my wife isn't to pleased with her vocals. I'll let her know that someone else liked it too.

She seemed willing to lay down some more vocals sometime for me to use, so maybe I'll have to take her up on the offer. It would be cool to upload some as a pella, and see what others can do with it.

I really appreciate all of your glowing reviews, and the faves! I'll try and find some more of your tracks to listen to, I owe you one!

Hey friend, thanks again, you give me a lot to think about!

I think my style of dub is a little non traditional, judging by the reviews I've gotten. But I think it's still the best genre for the track.

I'm pretty happy with how this track turned out, and your words make me feel even better about it. You've made my day!

Thank you for your kind words and helpful review!

I'm fairly proud of this track, other than my having messed up the dynamics a little bit with distortion and the like. But it still works good with the theme of the track I guess.

It sounds like listening to this was like drinking some coffee for you, so that sounds like a success. :)

Your kind words make me blush in a way, you make me think better of my work. I appreciate it very much, and thank you for another fave!

I like this one Spiv. It's interesting and unusual. Not a traditional Trance (with sweeping synths) or Techno with a pounding beat but it's very melodic and yes I would say Techno/Trance. If you wanted to go that way you could make it more tradional I think but I actually like it as is. A breath of fresh air I would say.

Spivkurl replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks friend, I'm glad you liked it! I was really trying to go with a sound where techno and trance fused comfortably, I think it works pretty well this way. I appreciate your kind words and helpful review!

Cool happy trance here Spiv, I don't think I've ever smiled more when listening to a track as I did with this one. Has such as nice feeling. The bending and plucky-styled synths are what made me smile. Nice work my friend.

on Minor Setback by Spivkurl
Yeah! you definitely have a theme!
I like that!
(musically in this track, and artistically)

most people just randomly throw stuff together without a theme...
Deffo got a theme..
I wish I could learn more about this circuit bent theory from you...

Mastering is where you have a lot of opportunities... I feel... mastering to me, is about pulling out all of the sounds, and giving them a right place...
allowing pitch and frequency to lay flat against a constant moving speaker... kinda....
EDIT
I don't feel that I am infallible or a master at mastering btw..
your mastering is great!
I just think this could shine more with more left and right disparities, and perhaps higher frequencies.. I may be wrong...

I tend to do metal type mastering, but if you don't mind, i could totally bring out some stuff??

I love it...

I realize this is a bit older of your work...

It's still a really amazing track!!
Faved, downloaded
a shame I hadn't known before!

Spivkurl replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Hi friend, thank you for reviewing, faving, and downloading!

I appreciate what you said about me having a theme, I try my best. Which leads me to what you've said about mastering. I used to try and master my tracks to perfection, with some pretty good results. More recently I've been using mastering as an artistic tool, generally to help give my tracks a signature sound.

This track I think is still lacking a bit, like you've said. I don't know if I'll be going back to it though. Probably because some of the tracks I did around this time bore me a bit. :)

I appreciate your thorough review though, and I'll take your suggestions to heart on my newer works. Thank you much!

this is quite cool. has a sound that at first its like, 'ok whats going on here'; then as it progresses it becomes 'damn, this is sounding good' and by the end its like, 'whoa, I gotta play this number again!'. hehe. really like the way the vocal in the background sounds, that was really cool. definitely liked this track, levels are great, bass is coolness and everything just goes nicely together. great work!

This is a real cool, dark moody track. I like Bauhaus too, I can hear alot of that sort of vibe in there. I'm sure you must be a Martin Hannett fan?
Spivkurl
Spivkurl replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Dark and moody, yes I suppose you are right!

Bauhaus is definitely an influence on my work, especially on tracks I do vocals for. Martin Hannet, the producer for Joy Division? I'm very familiar with his work, I love Joy Division and New Order a lot.

Thanks for the helpful and informative review!

Catchy! I like the basic melody and the vocal dubstep overlay. I don't think it's overly jumpy. Just bouncy and fun.
