on watermark instrumental -Looking for Collaboration by bobbybooth
I like this, without vocals it sounds more like chill out. And im not even really a fan of this kind of electronic music, but i like this, sounds a bit like Massive Attack.

Like this 1 Bobby, I think its got a good feel to it altogether.
The only thing I'd change would be the transition where it goes into the drum & bass, just the drum roll seems a little harsh doesn't seem to go
for me, apart from that, a great track & fav's
peace

Thanks man. The transition is one thing i always kinda thought i would change, but i ended up leaving it. the snares and that hit might be a bit much! But thanks for listening, appreciate it man.

I really like the atmospheric vibe of this song! The noise sweeping is really cool! I feel like I've heard that piano line before somewhere. Nice beats, and especially cool fills! Did you put a tempo change in there, it sure sounds like it. Nice track!
bobbybooth
bobbybooth replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
thanks Spiv. Appreciate what you say. Yeah there is a kind of tempo change when i add the extra kicks and snares.

i really like it from about 3:45 or so to the end. this is an interesting track in a good way. could use a bit of mixing and eq in my opinion but im terrible at that stuff so i cant really give ya tips :)

the beat got my attention, as has been said the vocals weren't quite up to par. but the beat.. yes yes
bobbybooth
bobbybooth replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks Mate. this was a very early production. Im going to go back and master it at some point and i may look for some vocals at the correct bpm - I think it will just make it a much more professional sounding track.

I like when the bass is played in chords, that sounded fat! Nicely executed glitch vocals, it sounds pretty trippy. Awesome pop sounding beats! A really fun song!
bobbybooth
bobbybooth replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks spiv. I do like those phat synths, they sound so good. The beats actually have a guns and roses sample in there believe it or not!

on You by bobbybooth
Sounds big once the vocal and drums come in man, if It were my track I'd cut down the intro a little bit. Nice tho fam, very nasty and well realised once everything comes in.
bobbybooth
bobbybooth replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks mate. have to say, having listened to some of yours, im willing to listen to your advice. i may well mess with that intro. not really happy with the transition. wasnt so bad with the vocals on it, but since i took them off it sounds a bit weird to me.

on You by bobbybooth
The low synth, bass, reminded me of a Lenny Kravitz tune which I thought was pretty cool. I can't help you on the genre but it has potential with some cool vocals and a kickin mix. Great idea, hope you get someone to do some vocals!

on Sleep Disconnected ft Grotesk by bobbybooth
Play 2 now...

Superb lil scratch break @ around 0:33 (another nice scratch @ around 2:29)! Great drumwork @ around 2:50 onwards!
& "...Didn't mean to 'Who-oink' me"? Oh, wake... Wake, gotcha!
Just playin. Also, I really dig the bits of the lead strings you've got on this. Give it a grimy classical HH flavor, me thinks.
Can only suggest 2 things with this one. First is easy, the name (might wanna ad *featuring Grotesk for the appropriate credits, ya know?). Second is the sudden end. This song was so jammin that it was really unexpected. Beyond that, really smoothly done here mate. Lates!
bobbybooth
bobbybooth replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Cheers man. if i remember rightly - one of those scratch samples was from you!(under a different name right?)
Im not sure if it was cheesy or not to have the alarm clock and the stop starts matching the sleep bits, but what the heck.
good call on the credits - grotesk contributed alot to the track after all.
hmm the end. yeah maybe it is sudden. I guess i was thinking it kinda ended it in time with the vocals, almost like a sign off, thank you and good night and back in the box.

This was a track i did ages ago so appreciate you giving it some love. Was the first one i felt like it was cleanly produced after trying to force vocals into some other tracks - watermark etc.
Thanks Dave-Rage :)

on talk about the sky- ft Hektor Skillet by bobbybooth
Play 2 now...

The random:
It came from the late 80s to kill 'em all with distorted drums of death!

The good:
Pretty good job of matching and capturing the vibe contained within the vocals. Quick question, did you actually play guitar or use guitar loops on this or did you just use another sound font and add effect on it to make 'em sound that way (like I've done a few times before)? Either way, they sound pretty jammin- 'specially when paired with the drums.

The bad & suggestive:
Dunno why, but right off the bat I'm thinkin that this would sound so much cooler if it had some female backing vocals (either solo or choral style). Think along the lines of some gal doing a cover of Oasis's tune Wonderwall (maybe just a couple of lines like- "All the roads that lead you there are winding... Blinding..." and so on). Also, watch yer levels on this (it was pushing the edge comin outta my speakers). Beyond that, coolness mate. Lates!

(edit- forgot to mention that this might be better placed in either Industrial or even Rock, I'd go with the former though)
bobbybooth
bobbybooth replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
cheers for the review man. I was hoping you would do this one, its not getting many plays for some reason and your reviews are so thorough!

Drums of death! like it. They are heavy arent they. I like how they drive it on. The guitar is just a sound font, with some effects and i messed with the velocity to make it sound a bit more real.
with the vocals - i was looking for a singing acapella really 0- not to take anything away from Viktors vocal which is pretty cool.A cover of wonderwall - interesting thought!!

and yes - originally i did post in Rock, but its electronically made, and often the rock posts are more garage demos, and im not sure if it would fit or not. industrial might be about right.

My favourite part of it is probably the strings though - when the vocal says one day i will touch the sky, and its cut back to just guitar, bass and strings i think its a pretty nice moment, before the drop back with the drums.

on Like This Watermark - Driving HipHop by bobbybooth
Love this track. It goes along nicely. That constant sound in the background, maybe bass?is briliant. I listen to a lot of music like this. It is hip-hop i suppose, but i noticed a review mentioning Unkle- and their right. It has that Dj Shadow, Unkle sort of style. Very good. Atmospheric. The tempo change is great too. Works so well.

on Kiss My Face by bobbybooth
Haha, i like your reference to the tone deaf Chemical Brothers. This is a great track. It really builds up, and every part in the song gets better and better. It's a really well thought out track. And it does remind me of the Chem.Bros a bit too. To me its a bit like The Japanese Popstars too. But then again, its still an original piece of music. The hi hats/cymbals you used are great- gives it a kind of edgeiness, and helps with the build up. Excellent- well done.

I too really appreciate the glitchy aspects of this track, and the dirtiness of it! That bass line is super infectious! I like the variety of the beats on this track! Your synth work on this is superb! The mixing and mastering sounds really good too, even if you say you don't know what you're doing. Really nice track man!

on When I give my heart to Freda by bobbybooth
I wasn't really into this for maybe the first 30 seconds because I felt like there was too much going on, but as I just sat back and relaxed, this immediately grew on me and I didn't even really realize it until the song ended. And then I played it again and liked it all the way through. I love the basslines and the scratching (that bit from 2:43 to 3:01 with what sounds like a female vocal sample is just beautiful) and as mentioned in your description, the old school feel. I don't listen to too much hip-hop, but when I do, this is the kind of stuff that I like. Nice work.

on Kiss My Face by bobbybooth
Play 2 now...

The random:
This makes me think more along the lines of Electro mixed with New-age, but that's just me (shrugs).

The good:
The intro makes me think of some epic theme song to something like the Transformers or Mission Impossible or XXX (Vin D & I Cube ones) or something. I also dig the subtly of the higher synths on this. They mix in perfectly with the bass & drums IMO. I also really dig that bit of synth you had at the end.

The bad & suggestive:
I'd think about maybe bringing in the slow pianos earlier (or introducing some other element) to add interest and depth to that first 90 seconds - 2 minutes. At the mo' if it were my piece I'd wanna throw on some John Williams-esque strings (dunno, been on a orchestral kick lately). Think of it for a second, how bad @$$ would it be to have this paired with something soundin like the harmony parts of Duel of Fates (I think that's the name of the song, it's the famous one from Episode I). Another thing you might consider is hookin up with someone for an A-side/B-side like collab on this. Anyways, bangin foundation you've got here. Keep bangin away at it. Lates!

bobbybooth replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks for the in depth listen man. really appreciate your reviews, they are so much more constructive than the usual. I know what you mean about that first 90 secs, i think that it needs something in addition to the beat changes. i think i might look at some more keys, unless i can get some decent strings together.

on When I give my heart to Freda by bobbybooth
Play 2 now...

The random:
Dunno why, but this reminds me of the San Fran level of the PS1 game Driver mixed with that one laboratory scene in the movie Formula 51.

The good:
Great usage of turntablism on here and I'm half tempted to ask what kinda controller yer usin for it (real or USB device or program VST). The beats and bass were pretty tight. Reminds me of a mix between Fat Boy Slim, Beastie Boys, and Dub Pistols. The vox were pretty tight, though I'm strugglin to figure out what the point of the message is.

The bad & suggestions:
Nothing really comes to mind as being obvious or whatever (mixdown & style-wise). Hmm, well, there is that second & third bit of scratches and vox-sams that seemed to come out as a bit too hot (compared to the rest of the song). A noticeable build that possibly went up a lil high. Then again, that could've been an editing choice on your part (preferences and all that). Either way, that's the only thing that came to mind on what I'd wanna work on. Beyond that, it's pretty jammin mate. Lates!
