Thanks for listening to this piece. I shall be over in a moment to return the favour.

Hey mate. Sorry for the late reply. I've had a few problems to deal with and haven't been able to log on so it's not that i'm ignoring you in case you were wondering.
Glad you liked this track enough want to spin it so yeah knock yourself out (if you haven't already)
Take it easy mate. I should be up and running agin in the next few weeks so i'll stop by properly when i'm sorted out.
FR
dnb, not a genre I feel comfortable attempting but you seem to make it work pretty darn good. Nice effects around 2:20 making the song fade/phase, oh I don't know how to describe it, but it certainly breaks things up and adds an element of interest. Nice idea here, I enjoyed listening!
Hi Wayne, sorry for the late reply but to cut a long story short........broke lap top, took drugs, broke brain.
Anyway, since i'm now pretty much back on planet earth i thought it about time to catch up with my outstanding compliments/reviews (or whatever they're being called these days)
Thank you for leaving comments on this track (i'd forgotten how it went but it aint half bad actually)
FR
I was sorry bout my bootleg-edit version of your track that I had made without ur permission spending an hour or so, uploaded here yesterday and deleted today already xD.
Ha ha! No i don't mind. I think you're better at this genre than me anyway. i haven't exactly got any record label committments to worry about so i'll send you the parts over and you can do what you like with them.
FR
Thanks mate. There's no need to appologise. In fact i should be thanking you really. I used one of your beats to get it going.
Cheers for stopping by and leaving a few words HMNN.
FR
WOW.. great analog sweep intro, and comes the breakbeat in... it sounds so very well into the sounds... love this... great vox... nice FX... great job this track...
TCAS
Thanks, Hearing it back this morning i think it could do with a bit of tidying up but thanks for dropping by and checking it out.
Glad you like it so far.
FR
Well FR, not much gets me off my chair anymore, but this tune sure did get my fat #$$ up and moving this morning. I was going to attribute it to my coffee, but I think it was definitely your song that did the trick :)
I have no knowledge of this genre, but I do know good music when I hear it, and this falls into the category of great music. Very nice chord progressions, and I do love those pads and delayed piano.
Mix sounds great on my end as well. A definite 10 and a tip of the hat to both you and Romy.
you know its a shame that people tend to sleep on good music...take this track in particular...i was reading a convo with you and brainstrainmusic and i ended up at your place...and look what i found..this is badd azzz!!!this is by far the most exciting piece ive heard from you(and i havent heard them all) i am going to mak it a point to listen to all your music....and i would be honored totalk shop with you anytime FR...Big Ups!! by the way i downloaded this one...going in my ipod!!!
Thanks Carlos, I couldn't agree more. I actually find it quite incredible the amount of people that seem to think that we're all just going to pay attention to what they are doing, when it would seem they can't be bothered to put themselves out for anyone else. I mean i thought the whole point of this place was to hook up with other music lovers and win listeners. Or have i missed something?
Anyway, I'm glad you could find a moment to drop in and give this a listen/download. It makes it that little bit more special that i know you're busy at the moment. I'm also happy that you would be willing to talk shop with me sometime as i rate your skills among the best i've heard on this site. I look forward to it.
FR
i dig your method of making toast - keep checking it with a fork - when you are shocked it is done - i bet you bathe with radios as well - astounding electric music - gotta echo Richie's Shakespeare line!
Sorry dude! Somehow i missed this review. Haven't checked this track for a while.
Bathing with radios? I'm more of a shower person really but i always take my lap top, stereo, TV and microwave in it with me.
Glad you could stop by and check this out.
FR
Rennie Pilgrem.... there is a new kid on the block!
This is solid FR, very solid. Loving that roving synth searing through. Will now have to listen to this again after a phat one and crank it up when the neighbours are out! Thank you for the download. Excellent work!
Thanks mate, I'm suprised at the feedback this ones got as i didn't actually spend that long on it. Just goes to show you CAN work too hard sometimes.
Your comments are always appreciated DKP & i'm glad you liked the tune.
FR
Thank you in return for upping my stats a little more. I'll give you a few tips about this place as well to get you going.
The first thing is that winning regular listeners around here isn't as easy as we'd all hope. You have to spend a bit of time finding peeps that will leave comments and suchlike. The best peeps to start with are the regular forum posters 90% of them will check out your tunes if you listen to theirs.
The rest unfortunately is a bit of a numbers game. I've reviewed loads of tracks this week and so far i think i've had about three back from people i hadn't previously had one from. You've just got to try not to let it p*ss you off (It does though sometimes lol)
The other one that i find probably the most effective is to use the accapellas. If you do a good job with them then people tend to drop by more often.
Oh and if you post a track that gets no response then sometimes it's just a case of bad timing. If you play it back and can't hear anything wrong with your mix then delete it and upload it again the next day. It's quite astonishing the difference that can make. I've actually been thinking about trying an experiment where i just keep uploading the same track every day to see what happens. I bet it would bag just as much a response as uploading different ones every day.
Anyway, I wont bore you any longer but hopefully this will help to get you started here.
FR
Thanks BSM, it's encouraging to know that you think it's good enough to be sold. Perhaps i should be thinking about trying to make a few quid instead of giving it away all the time.
One day perhaps.
I just popped over to your profile but i see you're new here.
Give me a tap on the shoulder when you've uploaded something and i'll gladly stop by and give it a listen.
I'll forget otherwise.
Thanks for stopping by and playing this track.
FR
Cleo Lane, Lois Lane, what about Penny Lane? I'm well out of my comfort zone here but just thought is sounded fantastic. I am desperately trying to widen my horizons - I'll be listening to more breakbeat from here on. Thanks for a super track.
Ah, Mr Winn. How good of you to stop in. Yes, Breakbeats a bit of a difficult genre to figure out as there are lots of different varietys of it. I personally just go with the philosophy that if it aint got a four to the floor beat pattern & it's electronic, then it's breakbeat. Or it could be 2 step, or garage, or whatever lol.
I'm glad you managed to find a moment to tune in and check it out.
FR
Thanks Rats, To begin with i have to say i was laughing at your blatant swearing on the forums the other day. That got my day off to a good start.
Glad you could stop by and check out this track.
I'm now over to see what you've been up to.
FR
que the lazers and copious amounts of powdered methylenedioxymethamphetamine!!! its party time and FR brought the tunes!!!! love the synths, and the overall mix. sounds real professional. nice job dude, diggin this one.
Thank you my friend. I'm glad you like the track and that's a bit of a mouthful that methylenedioxy watchemacallit.
Cheers for leaving your thoughts. I've had a right sh***y old day and words like this cheer me right up.
FR
Thanks man, Just been checking out your page. I'm digging that funky electro breakbeat number as i type. I like your style and i'll be tuning in more often.
Thanks for dropping in and leaving comments & links.
FR
Let me start off by saying breakbeat definitely ain't my thing..
That being said however, It's a nice full production that you've come up with which has a good progression and structure. Some cool vocal effects going on and the build up's really cool. Sound choices all complement one another and no synths sound out of place to my ears :)
I would say though, that odd bass note panned to the left unbalances the mix a bit - maybe try adding something on the hard right to restore a bit of equilibrium? That's what I'd do anyways... but other than that, good job man!
Yeah, Breakbeats a funny old genre. I love the distinctive records kind of style but i'm not too keen on the fuel records kind of vibe, which seems to have been invented solely for rude boys to show how much bass the sub woofer in their boot kicks out.
There is an odd bass note panned to the side? I knew i shouldn't have done this on drugs!! Sh*t!! I'll have a look and see if i can find the offending sound.
But on the plus side, Since i know you don't like to hold back on constructive critisism i can content myself with one mistake.
Cheers for dropping in.
FR
Well, I've been listening to some chilled music and enjoying my morning coffee, but now the caffeine is kicking in and I need something to go with it.....and this song is perfect for that.
Great driving beat that just sweeps the listener along for the ride. Production is stellar as usual.
A great way to get the pulse rate up my friend. Well done.
Thanks Bear, I'm just glad it didn't go for another round of Zero reviews and Zero downloads like it did when i first uploaded it. It did sound like c**p when i played it back again though. The LFO's were so harsh it sounded a bit like one of those old ferric oxide tapes when they got old and worn out lol.
It's funny you should turn up now as i found myself staring at the "get on the bus" rar file earlier and thinking "I was going to have a go at that wasn't i?" tsk tsk! Perhaps now would be a good time to start huh?
Thanks for dropping by and checking out this latest offering.
FR
yeah i listened to some of it when you posted it at first. Either i have a bad memory or this time it sounds different. Really enjoyed it. Now to save it and hit the gym with it.
Yeah, i have this terrible habbit of just chucking tunes up as soon as i get to the end. Then i play them back the next day when i can hear again properly and think "So that's why nobody's commented on it then"
I'm glad that this time round you liked it enough to bag a copy and i hope it helps you get stuck into those modern day torture machines they install down the gym these days.
FR
Freakin' cool track FR, right from the beginning i was hooked. great sounding synths, they all work so great together. Excellent arrangement and quality production as well, you da man!!
Thanks Wayne. Now what i really need to do is stop posting stuff before it's ready. It's a terrible habbit and i do it every single time, without fail.
Thanks for giving it a listen. I'm feeling a lot happier that this time round it's managed to get more than zero comments and zero downloads. It must have sounded shocking before lol!
FR
First of all that name you've chosen for yourself is like a subliminal message. I keep thinking "Get towel, bucket and spade and head to beach"
Thanks for your kind words of inspiration. It's comments like that, that make it all seem worthwhile.
