Well, I guess I'm enjoying this, but I've got to say that the late nineties were my least favorite time EVER for electronic music. So listening to this style I have to wonder about it's popularity. It must be partly a UK thing I'm guessing. In that era I was listening to jazz records and folk cassettes in dark studio apartments. My impression of that time in music is this - a bunch of people who forgot how to use real synthesizers, and hadn't learned how to use computers yet. Not meaning to be insulting at all of course, I'm just going over things in my head trying to figure out what happened back then. Thinking back, I can't think of much for decent electronic music between 96 and 2000... thinking of "The Process" and "The Fragile". You shouldn't take me too seriously, as I've never set foot in a club with a DJ in my life.
Yeah I used to wonder why so many of my friends all wanted to listen to old school stuff when there was so much better new stuff about but after a while (and being dragged out to a few nights) it kind of grew on me so I thought i'd try and recapture that early ninetys sound. I think personally that there was a lot of great stuff out there at that time such as leftfield, aphex twin, orbital, the prodigy, the chemical brothers and so on. The 90's was a really good time in my life so it's nice to revisit those old sounds as it brings back fond memories for me.
Anyway, cheers for dropping by as always man. Your thoughts are appreciated.

Cheers Chris but it's as you said "just putting sounds on lines" The bulk of the track is just loops so I wont take too much credit (getting lazy in my old age)
Cheers
FR
Cool track...Yep that's what it was, then looking at it now the music today
is still not that far away...
It's still about the bass drum drop and efx moving in and out with a simple
bass line...
I was looking for a moog sound to come in with a maaaad solo, but this
is very cool and well done....Nice one...FR
Thanks, I suppose I could try and put a moog solo on it but since I just pencil everything in it's really time consuming doing solo's. Maybe one day i'll get a decent keyboard and learn how to play it.
Thanks for dropping in and leaving your opinion.

Nice track mate! In the beginning I hear a little dub sounds in there. Definitely something for the dance floor. You never disappoint! Once again great track and thanks for the listen!
Thanks mate. I basically just picked some loops I liked and built around them so I won't take too much credit.
Glad you could stop by and leave your thoughts.
FR
Thanks. It is a good pack of loops. Normally there's only a few loops in a pack that I actually like but this one I like pretty much all of them so it was a good score.
Cheers for dropping in and commenting cru.

niice, basslines are definitely sweet, my favourite one starts from about 3:38. still I see your work more as an experimental compilation of loops than a fully realised 10 min long track. I am curious about your inspirations on the electro retro-styled tracks/sets like this - I really like older music.
I enjoyed this one. Alex
Thanks Alex. I used to make everything from scratch but I was pretty limited in what I could do so I started using loops to add some flavours that I can't make with FL. It's hard to say who my influences are as I like so much different music. It's just a case of finding something I like the sound of and then "trying" to paint around it.
I'm glad you could drop in and leave your thoughts.

I had a chance to listen to your other 2 or 3 longer techno/trance/house sets like this so far and I really like this one too. Probably I said it before but the funky bassline you've used in the first song here reminds me a bit of LFO - LFO and older stuff - I do not listen to music like this anymore but electro was always somewhere around. Maybe your track is just more chilled when compared to the raw 90's sound-image. Anyway good choice and combination of these loops.
Overall very enjoyable production. Alex
Yeh man, I'm enjoying this. Smooth sound and great use of the vox samples. As a crit I would try and tune the main melody vocal, from the first section,a little better to the track, its not far off but it sounds a little pitchy on a couple of phrases but thats just my personal thing.
Even tho it all works really well and I love it. The 4 min transition is superb really cool musical section, head boppin stuff.
shit hot mate, solid bass and rythm, with a killer lead hook. Great production if maybe a little on the dry side but fck me when you breakout at around 3.10 it gave me goosebumps.
I guess I hear a little bit the urgency of a full bladder but not really that much! I guess the insistence of running 16th notes as we go along. I like how you bring the level way down now and again to bring in a new section or element - like at 4:20 when you bring it down just to snare for a bit. always enjoy your stuff brother. we will collab eventually I hope! Dan
Glad you could stop by and leave comments. I'm always up for working with other people so if you have anything in mind then hit me up and we'll see what we can do.
FR
yeah solid grooves & energizer ! nicely done ..
despite U know I'm not into such genres but this was good enough to convince me to download it ..so I should appreciate your innovation & download premission both ..
best wishes FR .
Thanks. The fact that you downloaded it when it's not even your favorite genre makes it that little bit better that you stopped by.
Cheers as always for your support.
FR
very nice - I really like the pads beginning at 1:48 and the crashes really work throughout. Very good drop at 3:02 - arp groove pulls this together well. Cleanly produced - Well done!
-clindsay
I love the effects you have going on in this track. This track is very different then the rest that I have heard from you. It seems like you used a lot more crash and different samples in this one compared to the others. Loving it man !
Thanks, yeah i went a bit ott with the elevation efx on this one. I might get rid of the second half and just turn it into one track as i don't think it's as good as part one.
Thanks for tuning in and leaving comments.
FR
...and I just came back from a piss before i hit the play button on this one and it was really nice listen and was over in a flash...I think that alone says everything..:)
