on Missunderstood Instrumental by DustHill
You keep making the great stuff and I'm gonna have to keep reviewing it and saying it's great. Now for some critical review. This track is mastered better than ones before. It's got a nice mix. I'd probably add a touch more compression personally and punch up the bass and the percussion just a touch. I do especially like the clarity on the piano though and I wouldn't lose that. Now also these tracks as you've indicated are kind of set up for a vocal in that they don't have a solo instrumental line on top of everything. In my mind for instance I was adding the solo instrumental as I was listening to it. So for instance you could make this a non-vocal piece in it's own right if you chose. There, you asked for feedback and that's my take. As it is it is still a great signature Dusthill melody and mix. Very listenable. One of your great strengths Dust. Keep em coming.

on Distant Times Instrumental by DustHill
Pretty little piece. Always very listenable and ready for vocals as you said. It has the Dusthill signature sound and that's always a good thing. Always listening...

on Muevelo un poco by Dembow
Damn good Dembow! Always interesting. Very fun track. Upbeat. Had to download it as usual. Curious as to what setup you use? Do you make your own sounds or use libraries? Always good. I like your stuff girl. :) Mas! mas! (Did I get it right?...lol)

on Whitelight - Edens Garden by Whitelight
Good track Whitelight. I agree a good vocal would probably make this even better. But I still like the track even without a vocal.

on Distant Shoreline by jfw
This is a nice piece jfw. Very pleasant and easy on the ears. I've been meaning to ask you btw are you a big King Crimson fan? Your logo kind of says it all I guess but maybe you just like the art? I can't quite put my finger on it but I feel I've heard this style of music before somewhere...just can't place it. Interesting.

Thanks for listening again Koble. I am both a fan of the band and the artwork. Cheers.

on Runner in the Dark by Spivkurl
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!

on Esta noche by Dembow
Hey Dembow, I haven't heard anything from you for awhile but this is very nice. All the Dembow trademarks are here. Sweeping synths. This is more complex than some of your earlier stuff and it's nice to see the progression. Have to add it to my playlist of course. One of your fans. :) Please do more.
Cheers,
-Koble
P.S. Actually have to fav it. Damn good!

on Stay - featuring Stephanie Kaye by Xtaticauk
wow the start is bit abrupt but the vocals work well with this piece. You know I love your style of Trance. It's nice to Steph's vocals work so well with this one. Very catchy. A Xtaticauk trademark. I've got so many of your pieces on my playlist man, keep it up.

on School Bully by SLAPJOHNSON
Nice job Slap. Yeah funky in a big band way. A little James Brown. A little Bootsie. I love the bass. I'd make it a little fatter with some compression perhaps. I want to hear that percussion pop and that bass phat! This is a nice commercial piece(and that's a good thing).

on While I am Waiting Instrumental by DustHill
Always nice. Simuliar to the recent pieces you've been doing. Very listenable. Serene in a way. Makes me feel at peace when I hear your pieces Dusty. What's with all the downloads and no reviews? Come on people give the Dust man his due. If he's good enough to put on your iPod let him know he's doing the right thing. (There, my rant is over...lol).

on Maybe I Was Wrong Instrumental by DustHill
Another Dusthill classic. Tuneful, soulful. You know I've got a couple of tunes based on your work (loops) I haven't uploaded yet but I play them all the time...lol. Always inspiring. I always think my arrangements aren't as good as your music.
DustHill
DustHill replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
heya kobey thxx fam feel ya but I gotta say theres always people that manage to make a complete new arrangment or add even things themselve and make it like a unique track that way that sometime is even better then the original think ^^ thx for the feedback appreciate

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

Nice techno piece. High Energy. Polished. A Lofthouse trademark I might add. Hadn't heard this one before. I like it. Have to download it and put it on my iPod. Good stuff.

on humbly by kmy
Nice kmy. :) I recognize the underlying loop. I used it in one of my pieces. I like your delivery. I gave a listen to a number of your tracks and I like this best. I'm not normally a Hip Hop fan and so I like this RnB best. It's got a nice beat and treatment. I like everything about this track. It's interesting and original. I'm kind of surprised actually you reviewed one of my tracks. It doesn't seem like your kind of music. By the by, is that kmy as in kimmy or your initials?

on Marathon Man by Avonaco
Well I can't honestly say I've ever listened to a religious piece but this one sounds nice to my ears. I never realized that some Hip Hop and some Religious pieces have a similiar feeling. Nice backing for the vocal here. Do some more good stuff Tiberious.
Avonaco
Avonaco replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
I'm glad that it mixed well.It's kind of a mutt when it comes to the genre. But when something fits well together..it fits well together. And I appreciate that you think so.

on Visceral Epiphany by Avonaco
Wow those subsonics made my bones shake. Very very Cinematic. A mood setter for sure. A perfect film piece for the right segment. You actually wouldn't have to master it much. It's already pretty well balanced and mixed.

on Circuit Breaker by jfw
Yes there's Donald Fagen in there I agree. Brought back some nice memories. Nice piece jfw. Levels are a bit too low. I had to crank up the phones quite a bit. Modern Fusion for sure. Very listenable and quite nice. Nice drumwork. Actually all the solos are really nice. Loops? or yours? Good stuff.

P.S. Brought up the level? Small changes? Still like it. Very Fagenish and really good. I like the reverb on the main melody. Might try some slight reverb on piano and drums also. Very good piece jfw.

on Feel the bass (star struck edit) by Xtaticauk
Aw another great Xtaticauk track! Starts out strong Techno though then morphs into Trance. But personally I'd still call it Techno. Maybe it's Tech Trance? I'm gonna have to download and add to my Xtaticauk library. Always good stuff, always pounding.

on Unknown Elements by Cyryus08
Oh I wouldn't call this Jungle. Yes it has a jungle ambient background but not Jungle genre. It's actually a very nice ambient piece. Almost jazz since the tempo is little faster than many ambient pieces. I like the chorus. I enjoyed listening to this one. Send us more ambient. :)

Nice cover Lofthouse. Very musical. You've given it a definite lofthouse feel. Tapping my toe. I always liked this piece to start and you've given a nice slant.

lofthouse replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks so much for your comments!I would like to do more with song,as I think it is a real classic,and although I will never be able to do it better than New Order,I would like my interpretation of the song to come across stronger.I will be reworking it as soon as i get the time.Thanks for the positive feedback!It helps to hear i'm on the right track..

on I GAVE feat HOLLY by CalifKen
Naw vocal levels are fine and appropriate. I like this piece. A little funk, a little something else. The bass is somewhat subdued but seems fine in relation to the vocal. The end is a tad abrupt. I couldn't guess the genre on this one either cept I know I like it. Btw, you kept to one theme in this one. I like that. Makes your pieces more unified. This is a good one Ken.

Ethereal. Cinematic. Makes me want to try an ambient theme myself. Been awhile since I did one. Nice mood maker. Definite sci-fi feeling.

on Step by Step by Humzito
Hey Hum,
This isn't bad. It would hugely benefit by being compressed and mixed. The drum line needs like 100% more punch. The audio seems very subdued. Put a good compressor on this and emphasize the bass and overall brightness and it would be like 100% better. Fairly catchy as is though.
Humzito
Humzito replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks for the advice Koble! Now I just have to figure out how to implement it lol fairly new at this. I'll post a revised version once its complete and let you know. Thanks again!

on Now I Have Forgotten Instrumental by DustHill
Nice tune. Crys out for a vocal. I can hear it in my mind. I can always expect a pretty piece of music from Dusthill. You have a nice gift of creating things that can easily be collaborated on or have vocals added to or... etc. Always enjoyable.
