on Vicious Circle (Vocal dub) by centricomen
Dude not sure why u would have so many listens and no reviews (and 8 downloads???). Anyway I thought the track was well put together and from around 2 minutes on I thought it flowed really nice. The vox and fx seemed to sit a bit further back in the mix from that point and seemed to fit better. Good job.

Thanks for the review man. It also surprises me how i haven't even received at least two reviews(lol. Must be bad luck).

Stay creative

on The Examined Life - Jumping into the Waters mix by n0mad23
Hi n0. I'm still getting that Ozric Tentacles vibe that we discuused before but this track also really reminds of Hawkwind's Ghost Dance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYpWgV6QJq4. I think it's the rythym. Certainly a lot going on but defo has your distinct flavour.

I haven't thought about Hawkwind in ages! Thanks for the link, and I can really see why this one reminds you of that! Personally I think this quest for originality is rather silly, as there are only so many interesting rhythms and melodies possible (mathematically). The key then is doing something that works for you as the artist. If any one else digs it, it's frosting on the cake. Thanks for the listen!

on Strobes by bleinweb124
Rolla is right - this track is'nt even close to being in time.

on pop eye by nonsensesystem
I liked ur track although I would'nt really say it is Dub. It does have some Dub elements to it but I would say it's more electronica. If you would like it to receive some increased dubification send me the files and i'll do it for ya. Good work.

on Random Battle 7 by ALXSIX
Hi A6. The 1st minute or so was too much for my brain and ears to handle and I was'nt that keen on it. However from about 1min on the track changed and I really liked it. Not sure about the long drawn out ending? But the middle was good progressive dance music. Nice one!

Yeah the beginning is a bit hard but I like how it goes... Thanks for the feedback!

on Call Me When You Get To Heaven by 4thEden
eightiestastic! anyone of a certain age interested in electronic music will be very nostalgic listening to this. i'd love to hear it with vox (but only if they were as good as the track). Good job M.

on Diskoteka Feat Paul and Louise by TheMediciSoundsystem
I thought the music was great. Did'nt think that the vox sat well with the track though. Def would have preferred to hear it as an instrumental piece. Good job tho!

on Breeze by CmsProductions
Not bad - needs a bit of filling out. Has a nice chilled vibe but could be made a bit more exciting. Have a listen to the tracks in the dub logbook in the forum. That'll get you inspired. Personally I would be dubbing it out a bit more. More feedback, reverb, echoes etc and possibly some vox of some kind. Check out my dub track with Dungbeatl. He's hosting it on his page. It's called Blackbeatl Dub. I think it may give you some pointers.

on Outback Dream Time by Steevo
Perfect title as the track is very dreamy and obviously has the aboriginal sounds. Very nice track to chill out to. Good job.

on Pink Garden by famillericoree
Hey, I liked your track. Nice Eastern Flava and nicely chilled. Not too complicated and sometimes that's the way that works best. Good job.

on impromptu one by dave422x
Of the 3 impromptu pieces I thought this one was by far the best. Very chilled reminded me of Steve Hillage and some of his ambient work with The Orb and System 7. Good job.

Hey I like this. Very calming but super trippy. I can imagine peeps would like this when they have been ingesting illicit substances.

on Smoothly Seeping by PaperDucketts
Fairly chilled but a bit short. I think u could add a few more layers and possibly some vox. Definitely moving in the right direction though.

on Illusion by After_The_End
Nice track Paul. Very much shades of Joshua Tree era U2 again with hints of Joy Division or early New Order coming through. I'm not sure though which was the chorus? I did'nt dislike any of it but it's really crying out for a more powerfull obvious chorus. Catchy all the same.
After_The_End
After_The_End replied Unknown
tks mate, the chorus is the opening section, i sometimes think dropping the chorus at the start can help people warm 2 a song quicker..

on I Need Excitement Rerecorded by santiagosky
This sounded familiar, so I guess I must have listened to it when you had it up before. It's a catchy tune and for the most part your voice sounds good too. I would say that the track would benefit from better production and agree with Nick that the levels need a bit of a tweak. It could be a great commercial house track.

on techno-session2 by ellusive1
I think you have the platform to make a really good track. I did'nt like the stop/start effect when it kept cutting out to the hats and some of the layers you added were a bit hardcore sounding for my liking. Not bad.
ellusive1
ellusive1 replied Unknown
yea, after listening to it a few times, i agree it needs some work. but hey, thanks for the feedback, bro. i appreciate it.

on home before dark by AngelaSheik
Well it would be hard not to see the Chems influence. I will 2nd paul on the voice compliment. I think some of the cymbals and higher end stuff needs a bit of a tidy up (i was getting some hissyness). If you ever wanna do somethin together let me know.

on Morning Apology by AngelaSheik
AS luvin that voice again! No the bass line does'nt bore. It's good - keeps the mood of the track flowing. I did'nt like the little section from 1.50 - 2.20 (seemed a bit messy). Overall though. I liked it. Could definitely be expanded!
AngelaSheik
AngelaSheik replied Unknown
Thanks for the specific feedback, blackryan. That's what I need to keep going. I will take a look at that section and do some cleanup. Still working on the expanded version.

on The pickup by jahknow
I will be honest I found the vox very distracting. I would prefer to hear the track without it as the music sounded great.

jahknow replied Unknown
I could send the track to you sans vox if you'd like Ryan.

on Remains by jethro2010
I like it - I can defo hear that Aphex influence again. In a Selected Ambient Works 2 sorta style (or church music gone wrong as my mum calls it). Way too short tho.

on The Summit by ULTRAPHONICS
Recently i find DnB a bit stale. However I keep listening when people post tracks, hoping that there will be something fresh. Your track is bang on!!! Nice vibe, production and loved the little bits of variation. Well done.

Thanks blackryan, hoping to put a vocal on it and release this one, cheers..
