Certainly has that late 80's vibe happening - sans the whistle (which btw my 13 year old would be bummed - it's the whistle that makes any track good for her!) I was really listening to give you some constructive criticism, by am drawing a blank. All the right things are in this one, and the arrangement is really sweet. Cheers.
This certainly could work as a cinematic track, too! I really dig what happens when the percussion kicks in, and the vocals you use keep it grounded in the disturbing vibe. Really well done.
This one's very cool (ashe, ashe) if you catch my drift. Made me really think about the fusionary nature of the music from that part of the continent. Did you know the trumpet and other brass really enter into W. African music because of independence and exchange/economic aid from Cuba? Funny that, as most of the sensibilities of that brass came out of W. Africa to begin with. But where did those sensibilities originate? The region is the crossroads between everything south and the Mediterranean. The exchange of music has always been a major part of the underlying culture there.
The "Modern/Traditional" genre is really popular, and artists like Yousou N'dour, Baba Maal, Sekouba Bambino, and Salif Kieta do a lot of it (esp. Maal and Bambino) and are getting pretty well know in the West. The vocals in "Timbuktu to Bambino" really ground it in this genre as well (imho).
I wonder if you might push it a little more toward the "traditional" side somehow. Have you thought about trying some traditional strings (kora, molo, or godji) around the vocals? Might be outside what you're trying to do, but might be very cool, too. Just a thought.
I really like how you allow this to wax and wane - really good use of filling the space with sound and also allowing it to get sparse. The fx are a great interpretation of firework rockets, and the bell really works the same way a pad would - nice. Really like this one, keep it up!
Ho ho - psychoacoustic phenomena galore! Your use of panning and echoes really do a number on the brain-box - and in the context of music to dance to - well, what can be said? Kudos! Awesome!
I see what you mean about Industrial confusion. This one certainly fits the bill for the dance side of the genre. Very nice choices of sounds and a great mix, too. Love the depth of that bass!
A little old Test Dept. vibe happening here with your percussive choices. Nice how you've merged several styles of music and still kept an Industrial sensibility. Cheers.
Well, not being terribly younger than you are, it really comes out how we carry the influences of our experience. I love the digeridoo drone sound happening here (check out some of my work, and you'll see why)! Works so well with the other sounds you've got happening here. This would be great for closing credits, wouldn't it?
Those pulsating pads - to die in ecstasy for! In listening to Rave tracks, this is exactly what I had in mind. The drums certainly could have more presence, but that's a minor point in the overall impression of this piece. Three people are in my living room as I write this, and everyone is either tapping feet or bobbing heads. All validating what I already feel about this one. Very, very nice!
This does have a bit of that New Wave flavor - I think where it works best is how your vocals weave it all together. Love the effects you've processed your voice through. Very, very cool track!
The title is perfect with this one - so breezy and light it's easy to drift away while listening. Great choice with improvisation here, as the sax both carries the melody, and the spirit of the song. The spirit here wouldn't have full voice if it was a fixed melody. Very nice.

You ought to get a copy to the Toure's! Cheers.

I guess it's not very "mainstream"... and that's a good thing I hope.
