You're percussion use here really reminds me of Test Dept. Seriously - I'm even pulling out my "Terra Firma" lp to see just how close it is. I'd forgotten how much I liked some of their work.... Nice choice of instruments here - the iron bell in conjunction with the sampled waterphone really makes it eerie.

You've got a great voice, Mate - put your worries away. The vocals and guitar work really well together throughout this. There were moments I actually thought about EARLY Pink Floyd and some of the acoustic arrangements (this is meant as a compliment). There's something really compelling about how your voice chases the guitar's melody - especially since there's a sincerity in your voice. More coming? Please?

I went immediately to The Clash's "Sandinista" with the title ("Charlie Don't Surf") and was amazed at how much the guitar in this is so Clashesque! Joe Strummer would have loved this!!!! I'm guessing Mick Jones would to. I really love your sense of timing throughout this - you've got breaks in just the right places. I couldn't stop wiggling throughout. Thanks Mate!

Went fishing for loa and pulled up Damballa himself! Yeah man, ride that long snake! I love how you've fused the beginning with an ambient sensibility and then gave it all up to electrical spirit fire as expressed by the guitar. Faved.

Nice one, especially for a 1st track. I'm wondering about your input level with your kick track - the way it clicks make me think that the input level was too high and you've got some 'clipping' that should be resolved. Is the kick redlining on your end?

Funny thing this tune. When I first came here as a lurker it was one of the very first tracks I listened to, and the first I was really impressed by. Now in finding it again I'm not surprised it was yours.

This is brilliant. The cross generic approach is why. "Music is music" and the best of all traditions can and do dance merrily away together. Breakbeat? Really?

I dig how notes are going up and down simultaneously - the spiral goes in and out simultaneously. Nice use of panning throughout without drawing attention to it. Yup - definite chill one here.

2012? Make joyous noise and marvel at temporality! Just how permanent is this existence thing anyway?

10 Nov UPDATE: Man, that bass is even sweeter than I remember! Nice one!

Like fugu poisoning? I too was skeptical because of the initial beat, but you pull it off really well when the other sound layers come in. Fabulous transitions and REAL intensity. Nicely done H3Xit!

Fiery - How did the line go in Amadeus? "I absolve you from mediocrity!" Nothing mediocre about this track at all! Your sincerity and passion here are really obvious - and in my estimation puts it into the category of "real music." I've a feeling we'll be hearing more of this caliber from you! Nice job on purge and exorcism!

The title drew me in - I like Dada and Surrealism. What's most interesting is how on one hand this seems very minimalistic - but upon listening it's really too full to be minimal. Nice paradox. Very nice percussion lines.

I like how DJMiasmic put it above! I'd like to add that your choice in percussion in conjunction with the sirens really does put the listener on edge. Definite tension there.

The sonic "weirdness" (I use the term affectionately) towards the end really reminded me of later Coil work - specifically "Love's Secret Domain" and it's really effective. The hopeful sounds are in conjunction with the happy singing of machine insects or language elves. Strangely optimistic!

"Sounds like a bunch of mulletheads in a trailerhome." With this in your description, what's left to say? Nice one.

You've certainly got both the ear and the skills. "Music is Music," and the boundaries are fuzzy at best. Nice one mixing it even a little bit more.

Yes - psychoacoustic phenomena galore! Really interesting arrangement where I was often surprised by the direction it took next. The smooth transitions really add to this element of surprise.

My Man!
This is GREAT! I haven't thought of Frank Tovey (aka - Fad Gadget) for a while and his stuff sprang to mind. Not so much the same style, but certainly you're coming from the same spirit of approach. You found the Soul of that Keyboard with this one - and being a bit of a space-nut myself (you have no idea) I'm thrilled to see someone else that envisions something with BEAT! Yeah!

I like the transitions in this. Also how you're not afraid to use unusual sounds for the melody lines. The levels of sound really work, too. Excellent stuff!

The collaboration really works - I would have wondered if there were three of four people involved if I hadn't read it first. Maybe it's the synergy factor - just not really possible when going solo. Nice rhythmic noize, too.

I was really thrown by the percussion timing at first - BUT when your voice comes in everything changes. I find I actually really like that hesitation in the rhythm! Isn't there a Chinese tradition where an imperfection is deliberately added into art? I'd say this was an incredibly successful experiment.

This is SWEET! AnomalyJ's vocals weave so well with the percussion it gives me goosebumps! Nice composition, and equally excellent execution. You did this on Fruityloops? Wow.
