on War (The State of the Union) by Thethanx
Wow thanx, very interesting track here man. Never a dull moment IMO, well constructed. The bass is fine in my opinion as well, could be a lil less squelch I think though. Just a tad brother, just a tad.
Great use of vox saples, the percussion really keeps it moving! Synthwork is on point, and the reggae sub synth really rolls the track along.
Great track, as mentioned, only ish i have is the bass personally. But maybe thats just me lol. As a matte of fact, screw it, just keep it, its great as is. Haha
EDIT:
Nah I think I was trippin Thanx, its fine.
it does? How so?

Thanx Scythe, It's funny that you're review of my track sounds so much like my review of yours... good criticism though, once you mention it I can see hear it myself. I think I still have the synth saved in Argon, once I replace my headphones maybe I'll go back and alter it... Thanks again.

on Still Ablaze by Ablaze7
Yeah man this is sick. The composition is very well done. It really moves melodically. I feel the perc could use a bit more mixing, but otherwise this is no doubt a great intro track. The breakdown at the end is well done. Enjoyed it brother, keep that fire going!
hope you recover timely.
Peace

on At the Eleventh Hour by yeshintae
Haha dude Butcha is so sick. Clean as hell track bro, those lil piano touches really add that flavor, and I hear that panning dog haha. Did you drop those or Minor?
Sick with it Yesh, so sick with it.

on Under the light by Gaffattack
Slick sample work Gaff. The guitar def fits it to a T. the lil vox touches are a nice touch. I agree though, extend it and then drop a few mixups, semitonal sample breakdowns maybe?
EDIT: Haha , I cursed you Gaff :P
Na its how I describe taking a sample and making a rhythmic breakdown with it, and within that breakdown you change its pitch semitonally(mpc status)
Usually, it will speed up the sample or slow it down but the idea is to cut it off so it wont interefere with the track.
Listen to Severe, that DEMO I got out? It has decent examples of what I mean.
Peace Gaff.

on In da hood by Junkey

on wintermute - down (demo) by hardwareexorcist
Yeah this is sick. The vox can def be put up, needs some more spotlight bro.
The vibe is good, and I agree, the panning is fresh.
Needs a bit better breakdown, like a complete crescendo and then just DROP like you did, extend it a bit too maybe? it seemed a bit rushed. 4 more bars would do wonders.
However the second breakdown perfect.
also, perhaps end with the vox saying "Break me DOWN" (Down being the only thing heard in the end
Just suggestions. I really dig this.
Great work

thanks for the review. i really appreciate your suggestions. i always like to hear thoughts for other artists, there may always be a genius idea somewhere out there, right? i'll definitely try out your ideas and see where they go. glad you like the song, hopefully i'll have the finished done soon.

on HARD (style meets core) by roel13
Dude this nice and grimy, the snares are kind of odd breaking into the loud party synths..to tripleted(is that a word?) to me, but then it gets sick. I dig the cuts in the synth, and the bell type synth work is clean and makes it interesting.
This really moves, but the tripleted(Im sticking with it) snares are just off to me. I feel like if I was dancing theyd kind of weird me out.
Ending was too quick, fade it out a bit longer maybe? solo the synth? just suggestions.
Great work man. I dig it.
roel13
roel13 replied Unknown
ye i know what u mean with the ending could, add another synth loop and fade it all the way out, see where that takes me. and about the snares ill look into it i think the first snare is ok, but the second one bursting into the synth could maybe change cause u would expect to get some phat bass after that snare, but u get a synth melody instead. i understand the criticism tyvm for that this stuff helps people get better.

on Never Again by Spivkurl
Wow this is really interesting. The Melodies all play well with eachother, mesh nicely. Very fun to listen to. I would have dug a breakdown, like a hardcore one. Just speed up the percussions, and that little high pitched synth? switch it to a louder saw type, keep the melody, Boom
I just wanted to hear that so bad not sure why haha.
The rhythm is indeed very unusual, but works out really well.
Still! great track, I really enjoyed listening to it.
By the way, apologies on your failed attempt at quitting the smoke..hopefully you can pull through eventually.
Best Wishes

Spivkurl replied Unknown
I'm glad you could find this one interesting, I think it turned out pretty good. The breakdown is a good idea, I just don't think I'll be going back to work on this one again. I'm glad you liked the rhythms on this one! Thanks for the review friend!

I'm trying to quit again today... we'll see how it goes. Thanks for the support!

on Makes You Wonder DnB by EzIcarus
I dig this, nice a laidback in a way at first. Then it gets interesting :)
I really dig where it went, and that little flute touch is a major thing, really floats along with the pounding pulse. The samples are really good touches.
Nice track, I enjoyed it. The finish was a bit off to me is really all.
EzIcarus
EzIcarus replied Unknown
Thank You BrokenScythe fantastic feedback and much appreciated, I will review the end and see what can be done, its a little short and there is plenty of room for manoeuvre from the intro. A remastered version will appear in a few weeks, please come back to have a listen.

on EvilLurks by EzIcarus
Now I see what you mean, putting emphasis on a particular instrument in certain parts. I actually do that once in Severe, but I suppose I put too much. I feel you now man, thankyou once again.
Now for this track, it is very well executed. The vox came in and fits PERFECT with what you've made. It's almost minimalistic at times, and yet it moves like it's not. The string touches were nice as well.
Great track, I enjoyed listening to it.
EzIcarus
EzIcarus replied Unknown
Thank You BrokenScythe, I'm working with a very talented octopus armed drummer at the moment to overhaul this track with a few new beats. Check back in a couple of weeks, I would really appreciate your feedback on the remastered track.

I'll go have a listen to Severe.

on I Go Dub Chant (Unmastered) by DawnAngel
One question, do you guys produce your own stuff?
Ok two questions, who is MindsInTheSky? What are your names? because I'm feeling this, you guys have a lot of feeling and soul, and I'm just eating it up.
A grip of potential, and I mean a GRIP. I really feel this track.
I cant listen to youre other two right now, but expect me to see whatsup.
for christ sake, KEEP GRINDING
You guys can really change up things in my eyes.

on Requiem in memoriam DD op 3 by JvR
The composition in this is outstanding. The music really has heart and soul in it. The movement is so moody, it bleeds emotion.
Very great work.

on Flying by SkullMasterMusic
I dig this! really mellowed out, but still upbeat. Nice work.
The transcribing keeps the melody mixed up, and the synth breakdown has flavor.
Good one.

This is really original, and its interesting as hell. It static, but it moves just enough to keep me nodding my head. Original, and for that I already like it that much more.
Good job.

on Pain Gets Worse by Boxaman
What the eff Boxa! Keep murdering these samples lol. Really fresh stuff man, you never fail to impress it would seem. The perc goes perfect with the track. Im guessing you didnt make the bassline? its goes with song TOO well haha.
Nice on brother, keep on grinding.
Boxaman
Boxaman replied Unknown
Thanks! Yeah, I left the bass from the other song in the hook part, but played all the rest myself. When I sample a song that I REALLY like, I'm always picky and have to get everything just right so I don't mess it up. This is one of those. Haha

on ARMED by RUDEBOY305
Its original man, and its damn well produced. The second "rise up" sfx should bring in the beat harder to me, but thats me. This is sick, inspiring work brother. Keep grinding.

Youre a natural when it comes to mixing samples with self made work. Nice vibe on this one. Mellow and smooth. Those light synth touches I look forward to more bro, you have a lot of talent.

Nice one
