Usually just lands me into some kinda trouble with tha ladies during IMs. And normally not my fault either (shrugs).

I like the slow way it rolls from low to medium on this. Then breaks into that high melody. You know that scene in most drama's where you get that shot of the person looking out the window of their room when it's raining (and sometimes at night where's it's pitch black behind them)? The camera catches their expression (either dismal or dreamy) and the water running and gathering it's way down the glass? That's what I'm seein right now. There are also bits of it now that kinda remind me of those 'running-towards-eachother-and-embrace' type of love reunions they use during the good moments (if there's romance involved). This guy should compose a score for something. Later on!

oddly familiar. What was it... Think, think!? You didn't do a song about shoes did you? Or was that TheRealNiel aka SpacestationWagon? It's really trippy because it's like I can remember sitting here 'x' amount of months ago listening to the same thing. Dude, it's like I'm livin in both times, but the master/slave thing is goin on with there here/then. So it's like I'm listening to it in surround while watching myself type with like a little screen behind my eyes (and to one corner) seeing the memory. It's very De ja vu man. Isn't the penummy-nummy-peanut butter the thing in the ears that gives us balance? Later on mate!

Wire can be a live saver in backwater joints like these. Nothing's worse than a drunken good ole boy with an empty beer bottle. He'll typically does the primate thing and tries turing it into a tool (or weapon) and in frustration ends up hurling it up at the stage.

I'm absolutely lovin the machine gun soundin riff that's on the percs (?). The Guitar on this kinda reminds me of the Stones and I think that's due to the vocals. With them being like a mix between Iggy Pop, The Ramones, and The Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Either that or my speakers have finally gone coo coo. Great mix mate. Later on!

I love the concept of this. The beats on this are great. Musically, this is a pretty tight joint, but vocally, I'm thinkin ya might needta do a few more practice sessions before ya drop the final version of this, coz there were parts where you soundin like you were off (or varying volume levels, like too soft or a little louder than the beats) and others where ya were soundin strained and outta breathe.
Course, giving the rate at which you were spittin I know how that's kind of a tricky obstacle to tackle. I had somethin similar happen when I laid the vox for the Soma Sonic rmx I did. It kicks all of our butts, I guess. Anyways, I aint tryin to diss you dawg, just tryin to help you improve yer A-game is all. I know this'll be a bad @$$ joint once ya get those vocals nailed down tight. Later on!

But I just got done listenin to Green Street and the Piano's you used on both sound almost the same. And the laughs on this are kind of annoying. Though I'm thinkin some of the other voc sams ya used on this are pretty nice. It's just that first one that needs to be tweeked or done away with.

Now the drums might be very minimum on here I think ya did a nice job with 'em where ya had 'em. So to sum this up one- Change up or drop the Piano's ya used so that this doesn't sound like a clone of the other song. And do something with those laughs (I'm thinkin just get rid of 'em). I haveta say the ending baby laugh was cool (and kinda sweet). Later on mate!

I'm diggin this one alot right now. And I'm thinkin that it has some pretty solid elements in it. All ya gotta do now is go back and work on polishing the levels coz this sounds like it wasn't mastered. Stuff's nearly clippin all over the place and other stuff is conflicting for the primary source of focus (like right now it's like- Drums 0, Bass 0, Synths 0. try to have it play like- Drums 1, Bass 0, Synths -1 or something similar to that depending on what you want to hold center-stage). Everything sounds leveled out which kinda gives it a flat, single speaker sorta sound.

Beyond that you've got a pretty promising piece here. Thanks for sharing mate. Later on!

The Serona line was pretty cool. I'm lovin the melody of this, but the vox are a little too... What to call it...???... Lovey Dovey? Eh, it's weak, but I'll use that. Now, if I had a GF this'd be great coz I could punch it up and... Total make out time, oh yeah! Haha, sorry. That little break in the middle with just the Guitar was brilliant. As for the other stuff, it seemed to play fine for me (shrugs). Off for now. Lates mate!

Down round my parts. What with all of those retirees and all. Absolutely lovely vox mate. The live insts are very solid too. And don't fret or feel bad about the drums. I know alotta folks that do the same thing. In fact, some of 'em even perform with their Mac laptop as their drummer. Besides, in some ways it's better- Less gear to tote around and the play back volume is adjustable (reg kits can be super loud). Anyways, I'm at the end of the song and dug the way ya had that strummy finish. Later on!

To a lock as the pepe is to the puddy, haha. What makes the guy so lame is that he's actually being serious. And ends with 'Can ya dig it'... Hahaha, umm, maybe I needta stop sayin that on my track desc's.

I love the concept and think that it's great to be able to come up with a track that either is or is from comedy. I did a Bloodhound Gang spoof on my song Bedroom Faces on much of the same premise. Though I decided later to drop the silly voc sams.

Killer arrangment mate. Later on!

On little blue capsules. Anyways, the beat is very out there and different. A nice change from the main. The rest does a nice job of adding to 'em, but I'm thinkin that ya might wanna go back and remaster their levels (sound like their a bit too high). Unless you were wanting them to compete with the beat's levels (then disregard). I'm just use to the melody being a little lower on a track like this. Cool composition though. Later on!

Schmokes mack. This is great so far. I love hearing stuff like this. I might haveta do a vocal mix of this. Thanks alot for sharing (and I'm shocked that no1 else reviewed this, shakes head). Later on man!

With that one synth leads sequence ya used (the second one). You've got a very interesting style on this one mate. It stands on it's own and is very cool. It's nice when someone's track reminds me of something else, but it's even better when it doesn't. Serving to expand the atmosphere of the music world!

I'm also lovin the plucked strings ya used on this and the synth sequence that comes right after they diminish. Massive kudos bud. Adios!

Reminded me of a birthday card my Grandma sent me this year. Six boats tied to their moor stakes. Really nice, and the title is really fitting to the music.

Since it's been playing I've been taken to a dock in late spring (end of April) in the early afternoon. Looking out over the water with the sun to my back, the sky smeared with clouds covering a third of the darker part of the sky, with a few ships here and there in the U-shaped bay. The smell of sea air, faded tar, and food fill the nostrils. As handfuls of people, sprinkled here and there walk about (some are families, others are couple, others are small groups of friends), all with their own destinations. Right in front and a little to the right there is a medium sized fishing boat that's being cleaned off and tied down, as a father & son (with friend) crew tries to go home for the day. Thanks for the awesome vision mate. Will def sav/fav. Later on!

That's one rusty Merri-go-round they've got there. The intro to this was chalk full of suspense. I was originally thinkin of Zombie flicks like Night of the Living Dead and then Resident Evil, the the jungle vocal effects on this started reminding me of those outbreak type movies and such. Then when the chanting started I remembered this one Zombie flick I saw ages ago about the scary world of Hoo-Doo, evil witch doctors, and all that. Can't remember it's name to save my life (nooo, don't bury me, I'm still alive).

The guitars on this are sorta like the changes in heart rate mixed with the emotions felt on a nervous (system) level. Thanks man, now I can't turn off the lights (shudders in chair). Later on!

I think alot of other people tend to throw their hybrid, unclassified stuff in either- Wierd or Fusion. Or in other cases they just pick one of the two it sounds more like and throw it there (like I've done on a few of my tracks too, coz I also like to blend different styles).

As for this track, lemme hit replay so I can give it the full monty it deserves...

At the beginning, I love the basic retro synth leads that ya used. Which have kind of a Reggaeton/Tropical type of vibe to 'em. The higher bass toned synths ya used remind me of Kraftwerk in a way. This song's kinda like if Oceana had their own genre of music. Def gonna fav/sav this one. Thanks for sharing mate. Later on!

Lovin the way you got the Snares (?) soundin like that in the beginning. And the open-closing hat (?) on em was tight too. I love the second set of sting-like leads you used. The Piano's cool too and kinda reminds me of a Train travelling over the open plains country somewhere. This is a great composition, though ya might wanna adjust some of your levels (toward the higher frequencies) because they sound like they're on the verge of clipping. Write as I finished that the percs kicked in. This is a treat because it's like a hybrid, House-Trance track. Kudos!

Pyramid/Rhombus scenes and the Stock markets. F***ing hell, you just don't know how pissed off I get when I think about all of those rat bastaads who got over on all of us in the Housing Rating scheme fiasco. I watched this one special about it and from what I gather, all of those Rating agencies were able to get away with Fraud. Meanwhile, my nation (along with others) spiral into the decay of financial decay. The tumult of the turmoil so intense that it forced one of our cooler electronics department stores to shut down (Circuit City). Unemployment has reached another peak and as people continue to look for work or worry about getting the Axe or not if they are employed... What of those guilty parties who made it big when the Money Pig was fat? A vast majority are elsewhere enjoying their riches. How does the saying go again- 'The rich get richer while the poor get poorer?'... And there's another one I like- 'If I only had a gun and the perfect alibi'... Sorry for the rant. (I blame the vox). Later on!

Already bobbin, bangin, what have you. The intro to this blew me away, point blank. It was awesome and in relation to the song's title/vocal sample- I dunno if you've ever had the pleasure of being on a really huge wave, but I have and lemme tell you. It was like being on a Body board trying to ride one and not being able to catch it right. Having the wave take you up into the crest and slam you down as it breaks. F***in intense man!

The rest of this feels like it's from the vantage point of the other guy who actually caught the wave. And they're flitting back and forth between the area near the tube and the arc right in front of that. Zig-zagging up and down in a kind of shimmying fashion. And the best part of being there is being able to reach back and cup your hand in the water. Gawd, I miss those day man. Too busy to go and even if I wasn't the Gulf's surf stinks (great for Skim boarder's though, slumps shoulders sadly).
As for the vox, again, that was Bobby Duvall? Didn't sound like him. Eh (shrugs), must've been from one of those 60's beach flicks, huh? Wow, I just caught a visual and I'm thinkin they need to bring back that style of Bikini, know what I mean? Anyways, I'm off. Later on!

Grabbed my attention so I hadta listen. Quick question- what happened with the College? Don't gotta answer though. I was just curious is all.

And in that kind of situation, I think that I'd be devastated too. So very apt name, mate. I love the grindy bass transition you've got in this coz it sounds super angry/frustrated. The drums on this are reminding me of somethin I heard on the Brain Bashers album I got. Dance to the House, I think (not 100 on that though). The usage of flighty synth on this is cool and it's tempo is very frenzied. Thanks for sharing. Lates mate!

The first thing I immediately started doing when this track started was like beatbox-bum a secondary bassline. So maybe if you ever redid this you could kinda copy what I did on the Lightswitch songs and add an extra bass channel or 2.

Or not, this track seems to stand on it's own very well. And it's light layers would make it perfect for mash-up remix purposes. In fact, I dunno why, but this reminds me of a Paul Van Dyk track on his album Seven Ways. Maybe you could do something with that. I've already remixed him so I figure I should skip it.

Okay, nuff suggestions, the pad buildup in the third minute is outstanding. Kinda had me holding my beathe in wait for it to kick in fully. The following drop down of pads into the reintroduction of the Leads was also great. Kinda like the two of them are fighting for the limelight in this one. Thanks for sharing mate. Looking forward to more. Later on!

Of the remix, for the remix. All other mixes must stand aside for the following procession. Slightly modified version of my saying- " A comment, on the comments, about the third comment, I say 'Ditto'". Loosely associated and inspired by the Ditto line in the movie Blazing Saddles.

Anyways, is this a remix? This sounds so different from the original that I can't really be to sure. I think I recognize the drums and crazy synths. Okay, nevermind, it is. For a second there I was flippin out man. You definately did this song justice. You took it outta the sky from high atmos and brought it down to earth, near the observatory. PJB rawkin out with this awesome mix. Thanks for sharing. Later on!

About Voodoo, but I do know where you can find some Doo-doo. On UltraBase's collab with DolaWhite on UB's track, Ultra Doo Doo mix. Sorry, that was cheesy and crappy (pun optional), but it is a pretty cool & amusing track ya might dig.

As for this one, I'm surprized that ya didn't use any out-there vocal samples that you do so well and cool. I dunno why that occured to me, probably because the lead Guitar licks on this are in some ways like one of your other, older tracks on here (Tenn Hut I'm thinkin, but not 100 percent on that... Or was it the one where ya used a sample of Marlon Brando's, hmm, I dunno).

Starting over, the drum intro to this is totally Gonzo man. Flippin crazy and I loved it. Ok, I stand infected, err, I mean corrected, ya did use those Monkey (?) calls on this. Which takes me to tha jungle. Oooh, and I gotta massively thank you now, because I just remembered a movie I saw on VHS that I needta get on DVD (or just try to sample directly from the tape) this perfect tribal sample, yes! The stormy effects ya added also really add to the illusion of being in a jungle, during monsoon season. Lates!

Aqcuiring targets in 5... Decent intro. The Jet always serves as a perfect attention grabber. Did you have any particular template of inspiration for this. It kinda reminds me of something though what it is I can't say (shrugs). Maybe it's the phasing in-out of the pads (?) or the Guitary like synths ya used. Maybe it's early Cirrus that I'm thinkin of. I dunno, but this is a decent mix. Later on!

Someone either went for a run or they're really, really cold or... No... Mustn't... Say... It...

SAX

Playin, man, it's great! Very mellow and paired well with the Clarinet (?) that seems to be crying out to the other. While the Sax acts like a parent kissing away the tears. The Piano keys remind me of running up and down hills. With the drums... Umm, they're cool, but don't remind me anything to tie into the picture above. Maybe the breakdown near the end? Like Jack & Jill, stumbling down a hill? Yeah, there we go. Rawk on!
