on Chill em by Diskonnect
I like your diversity of styles, every tune is completely different from the last one and this is no exception, i'm also getting perhaps a little Moby influence in this track.
It all slots together niceley, it's well mixed and it's as sweet as the jam sandwich i just ate so thanks for that.

on admiration of the nature by deciBel
I like the effects that you used in the back ground and that ethnic sounding flute thing gives another level of depth.
It may only be a short piece but it's a good one.

on We re all people people by bobbybooth
This to me sounds more like down tempo house music but it's very well put together. Like the key pads and the swirly synths that you've used.
It's helping me to really enjoy the bottle of bud that i just cracked open (in the hope it will relieve my writers block)
What programme are you using to make this with?
There's some great synth work in this track.

on DJ Triple C - Jazz Slidin and Groovin by DJtriplec1
The mix quality is a bit muddy but nothing that cant be sorted out with a bit of EQ.
Other than that i thought this track was pleasant to listen to. especially like the vocoder effects, gives it a kind of daft punk feel.

on Vibrotronics by dansjoy4
The riffs are really good and you have some great idea but i'm sure if you just dropped the master a couple of notches it would sound much better. I do like the sound selection though, it's very new school.
Glad i dropped by for a listen.

on Low Key Love by StaticNomad
Everything sounds on point to me and i do enjoy a jazz number from time to time so i'll just finish by saying....you guessed it......great track!
(see, i told you my reviews are shit)

" I'm actually a lot better at slagging things off "
I think what you need is the hip hop battle jam version of Looperman, where eveyone tries to slag off other people's tracks in the most imaginative ways. Maybe with collaborations, you try to fuck up other people's beats or do death metal growls over their pretty little ballroom waltz string chamber quartet tracks. Sounds like a place for nihilists. Maybe it could be called Haterman.com.
Hey, you do a decent job providing positive comments and you're one of few people here who regularly amuse me and show honesty and character and appear to speak their mind. The world is full of dull, uninteresting people with very little to say for themselves but I doubt you're one of them.
Yeah, the socially enforced niceness of the site does annoy me a little, as does the individual I told you about on that forum thread who will not accept any criticism of his tracks (including constructive stuff, which is what I always give). So, I won't comment any more on his unimpeachable tracks that sound just as he wants them to, which is pretty much what he's said to me. If I ever try to suggest that what I make is beyond criticism, punch me square in the face as that is ridiculously arrogant and absurd. Why even post tracks here with comments enabled if you won't stand for any criticism?
Anyway, I had fun doing this track and would like to make more jazz, not that this is at all a conventional jazz track. More jazzy things I guess is what I want to make.
Anyway, thanks for your thoughts and screw you for leaving that review.
on Juancho Libre - M RT N remix by M8TN
It's cleanly mixed and very original so yeah, kudos from me.
Well done.
FR
I don't know about genres at all, its compulsory to choose one but I feel im very ignorant in that area! :) Please advise me on what this (or any others I upload) should be classed as, I'll change it right away. I understand it upsets some people if this isn't done right.. :)
take care man
on Weapons Of Mastication by Evisma
You also break it down niceley with the strings and drums.
This was a nice track to wake up to.

on Circles Never Open by Mosaic
I enjoyed this piece of radio friendly music.
FR
Mate thank you for the kind words and review, as said previously, simple track but a right pain in the A to get sounding the way I wanted, but done now...Oh young man go get some soap and wash your mouth out, when done go to your room ok :))
Nope still will be doing trance while I am making tunes, but enjoying doing some other genre's, more so uploading something different then just trance... have a cinematic track waiting in the wings to come up next week called Myths Of March....Peace Friend...ok you can come out of your room now lol...Mosaic...
on Sacrificial Turd by AJE1000
The only drawback is it finished too quickly. That could have gone on for another five minutes and i still would probably want more.
excellent track.
FR
on Ancient Forest by Anubis
It's not that easy making a drum based track but you've pulled this one of splendidly. The vocals compliment it perfectly.
I could easily see this being used in a movie.
Great stuff Anubis, really great stuff.
FR
this time I sought the tribal style, the absence of melodies had to be rewarded with very percussion.
thanks for these positive words.
All the best my Friend.
on Hellish Intro by Cyberliam
It's pretty creepy but at the same time it's quite mellow.
It's making me think of zombies crawling out of graves in a graveyard.
Nice intro.
FR
on Push da button by TCAS
I like the synth that comes in around the half way point and from there on it just gets better and better.
Quality!
FR
Thanx but it's not my first track in Ableton.
All the tracks from 'Bert' are made with Ableton.
This one was made with Ableton and the controller Ableton Push.
It was my first track created with Ableton Push :)
Thanx,

on Hypnotic Larry Wiggles aka Mark Jeffries by larrywiggles1
I like the way you incorporated a little bit of acid and there's some clever skills going on in this track.
I think this is my favourite one of your i've heard so far.
FR
Thanks as always for giving us a listen and glad you like, there were a few bits in this that I messed up, but I still love this track too, thanks again.
Best wishes,
Mark/Larry!
on Mystical Forest by Aereas
The mix is of high quality and the melodies are superb. I dig that pad that you used & the part where it speeds up and turns a bit housy
Sheer brilliance.

on Peaks of love by Oxnitrogen
Introduced the main riff and the vocals perfectly.
I really like this tuuuuuune!!!!

on A Perfect Story Ft Miper And KnowKontrol by SeriouslyJoking
The lyrics and the singing are nice and it's a pretty good track but i was expecting something more upbeat.
You should alter the genre.
FR
on Feat Lisa-Bomb - Ethnic Swedish Party Power House by radioilluminati
Sounds pretty well mixed but as i say a can't comment on the vocal.
I would have liked to have heard a bit more of a tune going on as the whole thing consists of just drums and vocals.
Where's the music???
Still, i like what you've done with the drums and the percussion.
Keep it up,

on Sunrise at the Beach by DESTERO
I see you labled the tune as "weird" but i can tell you that it aint weird at all, it's bloody good.
There's a mixture of all kinds of things coming throught here.
The percussion is excellent and so is the guitar.
and i like the little vocal samples here and there, There is just enough of it to give the track an extra boost.
You done really well with this piece mate.
FR
I don´t think much about building up a new Track ,I find a loop and build the Track around, while i do this it develops a peculiar dynamics. What beginns as a Tranceloop could be ending as Dance or Chill Out Track,how ever I´m glad that you like Thanks for.

on Autumnal equinox by deciBel
Those trippy noises give it a kind of ghostly kind of vibe.
Different but good.
FR
as a self thaught I've learned all things by error & trials in music & this track was my first trials in which I was testing how those self designed haunting sounds may work in track ...FR I appreciate your kind feedback & please U
to feel free for criticism & be stringent while commenting for me if I may had the chance to know your valuable idea about any other trial of mine in future too ,and at the same time again I seriously appreciate your kind & friendly commenT about this trial . thnx & all the bests.___Behnam
on Peril - Nefarious - CLIP WIP by SUDDENSHIFTOFFICIAL
It's a good start but you could add so much more to it to make it better. For example there are no cymbals, hats or crashes used which are pretty imprtant in a dance piece.
Still, i like what you've done i just can't help feeling that it needs a few more layers to get it going.
FR
and this is just the WIP, I've started layering in some more samples now and I've just compressed the kicks and the bass, working on the transitions and added the subs so it's getting there :P
Thanks for the input! and cheers for listening
going to upload the finished track very soon.
on mini mix by smallpaul
Anyway, this sounds really great so far, I'm going to take my time with the review as i've got nine minutes of tunage to get through.
Second track has just started now so i'm getting an idea as to how your week off work has been going. It's very deep sounding, I try and do this style of house sometimes but it just always turns into techno.
Wow, it's gone piano house now which is great, like the way you added the vocal to it then picked up the pace with some nice acidic sounds and trumpets and stuff.
Third riff was definitely the best as far as im concerned.
That trumpet thing sounds really authentic. Did you make that or is it a loop?
Anyways nice listening to this.

on Session by Diskonnect
This is real slow and funky. Nice electronic lead with some great efx on it and a great beat.
Enjoyed this one a lot.
