Another bloody good effort here Wongki. in fact i've never heard anything you've done that doesn't sound great.
There's an almost oriental kind of feeling to this at times which is a nice touch.
Who's Logan P then? Another member? I must check him out sometime.
Thumbs up homie!
FR

This really does sound like a pro effort now. It was good anyway but now it's really good.
You should get some test pressings made up and mail this out to a few pro DJ's. i reckon the likes of Rampling, Morales and Tenaglia would drop this tune to name but a few.
Mr Mahloo did a great job with the mastering, What was it? Pro tools?
Anyway, this is the first "no download" tune i've heard all year that's actually worth nicking so there's an accolade in it's self ha ha!

Well you said in the review you gave me that you're pretty new to this so i'll kick off by saying you're off to a good start. You've clearly got a good understanding of filtered sounds, pitch shifters and making subtle changes to keep the track interesting.
I like the way you haven't over saturated it with sounds and the acid box lick has clearly had a lot of time and attention to detail spent on it. i don't normally find that many positive points to kick off a review with so you should be proud of yourself there.
Now, I don't like to just a$$ kiss with my reviews so what i would suggest you could do to improve this is concentrate on getting the stuff that's going on in the background up another level. What i mean is the drum section seems to rely on just a kick and a hat. I reckon a nice filtered breakbreak over the top of what you've done would fill it out niceley and give it that extra bit of "bite" that it deserves.
Oh and i'd definitely say this is a "techno" track as opposed to electro.
Nice work, keep it up and you'll get where you want to be.
FR

vocally this is very good (not that i understand a word of it) the music that goes with it is good as well and it has the potential to be a great track.
The thing that lets it down for me is the placement of the sounds. The vocal is so prominent that it almost completely drowns out the music at times. If you do a bit of balancing and equalizing then that would get the quality of the track to shine through.
It's in there, It just needs digging out.
FR

You've got some good ideas, but for me personally the track could use a few more layers to bring it to life. Apart from the kick drum there's nothing going on in the bass area so that would be a good place to start.
Maybe a few more percussion sounds would help as well.
It's a good start but there's room for improvement.
FR

This is a nice chilled out piece of music. You've layed the vocals niceley over the top and blended it all together really well.
Personally i think changing the genre to "chill out" would be a good idea as spoken word kind of gives the impression that it's going to be a musicless bit of poetry or something.
Just a thought.
Anyway, niceley done.
FR

It's quite mad checking out older stuff sometimes. Great melodies and synth work in this tune but it's a little crowded round the low ends. I bet it wouldn't be if you made it again now though. Your newer stuff is crystal clear.
Not knocking this tune though. Love that "man with no name" style synth and the whole vibe of it just says "turn me up"
Get in there!

I'm haven't listened to this for a while so thought it was about time i did.
I've not seen anyone likened to annie lennox, robert miles and groove armada on the same page before. Personally groove armada sounds most appropriate to me.
You should offer this up for a remix Shan. That would get the forums buzzing. Just an idea.
Anyway, i thought i remembered this being great and it is.
FR

This is a pretty angry piece of music mate. It kind of growls and snarls at you like a rabbid rotweiler.
Distorted basses to tear your speakers apart!
I would have liked to have heard a bit more round the drum/percussion area but that's just my taste. I guess the idea was to reflect your bad experience and it comes through in this grinding track.
FR

Well you haven't got rusty in your time off then. This is the best hip hop tune i've listened to for ages!
It's stragight in there with no messing about and flows seemlessly from start to finish.
Impressive track.
FR

Doesn't sound like you need any help on the arrangement to me. Patrica always sounds good but you've made her sound even better.
Old school vibes all the way!
A pleasure to listen to.
FR

This is NICE and twisted. I'm sitting right in front of my bass bins and i've just smoked a fat one so that bass is going right through me. I can't understand why i'm only the second downloader really. Dig the pitch shifted pump up the jam sample with the time stretch and, well all of it really.
This is an excellent tune!!!
FR

Well this is a pleasant suprise. You remind me a little of Kate Bush the way you reach those high notes. Excellent song writing skills as well. I particularly liked the part where you introduced that fat sounding synth.
Great work
Now, the cheeky part.....i don't suppose you'd be game for having this remixed at all would you?
I'd love to have a crack at it. (don't ask, don't get and all that)
Anyway, Whatever you decide.....bravo!! Encore!! etc etc......

I like this one even more. In some ways your style reminds me of marty friedman and that's totally meant as a compliment.
The drum work is excellent with lots of variation and the faith no more style keyboard sound was a nice touch as well.
This one would have been a download had the option been there.
Hot stuff man!
FR

Dude! You've got finger skills, ear skills and idea skills.
That pretty much covers everything as far as i'm concerned.
It's a small accolade but Allen V picked you as his tune of the day https://www.looperman.com/forum/thread/177378?page=4
Well it got me over here so clearly it works.
Anyway, Now i've heard one, More is inevitable!
Well done.
FR

You put a new track up and i missed it?
This is quality. That guitar sounds almost synth like at times. Really well produced, Loads of soul behind this. It's like chocolate melting in your mouth.
i can't pick fault with this track at all.
Get in there!!

I can't help but find it slightly irritating when i hear a quality track that seems to have slipped through the net.
This is ace! I love the metalic percussion, It's a bit like the terminator on a chill pill or something.
Production wise everything sounds well balanced with a subtle use of efx and it has a unique flavour which i really dig.
Zero downloads!!! We'll soon see about that!!
Great work.
FR

I always like a fellow musician who's not afraid to venture into different genres and show a bit of diversity.
This sounds really old school mate, Like the stuff from the 90's and i dig this funky groove.
It's great when a vocal just works isn't it. Doesn't happen very often.
Don't suppose you'd be up for me doing a remix of this would ya?
FR

What? Only one comment??? I dunno what's going on round here but it seems like there's a definite lack of motivation in the air.
I really enjoyed this and as i was listening i was franticly going throug vocal loops i've got to see if anything would fit but alas, nothing in the right key.
Anyway, great work as usual my friend.
Bravo!

Well first of all i'm diggin the new avatar. I've been getting into the dub sound just off late so i'm feeling this. Excellent placement of sounds, The atmosphere has that kind of 8 track feel to it & in some ways i wish i hadn't played it, because i now know i've got a long journey ahead to get good at this genre.
Great work.

I decided to stop for another one as i enjoyed the last so much.
There's good ideas going on in this tune, It reminds me a little of Leftfield in some respects. But, (I hate doing "buts" but we all need 'em sometimes) it's a bit "crowded" sounding, especially round the low frequencies. Ah! Now that windy thing has stopped i can hear whats going on. There's your culprit! If you take some of the low end out of that then problem solved really.
The rest of it is really good so a one minute tweak would make all the difference in this case.
FR

You've nailed it with this one mate. The variety of sounds you've use creates a spooky atmosphere that would be great as a backdrop for a ghost flick or possibly a spooky video game.
This has got my day off to a good start.
FR

Alright mush.
Saw you pop up in the featured track section so i thought i'd drop by.
Well i have to say this track should have bagged more than just 4 (including this one) measly reviews.
It reminds me a little of Milo with regards to the synth lick (except not as boring lol). Nice touch with the vocder and the percussion.
A failed collab in this case is a good thing.
fr

Everybody throw your hands in the air!!! Excellent deep trance track Koukotsu. There's a dark edgyness to this which always tickles my senses. In short, It kicks ##### and it's my fav tune of the day.
