Yes i have commented on this track already but since it popped up in the featured track box i thought i'd press play and comment on it again.
For some reason i keep repeating this phrase to myself "I've got to get the hang of that bloody Ableton live"
It will happen one day, oh yes it will!
Anyway, i still think this is great and the explosion at the end just seals the deal.
Actually, on that note i have a mate who's just started up a business that sells landmines that look like prayer matts. He says prophets have been going through the roof.

I saw this pop up in the featured section and thought i'd write another comment. I was actually playing this in the car the other day and i couldn't remember who it was. So although i might be a forgetfull c**t it just goes to show that your track blends in niceley with all the other "professional" (lucky b4$tards) tracks that i have on my MP3.
I must do some work with Mr Leachim sometime. He's very good isn't he?
Happy Sunday!
FR

Well what can i say? I'll tell you what i can say............
Fantastic work! I like the down tempo jazzy vibe to the music and your singing voice is superb (So good in fact i had to dive straight in and see if you'd uploaded any accapellas i could play with. Drat says i!)
I'm listening on rubbish speakers at present and i can tell this tune is worth listening to again on a propper sound system so i'm going to do it the justice it deserves and return when the rest of the house is awake. (Or i might just wake 'em all up with this)
Superb piece of music!
FR

This would be a really nice track if it wasn't for that distortion on it. i dunno if you wanted it to sound like that but personally i would have preferred it if you'd just dropped the gain down a little and made it smooth.
Musically it's a really good arrangement. Once you've taken care of the noise this will be spot on.
FR

Everything in this track is wicked. Reminds me of a the stuff i was going chicken oriental to before age caught up with me.
I would suggest swapping the kick drum for a more punchy sounding one but that's the only thing i would alter. Everthing else is 'avin it!
FR

I like you Richie. You have that natural ability to take a sound or a vocal and pull a whole track out of it with style and finesse.
Everything is on point, well played and i see this being on target for reviews and downloads a plenty.
Hats off to you!
FR

This is bloody brilliant mate. Nice to see someone taking a different approach to the rap genre. The vocals remind me a little of massive attack and the musics a bit left fieldy (two bands i rate very highly)
So you see, It's worth going off on a random one sometimes. It gets people to check out your stuff.
What a track for my first of the day.
FR

This is some pretty mental stuff going here dude. It's sort of contemporary drum and bass. You might want to put a patent on that before someone robs it.
It's nice to hear someone break the mould with something that works for a change.
Niceley done.
FR

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!
FR

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 infectious. I've always liked funk but can't seem to get my sh*t together when i try to make it. I liked the way you alternate between the male and female vox.
It flows niceley in to the breakdown which switches the vibe before funking back in again and getting your feet tapping.
That's why i hate it anyway. (joke)

Good song writing skills mate. Being a techy i don't often pay attention to words but in this case your concept grabbed me.
I think we're all pretty sick of working for minimum wage and been slung in a cell when we disagree with the f*c*kers.
Anyway, I liked the into but then when the guitar started it gave it another new level of depth.
This is a fine effort mate.
FR

I like this as far as the music and the drummings concerned but it could do with a little work in the eq section.
The drums and the guitar are both hanging around in the mid to low area and drown each other out.
If you add a few more high frequencies to the guitar and maybe drop the lows a little it would sound heaps better.
There's good potential here.
FR

Well i can see why this has got loads of comments already. It's a bit old school and then it isn't. It keeps strutting from one thing to another. i love the choice of percussion and the bass is heavy.
What is that metal sheened sample saying by the way?
Does it really matter? No! the track rocks!
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......
