Intro is just amazing (speechless) and "Old is cool" 1:15 is like a gentle slow motion smack in the face, then a dizzying change in percussion thats just perfection. Good build up. You are giving a schoolin! to these youngsters on this era of dance music. I love how the scream is more maniacal than most dance music screams. Nice ring mod (sounds like a Korg Kaos Pad). Then the drums get heavy and we fade things out and make a mix at 3:30. I would love to work with the first part and add some ideas. The sign of a great song for me that stimulates my own creativity. The second part is a good house tune in it's own right. The vocals are sweet mix reminds me of Ratty. Synths are sweet on this one. At this point I have to fav it. Ok now on to sound 3 . Synth bass is funky but I think I would like to hear it louder in the mix. The popping sounds are a bit too much I think. Nice fill. With the vocals, at the end of her phrase you need to counterpoint it with a synth that mimics the melody. Judas Priest is famous for this with there guitars mimic-ing rob Halfords vox in this way. The third song has great potential to be such a dark and foreboding dance tune if you work at the arrangement on it. All in all I loved what you did here and my hat's of to you my good man for so far this is the best of my listening this evening.

I thought I might give an obscure link .

enjoy.
again nice tune

Awesome ! There was a movement for about a year that incorporated a latino sound in dance music in about 1982 and 83, songs like A.E.I.O.U.and later songs like Come go with me, Fascinated, Li'l Louis French Kiss. which led to remix troupes like the latin rascals in the mid late eighties. Great memories and nice work.

Ok Austin you have a good voice in the soft sounding department, but can you belt it out for the chorus. The song lacks a significant chorus that will blow away the listener. If (as my spidey sense tells me) you have that kind of voice you can make this song into a memorable pop tune.
lets see what happens.

"In this closed and treacherous forest you need to run insanely"

I truly felt that with this piece. Nice work. Perfect for a movie, or just crapping your pants while jogging in the forest with your I-pod.

8 bit has never been so evil...

Mellow sounding tune. It has potential you just need to expand on the melody you set down. The extras, the cool synth effects are awesome on this one. I hear aceed like tones slowly building to the climax , I hear some really good synth sounds. The climax is very interesting and it becomes very acid like this is a good one..keep at this one with some cool pads and you will have an ultimate winner.

Awesome intro. Channelling Heaven 17 and the Norm at the same time. Like you are advancing the sound of Sheffield to modern times. The Pad is brilliant at 1:00 and I love the bass in this one. Vocals at 1:35 are scary effective. This is a solid track man. Suncopation at 2:40 is a nice touch. When you sing or speak your phrases I would suggest you slap echo the last word. I like the way this tune plays out. The vocals remind me a bit of green velvet.

Fav'd for sure

Really stunning how you have progressed since you joined this community. What I love about this particular tune is the concise tight mix and the fact you have mastered arranging sounds in a very interesting way (to my ears at least). I am so happy to hear you become one of the elite composers on this site. congrats to your talent!

This is just a fun listening tune for the summer. Nice work. Great talent you have lined up for this one. Catchy hook. Nice vocals. I like the reverse cymbals (Static Nomad most likely won't) You need a nice solo (g-tar or synth for this one. If you send me the stems I might just be able to work on one for you ehh? Nice work mate.
Steve

Nice Rhodes like piano intro with some uplifting Chords, but very interesting beat. In My experience When people add that much echo and chorus to there vocals they are afraid of showcasing there voice. They are afraid of being noticed as being off-key. I think you have a good voice but need to practice this tune and re-record it without so much effects and we will be able to hear the true spirit of this tune. Also back the vox just a smidge down in the mix. This is a nice tune with potential, I would like to hear this with your strong confident voice in the mix in the future.
Peace Steve

Still Chewing this one, like a star-burst watermelon flavoured candy in my mouth 1:38 on is my favourite part. But 1:56 breaks my jaw. 2:42 grinds my jaw to pulp with that clean sounding bass-line. Nice background synth to counterpoint the bass-line. The it sounds retro-60]s organ like with all the glissando's. good work on this one Evan
Steve

Ahh my friend, you have added Trance sensibilities to Drum and bass rawish sounds. good mix. I agree with Val d's assessment of the vox. A cool pan would do wonders. You can get lost in this song (in a good way) good work mucho props from this corner of the web
Steve

cool intro and interesting electro tune. Old school in some ways modern in others. I hear Pet shop boys, I hear TSOSheffield. Great job.

Love the R& B , I would love to hear the vox without the effects. I think that would be effective in the mix.

Ahh when two of my favourite composers get to work together it's like looking at the sun.... Intro is awesome and builds upon the tension of what's going to come. 1:30 gives us a slew foot drum beat with a nice piano riff intermixing with T-weeds sublime g-tar. Bass is simple but effective. I think to make this truly work you need a more movable bass-line. And I would bring the guitar more forwards in the mix. The piano should be more in the background. This is a good song, just needs a deft touch in the mixing department. 4:30 gives us a hint of a possible cool synth solo but chickens out.
I hate to critique ... but This has such potential to be a potent song but it feels to me that it is stumbled or blocked by something. Missing a flow or chemistry in both your awesome talents. I will listen again tomorrow with a clearer(less tired working a lot) mind and maybe give some more thoughts to this one. As I really appreciate the work you both do. And respect you both as amazing musicians.
Steve

Nice use of Midi, interesting albeit older analogue drum kit usage, but it works for this tune. I like the strings as well. I think my only critique would be a better defined bass line and more movable. But good work and nice expansive use of MIDI.

Bass (your expertise) is what makes this beat work.

'That's a nice rhyme, whats the BPM I could see a huge blastin beat with this one.

very creative version indeed. ;-)

I agree with Behnam's synopsis, but it has potential to be something bigger, I can hear it, it just needs some tweaking. Maybe some live synths. I like the delayed vocals. It needs some more varied percussion, and maybe slow the tempo down just a squeak. Maybe a guitar solo. I would have to think about this one my friend.

You have a great sense of the dissonant. The percussion reminds me a bit of Bear Mcreary's work on Battlestar Galactica. compelling cinematic exploration. I thoroughly enjoyed this.

Yeah this is deep underground house. Green Velvet like I think. Very creative minimal and enjoyable . Great work way out there and I love that in this work.

I don't care that people might feel that the guitar work is simple. Nor that the vocals are not polished. It is an expression of minimalistic sound and emotional singing that even though does not resonate in our English thinking minds (not all of you mind that) It touches all of us as musicians at what ever level we are at as an expression. and there is something too this that is compelling. It's kinda like when I listen to Midnight Oil's Bed's are Burning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejorQVy3m8E&html5=1
I know Peter Garrett is not the greatest singer by any stretch and parts are off key..but the way he delivers the emotional impact in a ..dare I say simple chord structure of a song..but it compels me to turn up the volume every time. The message, the emotion of the song just compels you to listen. Or Neil Young (great songwriter..not a great singer (unless harmony)) but still just compeling to listen too...Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Chrissy Hynde, Sioxsie Sioux.. I could go on. IMHO
