Thank u for the kind words kitty-cat but I surely dont think I am better than anyone up in here; Im just different is all, I approach digital recording with an old school head, I dont really care about new technologies, go ahead THROW out that old tower, Im the dude lurking in yer DUSTBINS....I will scavenge ANY old school CRAP that you might find at a garage sale for 5 pounds (CDN) and I will NEVER record ANY music on ANY OTHER OPERATING SYSTEM other than Windows 98...anything else is TAPES man, word up

on Euphoric Theme by Charlie_Walker

The hard work in instrument choice paid off. Everything works just right, that lead synth just wails

on Parasomnia by RayKoefoed

Creepy track, you have the atmospherics down well but I would throw some more effects on that percussion, it's a bit flat

on rerum natura by rei4real

Wow it's been a while but you are definitely one of the only users I remember on here. Your guitar work is super tight, the recording is even nice and clear. There's a definite size and layering to this track that reminds me of something Buckethead or Steve Vai might do. This track could be more like a song though, I wish it had some more progression with different basslines, maybe even a key change or two.

rei4real replied Unknown

ah, that's a good review ... ;-)
well, you're right, some different progression would be good here and there, but to be honest ... I'm afraid I'm sometimes too lazy for that ... and one of my deepest fears in making music is the fear of overproducing ... I hear many tracks around which contains of materials for 2 or 3 really good songs, but in the end they sound like a preview of an album, if you know what I mean ...
but again: you're right!!! I should be a little more couraged in trying different progressions ... ;-)
thx a lot for your opinion!!!

peace, rei

A great ride, nice atmospherics and a unique beat

on Last Words by ProphetProductions (yeshintae Remix) by yeshintae

I would fill in the backing track a little more, maybe add some more reverb to those cellos

yeshintae replied Unknown

for sure bro, thanks for the advice.

really appreciate the review

Peace from LA

on (Caught) In The Loop - The Scathen Dischord by NoisicRecords

That's catchy, the absolutely destroyed guitar tone works really well, but it's just one idea. You should keep working on this, build an actual riff on top of that and some verse/chorus structure.

on Clowned by Tiltedbeats

This track just flows and flows. That piano sample settles in perfectly and the track just spaces out like something from Aesop Rock or Cannibal Ox. That stoned beat under the light textures is gold.

Tiltedbeats replied Unknown

hey mate, great review, loved the description. makes one happy. thanks a heap :D

on To Heaven by SoundsOfEscape

Works really well and "to heaven" is the perfect name for this track

on Hey Black Boy Beat by Sic Cuz Da Guvna by Keston

Has a nice, oldschool MC feel. I like the delivery

Keston replied Unknown

Here is something I slap together on you tube about it. Thanks for the feed back I did it old school to give that period when hip hop was teaching. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RloLUvLFUW8that.

on The Curl by Acrylic

Really nice ambience. I really hear Aphex Twin on this one. I'm gonna have to check out your other tracks.

on SaVe by NathanRoth

I like how you get creative with the guitar sounds, pitch shifting and looping them. It almost sounds like something Throbbing Gristle might have done.

on Scanner by Cybertooth

This track has a really interesting beat. The piano line and high synth line are pretty dissonant together throughout the middle

Cybertooth replied Unknown

its supposed to be a little dissonant, just to keep it interesting

Really energetic track with some nice vocal sampling, nice work

Sick track, really nice beat drop

CheshireCat 24th Mar 2010 09:44 - 15 years ago

on Dirty Beats by TraXnCtrl

It's a sweet track if you're going for that 80s vibe. The percussion sounds like it's missing something in the midrange in order to really hit home. That snare sample sounds kinda flimsy, something more snappy might do the trick.

TraXnCtrl replied Unknown

thank you for reviewing and your suggestions

Great vocals! Nice strats in your image btw.

on Lips by Forr4

This kinda reminds me of early Metallica, good job with this one.

on I don't care (ft. calendargirl) by rei4real

That guitar solo is diiiiirty. I think it would have cool though if you kept soloing but in the upper frets and just had the song fade out on you breaking it down along with the sax.

on G30 Chilled Mix by SerialChiller

Very chill, but yeah the drums sound a little weak.

SerialChiller replied Unknown

yeh, i agree, I was never very happy with the drums here. They were supposed to be very light, shuffly , jazzy type drums but could do with some more work

Haha, lame but appropriately so. I love the title.

Has a nice swagger to it, but feels a little hollow at some points...
