I like this - the title combined with the sound brings images of strange circus performance pieces. I can see this as the soundtrack for several different themes. Nice one.
I really like the feel of this track, very nice mix! This has all the elements that I want to hear in an electronic track. Very nice ambient break in the middle, just a little chill out time before the song gets in motion again. Very nice work with this piece!
This track is super eerie! I've never heard anything quite like it! What you've done with the pella is nothing short of fantastic! Your title fits the nature of this track perfectly. Very inspiring piece!
Do not worry Spivkurl! This track is just for fun and will not be on the album. I have been meaning ot work on this for a while, kind of clear it up[ and add a few things to make it kind of move forward.
Nice progression to this track! I like the elements you used. The only thing I would recommend is to use more dynamics on the piano parts, it sounds like all the notes are at the same velocity. Otherwise cool track!
Very trippy track. I particularly like how you've challenged the Blues genre with this in very interesting ways. And ultimately, it is Blues by virtue of its emotional location.
Emotionals blues as hell, but do not forget that it has blues arpeggios running throuhout the piece.
The more I listen to the song the more I realize that it needs alot of work to become memorable. RIght now it is a good one and done, more like three and done.
I will work on this over the next three to six years and kind of refine its effect and put within it the details to actually make it what it could become.
Damn it that is trippy weird. You should submit this for video games or maybe to the history channel for their pieces about topics of this flavor. Interesting!
WOW. I mean like wtf man WOW. I had not really considered vocals as much of a thing with FUNKEN but now I dunno, you have changed my mind....very evil gothic horror man I have to say that this track put me in a total trance, same as some classical music and heavy medeival stuff can do! U ROCK dude
It's a bit IN YOUR FACE! lol that reverb is something else man!
I really like it.. but it's pretty intense also Rock da Face off indeed!
Great job keeping you levels in line, but some dynamics are really overshadowed in some aspects, but still not a complaint, just an observation Faved for the whole bridge/outro at 2.29 and on. I am not being sarcastic when I say that may be one of the most epic things I have ever heard.
It reminds me a lot of Danny Elfman.. why? I have NO idea lol.
Thanks Avidlife. mI really enjoy your commenst because you write quality music and have an eclectic range of taste.
I wrote that peice in 2004. My music at current, that is the past two months, is much more mainstream oriented. Trying to put some music together for release. I can some of my more esoteric pieces out later.
The outro is by far my favorite part as well...I really hate the too high wierd guitar in the beginning, but hey, what can you do.
The string part is quite good as well, but the outro is the class. You know it is good when my budddy Phil says, "Wtf is that". He only eats fried chicken and hamburgers.
2 minute on especially where the harmonics took hold.. and it became this... growing cloud. VERY COOL. The whole outro, .. was seriously one of the coolest things I have ever heard.
... i am noticing a bit of crackles and pops... and I wonder to myself if your dynamic range is being PUMPED to the maximum.. You aren't clipping, but... this is a bit busy in that respect. I would maybe consider just re-eqing this a LITTLE, so you can have more room for the entire frequency band to shine on this.. ...
or lol perhaps that was your intent.. it is kinda like digital fire.
what you have done with devodales accapella is freaking genius! Faved.
Further more.. DEATH DRUMS ON THIS!!!! lol I wonder if I have any timpani drums lying around... PRETTY PLEASE.. try some drums!?!? (or at least some people crying and screaming in the background) muhahahaha
In regard to the EQing. This is my main fault and one I dislike and at the same time embrace. I want to change the overdriveness of it, but mean the DevoDale accapella says, "Make you wanna listen" in such a desperate manner, I have to keep it.
It bothers me at moments, but some music is meant to bother as moments.
I will see how I feel in a couple months.
I love the ideas toward the end of your review. Some nice timpani, especially in the begining woulf help move this baby forward.
Screams are always a plus, but in this instance I feel mans own hell need not be tempered by hell of many.
However, the song does need a thourogh cleaning. Which I will try to get to this weekend.
If you like like this you should check out Danse Macabre which you have already heard by Saint Seans and the Totentaz by Liszt. Both dark and cool.
Quality track man, enjoyed that, you have got that underground sound, as minimal as it is theres a lot happening in there. Cheers,added to Favs. would have downloaded if the option was there.
This is one serious piece of music. Severely haunting in nature. A true wait in hell only to rescued by some eerie forgiving Angels in the end. I got extreme chills and goosebumps hearing this. Your use and tweaking of my accapella is nothing short of phenomenal. I had NO idea I could sound so... opera like. Perhaps adding one or two more 'textures' during the 1st 3 minutes to build up the already intense mood this song projects. This is the very 1st piece I've heard using this loop. Amazing. Please send me a copy of this......a must have for me!!! P.S. I am a DJ on Friday nights at Mixposure.com. I would luv to play this and other tunes of yours there. If you would be so kind as to sign up and upload a few tunes there I would be MOST appreciative!! www.mixposure.com Thanks for this wonderful piece!
Yeah, the piece needs a bit of work. Make the beginning a little less boring, and master so its not so crackly. But I am thing that may take awesome from the effect wo I will have to see about that. Need to check on the gong crash at the end as well.
I am mad sick at the moment, so I willnot be able yo send you the mp3 for a couple days. Just remind me it takes too long.

Very enjoyable track, my friend, in which you made great use of the piano loops. The production and composition are also superb.

Whoah. Very cinematic style, scared the crap out of me. As a piece it is extremely haunting. amazing acapella what you have done with it is insane!
The only problem ihear is, as others have mentioned, the crackling in the build up is quite intense. If you can clean it up it would be magnificent.

Really good transitioning. Reminds me a little of 80's rock and the creation of electronica. Good stuff.
