I'm shocked
To be complete honest I came here a bit closed minded, gathering it was going to be like the rest of the 'hip hop' crap on the portal.
Ok, so I'm not the biggest fan of hiphop, but this had some amazing qualities that really do shine through, such as the mainly orchesteral layout, and the use of the cello as a strong bass.
Good job.
Oh, wow, that really means a lot to me, seeing how its my personal quest to change the face of hiphop. I have been musically trained since 6 years old, so I try to incorporate all of my gifts. Thanks for listening!

Woahhhh
Yeah, this HAS got voted down pretty badly, even my 5 only got it up to a 2.5...
Could do with a little verb on that rhodes, and the playing was a little regular, a touch of shuffle wouldnt have gone a miss. Also there were a few tiny mischords.
Not sure about the impro at the end though, at some parts it just sounded like you were whacking the keys with your hands.
Anyway, keep it up, rhodes is an awesome instrument once you get it right.
Thanks for the 5 Khuskan!
I'm not nearly done with this, so your input will be put to good use.
RAAAVE!
I hope you don't mind me saying it was pretty cheesy, which was awesome in it's own way. It had a great early 90's techno feel. It's rare these days to hear a techno song in a major key.
The melody that came in shortly after the start sounded, i dunno, like some sort of kids TV show.
Nice mixing you got there, make more :D
The whole point was to make it happy, kinda makes you feel like a kid again, ya know?
-You no rateth my song? ; (
-Lol, jk. It would be nice if you rated my song though : )
-Thanks for the review! And yeah, it was kinda meant to be cheesy as well, lol!
-SuperDrummer146
Loveeeeeely
The start was awesome, although I feel you could add a slight fade in on the leading pad/bell thing, as it seemed to start very suddenly.
Also, this is too slow for drum and bass, this is more ambient. Actually I take that back, I just got to the dnb bit ;-)
Prehaps you should think of some faster basslines though, more notes in the pattern if you get what I mean. Good job with the filters in this section.
As far as mastering goes, it was great, the drums were clear, and went well with the synth. I feel it could do with a stronger kick drum though...
Well done :D
Stronger kick drum? Aw man, the kick was nearly distorting the compression job I did... :(
Trust me, the EQ is there.
Thanks for the review!
:o
Experimentalism for the win ALL THE WAY. This has an awesome ambience feel to it, sort of horror film feel. Only gripe i'd have is it is a little quiet, but thats not really a problem thanks to the invention of volume controls client end ;-)
Keep it up
Yeeh another review!
Thanks a lot man. By the way:
I really love 'Angels' at your audio.
:O
Ouch, this song got zero'd to hell and back. What you need in here is some really fast breakbeats. Push the tempo up to about 170bpm.
At the moment its a little more ambient than it is drum and bass. Those pads are sexy :D
I'll 5 this to help the zero situation ;-)
thx man i always have trouble putting my music into a genre cause my shits always all over the place
Holy. Shit.
I was expecting a lot, since you're *claiming* s to be somebody(s?) we all know, and everyone I know is awesome, but this goes far beyond what I expected...
First off... REAL VOCALS. REAL SINGING. Which ever one of you did it did an awesome job, the recording quality is perfect, mastered well, and the singing quality itself is definatly worthy of the rest of the track. There were a few stutters here and there, but the whole song was like one giant tounge twister so I can't blame you.
The mastering... was perfect. It was proffesional, thats all I can say, you can tell that it took a lot of time to get through this, which verifies why you took so long getting it out (seriously, when was it you said the track would be out in a week in the lounge? a month back?)
Those drums were great, very varied and had a lovely 'mixed' feel to them, I felt they were a bit thin when the second bassline came in, but thats probably just me, I like my tracks thick with cream on top.
As for the style, immense. This track has rekindled my love for Daft Punk and Beck, and almost seemed like what you would get if they had children together.
Anyway, I'm getting tired now of typing now, so that's a download and a 5 from me, and I definatly want to hear some more of this... like.. tommorow.

Also, review my stuff, even if you have already under your real account... have you? EH?
Ack, a long one :-P
To be honest, you dont seem to have given me much to respond to, other than a wholehearted thanks for the review.
Theres a bit of delay with new tracks. Lack of inspiration is to blame methinks...
:-P.
Poor rucklo :P
Well, you got my download, and after all that's all that's important, right?
Yeah, your overall downloads are a little suffering, but you have a very healthy ammount of reviews, which are worth their weight in gold.
I love your scratching, The style you used in this track makes it truely unique, and theres some awesome use of balance. I expected it to become a big, trancy/techno style track, but instead it stayed calm, with that awesome steady drum riff and that weird bassy pad behind it. I truely love this one. Great work.
Holy crap, pity worked (finally) :D
Yea reviews are allways better than dl´s, kinda odd that ive suffered so much since ive kept active on the forum at least :/
Oh well, glad ya enjoyed the track though! Thanx alot for dropping a few lines mate!
/Rucklo
And review I shall.
It gets faster.. and faster... That's awesome...
Although it did seem very noise and fluttered, I think that was one of the prominant features in the track, it was so damned interesting to listen too, the ways you manipulated that familiar melody. I do feel it could have benifited from a stronger bass line, at the moment it's a little drowned by that seashore sound, and towards the end, the piano starts to overpower the melody.
Definatly deserving of the 5 I just gave it.
wow, thanks a lot Khuskan! im very happy to know you enjoyed it!
yea, the bass couldve been stronger but i never realized it until now. oh well. thanks for the review!
Yay.
I'm voting straight 10's because i'm unimaginative, and I have MSN open to moan at you about various flaws in the track etc. Not that there are any.
Also, Review #40.
I award your review an 8.
