[Q-Bix: Dream land]

oh god i hate me

piano is nice in this, however. like i said below trance isn't my bag and it seems this bassline has been done maybe eight billion times b4. hehe, gonna stop reviewing ur trance, i'm being unkind because of my personal tastes. k, production is pretty good on this tho, the beat is maybe a tiny bit quiet - there u go, i'm being constructive:)
;ped

lol thanx anyway man

[Q-Bix: Windy mist]

wagawagawaga

in case u hadn't realised by now, trance is not my bag at all, hehe. some nice synth work, bass synth in the bridge sounds great, and the drums in that section i like too. apart from the 'daga daga daga daga' hits that are proper trancey so i'm not qualified to comment on them:)

lol

[Q-Bix: Lightning strike]

damn that arp!!!

hehe,
arpy synths like that nearly always piss me off:P the track does do some nice things tho, like the melodies and harmonies, just not the arpinessnessness. nice mood aswell, i really like the drums apart from the cymbals for some reason.

thanx

[Cloud 9.1b]

spot on

hehe, just realised, i think i'm giving all ur tunes exactly the same ratings. so, let me examine why...

originality - i think a 10 is almost unreachable, simply because i will always recognise elements of other music in tunes, is not a bad thing.
diversity - hmm, dunno why i give 8, maybe i'm being a bit unfair. maybe it's because ur tunes flow so well that they don't seem to be massively diverse although the mixture of styles within a piece should maybe be considered more by me.
clarity - 10 every time because i am jellyous about how well everything sits in ur mix. this is 1 aspect of my music i have a constant battle with. i think i need to take a course in mastering or read a book or summin.
effort - i dunno how long it takes u to make these gems but i'm guessing u don't have to try too hard. and also maybe it will encourage u to try harder:)
overall - straight 10's? coz i love all the stuff i've heard so far by u, gonna take a brake now and listen to some more another day, i'm hungry.

eat, eat my friend..grow large with food!
Hey, thanks for another encouraging review mate, I'm flattered you think my mixing is up to scratch, and believe me, its a constant battle for me too!

Well, you've given me some very good 'food for thought' here..
geddit??!!

later man :)

[Better off electric]

somebody stop me lol

hehe, this is the nuts. this made me dance like a c*@t, in the same way that loads of tracks off plaid's double figure does, which this wouldn't be out of place on. yeh, definately plaid styleeee, who are one of my faves so big compliment.
keep it up (all night long)
;ped

[High None]

joy to the world

good stuff. the beats come in really nice where they do, and disipate just as quickly, v.skatty. are some really magic moments here
;ped

[dj_padman - Orchen]

trippy chillax

production is super sweet as i've come to expect from u. really nice mood to this. drums are spot on, just enuf variations and tweakage to keep it rolling along. the vox sound awesome. love the off key synth that comes in towards the end, grimy, yet fluffy. ooh, nice glitch work there, omg, another fade out, lol, my pet hate:) still gets a 5 tho
;ped

dj-padman1 responds:

yo man, thanks for another review! don't get too exhausted over there..you should be cranking out some more of your brand of musical goodness!
I appreciate it heaps though mate, thanks for the review. Yarrgh :) the fadeout..I'm working on that part of my production...I really am!

[Robotonic]

squelchtastic

dark and demented overtones here, i like. can't get enuff of the acidic bass synth, haven't used one for ages, i think u've inspired me tho:) erm, what don't i like about it?... hmm maybe just the fadeout at the end.
;ped

dj-padman1 responds:

Squelchiness is the breakers food of choice. I need you to break out the acid, you can program some really Aphexy riffs, I remember!
yeah, I promise I'll try and cut back on the fadeouts, its me being lazy...! ;P

[-=LJC=- She fed me the lotus]

lets have some LJ acid you c%@ts

one word - slick as fook.
i think everythings already been said that needs to be. erm, yeh i wanna give u some constructive crit but alas, i can think of anything... too short? dunno. oh and also, as it opens out at about 1:40, my lightbulb blew, i'm now sitting in the dark. thanks a lot.

;ped

p.s. u should have put this up for the MAC, u could have had a groovy sig:/

LJCoffee responds:

Ped, sorry about that light bulb.

You're one of the handful of people who I would definitely take advice and criticism from - there are many people here that might have something to say but who really don't know what the hell they're talking about or who just don't "get it".

You on the other hand as well as a few choice others are talented enough to tell me or anyone else here what's good and what's complete shite.

Thanks mate!

MY CAPS LOCK KEY WORKS PERFECTLY

[Valiant X]

eat my pixels

good alrounder this, pretty well mixed. hehe, the synths are pretty much spot on for computer game music but i haven't heard the original (is there an original?), however, with reason at ur disposal u could have made more of this i feel. a little automation on the synths, filter sweeps and stuff, will go a long way and will make this track more ur own. without being a patronising cock check out my rendition of bubbleman i did a couple of years ago on reason to see what i mean:)
;ped

tedJohnston responds:

Thanks for the review. This is an original melody that I composed. I'm sure there were a lot of extra things I could've put in there, but since this was an original video game tune, I wanted to keep the song sounding as close to something you would actually hear playing behind you in a game. I'll keep your suggestions in mind if I ever remix the tune in the future.
