[-=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.

[There is Faith in Hope]

is it really grim up north:P

can't argue with that:) i like the hat line, would have liked to hear a little variation with the drums tho. good choice of sounds here, the guitar comes in well nice. good build up throughout the track. i hoe this does well in the comp, it deserves to.
;ped

pitbulljones responds:

how do ped'? As i write this it is actually really grim up north, it's pissing it down and it's grey and really shit. :(

well thats one against the hat and one for. the drums were done in FL and it is a 16 bar loop i did, i aint a massive fan of making drums, plus i'm lazy when it comes to em but they did the job i feel. all the sounds barring the guitar were from my vst synths, the opening one was the korg legacy cell, the bass was from Rhino as was the strings and the ambience was from crystal. plus theres two guitars playin on either channel, the very clear single note with delay and also a reversed chroused chord thats subtle but effective. I'm thrilled you enjoyed the track and thanks for the vote of confidence. i'll bob by soon and give you some reviews.

[Flashburn - Enigma]

blippetyflipdipnip

yeh, this is really not my kind of thing but i'm sure it will do very well in the contest because every1 else in the world seems to love trance:) is very good for what it is tho. all i can say to fault it is that the drums are too quiet for me, but then again my drums are always too loud so there u go.
;ped

[(\/) <Impossible> (\/)]

sounds familiar

i swear i've heard the rundown in the melody that comes in over the arp at the beginning... oh yeh, one of the d&b tunes that autoplays on the audioportal front page, is this a coincidence? was quite good overall, i think u could take it quite a bit further tho, it ends just as it starts to get going in my opinion.
keep em coming

[Diarrhea Of Death]

catnip

grow up u delinquants... and clean that cat squit up its putting me off my porridge.
awesomes stuff 5/5
;ped

cat-bastards responds:

Thanks for the 0 in Effort. At least we got one good score with that! The rest doesn't matter! >:(

[dj_padman - Berzerker]

warp me up

good stuff, another warp bod on NG. sounding slick, the synth at the start sounds well like squarepoooosher and one of the kits later on the same. gotta love it, nice acidy synth work.
game on for MAC:)
;ped

dj-padman1 responds:

Warp is where its at, for sure!
thanks for the squarepusher comparison...aww, shucks...
I really feel the urge to make an acid track like Aphex Twin from the druqks album..I dont know how the hell he gets those sounds! Some of yours sound exactly like it though, I'm jealous....

[Beyond Repair (3min 52sec)]

'you sure make me feel like lovin u...'

nice work:) for what it is, it is very good, unfortunately it just ain't my bag, don't like the beat sorry:/ the synth work the whole way through is awesome tho. would like to hear some variations with the bassline also.
sorry for being a c*@t
;ped

AdmiralConquistador responds:

You're no cunt, you're PedroMancuso!

Hehe, Glad you liked it, I agree changes in the bassline would have been nice, but whatever, it's more minimalist than anything, simple and sweet. Thanks for the review man!

-ac-

[Rucklo - I Switch It On]

erm...

...yeh, sounds awesome, can't fault that... but i'm gonna find summin:P The only thing that struck me was that it could do with a bit more melodic content - towards the end when it opens up it begs for like a little synth work or some distant trumpets or summin. if this is ur comp entry, we're all in trouble! LJC is still not back from vacation so i can't submit mine yet. dang. come home Larry!!!
keep it up,
;ped

Rucklo responds:

Hmm yeah, perhaps there should have been a synth-solo or some shit like that... or a WAAH WAAH guitar or something... hmmmm (starts thinking)

Thanx for the feedback man :D

[WC > Cocaine]

lol the MAC

mahhaha,
the gloves are off for MAC. great feel to this, flows well nice, some really nice percussion too. the production is super slick which is where my track falls down, it will be posted as soon as ljc gets back from holiday and i can ask his permission to use a sample set taken from his tune.
party on
;ped

StrangeEncounters responds:

lol, have fun with that.
