i mean this as constructive advice, in the kindest way possible friend. i've been listening to quite a few of your tracs, here or there, and structurally your compositions r really quite good and the sounds have very pleasant moments. however, i think you might want to experiment with expressing more emotion with your sounds. experiment with foreign as well as familiar sound production processes which might yield a more unique identity; while remaining within the confines of the musical style which u choose to work.

Thank you Mr Redruth, now that's what I call constructive criticism! I do agree with branching off into unknown territory to add depth to my sound/producing skills, but I'm not sure if I understand part about emotion.

I usually don't like acid music, but there's something about the first track that I really like. I especially like that cheesy stab/horn with the reverb.

Hm, I kinda wish this was longer, but since it's a work in progress I expect we'll hear a finished version one day.

I'm glad you liked it, twas a little idea I plan on finishing and expanding.

I finished up another little idea last night. I though I'd just post it in here instead of making another thread.

i'll be interested to hear how u choose to mix this ascii thingy. some really pleasant sound, energy here, but maybe just a bit more dust and worn-out edges on the sounds; some of them r maybe a bit too glossy?

I was actually having a hard time getting the grit of the acid line to fit with the pad, maybe the pad is to clean sounding?

i think the acid and the pad r fit; it's that swooping, high pitchbent synth; the one that gives that trac the unique quality, but i think it is also a bit to far out in front and a bit awkwardly perfect sounding. i'm just scrutinizing your trac friend, don't mind me. i really like it, i like alot of your tracs, but i think u should take more time to details maybe; just as a general observation and also i think your sound would benefit from being dragged through the muck just slightly; a few more scraps and scratches, intentional 'defects' etc, to provide even more signs of life and personality

timco half acid: like the beat, not too keen on the pad - seems a bit dry, lacking in dynamics perhaps, and could do with more variation on the pattern. liked the acid.

oxford snare: liked it, interesting.

ascii: best of the bunch for me, but the acid line seems to go out of sync in places.

All comments are appreciated, thank you all for giving your time and listening. here is another sample of some tasty funky lushness
