[Acoustic_Chill]

how the fuck

did you a) get guitar samples that good b) chop them up that well and then c) master the dynamics of the track so well. Meh. I'm jealous :)

LJCoffee responds:

Thanks - I'll take that as a compliment - but just one thing - when you say jealous do you mean like Glenn Close jealous? - should I worry that I might wake up to find my Edirol in a pot of boiling water ?!?

:)

Thanks!

[Calling Card]

Its nice but i'm baffled

I like a puzzle, but if i'm supposed to be finding some kind of message in it i'm lost. I've found that if i play with it in acid i can find a sound that sounds like you reversed samples into a track then reversed the track, or something. Meh.

LJCoffee responds:

If you have Acid Pro 5, I could always email an .acd file - looking at it instead of listening to it might make it more apparent. The first time around on this I actually did almost that exact thing (reversed track and samples) but that would have been way too obvious and probably pretty easy so I changed things up a little and used different methods. Thanks for the review!

[Warbly Gwenaniga (4min46secs)]

Creative, i like :)

Nice intro, those voices fuck me up, tho you're still not as subtle as mr bullman, its a good track, nice blend of styles and madness. Nice one! (damn 96k btw)

AdmiralConquistador responds:

I've subtlenly become more suddle. I believe my song Temporal Vortex is a great display of my suddlety. :)

[Boss fight for my next game]

Erm....

Again, nice rythm but the melody is just not quite right, but i hear where you're goin with it.Theres quite a lot of sound clashes. I'm not tryin to be rude, but find some chords and a piano tool to learn chords.

Also when pitch bending simple notes, to make them fit try plus or minus 3, or 5.

Glaiel-Gamer responds:

meh, I don't really like it much anyways.

[Organized Chaos]

Nice rythm, a big discordant tho.

It does loop nicely true, but the content is off. I get the feeling you got a sound you like and pitchbended it to fit. I've done it before, and whilst it makes a unique sound, its not always nice, as it is in this case. And its not quite so organized chaos, as you may think. Its not deserving of the title, check my Massif Amusement for slightly discordant/not track for organized chaos :)

Get a prog where you can use some soft synths and you'll do a lot better instead of using pre made samples. Again, nice rythm, bad melody in my opinion.

Glaiel-Gamer responds:

Garageband is what I have, but I didn't feel like writing any melodies when I made this.

[In Outer Space]

Nice track

Not keen on the top note of the wooo ooo oooo solo-y bit, i think it sounds a little detuned, but i like the rest of it. I cant hear a bass drum as cutting as i'd expect, but i think my speakers are finally starting to give up

*note to self - never let volume reach highest possible cos it knackers speakers*

Whirlguy responds:

it indeed was a little detuned, ill check some of your songs later:)

[Patchwork Sky]

Woah.

Why the hell did this band end? I know it could be a painful question, but this band is good, kinda like zero7 but with a bit more passion instead of etherealness. Great shit man, get it back together.

What instrument do you play?

liljim responds:

The band started out in the last year we were all at high school. We did many pub gigs during that time and then all left for different Universities in September of '96. We did do a few more gigs in '96 (before Christmas), but practising and gigging became a chore, given that I had to travel 300 miles just to make the gigs.

After those gigs, leading up to the summer of '97, I wrote a lot of new material, music wise, and the bass player (who was responsible for all of the lyrics for the band (bar one of the songs, which I don't have a good recording of)) had written a lot more lyrics. So, we got to practise a lot more over the summer of '97 (where we had all come back between semesters). We didn't, however (unless I'm just blotting it out of my mind) play any gigs during that time.

We then all went back to Uni in September of '97 and returned home in the summer of '98. We picked up where we'd left off in '97, having sent various ideas over e-mail to one another during that year and meeting up a couple of times to practise in holidays before summer. We did quite a few gigs and then on the back of that went into the studio to record the first three tracks I uploaded.

We also recorded a lot of tracks ourselves and at some point, may digitally remaster those tracks (some of them were recorded on really basic appliances, like an old Tascam four track).

Anyway, after those recordings, we all went back to University and in '99, Steph went to Australia to live for a year. Gets kind of difficult to rehearse, gig and record when the key band member is on the other side of the world. :)

[Haunted Rap]

Nice!

I was expectin lyrics, but its a cool track all the same.

Realmguys responds:

Thanks yo... knock yourself out.. I can't rap. :)

[Imperial March...but heavy]

jarrydn responds:

Waaaaaaah crazy frog. DESTROY!

Ahem.

Cheers for the review matey :)
