My productivity on my laptop whilst commuting to London has been really surprising - up on myspace now are three nearly finished tracks written in less than two weeks... but before anyone says anything - its all been done on headphones so the bass levels are def. gonna be wrong.

Past Linking Future - Downtempo, really really bassy at the moment - want to get a local vocalist on it.

Low Solar Orbiting - Kind of technoy breaky dubby if that makes any sense

Citadel - Plaid esque downtempo electronica, all about the breaky bit towards the end..



HAVE A LISTEN YOU SLAGS

Past Linking Future is really cool, some great sounds in there. Feeling the tripped out flute and phychedelic sounds. Drums sound weak though, try layering your drums up.

Low Solar Orbiting is pretty cool aswell, break works well with the sounds and bass. Like the little mad bass switches, they're dope. Again your breaks are not coming through very well through the bass.

Love the build up to Citadel very dark and mysterious. Maybe get some randon bass hits in there, more variation in drums aswell. Yeah, that breaky bit at the end is dope, those sounds r fuking cool mang. Thought bout using that as the main drop instead?

Cool stuff mang, keep at it.

Past Linking Futures really sweet, really nice mellow vibes, think the bass levels ok to me (but then I am listening to it on monitors). The phase sounds a bit overdone at the end, but I'm sure you'll sort this out when you get a chance to mix them on monitors.

Low Solar Orbiting's nice, like the tempo changes - like the whoop bass but the other one sounds a bit noisy and not that full. Bass switches are good though.

Liked Citadel, but I think some of the chords clash with the echoes of the last one, so you might want to automate that a bit better - got nice electro-ey touches on it which I quite like. Like that dischordant riff at 4.32, reminds me of the Prodigy, but in a totally different context. Not too sure if the arrangement quite gels, but the parts are good.

Await hearing the finished mixes.

nicely

Cheers for listening man - your comments are pretty much my thoughts when I listened on my monitors this morning - gonna get to work on them tomorrow.

Docwra - nice one, re. the drums, I need the kick drums to punch through a bit more, but the snares I deliberately chose to be pretty light. I am definitely gonna rearrange Citadel, although whether that end bit will be the main body I dinnae know.

Low Solar Orbiting's

Spaced out vocals (Billy Holliday?) and cool strings... "Ongyikos Versarnap" was tho one for me. I thought the beats were stronger on that tune too.
A bit Portishead.

Cheers man - that is a remix of a venetian snares tune - in that I took the same samples he did (billie holliday and elgar), did it quite a while ago.

Mr. Below! The cyme rmx was awesome.

big respect.

Eryka Badu is good for spaced out vocals... or Morcheeba.

Easy Luke,

Listening to the tunes on your myspace page now,

Creation -

That's a nice pad sound, a sample of violins and flute or something? (can hear the tail end of another instrument at the end of the note). Yeah this has real nice atmosphere to it, the bass is substantial (although the myspace encoding isn't doing it any favours!). Although full of wonderful atmosphere I found the tune left me wanting more from it, as it fell just short of the finishing line of my attention.

Take A Deep Breath -

Liking this from the start, has a kinda old school hardcore feeling to it (pads wise obviously not the drums). I find the main hook to this tune is a little to electro upbeat and ska(ish) for my liking. But that's just personal bias, it has a nice flow, good drum work and an interesting approach with lots going on in the tune.

Ongyikos Versarnap -

Liking this, good working of the vocal with the strings, bass and beat. yeah, like this one for sure! Feeling the break work on this for sure, could I a decent quality copy of this off you?

nice one pete, I'll put together a rar for you, check the Ca tsE yes tune as well (its a draft at the moment, but I think my best producing wise so far). Again creation is a draft (that is a flute at the end of that sample, it's beatmatched before it goes through all the delay effects!!), will be doing some development on this.

Cheers for listening!
