Please check out my new track 'Under The Lithium Mill' and post your comments here!
Hi everyone
This is a recent track ive been working on as apart of my ambient electronic name Bunjie... Ketz asked me to try my ambient with drum n bass... I took him up on it! Sounds sort of monolake-ish, and i like it. Cheers ketz!
This piece is far from done, I need more drum edits, samples and pads... but I was hoping to get a general reaction on structure and sounds. I live near no one who can pat me on the back/criticize with this sort of music, anything helps!
More of my ambient/electronics can be found at www.myspace.com/benjaminholmes - listen to 'similar feelings' and 'clock won't strike tonight'.
Cheers everyone. Hope it's not too boring for you...

hi mate , yeah like this , but the snare is far too weak and tinny , u need to get a fat snare / clap , and maybe u`ve compressed it too much , overall the structure is good , needs more to the track thou , kinda old skool sounding , nice !!!!!!!!
hi mate! man u know atmospheric ambient / movie style vibes and DnB are like a match made in heaven! (for me anyways!)
yeah i like the subtle intro, nice variety of sounds/fx
2:13 bass is cool man, like that kinda comes out of nowhere
so i know u gotta work dru fills pads etc, so all i can suggest in terms of structure etc would be to try and get a bit more intensity built up earlier on, also i think you could even think about taking the drop in a different direction, get more energy and a faster bass, may be worth an experiment
hi warlok here. i like the overal sound of the intro. it sounds vere dark and misterious to start and the bit where it goes a quiet then u bring in the hats and that spacey guitar pad gives it a nice start and got me quite intrested. i think that your kick and snare needs to have a more beefed break underneath to punch through and give it some low mid , mid distinction.lower the sub at around 200hz on your kick if you beef it up so as not to conflict with your bass. it sounds quite repetative but as you said its just a demo and when you put some edits and exciters in it sounds like it could be a good tune. good luck!
hi again. i meant to say turn your kick down below 100hz sorry! if you have a strong snare beheind your original then it sounds good if you beef it up at 200hz. got it the wrong way round. lol!
Yeah, that snare is much too thin and tinny. I do like the atmospherics tho. It could and probably should be turned into a dubstep tune with a fat snare. Excellent bass stabs and I love that droney high-pitched synth too. It almost sounds Wormhole-like in places. This is a very unique sounding tune, so the normal 'rules' of dnb probably don't apply.I enjoyed.

I like atmospherics too so i liked the intro. The bass is a bit muffled imo.
The snare not just thin but after a while its bad to my ears. Its not a bad sample but you should to layer it with a lower one i think. I like the outro too.
Overall its could be a good one if you make some variations on the bass and fix that snare problem.

This is sick, it's so chilled and eerie it's unbelievable! When I do mixes to give people, this is exactly the type of tune I like to start with, minimalist without being boring. I would agree that the snare needs little more weight. Maybe layer it up with a fatter one when it "drops" ..around 2.15? But don't clutter it up with too many edits man! Love it!!
Cheers for the comments everyone! I'm glad people liked the ambience and general idea... That's what I was hoping for. I'll fatten up that snare and play some more with the bass and add a couple of new sounds to keep it interesting. And try turning my kick down!!
Thanks everyone, I'll keep u posted.

Intro does create a lot of tension, it could be a tad louder though, the hihats sound very loud compared to the intro. In fact the hihats should be less loud. Snare is to thin for my taste, but it does the job. This is anything but a standard dancefloor smasher
Track needs new elements after 4 minutes, it tends to be very repetitive from there on. From 5:50 till the end things get a bit more varied again, maybe you could make the part from 4:00 to 5:50 a bit shorter? Nice track.

woooo the intro nearly put me too sleep, not in a bad way i just meant its very dreamy. not my flovour at all but anyway. you need some phat drums the snare is barley there at all, layer some breaks in there aswell. never heard that kinda bass within this kinda track before but nice idea.
intro reminds me of portishead...nice ambient trip-hop vibe going on....ooooh not sure about the break that comes in...doesnt sound nice at all...build up is a little long too, not enough going on to sustain interest imo...bass sound that comes in around 2:15 sounds nice but you need to do more with it, more variations and movement would gets things rolling a bit more....drums could use more substance, a bigger snare and maybe some unusual percussive elements would fit the vibe well...half-step section is a good idea...not a bad tune...jus gets a little repititive after a while...
so i know u gotta work dru fills pads etc, so all i can suggest in terms of structure etc would be to try and get a bit more intensity built up earlier on, also i think you could even think about taking the drop in a different direction, get more energy and a faster bass, may be worth an experiment
