Based off the Evil Dead II ead By Dawn movie, http://www.acidplanet.com/artist.asp?PID=442066&T=5639 Another massively disturbing tune from the Horror LP Feliz Dia Delos Muertos( Day of the Dead) Challenja __ may the lord bless and keep you! 02-11-2004 07:45 Surya The Robot Registration Date: 04-11-2002 Posts: 11,238 Helpfulness rating:  Why never mp3 Review later on! __ "In dnb you should make people jump not swim" - Pieter Frenssen 2004 02-11-2004 11:36 CHALLENJA Steppa Registration Date: 25-07-2004 Posts: 81 i guess for download purposes, dont want that shit hitting the net. unless you spin out and would like a copy. i would gladly send you one james __ may the lord bless and keep you! 03-11-2004 00:59 marisol Steppa Registration Date: 23-09-2004 Posts: 279 Helpfulness rating:  pleaze dude nobodys gonna steal your shit. besides if you use acid planet as a host producers are gonna think your shits just a bunch of production loops pasted together ejay style. give the kids your mp3's and save demos from the net untill they get rejected then you dont have to worrie about it being signed. one more thing if your into producing dnb for the money i hope you like top ramen noodles cuz thats all it will pay for mr superstar. 03-11-2004 01:09 B-complex Wicked Producer Registration Date: 07-04-2004 Posts: 374 Helpfulness rating:  to be perfectly honest i think this one just suck. sorry bro __ 03-11-2004 01:15 CHALLENJA Steppa Registration Date: 25-07-2004 Posts: 81 DNB doesnt really pay shit. but touring is what i want to do, see the world. it all starts with one scortching track. i cant appease everyone. sorry m8 james __ may the lord bless and keep you! 03-11-2004 02:19 arqtic Tourist Registration Date: 20-02-2004 Posts: 25 Song sounds a bit empty, try to bring in some more elements. I don't hear any hats in the whole song?? Think that (several) hats would improve the track a lot. Also there is no melody or bass to keep the song a bit interesting. Don't use the vocal samples so much, it gets annoying. There isn't really a build up and climax in the song, try to work on structure. For instance, the drums sound the same anywhere in the track, make them sound rougher after the drop and a maybe a bit different at the second drop, to keep the song a bit diverse. At 1:35 you introduce a large rhythmless part, would be quite boring if u would spin this at a party I personally think (maybe let some hi-hats accompany this part or something). I don't like the feel of the drums, nor the samples you used (that's taste of course), try to use some more variation in the patterns. At 04:15 things start to sound a bit hmm chaotic. Sorry for al the negative criticisme, don't mean to put you down...keep it up! 03-11-2004 12:31 CHALLENJA Steppa Registration Date: 25-07-2004 Posts: 81 i will work on it, mostly this tunes like alot of the Horror Lp tunes are made for home listeners. I plan on marketing the CD as "Horror Electronica" alot of home listeners and horror fans are un aware of the stringent DNB format and required hi hats or beat change ups. Im not really catering to the DNB fans per se, but I have be an avid junglist since 95. SO alot of my tunes sound like DNB or some form of it. ya the tune has no melody, its just ment to be evil noise construction. scare the wits out of you. dark to the max. thanks for the criticism and I will consolt with other producers and look into the "stronger beats at different movements" and maybe the introduction of "hi hats" thanks again james __ may the lord bless and keep you! 03-11-2004 14:21 Dave_Akuma Wicked Producer Registration Date: 02-12-2003 Posts: 400 Helpfulness rating:  whether it's aimed at the dancefloor or home listeners, without no melody, i doubt anyone's gonna enjoy listening to it...this tune isn't 'scary' but rather annoying (due to lack of any melody and the same drum loop the entire tune and the over-use of vocal samples, some of which don't really fit with the rest of the 'tune')...sorry to sound so harsh, but this almost isn't even a song, but rather a bunch of samples thrown together almost for the hell of it... __ 03-11-2004 18:10 CHALLENJA Steppa Registration Date: 25-07-2004 Posts: 81 there is no melody in this track, no need for it. i did just throw the samples in there for the hell of it. but since you guys want more melodious tunes, i will work on one today, i have seen the errors in my ways. but i still like the tune, so NAh!! james __ may the lord bless and keep you! 03-11-2004 20:45 Dave_Akuma Wicked Producer Registration Date: 02-12-2003 Posts: 400 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by CHALLENJA there is no melody in this track, no need for it. __ 03-11-2004 21:32 B-complex Wicked Producer Registration Date: 07-04-2004 Posts: 374 Helpfulness rating:  well, looks like i've did some horror tunes in fasttracker when i was 13 years old, i did not know it's a noise construction.. good to know.. __ 03-11-2004 22:14 zebediah is deep in the jungle Registration Date: 08-10-2004 Posts: 425 Helpfulness rating:  quote: i did just throw the samples in there for the hell of it. - Challenja I don't think this is the kinda shit you should put up on this site.
