Every Sound is distinctive from the next. You can tell when a track is Eqd’ right, by you the listener having the ability to separate each sound in the song, and that there is a found balance within the structure and dynamics of the tune.

As Far as structuring, you will never hear structures like these, because they are extremely experiential, as I have always done it. ( Unstoppable-Motion Syndrome) aka "The Rollercoaster Effect".

This is the first of a few edits, if I were to Master Press this, it would get the full treatment.

Like my other work, it always sounds like different records getting mixed together, very strange I know. (Unstoppable-Motion Syndrome) U.M.S. I made that up btw.

Thanks for the heads up on the Highzzzzzzz.

Windows XP sound fonts eh? I do use randomness LOL!

Cheers!

intro sounds are nice....
the reece is abit messy.nice lil vox before the drop.

yeah this does need abit of work...
needs to be mixed down abit better... the reece bassline is drowning the drums... n somethings seem like they dont fit in tune, some synth work. and yeah just n overall mix down... but the ideas are there... just need to make it abit more exiciting with change ups n shit n effects use... its all gotta sound clean though, otherwise it just sounds like crap... so keep churning it till u get that nice clean sound.

maybe add more low end to the drums also.

peace

Hummmm....I just reviewed the old version...didn't know this was a new version of the same song.

Anywayz..most things have been said.

This will be a killer once you sort out the sound issues. Can't really say I agree about the drums, they sound fine here, but when I'm listening to this in my headset those high frequencies really start to hurt after a couple of minutes.

Great stuff, good to see there are more people stretching the DnB genre for what it's worth.

alright starts mysterious, not bad, tho youre throwing everything down too fast man.. chill, choose sounds carefully, put them with more sense

lol Im at 3:20 weird melodies, too much sounds, in other words total mayhem! not in a good way, it feels youve said enough already and it should end there

I dont know what the funk youre trying to do/say with those theories of yours, nor I give a shit.. I know this is a complete mess as usual from you tho..

sorry dude, you seem to have interesting ideas going.. the thing is <insert any of my previous comments of your tracks here>

you did manage to get a pretty nice and when compared to the rest, at least clearer bit of ambienal thingie at 5:00 but you drop it again too soon..

one word: STRUCTURE

p.s. I gotta ask, why are you replying to your track with posting pictures? lol theres an edit button up there to edit previous posts

Two Words....Kemikal Structure.....
I'm influenced mainly by my own formulas not ones that are already out there....I have been making Drum & Bass since before it had it's on genre name...it was just hardcore techno back in the early 90's...

So.....my material is ahead if it's time.....
Commercial structuring is all good and fine....
But I am a Drum n Bass composer.
I make tunes for the sake of complexity, and innovation....
They are records of my thoughts.....

Now is this simply a theory? or fact?

I thank you for your prespective....and will take it into account....

Keep Dubbin' Dubrain!
Perhaps a remix is in order here....
I wanted to remix this one any way....
You can hear many main structures rather than one main idea...
kind of like comparing Classical Music to Pop Music...
Of course Classical Music Structures are much, much more complex..
Poppy(commercial) DNB...Is awesome...and so is Experimental Progresive DNB (progresive underground).

Drum n Bass was underground for years b-fore it hit the mainstream.

Thanks For Da Review Bigup

DJ KEMIX!!!

I like sour. and bitter and sweet. all kinds of tastes, but not a mixup - all at once. reason Im adressing is that I find you have quality, man, really I can feel those ideas flowing through, and you improved sound quality in this one too. but, you gotta think of the listener for a second, otherwise you're making something thats listenable only to yourself..

waw intro really mindtwisting, but cut a bit high shelf on the hats. pitty it all gets a little bit blurry, the sounds seem nice seperately but interfere put toghether here. i suggest another layer setting and less effects. I tell you this could be sweet as hell. maybe it is that intense that you have to lay it rest for a while. could be better I swear.

4,5/10

cheers

This is odd,............
very odd.........

I like the way youve made the tune to sound like several tune being mixed together, which for the best part works, but occasionaly gets rather messy.
Some of the ideas are really cool but I think it'd be cool if you made a bit more of a feature of them. Most of the sounds are cool, I especially like like the ethereal synth lead. The bass is a bit muddy. I like the orchestral style hits, they add some nice depth. The only thing I dont like is the chimes, they get a bit annoying after a while. Maybe putting them through some different effects just to keep a little variation.
The structure is a little screwy but I kinda like it for that, It keeps you guessing.
One definate good thing about this is the fact that it carries a lot of energy. Its very driving.
I really like the slightly more chilled out bit at around 5:00, very nice.

My only major critism is that the impact of each part is lost through the occasional messyness and oddness of the stucture. Maybe making a little more of a feature out of some of the ideas and allowing the listener to aclimitize to them. Then switching it and screwing with theyre head. As it is, you expect changes all the time and therefor the impact which could be gained from all the twisting between ideas is lost.
Cool tune though. Its nice to see someone else who is thinking of DnB as more than music for raving to, but as a medium for musical expresion.
I do a similar thing with some of my tunes, "Cylocibe cubensis" is a good example of this. Although I do sometimes go back to making slightly more dance floor tunes (Microcyphalic Pigmy) so that Ive got something to play in my live sets. For SOME reason, people seem to find it difficult to dance to something in 7/8 at 190 bpm.
Cheers for the tune though, enjoyed it.

hello. Intro synth noise is a little strange. Some of the synths a like but some I don't . It's cool to go to broken beats in there evry once in a while it just felt a little much. I think it's the trippy soundin one that's bothering me. The bass sounds good and everything I think the drums need to tighten up around the bass if you kind of know what I mean. You should make the 1st drop a little more expected. I goes in to som nice parts it just needs to be organized a little more. Could be a really super track if you worked it a bit more.

I've read this discussion, and all I am going to say is you post better than you do music. I am not going to comment content of this song but at least from technical point of view it needs a -lot- of work, starting from equalising to better choice of samples. From what I've read it sounded like you are next aphex twin, xploding plastics or venetian snares but I am sorry to tell you that you are not. I was trying to hear any innovation
but I failed miserably. I am sorry for honesty bro
