Here, I hosted it on my server. Enjoy.

Having listened to both, I agree with you about the drum programming – primitive but in a good way. (I think the technical term for that would be “old-school.” Lol.)

Thanks! Do you have a link to Dust that I can listen to? Tried amazon but the sample is too short. Definately could see the comparison: we both use kind of “primitive”, raw, and plodding drum programming. In a good way, I think!

I really like this track. I dunno if it’s just the title or what, but something about it reminds me of Dust by Alex Gopher.

i enjoy both of these mixes. you incorporate that “atmospheric” sound i’ve eluded to in the past. that subtle sweep really does a lot to a mind.
i’m not sure which mix i’m more into.
but one thing that i’d suggest. and if you remember, these suggestions are more for myself (things i’d do or like to hear). selfish ole me. the drum mix. make another one similar, but with a tracky acid line. 303, with the portamento. with that atmospheric, it could quite possibly be spooky and warping. to me, this kind of track is very powerful. the subtle atmosphere combined with the driving, but not overbearing, acid line, and the discoey drum lines, eludes to the early mornings of times past. times perhaps too far gone, but not forgotten, and not unobtainable again.

Strange
I think the intro is a bit boring and long. It takes a lot of time before something happens.

Fresh
Although I do not like to many Techno songs that are slow this one seems to work. I like the steady walking beat. It is a totally chilled out beat. You can really bob you head and relax to this music. I said the music sounded like M.C Hammer. I do not know too many Techno People. Good work, I am an independant film maker and would be able to use this music in a scene.

i like that dj mix. icy trees? it reminds me of an l.a. boulevard. i have no idea why. i’ve never even been there. maybe icy palm trees, frozen from escaped refrigerant.

Hi, Andy. I saw an old Brian’s Threaded Comments comment where you said you might work on fixing the four expand/collapse buttons that appeared when you installed. Obviously your buttons are looking great now, so I’m wondering if you’re willing to share your secret.

Nice but a little hollow
Really nice piece. Catchy bass line and little inflections of sound here and there. At some points the sounds really hollow…make some mid range synth? Seems to be highs and lows but never anything to fill the speakers up.

Sounds empty and raw besides some originality
I liked the intro.

I never heard a metronome in a beat of this genre before as weird as it sounds.

The clap sound is a bit raw.

For a 6 and a half minutes song, i may say it gets very boring over time. It sounds empty mostly and lacks not of bass but of background sound. Because this song does not sound like music but like a simple beat. Lots of original sounds but it sounds like an experiment to me.

Plus the ending lacks something, it ends abruptly and i don’t know if i even thought that was one.

I have no idea how you sound like sincerely. I just don’t listen to that kind of music usually.

Keep it up though!

this is original stuff..the bassline reminds you of the old nintendo games but thats ok because beats are dark and that creates a bizzare feel for the listener. you need to watch out for the breaks though…make it sound a little more dramatic by adding some stabbing effects and cut out some length because it goes on and on. i have never heard anything like this before though…i praise you for being daring and trying out something new…and also, the production is excellent..you can do so much more with this song man.

I hate to be a nay sayer here.
I found this song to be a little bit monotonous. It lacks direction and real feeling. I hate to be down on artists but this song just didn’t go anywhere. You could rev it up a little with some vocals or give it a kick by adding some catchy drum hits or something. I’ll give you credit for trying.

Yellowish tones
This one has some nice elements. The deep bass synth provides the main theme of the track. For the most part it is well played. The only thing is that sometimes the notes are played so close together that this particular synth gives it an odd sound. Not a big detractor , but it is noticeable.

There are some nice atmospheric tones that help the balance of the track. The slight break at the halfway point keeps the track from becoming too monotonous, but almost 7 minutes may be a bit too long for this track without some more sonic diversity. The song reminds me a bit of some Kraftwerk tracks and also some of Yello’s stuff from the late 80’s. Overall, I liked it but the length of the track is an issue.

De Zeis 2 cents
it’s a good try but it seems to miss some verve. Theres to much intermezzos with nothing else playing then the percussion. The percussion is good but to carry an entire track with it dont work. I think it misses some synths or more change in melody.
Good stuff but needs some work.
