[Christmas 2005: Jingle Bells]

hehehe

Oh does this get me in the spirit

An interesting spin on the song, I loved it! The mix is excellent, I loved the mastering on it, and the bell on the right channel only is an interesting touch that awoke my right ear in a very center-heavy audio portal. :)

Khuskan responds:

I seem to put all my belly/triangly/glockenspiely things on the right channel don't I... I need to break this habit.

[DJ Enthalpy- Thermal Decision]

Nice

Heard a melody in there that is so reminiscent of something else I'd heard before, but I can't put my finger on it. I loved the second half of the song, the 4 on the floor give this a full dance explosion feel, I love it man, you used the filters to the fullest, and I love the attention to panning you gave it, it immerses you in the song so much! Anyway, great job on this man, I've got another artist to look out for :)

[Acoustic_Chill]

Does exactly what the title describes

It chills you out, so mission accomplished on your part.

I'm wondering if that's you playing guitar in the track, I vaguely remember speaking to you about guitar and I think you mentioned that you do play, and if so, great job it sounds very clean, well played good sir. But where's the attempt at a poetic title?

LJCoffee responds:

:) - Yes I do play but not this time - the guitar was sampled and re-arranged (I didn't play it though). Next track with guitars though I will be the one playing. I'm glad you liked it!

[Remission_Warder]

So fuckin' cool!

I loved this song!

Everything about it was so slightly off center, weird and chill and very upbeat yet relaxed...

The tabla was a very welcome addition to the heavy beats pounding throughout the song, and the ambient pads in the background were just right. However I felt like maybe it could have had a more definite lead, but that's my personal taste and this works just fine as is. Great work LJ, and it's nice to see you back submitting, and alive at all!

-ac-

LJCoffee responds:

Thanks Admiral! - yep - I'm alive and I've decide that I needed to submit SOMETHING... I saw all of the new names floating around the BBS and it felt a little like I was fading into obscurity so I decided to start putting tracks up again and to make a post or two here and there - can't have NG forgetting about me!!

Talk to you later - and thanks again for the review! - I really don't deserve the scores you gave me ... but I'll take them just the same!

[Massacara Omega]

hehe, got high and started using FL?

for a high person who doesn't know how to use FL, you managed to come up with something... umm... how to describe it... weird yet solid. It's really interesting, and the beat is actually pretty cool, but it doesn't really go anywhere to take this track from a 7 to anywhere higher. However, because you were high, you get an 8 :P

[DarudeSandStorm Remix (beta)]

haha, pandy's back eh?

Oh man, is this a good remix...

You've done an excellent job, and I love that intro part with the lowpass filter sweep into the first... umm.. verse...

and you changed the key in the middle of the riff, which gave it a jazzy feel which I thought was AWESOME

I don't know if I would have gone with a dirty saw for the main synth but more like a clean one like in the original...

Overall pretty damn good job man. Oh and welcome back sir :)

[Flashburn - Crimson Keys]

This isn't ambient...

however I won't downrate because of that, because this song is VERY cool!

The melodies and such are too busy for it to be ambient, but I love the melodies to bits, they're so cool! Your synth choices might not be in the best interest of the rest of the song, but I like the piano and bass and the drums are fine too. Anyway, I find this to be better than crystal keys and is my new favorite of yours. Good job man!

-ac-

Flashburn responds:

I know its not ambient but what else is it then?? Anyways thanks for the review

[Smix - Nerve DEMO]

Nice drums samples, synths were standard though

All of those synths have been used to death in other techno tracks, I liked the little bass outro part though, that sounded like it was going to lead into something pretty awesome. Anyway, I liked this piece, but it sounds too generic techno-ish, know what I mean?

-ac-

sonic-remix responds:

yeah, i made this using my friends computer, so i had to use the default plugins.(ie: sytrus, 3Xosc...you know the shitty ones)

so the full Ver. will be with my good plugins at home...

thank you for the review!
much appreciated!

[Outro riff of DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!]

heavier than a donkey's ass

I'm sure that if a suicidal person listened to this, they would kill themselves right away, which is good because this is the Outro Riff of Death, and the outro riff is trying to bring sacrifices to his God, Death. He'll do a good job, I wager :)

Hahahaha thanks for the kick ass review man.
