[Khuskan: Exaggerate Extended]

Hot damn

This song is very powerful and catchy, two qualities deserving of the McPerfectBurger. However, if it were me giving out the awards, I would give this a McAwesome, because of the following:

I feel like the lead you use is slightly dated(?)... umm I feel like a slightly cutoff, fatter synth would be better. Again, you're pan soundscape is filled all around, however, nothing really changes and stuns me, the one thing that did really impress me was the vocoding. I love vocoders, I need to incorporate that into my next song... Also, didn't you use pretty much that same beat in Outside? I would have used a different snare, a more electronic sounding one. I loved the breakdown with the slick breakbeat minus the bassline, very cool, plus the harmonizing vocoders = extremely powerful buildup tool.

I wish I could better understand the words to the song, because I would sing along to this for sure! Again, awesome work man! Looking forward to female vocals, hehe

Khuskan responds:

The words make less sence than I want them to, to be honest. I had a programmer I know knock up a 'trance rhyme-o-matic' in visual basic, that instantly puts words that you would otherwise never use in music in rhyming order.

I was never one for writing lyrics.

I blame the lack of dynamic panning on my incompetance and lazyness. Feel free to do the same

[Loop of the Gods--_--]

god...

I love that fucking 303 sound...

I really like the punchy ass kick too, it's a great loop! Catchy and danceable, mastered perfectly, it's awesome!

-ac-

PERVOK responds:

Ah, thank you!
That 303 sound was made by me when i was fuckin around with WASP one day...
...and now its MINE!
>:D

thanks for the review!

[Fall of the Doomed LOOP]

Potential city

Do it!

Mainstream perfection... finish this and then bring it in to the club with you. It'll get played :)

-ac-

PERVOK responds:

Thanks, ill be sure to release a quick thrown together version soon...when im not so lazy.

[Pandora - Disestablished Demo]

sweet

This is a very original, strange and diverse piece you have here! I really enjoyed that first melody though, wish you'd have kept working with that, but the rest of the song worked very well... it just seems like the whole song is just a mix of about 6 different melodies that don't have much to do with eachother except for maybe the key. However, it's a very cool display of originality and creativity! I really like the synth you use at the end too, very bassy but has a sort of harmonic twang to it... anyway very cool stuff man!

-ac-

Pandora-Tranquil responds:

Thanks man, very descriptive review!

And thanks for listening

[Growing Insane--_--]

FUCK

I punched a god damn hole in my desk out of involuntarism... this song will pump you up, but then a bit much then you go berserk and start bringin' da pain train on unsuspecting pieces of furniture... listeners beware!

Technical notes!

I really like this technique I keep hearing from you, the noise gating, and I'm interested in absorbing this technique into my own repertoire, I might ask you about it on MSN or something... again though, this song would KILL any and all brain cells if you fucked with pan! Fuck with pan!

-ac-

PERVOK responds:

thought about, and DONE.

[Break Yourself--_--]

floop!

Funky loop

Funkmaster Conquistador says: 1.2 noses out of 1.3

Admiral Conquistador kills FC and never lets him out again.

PERVOK responds:

I rate it half a hurrah and a 1-381/3 eaten dog.

but thanks anyways.
:P

[Personal Acid Trip--_--]

lol

weird, humorous, cute; and then intense and mindscarring, you fucker!

PERVOK responds:

[Chaoz Devotion--_--ZENON REMIX]

The only thing

Is that the bass synth doesn't evolve like PX9's... and that's what makes it so awesome. I mean I love that intro when it goes from that deep sound to a saw to a 303ish glitch sound, but when it's in the main part of the song, it doesn't change like the original's, which was one of the reasons I liked it so much. However, as a different song, which is how I'm going to look at this, it's fucking AWESOME. That synth will haunt my dreams for the next long while, and the drums are fucking intense man, and you've really made me consider making my own remix of chaoz devotion :). I really like the rhythm the synth follows, it's cool, but I gotta say the porta sounds better in my ears :) On the technical side, shit everything is perfect, It could use a little more work on variating the pan soundscape maybe? It has great separation, but everything comes out of both channels. I wish the drums could have been just the tiniest bit more prominent in some parts, but that probably would have caused all sorts of fucking clipping problems, so I'm really not too bothered by that all, as they are clearly audible in the rest of the track. Nicely done man, I can't give you enough credit for tackling one of the greatest songs on NG and doing a fucking magnificent job with it.

-ac-

PERVOK responds:

first ten that ive received from you ;)

thanks for the ong ass review, i really appreciate it. A lot of work went into this one, eh? Pretty easy to tell :P

i think i owe you a revew now, man!

thanks again!

[-=LJC=- Blitz]

Woah!!!

The breakdown blew my face clean off. Seriously, I had to go to the kitchen, get some paper towels, clean off the excess grey matter that flew all over the place, grab the spatula, wedge it snugly in between my peeled face and peel it off ever so gently. Afterwards I lay it on my exposed flesh like a cucumber facial and let my cells dance the healing dance to the fiery hellbeats you crafted. My face is back, and it won't look like anything happen, but what I hope you'll end up realizing is that it was all metaphor for how good I thought this song was and that the paragraph above was just a huge colossal waste of time.

-ac-

LJCoffee responds:

Something similar happened to me once.

Thanks - really! Fiery Hellbeats - I like the sound of that.

[Chronamut Vs. Khuskan -ToS]

Fun and happy

I'd never heard any ToS before.

I liked this piece though, it kind of built into the main bulk of the song rather quickly though, I thought... the lack of a buildup, I felt, made the main part of the song lack an explosive energy, so it felt like it was just droning on like Stupid House... not that this song drones, because the melodies and progressions are actually quite pretty and fun... I felt like this could have been much better arranged. I could clearly tell where Chronamut took over and where Khuskan did, haha. Anyway, I liked it, I felt it was a bit too dominant on the lower end of EQ spectrum, the drums were kinda suppressed, at some points the snare was barely audible. Other than that, it feels like a christmas song, it's christmas eve, and I like it, so good job fuckers. :)

-ac-

Khuskan responds:

Nor have I, except shawns mixes.

When I first made an early draft, I followed shawns version as much as I could. I just want to point out that this track is not a direct mix of the ORIGIONAl TOS song, but infact a remix of shawns.. remix. Weird concept, but I think it worked.

Merry christmas.
