Crunkin!
The nonexistant wife, kids and I all enjoyed this song. We put on our green berets and bopped around while consuming nibbles on cocktail sticks.
If you hadn't expressely told me not to steal this, I might have considered it.
I suppose all that I would suggest you add to a song like this would be a melody to give us a sense of direction. But that is a hardly necessary, more a personal choice.
Good stuff! Cheerio!
Whoa, an entire family enjoying my music, eh? I'm flattered! I never thought of the absence of a melody, but now that you mention it, yes, there is a lack of direction. Wish I could go back and edit, but I can't. Thanks for the review.
Wootah!
Holy crap! First submission? I pray to a God of questioniable existance that this will not be your last. What a drum beat! You are going to have to give me some tips on how to create such things.
So where would I suggest that you improve for your next submission...
I think that everything needed is in place, you just need to work on the overall volume of your song, the clarity is a little low, which detracts from the wonder of the song. Having said that, I myself have not worked out how to do this, perhaps just push your master volume a little more into the red.
Your work reminds me of Juno Reactor, please keep posting.
Almost
This song appears to be mainly various chord progressions. Very pleasant chord progressions, with nice tone, but not exactly enough to reach the status of a 'song'.
Are you using Garageband instruments?
I think perhaps with some decent software and longer more varied songs you could make some very nice music. Music software does not need to be expensive, in my experience, as long as you are willing to buy older stuff off Ebay and such.
Anyway, good luck, keep working hard.
I'm just using the loops in Garageband. I can't afford any real programs. Acid is at least $200 and Logic is $600.
Very nice me hearty!
Ear-catching intro.
Extremely funky body.
Good use of silence.
Very satisfying.
I would love to know how you did those cymbals.
Please respond if it doesn't involve some fancy plug -in.
My only problem with this song is that it feels more like a demo of different tones rather than a progressing song.
thank you for the review. i use fl studio 5 produce edition (i got it off this one torrent) and one of the new features is a new plug-in called fpc that has live recorded drum kicks,hats,crashes, etc. and it comes with a folder that contains just the wavs. Well if you need anymore help e-mail me at popkorn1340@yahoo.com. thank you for this review im glad there are people out there apppreciating my music
oh yeah check out my other songs too, thanks a million -popkorn
Why the ugly name?
The drums are functional and nice, particularly the bongos in the latter half of the song.
The guitar starts off a little hesitantly but once the harmony begins things progress nicely.
Seems like the melody guitar is a little quiet and indistinct, if it is the melody then make sure that the listener can tell it is the melody.
The synthesizers add a pleasant second level to the song just as it is beginning to get repetitive. And also justify you putting this song in the ambient section, almost.
Good job, I would say keep it up, but you appear to be prolific enough without such encouragement.
I try to take any sort of feedback and turn it into encouragement, so thanks. George, the guy who wrote this song with me, thinks the same about the beginning. He almost pukes every time he hears it. Thanks again.
Courtly
I feel like I am in the court of the Crimson King.
I think that you and I are much alike, if you don't mind me saying so. We both struggle to produce pleasant noises with our aging synthesizer, we both have trouble deciding on which genre to switch to, and we both like interupting our songs with funny noises.
Having said that, you seem to grasp the concept of harmonics to a greater extent than I, and for that I have much respect.
I would suggest that you make more of the harmony just after the intro, when the strings come in to begin with, that is good stuff.
Grunge man!
The greatest eh?
Surprisingly good recording quality. I presume that this is just an un-doctored live recording?
The entire song sounds like one big introduction, simplicity is a virtue, but this leaves you wanting more.
On the other hand, both musicians are of outstanding quality, really, quite outstanding guitar and drumanship. I expect some great stuff from you guys.
Thanx very much to all those who have downloaded and reviewed the song! There will be more stuff soon, including a live piece! But if you have such a huge craving for the centars, then check out www.geocities.com/thecentars you can buy a swan!
A bountiful surprise!
Wow!
The drums at the beginning didn't give me high hopes, but what an introduction!
Beautiful upbeat drums, subtle countermelody, this is everything I wish I could do!
Ooh! And you break it down!
You really need to give me some words of wisdom!
Thank you very much for your review.
Pleasant
Ok, here we go!
Lovely beginning, is that live guitar or keyboard?
Beautiful countermelody.
You do stay on each pattern a little bit too long, but on the other hand you do have a clearly identifiable chorus.
The song could benefit from more instruments, or more dynamic drums.
Lovely
Your guitar playing is delightful enough.
I very much enjoy your voice.
The chorus/instrumental is very engaging.
You might want to try and make your backing instruments as clear as your voice, perhaps increase the sampling rate?
Yeah, besides the clarity issue you seem to be quite a veritable Saul Williams, don't know why people keep giving you bad scores, you won't be getting one from me.
wow, thanks alot man. i don;t know much about recording... as you might-can tell... drew's the vocalist/poet... and he loves the saul williams comparison! my guitar engaging? sweet... our more recent stuff has been more playful, but definately check back and review often!
