[Cyan]

Your strength

This kinda tune seems to be your real strength. I really enjoy your rhythms and melodies when you just groove along and bust out something quality like this.

The flute(?) at 0:52 adds a nice layer, though it sounded a tad too synthy for my liking.

Beats seemed near-perfectly placed.

The melody was complex and it's still not predictable despite my listening to it a load of times over the last week. I still love the way you meander whilst returning back to the main melody.

All in all, this style seems to be your forte and I can only hope that you continue to work in this area, maybe experimenting a bit on your journey.

You've been faved.

[Adrenaline*]

Not the most 'pleasant' loop.

I like how the intro goes into the fast melody quickly and the couple of cooler sections you have - at 17s and at 29s to the end - work well. I thought it wouldn't loop pleasantly becauseof the small buildup, but it overcomes that slightly by having a fairly equal amount of the 2 tempos.

However, because the main melody is quite simplistic, it does get annoying quickly.

I can only hope that your game doesn't force us to listen to this for too long.

I did actually kinda like the melody - slightly jolly despite the minor key.

[<Me & the expression of me>]

calm, yet nerve-wracking. Yet a tad dull.

It sounds like you've got one loop repeated 4 times here.

it is cool - kinda peacful, kinda tense, kindea suspenseful...

It's also kinda empty - not sure if you're hoping for it to be used in a combination with other stuff, but it's a tad uninteresting as is. Maybe because it's 4 tiny loops.

Conal responds:

Nope, the whole thing is one loop, no double's or tripple's or quadrouple's in this song.

[Squirrel Hum]

Funny when in between 'real' songs.

Very staticcy and when looped, it gets annoying quickly. However, when it popped up between other tunes on iTunes, I burst out laughing. It's short enough that you're left thinking, 'What the fuck was that'? Whilst the next, real, song starts.

Could actually work well in injecting some humour into a mixtape.

If someone wanted a squirrely voice, I think they'd want to have some voice auditions.

.K.

[Gothclawz Beat]

A nicer form of real static.

Doesn't loop too well - kinda breaks the beat.

It kinda sounds like a horse running, with static added. Amusing for 12s maybe.

Unenjoyable. I suppose it's more enjoyable than 'real' static, yaknow? Could be used for that...

Watching a horse dance with a static tv!?

[Robot Sound Effect: 1]

A robot moving? Camera scanning?

Actually does remind me of a robot moving. Or a bunch of other things.

This seems to loop well.

Small application though it might work well in a specific point...

Conal responds:

It sure might!

[My Guitar - Modified]

A fuck-about. Cool to do. Not so much to listen to

I get the impression that this is basically just you fucking about. It's actually kinda cool to experiment and whatnot but fyi, it doesn't sound 'good'. Because of the layering and volumes, I can only make out 2 instruments - the quick modulating bit and the bubbling from the start. They both seem to be repeated a bit...

this is vaguely interesting. But still, it's something I'll definitely be deleting and didn't particularly enjoy the times I listened.

[Robot Sound Effect: 2]

Angry Robotish sfx.

I'm guessing this is meant to be an sfx rather than a loop.

It does sound like an angry robot and I could see this being used a couple of times as a robot rampages towards our hero. Or maybe in a game, for when some robots first spot you.

A bit harsh to be used constantly, but it sounds sufficiently 'robot-ish'.

One of those things that has a tight application, could sound good for that one use, but is otherwise a tad annoying.

Anoyying could help spam flashes... You never know.

[My Ideo of Hell]

A decent rendition of a slightly mechanised hell

A real pounding, slightly demonic, vibe. I hear machinery, wailing, roaring... the camera would pan as flames burn, souls flit around, evil torture devices are used...

Not looping it better seems like a missed opportunity, but it actually sounds kinda cool,

When I read the title, I was worried, it was just an attempt to be as annoying as possible!

Conal responds:

LMAO!!
You makes me laugh.

[Why the Night p8]

needs a tad more clarity imo

I like the intro beats and guitar. The melody of your vocals is cool too. Not too sure about the harder beats that come in when you start singing though.

I liked the melody that came in at 58s, but it kinda sounds like it has some static or is badly recorded or something - the tune as a whole just isn't that clear at that point.

I think your vocals need a bit more strength to them, spit out the lyrics and let us hear those consenants, get a bit more power...

I actually felt at times that if this were cleaned up a bit it could be a cool track. reminds me of the vibe of some other pro groups, though which ones... that escapes me.

Anyways, good work. Just needs a tad more clarity imo and maybe some more development with the drums and bg melodies.

LenardNotLenny responds:

Again, I need to record this song with an actual band, with some decent mics for this song to reach its full potential. And I'm no vocalist, but I have been trying to get my voice stronger, and unfortunately, I haven't written a song in a while where I can stress that... but yeah. Thanks a lot for the feedback.
