It's about time I posted something here - it's probably not for everyone (influences include Orbital, Eno, AFX etc), but I'd still be interested to see what you guys think of the mixes.

"This music is crap and you don't use enough guitars."

At least someone could have replied with something like this Surely there are people here interested in non-guitar music?

Some clean synth sounds that are pleasant enough, but none of them (and i listened to all 9: 46.3 MB worth) seem to be "in your face" enough rhythmically.

Hey, thanks for checking them out - I wasn't expecting anyone to listen to them all!

Drums/percussion is something I'm never too sure about... I monitor nearly everything via headphones so what sounds pretty busy (to me) often ends up sounding like pizzlefizpop to other people. But then again I've always liked pizzlefizpop type drums

I've got a DrumStation sitting here that really doesn't get used at all - maybe it's time I plugged it in again - and took my headphones off.

Downloaded "Separation". "Sierra", and "White Red Blue"......nice tunes, but I have to agree with drstawl about the non-dramatic rhythm...However, I liked the beat well enough on "Sierra" as well as the vox humana sounds.....pizzlefizpop (your word, lol) pretty much describes the drum sound, however, on all three I heard.....bass boost, kicks, and crashes would add a lot to these tunes (in my opinion) and would really compliment the synth sounds....gibs

I love the kind of chill-out music your trying to make. But when I listend to it, it seemed to me, that there was something missing. I think too, that the problem is the percussion. Your music somehow never gets to a point. Pizzlefizpop is a real good word that describes your rhytmics. You might have to add more bass drum, in the way that the sound gets more regular...hmmm...whatever! I'm not an expert and I couldn't make it better! Just some thoughts.

I'd add a smidge reverb on the kick, maybe some on the hi-hat. Are you able to maybe make every other hi-hat tap reverbed, without adding reverb to the OTHER every other? That could sound neat.

Then again, I drink gasoline.
