    second post because i couldn't properly edit my first one:

    nice and amtmospheric. massive bass. maybe to massive but i know that's the way you like it. so that's a matter of taste, clearly. but there is something that is a little weird, imo. i reckon that's the extra kick or sth. that comes in every second bar or sth, dunno. it makes it sound a little bit like two records are trainwrecking. this is probably the 'nutty' section :) 1:13 about would be an example. sounds a little alien in the track, i think. it just sounds a little displaced to me but i think it would with mebbe some extra eqing, i dunno. at first i thought there was an lfo running on the sample-startpoints kinda knocking it off a strictly quantized groove from time to time. maybe take the volume down on that clashing 808 kick or whatever it is or add a more distinct attack to that sound or replace by a different sound playing the same pattern.

    there is a lead kinda sound in there (a metallic one) which could be a little louder for my tastes. because it is good. love the way you drop in sounds in a organic way. keeps it moving.

    i think the ending is a little abrupt?

    i wouldn't mind some vocals in there at times but maybe not your trademark pitched down ones telling a story (sorry :) ) something more whispered with filred echoes??

    i just noticed media player isn't reporting the track length completely so... my 1:13 comment could be absolutely useless.


    it is a work of art, though and it is growing on me. must have been a lot of work i think as i listen again and again, full of little details. wow. nice heartbeat like subby sound (the bassline, hehe)


    shit, this probaly won't help at all. sorry.

    It`s all helpful mate, as I said, the room acoustics are a bit weird, so I really am not too sure where I stand yet.

    I`m starting to thing all that buffer chaos behind the main kick might have been maybe too radical, it sounds fine when cranked, but it does have moments of trainwreck that are a little too far off the beat.
    I`ll tame it I think.

    Is the bass too big?
    I mean, obviously I like a full bottom (fnar fnar) but is it overpowering?
    If I even move a foot from the sweet spot in the monitor field the bass goes all wacky.

    And yeah, your right about the vocals, I want some too, but only sparsely used.
    I`ve got some good shit to use for that, so this isn`t a final version by any respect.

    cheers shilly beers!!
    Solitary by nature.
    Isolation is the gift.
    Does anyone have courage to stand apart any more?

    Love it bigman, I need to listen at home but for now that sounds wicked.
    Proper techno, a little bit tribal(but not)love the main groove and the way the atmospheres and energy builds is very clever.
    I will listen tommorow again and leave better feedback.

    I realy dig this track, the percussion and bass realy set the mood
    (love the groove)The hats in the stereo feild are very cool.
    I like this huge bass end, maybe the kick suffers a little from it compared
    to your usual tight as **** kick drums but I like it as it is myself, it
    helps the rest of the groove I feel this way.
    The way the tracks vibe builds is class, reminds me a little of how I
    like to build energy myself maybe(and possibly why im feeling it so much)
    For you its a little bit tooly (no offence meant)but I know this would work
    so well at the right place in a set.
