Now You Must Pay With Your Life!
Probably shouldn't go perusing other's comments before I lay down mine, but I find I agree with about everything already said, with the exception of it feeling "uncomfortable", I found it soothing and I'm a little afraid of what that might say about me! Seriously, impressed with your concept and your production skills, this was quite entertaining, time well spent. Rated.
I dont know what compelled me to listen to your track as i dont really like or listen to DnB but i just had to listen for some reason? lol Dont take personally, i just never got into DnB for some reason. .... i sound old as balls! lol As far as the process of making DnB goes i couldnt tell you one thing about ti but i can tell this is a very polished piece. Anyone who listens to music could tell you that. Some nice nasty sounding basslines in this and i also like the degraded vox. Nothing else really to say, i kinda enjoyed it but it kinda makes me feel uncomfortable. Probably the reaction you go for in your music? Anyways, best of luck with it bud! PS: True ststement (Artist comments) and i also listened the whole way through so i could give you a fair listen! :)
Alright, now for my 2 cents. When i listen to a piece of music, I normally don't tear it apart unless I don't groove to it and all I hear is stuff I want to change. Change is not needed here. I understand what you were hearing when you created this piece. That's me grooving with you. When a musician can do that, then that is good. This is good. It creates a mood. A moment. An entertaining one at that. If you changed anything on this piece, it would change the feel that I enjoy so much so.. There's my 2 cents. -rl
Wicked awesome intro...it really gets into my soul. Powerful. It feels like the world of injustice. The rapid beat and futuristic sounds are effective. My criticism is general, not specific to your work - which is technically fantastic. By the title and post, I can tell that generating anger is the point. Music is powerfully effective in changing moods. When anger is incited, some people react with violence. Whereas I deny artist responsibility for the action of listeners (unless they specifically encourage violence), I challenge you to fully live up to your name and figure out a way to channel the anger you so proficiently stir into right action for resolution of injustice and the good of all. Rated because you are indeed, Dark Genius.
Sry forgot the good stuff... Atmos, build and arrangmenent is quality, the track goes on a roller coaster ride of beats and bass, I just want more dynamics :)
I have always thought that you don't push the dynamics enough on you drum tracks DG, believe it or not I have listend to a load of your tunes relatively speaking and always thuoght the same. If that helps, I just want that drum track to smack me in the face and for everything else to fold around it. Hope that sort of helps bud, also feel free to crit me anytime.
It takes at least 5 minutes to write a comment dude cos ya really need to listen to the full song so there's me 1st criticism hee hee. Drum work's fine and sharp - is it breakbeat style? Embarrassing look on my face if it aint BUT i'm no expert. Not really a big liker of the heavy buzzy sounds dude but your song blurb asked for comments. Thinking about the drums - maybe a little wider in the stereo field would be good - they seem pretty central and static for the listener. I like the sounds coming in after the 5min mark dude - remind me of some on cubase4. Maybe the track is a little lacking in the bass in some areas. Rated on the positives mentioned.
Mr DG I have neglected your pages for too long and its my loss not yours. I have come a long way in the last 6 months in that I would normally have turned my ears away from DnB considering it just a lot of noise but how naive was I. I can hear that there is a tremendous amount of energy here that you have to contain in a wrapper of often delicious melody. Thine ears have been opened and I will forever be drawn to listen and learn. I have no comments to add just yet as I dont feel at all qualified other than to say DnB for me is a place where the drums represent a perception of a wall that cannot be scaled, but teasingly on the other side their is a whole landscape of colour and sound that should be sought out by anyone who enjoys well crafted melody. Great work Ant

Let me start of by saying that in general, i dont listen to much drum and bass. Its never really caught my attention, usually its just something nice in the background while i am high. But this caught my attention in a good way.It starts of in a very dark synth way and maintains a very nice shadowy and sinister feel throughout the track.The beats and sounds are all really solid and serve to build
