[Sit. Stay. Repeat.]

Yeah, I'm impressed!

Well, your choice to record the song paid off. This tune just oozes awesome. Loving the guitar line and the effects on the vocals. I'm trying to think of constructive criticism to give, but I just can't think of any. This is really reminiscent of some of Yoko Kanno's music to me for some reason. Either way, it's fantastic. I'd love to hear more like this.

SensoryDecay responds:

Hey thanks! I'm gonna be uploading new stuff as I record it. I'm working really hard in pushing myself cause I haven't been playing as much as I like to lately. Glad you like it! I'll keep the groove goin' in this direction then.

Oh man,

I'm so very glad I randomly clicked on this. Right from the get-go, LOVING the oldschool 90's rave feeling, and this continues throughout the whole track. Love the grainy time stretching on the breaks, and the glitches are really fresh, and truly GLITCHY. By that I mean that they're not just simple retriggers. Some of the glitches in this tune sound genuine, which I love. Another element I really enjoyed was that classic bass sound starting at around 2:05. Only suggestion: I think that in pitch shifting and time stretching the main break, it's lost some of its frequencies, specifically low end in drum hits other than the kick, while the synths and bass do help to fill this gap, I think that the main break could benefit with some layering with other breaks and/or some Eqing to emphasize lesser heard frequencies.

Also, nice to see someone else producing in Renoise! Are you using the new beta yet?

houzatosis responds:

I haven't had a chance to try the beta, but I'd love to try the new instrument design.

[SH - Come Too Far]

Wow.

First time I've heard GOOD music in the top 5 in a WHILE. Loving the oldschool "sampled" feel to this song. This is really my favorite kind of hip hop. Right off the bat you've got the nice crunchy jazz chords played on a nice smooth e-piano. And the funky breaks come in very nicely. Everything just blends well. Good work.

shaggyhaired responds:

Thanks a bunch man, means a lot!

[The Phantasm of Nightmare]

Congratulations!

Congrats on winning Retroman! You put up a good fight. Hell, you beat me first round. Two criticisms on this song: AAAAH! DBLUE! NOOOOO! If you want I can teach you how to make all the glitches Dblue does by hand, which gives much more flexibility.

Also: The drums are consistently too quiet, and also seem to be EQed a bit funny.

Other than that, this is great stuff. Keep at it.

RetromanOMG responds:

Hey, thanks, but because of Numi being unavailable at the moment, the scores can't be finalized. Hopefully I won though.

On the subject on DBlue, in the short time I've had it, it's already become gimmicky for me. I'll consider asking you for some pointers.

[Dimple]

Yum.

Been a while since I've heard some good melodic breakcore like this. Synthwork is amazing, and constantly changing, which is something I've always loved. Drum programming is ace. All sounds are balanced nicely for the most part. The squelching acid-ish bass seems a bit loud in the mix, as do some of the melodic "piano" like instruments. But other than that, a great tune.

datamouth responds:

thanx poopr! yeah im a sucker for thick tweaking basses. i crank them up! too much maybe lol.
thanx for the great review man. means alot.

[animals at the stream]

I'll be the first...

I'll be the first to not give this a zero. Definitely giving it somewhere around an 8 or 10. It's very interesting noise, I like it. I think the only problem is that the actual render sounds really low quality. Other than that, I like this a lot.

[SpK*) - Busy Tone]

Mmm.

Tasty 7/4 goodness. Really enjoyed the odd intro synth and melody. Did sort of remind me of the dialing tone. As always, razor sharp pinpointed detail in your programming.

[Shorai no]

Wow.

If you had an entire album released for sale, I would absolutely buy it. You are so full of talent, and no one knows it. It's really a shame. I've been telling friends from other IDM communities about your stuff, and linking them, and they're also loving it. This song is so amazingly chill, yet there's so much going on. It's incredibly beautiful. Don't ever give up what you're doing. No matter what anyone tells you. Just keep doing it. You're amazing at it.

[SpK*) - 78 Pixels Ver.2]

Man.

Edits, edits, edits. It's so fast paced. It really reminds me of CCDM and his ridiculous fast chiptune breakcore edits. Really loving how clicky the whole thing is.

[SpK*) - doesnotcompute. FINAL]

Yeah,

This is such an awesome improvement over previous versions. Seriously The intro is so boss it's not even funny. Same as before, GREAT glitchy edits. Loving all the background synths and mechanical whirrings. 10/10 5/5
