Review #2 Of Jellyfish
Im in a video game
Ane for the soundtrack to an action packed video game, this ones right up your alley. Dynamics may need a little attention in as far as the intrument interacting with each other. As a stand alone tune, it probably need a littl emore variation to maintain 6.09 minutes of interest. I liked the half time feel at around 3.25.

Review #1 Of Jellyfish
hipnotic line
high rithm for this track, a bit like Aphex Twin (and that’s a compliment), great sequences and mixes of different rithms. ipnotic and surreal.

Reverbnation And My Music
Yet again my music has started to amaze me again as this morning i logged onto Reverbnation to find that my artist profile has reached number 19 in the Electronica charts.

Its not much for people reading to get excited but for me its made me happy so i figured that i would share it.

Reveiw…
Traditional Techno/Electronica stuff, which isn’t bad as this song proves. The ambeit synths that start around 1:00 are very cool sounding.
I like the mood and beat of the song a lot, keep at it.

Review #22 Of Jungle Reason
Break the beats.
VERY Nice groove programing.
I liked the flow and progression of the groove up to the break around 1:45 area.
the pads are great for adding the atmosphre. thelead synth are also playing nice stuff, but the general sounds are a little too “familier”.
On the last part of your track there was mostly only groove, and I feel you canadd some hits on 1/32 or 1/64 of the beat to some more interesting fragments to your groove.(try some squarepusher music)
I also missed some movements in the mix (pannings, filterd delays automation and stuff…)
In conclusion - a nice groovy break beat track with catchy hooks.

Just Shaved…
Smooooth. you must’ve just shaved.
I wish we had the D-N-B sub genre at Garageband as a label by which to appropriately brand this track. Electronica, yes, but- RAGGA ROLLIN’ DRUM and BASS is where it lives…
Totally competent. This piece grooves very well. It has perfectly placed breaks and does all the moves it is supposed to. Here is a list of the things I thought were outstanding:
1. At 36 seconds when the counter-beat comes in to compliment the step rhythm. Man, I love that trick.
2. 1:57 when the drums come back in, great stuff.
More about the drums at 2:58, clean! Dark synth and building drum part with that bee-you-tee-full sub-base underneath it all. Sweet.
Let me say, it isn’t like I haven’t heard this all before, I have, which is not a bad thing. Lots of us out here LOVE D-n-B and I love the big Ragga sound especially. To be honest, the expiremental boundary pushing of the likes of Squarepusher and Aphex Twin tend to tire the ear after a while and we need a little straight ahead Goldie (or something, you fill in the name of your favorite urban D-n-B D.J.).
Well done. On the critical tip you might want to tweek your synths a little more, maybe get them to evolve more as the track progresses. You do have a good combination of synth patches and effects which keep the listener engaged, but, if you took those and then subtly effected them a little more over time; it would take this piece to another level. Also the initial lead synth at 12 seconds in is obviously not quantized and there are a few akward out of time pictures of- humanity? If that’s what you want, fine with me. It does stand out. It makes one pay attention, but kind of pulls away from the awesome quality of SMOOOOOTH.

Review #19 Of Jungle Reason
hmm
I found it a bit drawn out, not enough variation in the first section.
Seems a bit too stitched together, needs more work on the arrangement.
Interesting stuff though..

Review #18 Of Jungle Reason
Almost there……
This track is an edgy, dark drum and bass venture. Something about that vocal sample at the beginning reminds me of Leftfields “Leftism” album…..that is a great album. I love the beat that drops at 3 minutes, it come in at the perfect time. All of the original song elements return at the end and the song wraps up nicely.
You’ve got the sequencing under control and it sounds good.
A couple of production notes that might help you out:
At this stage, your song sounds slightly muddy. The high hats, snare, cymbals and synths are all occupying the same frequency. This causes a lack of definition. Make sure you are not boosting the low end of any of the aforementioned. Try using a high pass filter to get rid of the majority of low freq. on the cymbals and snare. The bass synth and bass drum need this space to themselves.
Try a gate/expander on the bass synth track. Then key the gate with the bass drum so that when the bass drum hits, you get a subtle gain increase….about 2dbs. This will give you the extra definition you need to allow for some ooompf <—-how’s that for scientific terminology.
