A techno track called Control. I was pretty pissed off when I wrote it. Not too pissed off, though.
I'm swapping kits throughout to keep it changing a bit, so it's kinda interesting. Sorta.
It's the first time I've done anything so, um, drummy. It's how I remembered The Eurobeat nights
in London to be. I once went there for six hours straight , totally sober, and by the end of the
night, I got a ride back to my flat from one of the touts that lurk outside clubs and all nighters. He
was playing the Spice girls first album and after 6 hours of nothing but drums, it sounded like the
most wonderful and melodic music I'd heard in my life. Chortle.
Anyway. I'm sure it's going to be pulled apart by the Techno elite, but it's not bad for a first try.
Pure Wank, mate.

I was just going to leave it, but there is an absolutely mental mix by Chris Liberator I've been
listening to lately and it's got one of those tracks that has a bassline that sounds like the devil's
electric razor. It sounds like it's shaving the skin off orphans and throwing sand on their twisted
bloody bodys before throwing them through a woodchipper. It's inspiring to say the least.
Relentlessly devilish.
I might add a bassline and speed it up to bring it up to date, or might leave as is. I want to
explore this genre further, for sure.
Dunno yet.
Ta!

I love this
Very nice man... It does need "more"... a psy lead or ACID line, and maybe a fat jungle style bassline (shifting filters kinda head trip madness) a la Ant or The Liberators
But I love this track (easily pleased I guess I LOVE techno)
Found myslef wanting to "remix" this and add shit and play with it.. it's very cool!
In fact if you'd be open to it... i'd love to work with it...
very nice
Incidentaly... I played with Julian Liberator a few years ago. Had a blast with him. Those Stay Up Forever cats are the real deal. Had the pleasure of him telling me i was the best live act he'd seen in the States... which ain't sayin' much to be sure. But he was a cool cat, and very aware of his tables. i played live out of hardware for like 45 minutes off the cuff and he mixed all kinds of vinyl into evrything I threw down. never missed a step...
anyway... nice BEATS, yo!

yes yes go for it
or leave it, as it stands well on it's own.

CydoniaCell - Go for it! Play with it all you like. I think I'm going to mess with a bassline for it,
too. More of a dirtline.
Fuck it up!
I agree - Chris Liberator and Stay up Forever/Truelove are fucking awesome and London
Acid and Techno is still the only music that I can say honestly excites me still after all these
years. It gives me chills like nothing else. Especially a roaring 303 line.
Everything EVERYTHING is soft gayness in comparison. There is nothing that can touch it,
imho. True punk Electronics. I used to go to 414 every single Friday night and go mental
there. Fucking loved it.
Milan! Thanks, buddy! This was one of those tracks where I just tried something new and tried
to push myself out of my musical rut - Glad you liked it.
nutonium - Cheers, mate. I'm sure some Techno bods will pull it apart. I'm so tempted to add a
bass. I might add something as soon as I've tidied up this shithole of a studio.
rags - Yeah, the little dirty bit at the end of a kick adds a little something. Dirt, dirt, dirt! It's a
good thing in these days of computery clean. I've sampled some noise off my Analogue synths
and I mix it in with my Virtual synths to give them that 'something'. I guess the pulsating comes
from the filters on the percussion. I think I messed with the modulation of the cutoff and
resonance throughout the track. I guess that's what makes it. Real, live tweaking.
Cool! Thanks guys

now to the point... if you took few of those percussive elements and transposed them to bass, and added a 303 (or whatever) tweaky line, that'd be it i think.
i've certainly paid money for more underproduced music than this!
