very smooth and unique blend of.. uh spacechrap! it's as if infinity shred and noisewaves had a baby and that baby threw away all both bands' acoustic instruments and bought a tr808. real nice to have this one playing in the background.

I love you. But I think 808 samples doesn't fit to your music. Everybody uses it, but I think it's too sharp, straight for your music. You should look for some more gentle, light samples. Try some old preset drummachines like AceTone Rhythm or Korg Donca Matic (Minipops), or some drumsamples from analog toy keyboards (casio MT40, casioMT800, CasioPT...)

hey ryba -- thanks for the input!
couple of things: first off, the samples aren't all 808 samples >_> a lot of them were some lex luger (he produced waka flocka flame stuff (so yeah basically 808 but I'm clarifying)) samples drenched in too much reverb and other miscellaneous things. I'm planning on grabbing a tascam pretty soon so I can make my own samples out of WHATEVER I WANT
I also really like the sharpness of the samples! they give a lot of definition to my music that I've never had before, and I'm kind of obsessed with it now. I've always struggled with how much fx stuff I could get away with in my pure chip recordings, and most of the time a lot of the dynamics were lost because you couldn't hear the percussion. so I like it now! but I have a full-length under space town savior coming in the future that will probably be more your style

Also I reject the idea that chip sounds need crappy drum machines. I think the mix sounds great.

Wonderful as always, spacetown.
(Especially those last two tracks, holy wow. Very moving!)

I don't mean crappy drum machines. I mean some less usual samples and more lightweight samples. I mentioned some examples and these drummachines / keyboards doesn't have crappy sound in any way. Just different and more gentle, pleasant. I just think this kind of sound could fit to spacetown's music much more.
e.g. Mr Oizo used some Minipops rhythms for his Last night a DJ killed my dog song (which I like a lot):

I think that snare is mind-blowing
