I like that you're interpreting the album art  ^__^

(The cover art is really nice)

****Decompression

The kick is really snappy, I like it.

The arp sound that comes in between 0:17 and 0:18 could have a better tuning (maybe by using exactly the same note as the “leading arp” in the right ear.

Keys are fucked at 1:21, also at 1:28, 1:46  etc… (there is one chord that doesn’t fit with the other) Maybe you did this on purpose and it’s ok but you could have found a better chord than this one (musically speaking)

The sound before the breakdown is nice, and I like the mood that comes in…

I like the noise work in the second part

I like the structure of the song but maybe the climax of the song happen to soon then goes on more relax. (I personnaly like it… but it’s less common).

****Metal Arm

Perfect 10/10 (I like everything about this song, it’s so good man)

****Shuttle

I like the distorded lead and the bassy pluck sound in the right ear but I would like to hear more melodies from both instruments. The “delay” on the main arp is great.

I also like the “broken” beat. I would have liked to hear the main arp stopping somewhere to hear just the distorted lead and pluck with the beat.

Overall, I really enjoy the sounds, but it seems like the song is never really starting. It’s cool though.

****Bodies floating in gravity zero

The bassline is beautiful. I will say it again… the bass line is fucking awesome. I like the opera-ish sound too.

I’ve got nothing to say about this one, another great song.

****In the frenzy…

This is experimental music. The beginning up until 1:30 is awesome. The noise beat in the left ear + the kick and the noise in both ear is really punchy (and very creative). After that it’s so bad (bad in a good way)” I like when it’s dark. It feels a bit empty cause the noise beat never comes back (maybe using some noise to highlight some part of the melody would be cool, I don’t know, it’s just an idea). I like the clumsy melody that starts at 3:23.
It feels a bit long but it change enough so it’s ok, but more variation in the bass pattern would have been cool. I would have stop the song at 4:10, after that, it become less interesting and a bit repetitive (in my opinion).

Overall, you make a really good use of the pan (it reminds me that I should stop being lazy with this command…) and every song has a nice L/R balance with the instruments. I also enjoyed the noise work, specially with high frequency sounds (the “ting” sounds… you know instead of “tss”). Good use of tempo change. You should try making beats in 3:4 for fun.

That’s it man. Thanks for the good music!

I also think that writing some review is important because it is ultimately the only feedback we can get on our music. I also think that sharing opinions, ideas, and suggesting alternative technique/sound/structure can be interesting and fun. I also think that it's a good way to give something in return for the good music we hear and it's also a important part of being a music community.
