Thanks Kinetic. I'm glad you're able to fully appreciate all the sonic elements, haha. I have this weird tick where I MUST completely fill/muddy up the spectrum or the song feels incomplete.

I absolutely hate and despise chip-jazz. I am generally somewhat queasy about the FM Genesis sound (especially the bass and drums). I like that talky-wav-bass-sound in LSDJ. I like really deep bass sounds in a movie score. I like the sound of turning pages.
I started out that way about the FM sounds but kind of grew to appreciate them a bit. Especially when I heard George & Jonathan's newest.... which has a little of that but makes it wayy more accessible.
And I really like Ubik/Pause's jazzy stuff.

Re: My Band's EP (13 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I like the songwriting and the lyrics are alright (sometimes bordering on clever) buuut I'm not big on the vocals. Too much of that chest-y tonally-accurate 'ouuhHhHhHh' with overly clear white-dude-annunciation. Go off pitch more! And the autopan on "shoo-bop" is annoying in that one song.
Guitar/bass/drums are good.
'Just You' from your demo thing is probably my favorite out of everything and works okay as a worship tune.
EDIT: and yeah... everyone has a pretty good point about posting this on a forum called 'chipmusic'...

Doogie piano is a good example of a sound used as a bad cliche- to me, there are no good/bad sounds, only good/bad contexts to put them in. Since I started off with FM synths and midi, I've used the doogie piano and don't mind it. I've also used the sonic-ring bell and the seinfeld slap bass.
The problem with any sound that becomes a famous cliche is that if you don't use it in a way that the listener thinks is refreshing, that listener will be bored and move on. Doesn't matter if it's a synth, a drum set, or a guitar, a harmonica, accordion, whatever.
I guessss I agree. MOST of the time I hear that specific DX-7 patch I really really hate the context though. I like FM synthesis, just not that specific sound.
