Eucaryote: Also, there's a political undercurrent (or overcurrent, if you will) to my music. Sometimes that's the intention from the beginning, but other times I realize the aspect when I'm finished composing the track.

It's tough to say, but I think Bit Shifter's "Strange Comfort" is definitely up there.

Well, you seem like a really nice guy and reading my message again, I feel bad for getting my teeth out so quick. See, much of today's music is so lazy in the making compared to the efforts that go towards self-promotion, I can't help but turn red.

I didn't mean to establish a final judgement on what you do. I'm just puzzled by your approach to music and wish someone could explain what I'm missing.

Oh. Well, think of what I do as a learning experience in action. I'm learning of what LSDJ can do and how I can manipulate it to do what I want it to do. Every day I found out some technique I hadn't learned before (or hadn't known how to do before). So you can think of my output as an open learning process.

Also, I try to focus on melody.

Does that answer your question?

*raises hand*

Edit: In case that was too ambiguous, the hand raise was an indication of assent to proceed to the "Opened Microphone".

This Pulsewave was so awesome I stayed until the end. I hardly ever do that.

Update: Remember when I said the deal on the album being $5 ending on Feb 1st? Well, as luck would have it, the phone and internet service at my household was lost on Mon, Jan. 30. I just got it back today. In the spirit of generosity, I will leave the $5 minimum price tag up there until Saturday, Feb. 4 at 7:00PM EST. Then the prices return to normal.

It's okay. Probably a bit too slow and repetitive for my tastes...But that's just my opinion.

i don't really think many people do ALBUMS well, uh, but lots of people do collections of barely related songs

But an album is, by definition, a collection of songs. If they were in any way connected, we'd have a concept album. If they were connected in such a way that they told a story, we'd have a specific type of concept album called a Rock Opera (Chip Opera?).

Besides, Bit Shifter's Information Chase is one of the most cohesive albums I've ever listened to in chipdom.

It actually is. It's a tribute to Information Chase, the album I FREAKING MEANT AND YOU KNOW I MEANT. B-)
