Congratulations everyone, such a great release. Well worth the wait!!

This is sounding pretty good! The bass does sound a little quiet so you could probably turn the vol. up on it a little bit. The percussion stuff is really clear and sounds good, but you may try experimenting with different rhythms, and maybe even different sounds as well.

Hope this helps, good work so far. Cheers man!

Not bad guys! 2 things I'd like to point out, if I may:
1) Don't overuse arps to the point of it sounding monotonous. There weren't too many cases of this though.

2) In addition, it would be great to hear different ways in which different instruments can harmonize together as well as play solo, to help keep it fresh. For example:  1:51-2:03 was a cool shift from the upbeat drumming heard previously, but I felt the abundance of arps in the chip (was this NES or LSDJ you were using?) sound weighed this section down just a tad.

Regardless, you guys are sounding good so far, looking forward to the rest!

Cheers!

I didn't know this has been out for a month already. Derp. xD.

Regardless, Doxic, this is really nicely done. I feel as though this album really pushes atmosphere and openness as opposed to closed space and more concrete song structure. I'm usually not a fan of that, but what you have come up with is very charming and simply irresistible.

Excellent, excellent work. Also, I would to share this on my FB page, if I may. smile

Actually, I think I'm getting pcb and just the screen mixed up. Nevermind me. X_X

I wish people would stop using that fad known as the Internet and start releasing physical shit again. This record in 12" would be the shit.

Oh man, if I lived in NYC I'd be all over this. Kick a bunch of ass guys.

My debut EP titled Battle Jazz Classics is out now on Bandcamp. It is Name Your Price until the 26th of December.

The name Battle Jazz came from Mikeeteevee on noisechannel who called one of my tracks as such. I liked the term so much that it became my album title smile. Hope you all like it!

IAYD/Sievert split. Really pricey tho.

Personally, I'm trying to do most of my promotion/show booking/composing(obviously)/record production/everything basically, as DIY.

If a record label offered me a contract to sign with them, then they would have to a trustworthy label that has their interests in promoting me and my music and image, what have you, and not some greedy corporate pigs that want to use me to make a bunch of money.

I'm getting better at writing more frequently, and I've learned that working towards a deadline can actually help with this in some cases, though it depends on the situation of course. I would not be opposed to doing something like: 2 full lengths in 3 years with consistent touring and getting paid a reasonable amount to do so. And, like defPREMIUM said, as long as the label making the offer is genuinely interested in ME and My Music and interested in helping me grow as an artist (kind of like a mentor of sorts), then they have my attention and would be willing to negotiate a deal.

Until that day comes, I'm staying DIY as much as possible. Thankfully, with websites like this one, ucollective, noise channel, soundcloud, bandcamp, and the internet in general, it has been easier to get your music across to the general public than it used to be. So, we'll see!

I wish I could've gotten a spot last year, but I'm hoping to get my shot at it this time! So excited!!

I would like to submit something for this. I have something very spastic in mind for it.
