Score: 9
"Glacialization"
date: November 9, 2007
Once again, nice buildup in the intro. I love slowly progressing pads to lead into the intro. and the soft ethnic percussion hits(in the intro I think the conga/bongos were a tad too quiet-i know you like using subtle drums from the sound of some of your tracks but these were too inaudible). I love the wobbly synths(reminds me of penguins! :D) and the muffled, echoed, distant tone-sounds like a huge open ocean in the middle of nowhere.
the glitchy(for lack of a better word) are truly kickass and i love the feel of them in here. the abstract bassline melody is a terrific idea..shaker works wonders with the drumbeat.
the track never truly kicked in really-but it adds some uniqueness-just like a glacier-through the ice caps melting-to the sexually active penguins of Antartica.
the synth around 3:35 is a sweet addition too...i like the basic ending. some more feedback fading pads kinda like around 3:30 would be a nice append in here as well. lovely track SBB. diverse combination of ideas = win

I feel a bit lost lol, cause I don't know of an instrument called "glitchy". If you mean them drums, prolly cause I had no idea how do make good drum patterns, so they sound sorta random.
Thanks for teh reviewo <3
