Reviews for Rucklo - I Switch It On

[dj-padman1]

Yep, this hits the spot!

Wow, some excellent effects in this one, I'm loving what you're doing to those vocals.

It was very atmospheric and sophisticated and I imagine it took ages to program all those effects and edits!

I would have liked the beats to be a bit grittier and dirtier and I can hear distorted sounds in there which are cool, but the snare and kick could use some generous overdrive at times. Very nice fills and transitions though. I'm missing the mighty stabs which might tear up the joint on the first beat of new sections though. Again, thats just me, it's totally your call!

If you put in a wicked piano loop and some badass stabs in there it would sound like the triphop songs Linkin Park put in as the second last track in their albums!

P.S I hope to dear God you don't hate Linkin Park, I mean it as a compliment, anyway!

Rucklo responds:

Hi!
Yeah, the beat could probably have been a little more prominent, and like you say, stabs and transitions aren´t in there that much really... I figured the skratching would take care of that, but man, skratch gotta cooperate with the music :/
As for Linkin Park, I think they´ve done many good songs, but then again im not a lyric-listening person, more the music itself to be honest... And the instrumental tracks by Mr.Hahn are awsome :D

Thanx alot for a really good and critical review, it´s highly appreciated!!!
Keep your stuff coming (been listening alot to "Sinking Point Unit", i love that song!).

cool tune

i'm liking this man, the scratching is ace, i love a good scracth man, where are your samples from for the people speaking? the bass is suitably dark, which is always one of the things i look out for in a tune, yea im gonna give u a fiven and download for this. if you've never heard of dj shadow i'd advise you to go have a listen to his stuff u've got a similar style to him and early james lavelle. aka UNKLE. anyways keep it up

Rucklo responds:

Heyy!
Well, to be honest the skratching really sux ass, im not very good at it yet. Buut, just add some delay and echo, and it sounds allright :)
Dark stuff like UNKLE, dj shadow and the likes is an inspiration for the kind of music I want to do, with my twist, of course. My stuff aint sample-based, wich makes it very different in many ways. Its experimental in many ways, well at least for me, wich makes it really fun too!
I got the voice sample from a secret soap-ophera show on TV, recorded with my mic and MD, cleaned it up in cubase, burned it out and skratched it on my CDskratcher. takes a little while, but its worth the effort.
Thanx alot for the review man, ill check your stuff out as soon as i get to a comp that aint connected with dial-up(&/%&*^^*`=?#"

Poor rucklo :P

Well, you got my download, and after all that's all that's important, right?

Yeah, your overall downloads are a little suffering, but you have a very healthy ammount of reviews, which are worth their weight in gold.

I love your scratching, The style you used in this track makes it truely unique, and theres some awesome use of balance. I expected it to become a big, trancy/techno style track, but instead it stayed calm, with that awesome steady drum riff and that weird bassy pad behind it. I truely love this one. Great work.

Rucklo responds:

Holy crap, pity worked (finally) :D
Yea reviews are allways better than dl´s, kinda odd that ive suffered so much since ive kept active on the forum at least :/
Oh well, glad ya enjoyed the track though! Thanx alot for dropping a few lines mate!

SOO GOOD

This song was amazing,. The scrathes/ effects were very good and original. I loved the backround beat and that dark pad alot. This song is also very original, and has VERY good mastering and overally clarity.

Awesome job! And feel free to check my song out!

Rucklo responds:

Hey, glad you liked this song, man! Allways nice to see some response from something that took you severel hours to create :D

I´d love to go check out your music, but at the moment im at my parents, and until i go back home, i will be stuck on this not so very fast dial-up. I´ll check it out when I get back home.

Thanx alot for reviewing the song mate!
