Reviews for "Finding That Something Special"
pitbulljones responds:
yarrrrr ped'. hehe aint made a 'long' tune for a while so its nice to be able to strect meself again. Liking me manc tones again haha, Innit. i wouldn't go as far as saying it's poetry, i did it in one take on the fly, got me acting shoes on.
ta man
Nice
The intro to this bugger was a bit irritating at times. Highpitched sinewaves stressing on the left ear.. ahah. Bu the rest of the tunes surlely makes up for the rest.
Don't get me wrong I thought the intro was pretty cool. The "first part" as you call it was great. Nice pads conflicting drums, come together nicely. Interesting little quirks and beeps in there.
The second part completely changes the song. I really liked the monologue bit, reminds me of mogwai, but with less guitar and delay. Great poetic lyrics.. .yeah nice :D
Ending works out nice and brings back the first part of the song. Overall great work Pitbull. Your one of my faves on this damn site ;D

hey sine' yea tis a bit drawn out that opening, suppose you have to think as if it was on an album track, i don't think the track would be at a loss without it, but it does have you second guessing. it really 'flew'this track, no messing about once i got running it kept going, love it when that happens. as mentioned previously i really aimed to make that contrast. between the beat and the mid section. I'm glad people are appreciating that part as it was a real gmable to go with my words. Mogwai...cool.
it makes me smile inside knowing that i bring joy to people with my music, always nice to be liked aint it. just incase anyways can't make out what im say too i'll put it here.
Thanks man pm me with owt you need reviewing

'Have you ever looked in someones eyes and known, seen something, that....it's just right.
and.... you can't put your finger on it.... You can't....understand it.......but it's there and it's real. You know what i mean?
I look at other people sometimes and i see things very differently.
Always in two's, always in pairs, holding hands....smiling....smiling....
there's not a care in the world for anyone else except them two.
it's special, so remember that, something special.'
Nice altogether.
The intro is a bit long, but it sounds weird and good. Then the real thing comes, the drums do sound cruncy. Is that a guitar? It souds good, but it's so low and distant in the mix it's kinda hard to hear. Piano chords fit great with the monolouge. That part sounds damn beautiful. I haven't heard the texture in the background anywhere, how did you make that synthish windish thing? Then it moves on picking up the middle part- a bit of a change for the ending would be good though. As I said, nice altogether.
hmmm
this deserves a long review "and" a special story line.
quick overview
vvvvvvvvvvvvvv
intro 0:00 / 0:52 - waking up in factory, brought to life.
early 0:53 / 2:31 - everyday life, emotionless cubical work, falling in line like a machine.
middle 2:32 / 4:17 - vocals (someone speaking on a bread-box or perhaps a worried friend talking to you)
end 4:18 / end - Stayed home from work, phone ringing off the hook, sitting on bed head in hands thoughtful and sad at same time.
for hole story see below
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
start/0:52 - Your on your back on a conveyor belt rolling through a dark factory, all you can see is black and white, machines piecing you together bit by bit as your carried along. Your not the only one in this factory.
0:53/1:41 - you awake in bed as if it was a dream, you get dressed, looking in the mirror you see your body is robotic and metallic.
1:42/2:22 - You head out your front door, you look around and see everything is mechanized to some extent or another and everyone is gray. You walk through the city to your work.
2:23/2:30 - you see an electric jack hanging in front of your work station, and you plug it into the back of your neck as you always have.
2:30/ 2:45 - Reality seems to simply fall away. Then you hear the voice of a stranger.
2:46/4:17 - you work while listening to the voice as if in a trance, you never payed it any mind really as it was always the same voice you've always heard, but this time it sounds different, after a while you lose your trance like state and listen, your vision turns blue, then green, then all the colors start to fall into place one at a time bringing color to your vision.
4:18/end - the metallic components of your body break off and fall to the floor. People are shocked as you run out of work shoving them out of the way, you run outside, the sky is gray with lightning and the buildings are metallic silver. The people stare at you with their soulless gaze. They to are all still gray and robotic. You run through the city shoving people out of your way as you escape, the electric jack is still stuck in the back of your neck, but no cable is attached to it.
Interesting!
To say at least. Strange beginning. An unanswered phonecall for no reason catched with a tad of wind...Anyways...like stated in the summary, this was fairly interesting. The soundquality of the tune was on a high level for sure and I enjoyed the changes you did thar. A bit repetitive for my taste but it's ambient stuff and it should underline something certain.
The vox were you I assume? They were nice in my opinion, well fitting for an monologue. Overall, I say...Sweet job to this pitbulljones! :)
5/5 from me!
pitbulljones responds:
Hey man many thanks for the review. hehe yea i intended for the long drawn out odd beginning, it's cost me some bit depth just to have it but what the heck. An unanswered phonecall, i'd never have thought that, but imagery is something i want my listeners to take from a tune so thats cool.
I was really worried about the compression involved when mixing this tune down, going down to 96kbps is never good but surprisingly as you have mentioned it's held up, i've had right disasters quality wise before. I suppose it's because a lot of this is midi based, and i've used eq and comp and limiting well, rather than throwing em in just to get volume.
Yea i do make kinda repetitive tunes, it's a problem of mine as i want vocals over the track, which would be the final layer to keep the repetition away a bit, but i have limited vocal talent sadly.
Yep the vocals are me, with my mancunian tones, I did that in one take, on the fly....nice to do a bit of acting as i havn't done in a while. I'm glad you like them, as it was very much a gamble to do it, seems it's paid off.
Thanks yet again for ur words, i'll hit you back as i noticed you have a new tune up.
