Made this a little while back. I named it Automaton because I could envision a robot dancing to this. I took it down but decided to resubmit it for robot day. Don't worry, it was made this year :)

edit: I felt like it was a little too repetitive so I went in and changed almost nothing. You'll notice some of drum rhythms have rests :p

edit edit: wooaahhh, robot day swag. sweet deal :)

I remember when you released this, I listened to it a whole bunch.
Quirky, angular, robotic; such a weird mashup of styles but you make it work so well. That muted trumpet + piano combo for the intro is just *chef's kiss*.
Still a bop, glad I found it again after all this time. Keep rocking the free world.

Thank you for remembering this! Got some new dnb this year/last year, maybe worth checking out?

It got better

Judging from the score and the first minute, I wasn't expecting that much. I guess I'm just so used to listening to songs that has scores of well over 4.30. This actually turned out to be a lot better than I thought. It isn't until around 1:21 that it really gets good. It's mostly because this is the time where the music starts to get creepier. It mostly struck me as weird before, but this was when it got into real emotion.

It could probably use more variety at first, but it's well worth the wait. I like how it just seems to be going all over the place with this music. You can get a sense of random things going on and just being shot out everywhere. It's simply a cool feeling. It could probably use some more variety after it reaches the good part, because it goes on a bit too long.

Quarl responds:

I completely agree with you/everyone else who has commented on the repetition but my lazy production habits make me the kind of guy who refuses to open up old project files to make them better :/

Awesome :)

I'm loving this. Really cool and energetic. I'm putting this on my iPod. 5, 10, DL'd.

Really interesting

... and different from the rest. I like it, and I feel like I should kinda reward the effort and creativity with a higher rating, but it kind of gives me a headache, and it's still somewhat repetitive.

Quarl responds:

Thanks for the honest review sir. Despite not liking the song you were really nice about it. Thanks :)

I love it!, when the beat comes and you just make everything go crazy with that laser sound crossing from one speaker to the other, fuuuioooo fufufuoooofiiuu! you know what I mean. Nice piano, nice saxo, but I didn't like the intro, Anywayy good job!

Quarl responds:

lol, no one likes the intro :p
