Lets call it...
experimental. It's been awile since I heard something like this. It has a little touch of indie-styled music but on the other side it is really "random" and wuh, confuses.
There a many effects in it, but it is well composed...it's not my kind of style, but I´m impressed so I give you a 5 for it.
Thanks - that was an awesome score - especially from someone with a completely different style - over the next few days or so I'll get over and have a listen to your stuff as well.
Exquisite.
LJ! My word friend, it's been a while.
We havn't spoke since you were screwing
around with that BOT of yours : - )
Nice work! Those crazed bongos were a nice
touch of diversity. The song had a sort
of strange yet organized ambient feel to it,
giving it a unique taste. I really enjoyed it.
LJ, lately i've been having some trouble. Well,
actually get online some time and I'll tell
you in person. Stay well my friend!

Hey Johnny! - I don't currently have anything installed but I'll get AIM back up and running I'll try to catch you over the next few days.
Thanks for the review - a few people have been commenting on the bongos - it's actually a tabla - a similar instrument.
I'll try to catch you online and I hope I can help out - will I need to come down to your neighborhood to help kick someones ass?
Talk to you later...
So fuckin' cool!
I loved this song!
Everything about it was so slightly off center, weird and chill and very upbeat yet relaxed...
The tabla was a very welcome addition to the heavy beats pounding throughout the song, and the ambient pads in the background were just right. However I felt like maybe it could have had a more definite lead, but that's my personal taste and this works just fine as is. Great work LJ, and it's nice to see you back submitting, and alive at all!

Thanks Admiral! - yep - I'm alive and I've decide that I needed to submit SOMETHING... I saw all of the new names floating around the BBS and it felt a little like I was fading into obscurity so I decided to start putting tracks up again and to make a post or two here and there - can't have NG forgetting about me!!
Talk to you later - and thanks again for the review! - I really don't deserve the scores you gave me ... but I'll take them just the same!
Amazing
You are one of the few NG artists to break out of my "From Internet" folder (ie, go pro).
Your stuff is consistently so varied and original. I cannot comprehend how you arrange your pieces, especially this one which I believe to be your best.
Its fresh, smart, and masterfully made. Not only great for the AudioPortal, but music in general. I especially love the guitar section, as its a great break and could be a fantatic loop itself (hint hint).
Now get working on your next piece! My ears want more!
Thanks Bacon!
ok, THIS one is now my favourite
I have serisouly been listening to this song for over an hour and a half, and I plan on continuing to listen to it for a while longer. It is just so ingenious and well done. I love your sudden stops with the beat and music, goes beyond the meaning of syncopation (well, cant spell it, but whatever). Your drums consist of too different styles, bongos for the background, and then the nice crips drums in front keeping the beat, and leading the song... until that awesome guitar comes in as the drums EQ out a bit, and just kicks ass. Seriously, what did you do to get that awesome guitar sound? And like, the mario sound coming out of the guitar part, confusing to understand where it came from, but it sounds great. And is that a choir sound? or strings, that i can here mainly at the intro and ourtro, but fade in and out throughout the song?
what is a tabla...
Oh teh NOeZ!! I'm really sorry that this response took months... I just didn't notice a new review! 0_o
Where did the guitar sound come from - a guitar silly! Also, a tabla is a percussive instrument - those warped little "bongo" like sounds are made with a tabla - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabla - :)
