Jammer Group: Members Posts: 643 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Mar. 15 2005, 17:47 I quite liked it. Better than most remixes of Mike's music that I've heard I don't remember what bits Edo wrote, but to either of you: I thought the lead synth's portamento was a bit too slow. I was instantly reminded of the nauseating synth section from 'Secrets' The only other fault I spotted was that the bass near the beginning wasn't in time. Again, this might have been to do with speeding up Edo's material. Production was generally top-notch! Mike's current style of music is most suitable for dance remixes. It worked well Back to top

olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: Mar. 15 2005, 20:52 My night club days are behind me now, but my personal observations are that the bass line needs to be harder and continuous. Around the 3:30 mark (ish), as a dance track the bass needs to continue, or hit harder with the chord splash. Overall, up to the very high standards I'm used to from both edo and Booster. Excellent. -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top

MusicallyInspired Group: Musicians Posts: 1445 Joined: June 2001 Posted: Mar. 16 2005, 00:27 It's good. I like it, Booster. Nice job. Quality is excellent. Sounds a little repetative, but that's ok. If this was played actually in a club or something I doubt anyone would notice as much, being in a 'dance' mood and not a 'let's listen to this and give an informative review' mood  . -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things.

Alan D Group: Members Posts: 3670 Joined: Aug. 2004 Posted: Mar. 16 2005, 05:26 I wrote some comments in the thread about Edo's original version of this, explaining how a slight timing problem made me feel uneasy for the first half minute or so - but that I loved the rest of the piece. My problem, here, is that those timing difficulties now seem greatly exaggerated. Does no one else notice this? The fluid little pipe-like tune seems to be doing its own thing, regardless of what the other instruments are doing, and my ears/brain won't reconcile the conflict between them. Although I've tried to listen to this right through to the end, after several attempts I'm sorry to say that I can't. So I'm really sorry - I love this tune and I love (most of) what Edo did with it; but I can't enjoy this one at all because of the timing issue. Maybe I need an ear transplant? Or a brain transplant?

MusicallyInspired Group: Musicians Posts: 1445 Joined: June 2001 Posted: Mar. 16 2005, 15:36 I'm pretty sure that problem is due to the instrument sample itself. Since it's probably a fade-in sound and not an abrupt-start sound it gives the illusion of out-of-time-ness. The notes are starting on the right timing but they have to have time to fade-in because that's what the original instrument sounds like on it's own so it sounds that way. Yes it can get annoying sometimes.. -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things. If all the world was blue there would be no colour blue."

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Mar. 16 2005, 17:20 It's the portamento that's I think what's causing that. Shifting it forwards by perhaps 20ms or so should do the trick. I like this one generally, though. I don't find it any more repetitive than the original version. In fact, I feel that additions like the resonant synth parts give it more movement. I love the bass sound and the pattern it plays, though I'd prefer to hear it change to follow the chord progression - I think it would help to bring everything together a little more, with the bass part really supporting the others. It combines nicely with the percussion parts though, I think the whole thing has a nice 'slam' to it (to use a highly technical term ). I don't personally mind the fact that the bass line doesn't continue the whole way through - I like that, actually! The loud chord stabs don't quite work for me though - I think I'd have put them on the first beat of each bar...conventional perhaps, but that's my feeling! They sound a bit accidental as they are, possibly also partly because they're fairly high in the mix. Nice one nevertheless! Back to top

Korgscrew: The chord stabs in house music (which was inspiration for this tune) they put them in the middle or in the quarter of a bar...dunno it worked for me thanks all for your reviews -------------- http://www.djbooster.net Back to top
