The drums feel a bit out of synch,. But you could call it messy/dirty electro :yes:

Gotta agree there's some strange offbeats on the bass drum, but other than that, very nice indeed!

:lol: It's a patterns thing, humans like patterns, I'm sure if I listened to it about 10 times, I'd get to anticipate the off-beat and notice if it wasn't there ;)

Doesn't have to be generic at all, you asked why people don't like oddbeats, I answered, that's all, I even stated at the time that once familiarity has grown, it wouldn't be nearly as much of a problem.

Try writing in 3/4, then you have to fight the generic monster every step of the way, trust me on this.

Interesting albums. I don't think your "trance" stuff is heavy enough--but that's my opinion. Using stronger beats there sets the mood.

Thank you for clarifying you don't want to do it. Honestly, all the spam from everyone screaming "MAEK FL SONG NAO!!!111" Is getting really irritating. In any case, it's definately one of your more interesting pieces of work.

Edit: Although, Finding Purpose has, is, and always will be my favorite.

I'm my own harshest critic to be honest, it's worse writing for a Mod or the like, because it's not just 'you' that you are writing for. That makes the job a lot harder.

I had a crack at the FS2 Theme a long time ago, but I don't have the MP3 any more, and even if I did, I wouldn't post it, it was pretty iffy by my standards nowadays :(

Yes that is a good one, 'cept once I was listening to it while the comic I was reading happened to come to a sad part.  Really increases the  :( factor.

Sounds like something that could've come from DDR, but then, a lot of these songs do too. ;)
