Um.. I'm listening through and did have a notepad open in the background, taking notes on each song - but I kinda got distracted, so haven't made any notes these last few tunes.
I think it might help if you cut out what you think is questionable and let us focus on the good stuff.
Part of the reason I got distracted is that is that I'm actually quite enjoying the 'Sampled' stuff and forgot I was supposed to be 'analysing' it.
I'm going to go out on a limb here - the 'sampled' stuff is your more recent, better stuff? (*crosses fingers*) - it's just that I only have notes on the 'space travel made' songs, which are a mix of interesting concepts and ... well, I don't want to get specific just yet. But they're the songs I had the most problems with.
My only significant criticism of the 'sampled' stuff is that I recognise the samples from DJ Shadow et al and can't help drawing comparisons and wondering 'why?'. Also, I don't really listen to that type of music much any more, as it all started sounding a bit samey to me about 7 years ago (and, back when I and an old housemate fiddled around, making tunes - he'd always do looping sample stuff, and it annoyed me how he could eke good-sounding results from very little of his own creativity - just ripping other people's stuff off. = I slightly distrust it).
Just got to the Lamb remix now - anyone who likes and wants to modify Lamb is OK in my book :)
- y'know what? On this 3rd listening, the 'Space Travel Made' tunes are growing on me - they do have problems ..Nairn
- .. though - some of them down to 'mastering' problems, some down to repetitive, trite elements that bug me. ..Nairn
- .. others down to not pushing yourself as far as the tunes hint you can. I'll be specific tomorrow, if you like.Nairn
- - Music, more than design (for me) is much more personal - so please don't feel offended by anything I've said -Nairn
- - I'm really quite impressed!Nairn
