lessee if I can put some words down on what I just heard from you cats
1. Laguna Rising - totally fun with a HUGE production. Just a tremendous amount of work here on the sequencing. The Piano solo in the middle was particularly impressive
2. bluerobot - this feels like late 20th-century art music . . . until the beat comes in. Then; I'm strolling around the streets while back in the 21st with my microdose and a VR headset on. If anything, perhaps dial-back the reverb to allow the instruments to become more clear
3. farlukar - completely in the moment with the whole "Cyborg" spirit/tip. You get points for taking the musical challenge and executing it in such a literal way. Respect (particularly for the time spent sample slicing)
4. Hellfog - I did put the headphones on as directed and did not know that they could reproduce such low tones. Whoa . . . @ 1:15 the middle feels a bit lost as the blips and bleeps seem to overwhelm the undercurrent - which is why the arp bit @ 2:45 seems so delightful. Well done
5. ClaRago - charming use of a counter-melody and of sequencing. Would have enjoyed it more with a bit more variation in the dynamics of the instrument lines. Kind of got static and machine-like as it developed
6. donkey tugger - lovely Oasis-like chords with the requisite dramatic string section. Terrific drum programming . . . but where's the melody ? I suspect this one is the bones of something you're singing over at some point further down the road
7. rollasoc - beautiful tone on that simple GTR line. I'm torn about this one as I adore the simplicity . . . but wish it went somewhere
8. sfiks - this is the type of thing I would expect to hear with this month's theme. Expected to hear more of, to be honest. Wish this had a "story" to tell beyond it's cleverness. Really liked the bits out-of-time from the main rhythm
9. beanpole - great drums. I like the change @ 1:40 and how the piano leads into it

1. Donkey Tugger - Unfeasible Bugger - Well worked tune. Just needs vocals and the Glastonbury crowd would go wild.
2. Farlukar - Rando.m - Surprisingly this actually works. Hopefully, this will make millions, then I can chase you for my cut.
3. ClaRago - Sunshine - Interesting, I can see this as a theme tune to a kids telly show.
4. Mister Natural - Amuse Bouche - A slow builder, this is the sort of thing I'll stick on spotify when I'm coding.
5. Hellfog - Cyborg Intermission Day One - Starts beautifully, like a soundtrack, not sure about the creaks at 1:12.
6. Feels alow in the mid section before the end sequence kicks in. Feeling very chilled afterwards.
7. Bluerobot - Machine Dream - Menacing start, very chilling tune.
8. Laguna Rising - Dgtal Xtasy - I really need to start using my vocaloid more. Very Euro pop.
9. Beanpole - Digital Moonshot - Enjoyable tune. A slow burner, Nice to see someone holding out with a myspace page. I eeven went to look for nostalga's sake.
10. sFiks = A matter of dispute - Music for Moomins (but in a good way).
