my favourite piece i've heard from you , by far ...
focused , and tight , w/o pedantic repetition ... well crafted ... the main theme lingers long after the track has ended ... ----

 Yes, you certainly showed me! Both this and "Itch" were bassfests and I really enjoyed them. On "Swollen", I thought the two higher basslines (the initial one and the arpy discoish one) worked brilliantly. Alternating between them and occasionally combining them gave the track a lot of energy.
Having an independent sub-bassline really surprised me. After careful listening, I can see how it runs underneath and compliments the higher ones. But it wasn't initially obvious to me what the sub-bass was doing and it may have made the track a little murky at times. |

I don't really do or listen to electronic music, but this makes me feel like looking into it more. Thanks very much for listening and for the great comments, Shangsean. Glad you liked it
Now I've had a late-night driving and an arcade racing reference. The field is narrowing. Maybe you could combine your penchant for producing OST-style orchestral style music with more obvious electronic instrumentation. It might be a good fit for the games market. |

Hey seismic, great track, truly a great way to start the new year.
Love the simplistic yet driving and full groove. The synths are really hipnotic, they grab your attention, the chords, everything. Brilliant! Thanks man |

Thanks very much for listening and for the comments, folderol. Glad you enjoyed it
Most of the addition has already taken place by 4:40 apart from the amphetamine pads and the Permut8 accents. For best results I would advise a reasonably high volume  |

nice work with the synths...fine job mixing...over all cool production you have here.
Seems like everything fits really well, your hard work shows. I hate when I sound like a fortune cookie. 
Cheers! |

But it wasn't initially obvious to me what the sub-bass was doing and it may have made the track a little murky at times. The next track has some doubled basslines too, I think, but they are somewhat different in style to those here. I'm having problems loading the project into EnergyXT right now. It was made on my old XP machine 30 months ago in an older version of eXT (2.5.3). The current versions (2.7beta and 2.6) seem to corrupt parts of the project. I'm currently trying to work around that showstopper 
Glad you enjoyed this, FranzM |

I went through an extreme version of this recently. I decided I wanted to redo a few of my oldest tracks that were done in Cubase going as far back as 1999. I still had the original files which just had MIDI data stored in Cubase's project format. Not only do I not use Cubase anymore, I found out the current version of Cubase can't read the old format. Fortunately someone on the Cubase forum had the old version of Cubase running and was able to extract the MIDI for me. From now on, I am going to always keep a MIDI version of every song since that is the only universal format. |
