My Feedback

Music - 7.5
Instruments - 8
Performance - 8
Mix - 7.5

Overall - 7.75

Comments: Love the wah bass. Appears to be a loop for about half the track. Then it seems to drift into some subtle variations before resuming. I guess this is kind of a beat? Personal preferences, top line and kick to cut through a little more. Have you considered adding some kind of rap or lead line to this track? Kind of screams out for it.

a tad sub-bass heavy, making the low end muddy. i do like the percussion. lower that bass and the high end will cut through better as well.

Many thanks for listening and advice, had a little listen to Baby Cart/Lone wolf and cub/ Shogun assassin this morning and added a few bits and pieces, plus dropped the bass to around 8 and increased DRM to 10.
Thanks to both of you for the tips and advice, hope it sounds better

your drunken monkey is no match for my wu tang style!

love any old school kung fu reference, so im in!

the updated version, nice piece, could easily imagine someone spittin' rhymes over this. bit of a late night drive through a rainy city feel to it

has an air of nightmares on wax about it, if slightly darker

Many thanks,
I will use my Shaolin Buddha Finger,

I dropped it, oh me and my Buddha fingers

Any comparison to Nightmares on Wax is

still dig out the old stuff when I get a chance
This was a hark back to those early days

And a lot of the early Depth Charge, Mr Kirk etc was my GOTO in my roller disco days

So I've been attempting to imitate using freeware synthesisers instead of samples.
Not sure how successful, but can only try.
Rainy days, I remember them

Whilst listening to this, I kept seeing images from Guy Ritchie's "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" in my mind's eye. I guess that would make this suitable for some sort of OST application.

Good work

Yeah, listening this leads me into a good meditative mood,
especially the repeating "bass-morf" is very prominent.
The last third changes a little - here you break
the meditative flow for a short time.

Nice relaxing groove - good to listen.

Are drunken monkey like this?

Thankyouverymuch for listening and commenting

The mediative bit

The drunken monkey style, is me trying to externalise my own feeling and attitude. I sometimes picture myself as a bit loose in terms of what I babble on about

and still feel that my balance in life is better than it really is

and I'm very proud of my tails, I tells, to you and whoever will listen

Oh, & often I talk gibberish/a lot of bollox, but you may have already noticed that

Plus, I very much likey the old kungfu films

This is another great track for unwinding to. I love the bass...
Well done!

If Funk Monkey wasn't taken a million times i would say Drunk Funk Monkey lol.

Good bassline but too repetitive, IMHO. i see you switched it up, but if you tossed them back and forth earlier i wouldn't have grinded my teeth making myself listen to it

sorry, no offense, justa lesson i have learned after being called a newb for being too repetitive so many times,.

Strong style you have, i like the control you have but wild sense of tonality.

All in all, i would really enjoy this more if the basslines were swapped back and forth, possibly with a drop every 45 seconds or so, at the end you drop it and i feel you could just copy/paste that into the after-intro and mid-section and make it feel more alive.

Overall great Concept, hope you don't take offense, my suggestions have been praised by a lot of people in Image-Line Forums for doing drops and filter sweeps, so i suggest you do the same. Cheers m8

It has that late nineties, lazy, ninja tune thing going on. Sounds good.
