Getting kind of sci-fi here, and I really went overboard with the samples.
It's like if George Clinton and Arjen Lucassen collaborated on a funk electronica piece after watching The 13th Floor on nonstop repeat for three weeks.
Freesound…
I went a little sample crazy this year for the RPM challenge. (This song is the tip of the iceberg, and then it gets far worse.)
Thematically, I guess this one resulted from spending a month between the hospital and a rehab facility last year…

Every detail here has been carefully considered and harmonized in relation to the final result. This orchestration intellectual leaps immediately to our perception alerting our affective memory connected to the long journeys hearing of the pleas of progressive music we all had heard for sure. Incredibly great!

Spun around like a seer's needle
A philosopher so lost in his riddle
Tries to speak but no longer able
Drifting in the deepest dream

This one took me a while [years!] to complete - how did it come out?

Different! Me likes different! The intro is strong but when the drums come in, they're non produced. If there's Bass, it's hard to tell. more bottom and big on the drums working together on that riff I think, would sound awesome. Vocal levels are not consistent. Great vocal though, I'm a fan!

Not sure what genre this would fit into:
Experimental Corporate Gothic Steampunk Electro-folk? (Although, I guess the 'experimental' is sort of implied by the rest of the name.)

It started out as a tribute to the old sci-fi movie, "The Quiet Earth", and became something else.

I picked this because I wrote an electronica song named ether a few years back. I love the synth textures you have used here, and that noise and the ethereal sounds really add a sense of mystery. Cool track!
This appeals to my inner geek. (Okay, maybe not so inner..)
It's like if you took Aesop Rock, and put him into a B-rated sci-fi movie or an Atari video game.
This song was created by [Bilian](http://foreshadows.net/musicians/bilian) and is track 5 of the multimedia anthology, Foreshadows: The Ghosts of Zero. This song inspired a story of the same name, written by [Joe Rixman](http://foreshadows.net…
Title track of my new project, as my other group? The Seven Spiders. This song is experimental dub influenced chamber music, I am exploring the possibilities of humour in music trying to make the music itself amusing ... if that makes any sense…
Yeah - you can tell there is some microtonal hijinx going on here. It's definitely in something other than the Western 12 note even temperament.
While it sounds a little alien, there is an odd charm to it. My brain on some level acknowledges there are harmonic/melodic relationships going on here.
This is a track from the second Luna Trick CD, Hoar Frost Sheen. For the religious among us, it is not an anti-christian song - it simply rails against church crimes and a history of religion-inspired hatred. Let me know what you think. Thanks…
I like the second layer of almost ethereal vocals that kind of do acoustic acrobatics with the left and right channels. It adds another layer to the folk song.
This is really nice stuff - very atmospheric. It reminds me of Tangerine Dream or Jean-Michel Jarre.
(I remember CoolEdit. Great application - without it, we never would have seen Adobe Audition.)
After defeating the Denebians, humans credit their all-knowning Multivac computer for the victory. But inside the computer, what do the humans tasked with feeding information into it do when given unreliable information? The sound of a flipped…
I'm liking what I've heard of this album so far. It has an early Tangerine Dream sort of vibe to it. You couldn't possibly pick a better subject material to base the songs on.
Believe it or not, I was sitting in a hotel room reading Tolkien when I came up with this. Actually, the amazing thing is that I actually remembered enough of it when I got home a week later. Needless to say, this took a lot of time to record…
I like the little time-signature shifts and genre channel-surfing you do here. It's easy to tell that you really enjoyed making this - it shows in the results.
Wow. This album improves greatly from beginning to end - the last few tracks are fantastic. I like how you veer towards more electronica on some tracks, while other tracks have an almost Evanescence sort of vibe to them.

MiniMoog? Great!

Yes , i do like what i hear , everything and including the kitchen sink
Love it, Michael!!
Sorry, I just left a message with no name. Best of luck, Dave T.

:) Production sounds good, clean!!
Nice one very cool.
I re-recorded Proteus [I] to try and get the levels better. How does it sound now? Any feedback would be appreciated.
the more i listen to ur stuff, the more I like!!
hypnotic
Really love your sound on this tune
what kind of keyboard are you using? wicked guitar
Killer Synths & vocals....really nicely done. love the arps
Freaky!! and totally wicked.
Cool and sci-fi creepy
Great ambiance and tones here. I love the kaleidoscope of sounds.

This rocks - I'm hearing a strong New Order/Depeche Mode vibe to this.
I really like the clarity of the percussion here - everything sounds as clear as a pin dropping.
Wow. Just wow.
I like the layered streamed&strummed guitars here. The two play well off each other. The stereo effects create a sense of space and depth.
The mix sounds absolutely perfect in every way. I am soooooo jealous.

I'm really impressed with the mastering on your RPM 2012 album. It sounds very professional. Every instrument sounds crisp and clear.
I like the genre-blending going on here - it creates a very unique end result.

[ROFL] The dangers of trying to write music during girl scout cookie season. I'm more of a Tagalong fan myself. =)
I'm in shock that this is your RPM Challenge album. The whole thing sounds very professional - the vocals/songwriting/mastering. It's all good.

Love the vocals here -- they have a Celtic-vibe to them.
Nice! I love the synths at the very beginning. I was working on something else on my computer, and they completely grabbed my attention.

I'm digging the high sustained notes in the chorus. (Wow.)
I like how you juxtapose the electronic and more loud rock elements here.
