Thanks for the kind words folks, much appreciated :)

I think you nailed the breakdown, love when it comes back in. Great tune.

Aggressive.

This interesting and very clever. Most enjoyable!

Great job on this one! Keep it up. :)

See what happens when you start clowning around :D This is really something. I have to listen again.

nice! I like how this one turned out!

Yes- I think you hit the proverbial nail on the freakin' head with this one. Love the beat and that crunchy bass

I do love dancy rhythm. It does it for me!

yeay! love it! you are quite the sound sculptor, amigo.

Digging the glitchy bits and the synths!

what is the bpm for Mr. Palmer?

Took a few hours to make. For example a lot of fades are hand drawn automation and the whole thing is 540 bars long so that took a while even though I can copy & paste automation data in Logic. The 05:00 mark I went a bit mad with the filter resonance. I have a version where I clean that up a little and it sounds better I think. I might replace the online version.

So how long did this take DAMN - an alarm went off just as I started typing LOL - 5 minutes in! So as i was about to say - this is intriguing and the fade-ins/outs and those watery textures make it fun. It's a long way off my beaten track but still in my jungle ... it's getting to the stage now where I'll have to pick up a guitar ...

I'd like to build a song around Mr. Palmer.

love the rhythmic malfunctions. inspiring.

! Um...I can't believe you put a massive disclaimer on this! Incredibly well played, Sandbags!

I don't have a lot of time this morning but it's definitely time for you to stop being so modest. This totally deserves a more pretentious description. How about (in a deep announcer voice): a post-modern sonic exploration of the contemporary kick drum. :-)

Well you know on further listening I do find things to like in this. I'm inclined to give the process another go (maybe with a slightly shorter time frame) and think more about structure. Thanks again for your comments folks.

This will maybe sound crazy, but I can hear just adding low drone in places and then a big ominous synth wash over the top. Don't trash it- it's got a lot of possibility!

Enjoyed that :)

There's something warm about this despite it being a little disorienting to listen to and, yes, some nice squelchy sounds :)

@MMI: Boite Diabolique seems to be quite good at creating those kind of movements. It just seems to naturally fall out of working with it. In fact it might be difficult to avoid them :)

I really like choirs and wanted to add something to this track but originally what I had in mind was a low, held, choral "rumble" to add something organic but ominous. But I couldn't make that work and ended up with these chopped swells drifting in and out instead. Not the same effect at all.

@MTC: lol... thank you

@bethan: probably i need about 50' clearance all around!

Just got around to listening to this and I think your mojo is intact because it's really lovely.

Big noise, I like it!

Growling and full of foreboding. Feel more like hiding behind the sofa than dancing though :)

There is stretching involved but not using Paulstretch. I could never make that thing work for me. With this piece I liked how the click ticks turned into something like breathing.

Lovely to drift along to.

Fun track.

Great track... how many Marlboro's do you smoke to get that voice!?

Great sound mix, love the guitar in there.

Great song.

I'm really enjoying your tracks. Not just the sound but also the kind of relaxed style that seems to totally unlike my own stuff. Excellent.

Love this one, great sound, raw feel, and it that a banjo?

Enjoying your sound.

Lovely, dreamy, sweet sound.

This feels like the soundtrack to "Buck Rogers in the 21st century" re-imagined by Ronald D. Moore. Kudos.
