you think it's that good? I pretty much write that album off. Doesn't have the soul of the other two. It's a remix album though so whatev. Just not the way I see mathandscience.

I enjoyed it. You gotta remember that when you listen to your own stuff, you're automatically biased. It was nice to listen to while I worked yesterday.

you're the one who reviewed two M&S albums in less than 50 words total

How am I supposed to even know what the music sounds like

The Batlord 09-29-2016 06:34 PM

Do you seriously live in a tent without walls?

Mondo Bungle 09-29-2016 06:37 PM

well I strapped some blankets down over the holes

YorkeDaddy 09-29-2016 07:00 PM

Does typing Mondo's name in this thread instantly summon him like some sort of ritual thing

Mondo Bungle 09-29-2016 07:02 PM

it was like the third to last post

Mondo Bungle 09-29-2016 08:34 PM

If I don't review it within 7 days, I'll send you my arm next Friday and you can have it.

I did listen to it my man, and I meant what I said earlier, like, that could be something I regularly listen to :0

Psychephilia - As Seen From...Space

1. Explain This Nonsense
Right off the bat I can tell you that you have a lot of work to do with your mixing and equalizing. Making your music really loud is one thing...maxing out people's speakers and damaging someone's hearing if they're not ready for it is another. I kind of knew this was coming based on sampling some of your other stuff so I had my laptop's volume set to 25/100 and it was still quite loud. The dark gray here on my volume shouldn't be topped out for the entirety of the song:

http://i.imgur.com/MNkj5f7.jpg

Anyway moving onto the actual content of the album. The first half of this track is some pretty standard noisey experimentation, but the second half starts to introduce some very interesting and beautiful elements that I'm really loving. Some seriously nice stuff there, lots of cool details to pick apart deep within the mix.

2. Taking Over the World
Very shrill and abrasive sounds here. Still way, way too loud. If I had my headphones anywhere near 50 or above I would be legitimately damaging my hearing. Not much really changed and I don't find these kinds of sounds interesting or engaging so I didn't enjoy this track.

3. Slowly Arriving
Not a lot going on here at first either. Naming it "slowly arriving" kind of helps with the feel of it, I can certainly tell what you're going for with this album with the whole space alien type thing. Some more interesting spacey sounds start to come in. Nice atmosphere to this part of the track. Feels like it's foreshadowing something dark and scary.

4. Lumber and Tightening
Some more spooky noises. I wish more of the album utilized the pretty noises behind the noisey mix like in the first track. Give me more of that and we'd have an album I love, but at this point we just have an album I kinda enjoy but would only really come back for the first track.

5. Jazz Hands
Great start but then we just get some wobbling synth. Oh here it's coming back around the one and a half minute mark. There's even some sampled vocals going on. This track is neat but doesn't seem to really fit in with the context of the album at all. I feel like you could've saved this track for another album where it fit more cohesively. Clearly this track was influenced a bit by some of Mondo's work, and you've done a good job at emulating that style. I'd like to hear more of this but can't help feeling a little weird at how out of place it is.

Verdict: There's flashes of really great stuff but also a lot of really cookie cutter experimentation where you're mostly just fiddling with effects on a basic synth and calling it a day, which is a style that works for some but isn't particularly engaging for me. Despite that I'm still looking forward to reviewing your next album, and you definitely have potential to make something great. Maybe you already have and I just haven't heard it yet, maybe it's the album I'm reviewing next. We'll just have to see.

Hashtags - Eorðe

1. Galaxy Uno
As opposed to Galaxy Dos or Galaxy Cinco de Mayo. Whelp we're getting some pulsing abrasive stuff that kind of ebbs and flows but doesn't really go anywhere for awhile. Very little happens in roughly 8 minutes of track time.

2. Moon Dos
I've made stuff that sounds very similar to this but I typically use it as an opener or a closer to a song to establish mood and it never lasts more than 30 seconds to a minute or so. When used for entire tracks it feels a bit hollow to me and isn't really establishing any sort of mood other than abrasive spookiness. Which I guess is a valid thing to make an album about, but I'm not particularly enthralled.

3. Look into the Sky
Oh we're onto track 3. Didn't even really notice until halfway through this one. Just some rumbley noises, not much I can really type about this.

4. Broken Neck
Oh a nice deep, dark drone to start this one off. Good change of pace. Throughout the track you start to add more and more distortion to it. Pretty nice effect but I wish there was more variation or that it built to something more interesting.

5. Shine Today
Well this is spooky. Sounds like I'm in a dark, scary cave from a horror movie and ghosts are screaming at me or something. It's cool that it transported me to that place for a bit at least.

6. Doomsday
Sounds exactly like an earlier track. In fact I'm almost convinced it IS exactly an earlier track, but I'm not going back to make sure lol.

7. Flatline
This is indeed a flatline-type drone that just kind of wiggles around a bit for a minute.

Verdict: I liked the first one a lot better.

Plankton 09-30-2016 10:05 AM

The artist and link to the album would be a nice touch on those.

Key 09-30-2016 10:05 AM

I can't please everyone, I guess.

Well you're very close to "pleasing" me

You've only been making music for like a month, nobody perfects their art in such a short amount of time. I don't really enjoy any of my Daydream Society work from my first year and a half or so of doing it. The first one was July 2013 and I didn't make a good one until February 2015

I appreciate it! A lot of the stuff on the ##### project is experimental so I can see where you come from when you talk about it just being random noise. It's not entirely set in stone how it's always going to sound, just stuff I feel works as a project altogether. My psychephilia project is far more popular for my own ears because it's a lot smoother and easier to maintain a constant rhythm.

Mondo Bungle 10-01-2016 04:53 PM

I will guarantee a review on monday

Who wants to hit me with more Salad reviews though

Key 10-01-2016 04:58 PM

I'm going to try to give The Blinding one more listen before I review, but the first listen was not too exciting, so I don't want to do a poor job.

Well you still owe me one from months back to be fair. I review We Are Animals at the promise of a review. I'll happily do another in a few minutes though.
