RE: Monkey Breaks silliness
Pongoid,
Not sure how much to say because you said it was just a little quick ditty. Seemed like an excercise in synth programming. Amazing that you were able to get so much out of the Evolver. To be honest, it inspired me to dig a little deeper into the Evolver - possibly what you were after by posting it. Seemed like the mix could have been a little better, needed a little more direction, but if you were able to put that together in one night, kudos. There's no way I would be able to do something like that in one night. From that standpoint, there isn't much that I can add.
You definitely have a sound in your programming and your structure/format. Easily identifiable as something from Pongoid. If I were to hear it without knowing it was yours, I would have thought to myself "this has been done by Pongoid."
As always, your sound selection/creation is excellent, and the sounds you selected really fit well together - not alot of overlap that can't be improved slightly with a little mixing effort.
Good stuff all together.
As far as getting reviews. Watch your politics. Sorry to say it, but people decide who they listen to by their politics. Maybe offer some more criticism of other peoples music - kind of a "scratch my back, I'll scratch yours." That's always been my experience here. Also, I wasn't able to listen to it because I didn't have a lo-fi option. Dialup at work prevents me from listening to alot of peoples stuff. Once I was able to get home and take a good listen, well, here I am.
