Reviews

Ayurveda review in Side Line Magazine:
 
'' I’ve to say that this album was an absolute masterpiece. The Ambient Society explored a pure electro-ambient universe mixed with Eastern chants and influences whole driven by a sensual down-tempo rhythmic.''
 
Joachim Zemmour's Ambroisie by The Ambient Society: 
 

‘’I think that when you listen to this album, you are immediately stricken to the soul. At some points, I think you've reached something almost otherworldly, supernaturally mysterious and beautiful... And I think you've managed the effect hinted in the title: like those who ate ambrosia in the legend, you can actually develop a sort of "addiction" to the music and the lyrics.’’

  
The Ambient Society ft Spades - Livin Da High Life review by Ad Lamerigts (Conductor & Music Educator): 
 
''My first acquaintance with the album "Livin Da High Life" by The Ambient Society ft Spades was an eye-opener for me. The rich timbre intrigued me so I kept listening over and over again. If you are brave enough you find yourself in an extremely fascinating and sometimes hallucinatory soundscape of beautiful compositions with an unprecedented dynamic palette. Highly recommended for those open to new sound experiences. 
Hats off to The Ambient Society & Spades!'' 
 

iTunes reviews: 

Too Much inspiration On Raspberry Days (feat. Suzy):
 
Too Much Inspiration On Raspberry Days feat. Suzy is an audacious and paradisical tapestry of delights. Mighty, diverse, fresh and dynamic. Deep, mesmerizing and trance-inducing stuff: a gorgeous musical trip for sure! With Too Much Inspiration On Raspberry Days, The Ambient Society again offers passion, listening delight and great musicianship. An excellent, splendid and powerful album with moments of heartbreaking delicacy.
Guest vocalist Suzy sings in no less than 3 different languages, including French (Zenith), German (Das Flustern) and English! It's amazing how many colors she's able to produce with her voice. Infectious and irresistible.
 
 
The Ambient Society ft Spades - Livin Da High Life: 
  
Totally in love with this album! Spades voice sounds like a mixture between Muse and Radiohead - amazing! 
  
  
Clairvoyance ft Suzy: 
  
With Clairvoyance ft Suzy, The Ambient Society again offers passion, listening delight and great musicianship. An excellent, splendid and elegant love song with moments of heartbreaking delicacy. Thanks you for conveying love! 
 
  
Polygon Lunasol: 

The magic of the album lies in The Ambient Society's complex and challenging sonic vision on modern electronica, which is both inspiring and thought provoking. Polygon Lunasol sounds like a beautifully modulated meditation on epic melody. A gorgeous musical trip for sure!

 
  
Chilled Stylish Electronica 
Three words: Chilled Stylish Electronica 
This extraordinary album combines the light with the dark, the beatiful with the mysterious. A world of nu-jazzyish trip hop beats and floating intimite chillout. Meditative, ethereal and cinematic. One of the most exquisite instrumental records ever made in The Netherlands. 
Recommende if you like serene and mesmerizing music. 
  
  
Underground: 
  
Lounge music to have dreams by... 
Underground by The Ambient Society is an essential listening for anyone who is interested in fine relaxing tunes. This is lounge music to have dreams by... My personal favourite tracks include: 
Equanimity
Namaste
Daintiness (Vegas Mix)
Simple Flower
Trinity (Om Mani Padme Hum Mix)
 
The quality of this well crafted album, full of brilliant electronic wizardry and near mystical stylings, is excellent and a refreshing change from the mainstream music that is out there at the moment. The Ambient Society - Underground, containing 12 wondrous and strange avant garde tracks, is an essential addition to any music lover's library. 
  

D35ign: 
  
Aesthetic 
Your music is very unusual and aesthetic.
I appreciate such research of mixing of sounds,
and people like you who are audacious enough to present a new kind of music.
 
Beautiful discovery ! 
  

Sonic Sonority: 
  
Filmic quality 
There's a filmic quality, and epic edge.... to this that I really like - and there's a hint ofthe Eastern promise here,... The drums/percussion actually brings to mind some of Brian Eno's 'Another Green World' rhythms from that album.... part machine, part jungle tribal. 
The arrangements and orchestration are very good.... the cleverly woven orchestral elements I mean, nice layering, stunning melodic progressions.... remind me of some of the lovely simple melodies of Andy McKay (on early Roxy Music stuff like 'Ladytron'). 
Although possessing quite a dense layering of sounds it still retains a basic minimalism that doesn't sound hurried or laboured... 
Random Equations makes me think of Boards Of Canada and Future Sound Of London. I love this track a lot. It puts me in a very cool headspace, and I never question anything that happens in the song. 
The Ambient Society brings together some of the lushest multi-layered soundscapes you're likely to hear, with touches of Massive Attack, Kraftwerk and Orbital, and an undercurrent of Depeche Mode, Dead Can Dance, Salt Tank and even Download. 
Very nice! Very Relaxing...... quality stuff! 
  

Phantom Fundamental: 
  
Avant Garde 
The Ambient Society does it again. This ecclectic album consists of esotheric psybient avant garde electronica, danceable, loungeable and cruisable, with sparse parlando vocals by Mister Ambient himself.
Favorite is Phantom Frequencies.
 
''A sound is said to have a missing fundamental, suppressed fundamental, or phantom fundamental when its overtones suggest a fundamental frequency but the sound lacks a component at the fundamental frequency itself. However, the brain perceives the pitch of a tone not only by its fundamental frequency, but also by the ratio of the higher harmonics. Thus, we may perceive the same pitch (perhaps with a different timbre) even if the fundamental frequency is missing from a tone.'' 
  

Music For Meditation: 
  
Meditative and relaxing 
Meditative and relaxing, yoga & zen... 
  

Rhythm 'n Stealth Ft Mic Most: 
  
Electronica meets Hip Hop 2.0 
Electronica meets Hip Hop 2.0. This is better than Massive Attack!! Music with a message...Teh dopeness !! 
  
  
Miscellaneous reviews 
  
The Ambient Society - Black Soldier Fly 
hello!!! This one is very surprising! Strange feel! Downtempo... Heavy beats! 

Very original, lots of character!

I like a lot your use of the voices samples....


..agree with others, top track!


To me the last 2 tracks I heard from you were the best of your material, you seemed to have found the right "weirdness factor" to please me. I always have heard top production skills, but now it is on the artistic and creative side that you impress. Lots of inspiration and purpose in those tracks. Just sounding good is not enough for me. But with originality and aesthetics like this you start to sound like FSOL, the Orb and other of my atmospheric favorites..... keep them coming!!!!

Yet another very inventive track from you, this is brilliant. i don't know what's coming when i play one of your tracks, which is good. The mix and production is crystal clear and dynamic. can't fault it really. Top track.

Enjoyed.

The Ambient Society - Black Soldier Fly 
nice choon!! I like this alot! Especially the production and FX work on it - very clean. I like most everything about it. The drumset style drums. The razor sharp bass sound. And The organs. I love the organs! I've always wanted to use organ in music but could never use them properly. I wasn't too sure about the vox at first but they go very well with the organ sounds.

Disturbance (dark melodic electronica) 
Hi, 

Very nice and cool, keeps a good mood happening, and I especially like the ominous rumbling rhythm in the "adagio" section. The more active rhythm was a surprise, though for me that section it could have done with a bit more build up a bit sooner - by the end it was cooking nicely however. Overall a good listen.

Cheers

Disturbance (dark melodic electronica) 
ooooh sweet strings, have a nice dark feel and in places a very light hint of Eyptian theme. You'd been very good at scoring movies I reckon. I loved it hen it all kicked off around 2 minutes or so, although I woulda like the beats to kick that little bit harder. overall mate, a top tune 
--Nuff X, 18 May 2007 
  
Disturbance (dark melodic electronica) 
nice and dark, great work on strings.
a lot of nice change was introduced in this track, my only wish is that you did more change-ups with the percussion. still a top track and my new fav that I have heard from you. Good work!
 
--rewir3d, 17 May 2007 
  
Disturbance (dark melodic electronica) 
This is excellent. Those dark string sounds are really nice, reminding me of Dead can Dance. The part when the percussion comes in is a great progression. I love your constant willingness to experiment. Brilliant work as always from you. An awesome piece of work.

Alternate State (Percussive IDM) 
oooh, this is nice. reminds me of why i first sorta got into idm. flip, clever, and different; and you pulled in that nice melody in the second part to make it all gel together. 

onto the jopy idm station you go, young man!

--jopy, 11 May 2007 
  
Alternate State (Percussive IDM) 
As everyone else has said the beats are really well done. 

Nice smooth organish pad that comes in around 1:30.

The contrast between the busy beats and the slow, drawn out pads is nice.

It's pretty amazing the richness you pull off with what essentially sounds like three voices - drums, organ pad, string pad. Maybe there's more in there, but that's what I'm hearing.

Alternate State (Percussive IDM)

Alternate State (Percussive IDM) 
Wow! Shocked 

My Nitendo has got a mind of it's own, it thinks it is related to the Warp record label.

This is really good. You keep coming up with new material. It's always fun to guess what your next offering will sound like. I like this a lot.

Perfect production as always. Top marks!

In a bit, Duncan.

2ndMOUSE - Plainsong (The Ambient Society Remix) 
top quality tune, i heard the original as well, was great... 

i like that mysterious vibe, the piano enhances the whole sounds and the vox fit in very well... clean production as well

2ndMOUSE - Plainsong (The Ambient Society Remix) 
This is one of mouse's best ever tracks imo so i was interested to hear your remix. As northcape says, it does'nt differ too much, but it still sounds excellent non the less. This does have a very nice etherial vibe to it. This would make a good partner to the original on a single. Nice one, enjoyed a lot. 
--.blipp., 17 April 2007 
  
2ndMOUSE - Plainsong (The Ambient Society Remix) 
great remix this te . very haunting and cinematic, 2nd mouse is very pleased going by his comment on fsor, wonderful stuff! dave. 
--nation2, 17 April 2007 
  
2ndMOUSE - Plainsong (The Ambient Society Remix) 
The space in the remix definitely fits the song title, its quite clean and simple but enjoyably so. I had to listen to the original after hearing this, you've kept the main melody which is very nice and quite essential to the piece, I almost prefer the your version without drums to be honest but they are both excellent 
--Northcape, 17 April 2007 
  
Nightfall 
This has good suspensfull qualities to it... its an almost arabic melody which is very engaging indeed! 

The layers and textures work extremely well with each other. No critique.. just a huge Tumbs up Tumbs up!!!

--breakbeatpimp, 28 April 2007 
  
Nightfall 
deep and engaging, as most of your stuff is.
I like the glitchy flow of the percussion and drum line.
Dont know why but this reminds me of the moody blues.
 
--][ndy, 28 April 2007

this has a nice post rock vibe to it. lots o verb, sounds kind of wash over you. build ups, cool downs. nice one.

fook yeah man, I love the organic yet kind of mechanical feel to it... really excellent... I would have to agree about one of your best ever. The way the voices are worked in is fuckin phenomenal, bro. Keep poppin those super shrooms over there in the netherlands my friend.

This is wonderful, one of your best ever imo. Gorgeous the way you blended the sounds and built it up, and it was the icing on the cake when those glitchy drums came in, just right. Excellent. Loved it.

The Ambient Society - Distant Rumblings 
this is great, man..the drum loops are just great. all the sounds and the melody is beautiful, and dissonant at the same time. i like where the percussion sits, too...kinda far back but it suits the track...breakdown is fantastic... 
--PuttyJakt, 07 April 2007 
  
The Ambient Society - Distant Rumblings 
I like this darker edge from you. Very good tune. 

Love the evil breakdown at the 2:20 mark. The mix and production is to your usual high standards. Brillient choice of sounds.

I can't say much more, other than I really, really liked it.

In a bit mate, Duncan.

TE Distant Rumblings- really great. wide and vibrant. great filtering and that "woo ooo" sound became trance like. wish there was a modern equivalent to the film "heavy metal" because this would go right with it.

The Ambient Society - Distant Rumblings 
te. enjoyed this. more cinematic than usual, and ive got blips going through a wormhole going round my mind! wonderful sounds youve used here, theres a beautiful ambience under the drum track, good one te. 
--nation2, 02 April 2007 
  
The Ambient Society - Distant Rumblings 
This is certainly a darker one from you. This made me think of zooming through a wormhole to a distant galaxy for some reason, it had an urgent feel to it. Wonderful production and imaginative choice of sounds. Enjoyed it, but i do prefer your more melodic outings . This track would fit great on an album i think. Nice work. 
--.blipp., 02 April 2007 
The Ambient Society - Modesty 
  
ah, another success story. i could be your publicist this afternoon. lots of good stuff! 

loved that throaty bass tone and those crunchy crunchy drums. i usually get turned off extremely by anything that sounds like a synthesizer imitating a real instrument, but that lead thing sounded like a cranky old cathederal organ so i still like this a lot. you do a great job with keeping lots of spacy elements separate and clean in a swirling mix-o-rama.

--jopy, 11 April 2007

te, love this m8, i agree with nimble, this should be out there, your stuff is refreshing and real quality. dave.

The Ambient Society - Modesty 
Bleedin' hell. Your stuff is getting seriously good at the moment. You need to get this out into the market. The melody played by the pan-pipe sound is excellent. My sort of tune most deffo. 

The 'white noise' kind of sound works very well. Dark music always puts me in a good mood.

Well done!!!!!!

In a bit mate, Duncan.

The Ambient Society feat. Mic Most - Rhythm 'n Stealth 
te, 

Smooth. This is a well executed track. I really liked how the vox and the rhythm section are synced up. Every once in a while the kick supports accents in the vox. Nice detail. That deep bass felt like a nice warm blanket. Wink

--merlinmcbain, 07 Mar 2007 
  
The Ambient Society feat. Mic Most - Rhythm 'n Stealth 
The Dopeness. Very nice track. i kinda only have 2 real tiffs with it though. 1. The vox sometimes gets drowned out alot by the atmosphere - to the point where I'm very distracted.
2. the vox's liquidy effects. I kinda wouldn't mind if it was on part of the vox track but it covers it during the entire track.
 

otherwise, i like it alot. real ear candy for ambient + hip hop fans alike.

Aurora Silk 2007 Remix 
Very nice chord work, blended well with the smooth vocals. The production is pretty crisp. This would make an excellent soundtrack for a panoramic sweep over a beautiful landscape, or a come-up/down scene in a party film Wink . 

My only two bits of advice (from my point of view) would be to have a go at bringing the drums out a bit. Particularly the kicks and snares. You could try varying the chord sequence around the mid-point of the song to give an extra dimension.

But putting this aside, I have to say I am a fan of this track! Nice one.

Take care, Duncan.

P.S. I made the changes you suggested on my track, plus a bit more work on the mix. Sounds a lot better. So thank you for the advice.

and managed a somewhat successful outcome here as well.
Yeah, could also definitely see this with vocals, would work a treat.
As ever with you, it's a very lovely slice of music by itself but with vocals this would be very very grand indeed.

nice beat for raps. that fade @ about 3:00 is mad tight. does your boy have the lyrics yet? 

generally speaking, it's uber cool to cross/mesh genres like this.

--reconsiderate, 3 jan 2007 
  
I like the bits drt mentioned as not liking too much... the mmmm's.... and the violin type ethnic instrument gives it a nice 'Lawrence of Arabia' camels thing... the (Atmosphere-ic?) drones add a melancholic air like the call to prayer...... maybe I'm thinking about Saddam Hussein's execution earlier today and the plight of the Middle East? 

The seeming chaos of the dnb and the radio type intereference all mix together well here......

It's a beautiful piece.....

Congratulations on being picked for artist of the month, it couldn't go to anyone more deserving imho. Well done sir. Thumbs up!

Against You (The Ambient Society Remix) 
eah, i like that. But i would put an original Roland Bassliner Bass on it,
that it goes more and more in deep-bass-tripy-trance-techno-psychedelic.
At least, i would put 1 or 2 clean sounds on it.
But its also good enough - i put it on my preselection-station!

Endemic Endorphine 
aight, i can feel this....i was gonna rail you like i always do about lack of percussional evolution, but instead, i was immersed in groove, and realized, that was all the evolution it needed, to just take you away for a bit is the point...and you did it well..i like you four to the floor stuff the best to be honest, you have a good knack for taking the listener to lal la land. nice. 
--timothyp, 28 Nov 2006 
  
Chemistry 
Chemistry - woah.. <3 ing this lionlike bass noise at first contact, the lighter beat is more fitting for the drawn bass tones than the last one although i think mouse might be onto something with the beat, perhaps pull back the verb a bit on the percussion side of things to liven some of it up and bring it forth a smidge maybe. nice paddy spacey ambience, the lead noise (similar to the one in absorbtion) works better with this one, everything else is contrasting enough that it adds something more this time around... enjoying it but youre sitting on the groove forever again Wink suppose you get that when you've got the word ambient in your name.
Masterful work though, really have to try to be critical with most of your stuff.
 
--mrd, 19 Nov 2006 
  
Absorption 
absorption - wow.. ok the break and subtle groovy acid doohicky at 2:15 im liking.. not big on the lead and the bass noise is powerful but.. (and its probably my system..) its woofling along on a heck of a lot of long tones lik a balad, i think the soft cutoff makes it sound a tad reverbed.. a little overpowering imo to do so says my ears on my setup (sounds suspiciously like im getting a fair ammount of tuned port resonance in there to me so dun think bigly of it - i know i know, monitors). 
--mrd, 17 Nov 2006 
  
Chemistry 
" chemistry " is sonically very strange as that initial bass seems to sit in a very full stereo space -- it takes up a lot of room . Think the beats could do with being pulled to the front a bit more as they lose a bit of impact , and they sound like they could have a bit more drive to them when ya hear the beat on its own at the tail end of the track. Not feeling it as much as your previous ones mate , but still pretty solid 
--2ndMouse, 18 Nov 2006

Random Equations make me think of BoC and FSOL. I love this track a lot. It puts me in a very cool headspace, and I never question anything that happens in the song. 

Very cool track.

--TheGet, 17 Nov 2006 
  
Chemistry 
i do like this.it reminds me of a pinnacle point in a movie when the hero is in his training mode.reflecting about points in their life that has got them to this point.it is a very good track to just chill out to.it is very emotional and simple in its conveyance.nice work.

nice energy.the slimy synth is really cool.but: THE BEAT!!!! i need some oomph, the bd is almost non existent(or, i digress, not enough presence to make itself known).the snare seems to be very wimpy.you did a really awesome job with the synths and the feel and atmosphere.a+ there.but i am very let down by the beat, and feel with a properly beefy beat and some more percussion evolution this track will be amazing. 
--timothyp, 16 Nov 2006 
  
Singularity 
yeah agreed very airy pad there - however it works for changing the feel a bit to the alternative - it hasn't taken me to a desert but more a cold tundra - theres more green, the small dub bits definately depict isolation. 

I have been taking big notes from your work/methods lately TE, you've been extremely helpful to my personal development.
The horny/woody instrument there (oboe layered with very light english horn?) creates a very nice tension.. I'd be very self controlled to leave it flowing for so long playing the same intervals for as long as you have, its very dragged out - so without visual accompanyment I would be tempted to introduce another feel somewhere about 1/2 to 2/3rds way through.

BUT! I have very energetic tastes and get off on rapid changes... far from a qualified ambient reviewer Very Happy so just keep doing what you're doing cos youre helping me more than I could help you i think hehehe.

--musicness2007, 17 Oct 2006 
  
Singularity 
There's a filmic quality.. an epic edge... to this that I really like - and there's a hint of the Eastern promise here that drt mentions..... the drums/percussion actually brings to mind some of Brian Eno's 'Another Green World' rythmns from that album.... part machine, part jungle tribal.... 

The arrangement is very good..... the orchestration I mean, nice layering.... the oboe lead is very nice... reminds me of some of the lovely simple melodies of Andy McKay (on early Roxy Music stuff like 'Ladytron').

Although possessing quite a dense layering of sound it still retains a basic minimalism that doesn't sound hurried or laboured.... the length would permit more melodic progression, which doesn't come....it could stand having a 'climactic' sound... although I do like the drop to the stringsy drone in the middle which is repeated at the end.

Very nice! Very relaxing...... quality stuff!

Hello,
This is drt.
The beginning has a certain camels and desert quality to it, can just see someone coaxing out the snake, as it were.
Also like the way that the pads try to create a fairly dense wall of sound but would have liked to have heard that main synth line dropped out a bit more often. A little bit long and rather than trip hop, drt would say that this piece actually succeeds in creating a more wall of sound drone like quality, which is great in drts book!
cheers,
drt

I love that Eastern style hook, very nice use of pitch bending there. Cool
I'd say it seemed to build a bit slowly, it kind of got 'stuck' for me on the intro when I wanted it to take off faster. The rhythmic parts and vocal are very cool when they enter though. I'd just say that the whole thing developed too slowly for me and got a bit repetitive as well, I would have liked some kind of bigger change... its got some cool ideas though.

Hey TE, 

Just checking 'Resonance' now, very cool, chilled sound here.
Where are those vox from? they work well but do have that 'chopped up' feel to them, maybe try to smooth that out? might just be me being picky...
Its defo close your eyes and relax music, perfect for me as i'm just about to go to slumberland.
That first, main synth line has a very 'eastern' feel to it - there are some very slight pops on it, might wanna put some attack on it to try and counter-act that? when the percussion comes in, it really opens up the mix, some nice placement of instruments there. Plenty of variation going on here through fx's and arrangement changes although that main line could do with a little change but takes nothing away from the track.
Yeah, me likey.

ome kewl effects in this one TE -- liked the reverse fades on the melody. I recognised the vocals but they sound different , so im thinkin you pitched syllables about from the originals -- it sounds smooth and as fluid as the original samples. Nice beats -- gives it a nice driven industrial feel to it. The telephone effect on the vocals works really well also ( bit of distortion on there too ?? ) --- its got my feet tappin and my knees bouncin up n down , so i feel the groove no problem. 
--2ndMouse, 5 Nov 2006 
  
Resonance 
eastern scales? i love it...a queen of the dessert walking slowly along the only well of water for miles, she is tempting you to come closer, but knowing only destruction is in her heart, you don't. The vocals are very cool, almost giving this dessert queen a personality other than a temptress with destructive intentions. it does lack a little bit in the full potential of it all, i mean it could explode a lot, but it stays at even keel. It is a very enjoyable listen, but it does not hold my attention enough for 6 plus minutes, that is my crit. 

Good job.

--2ndMouse, 28 Oct 2006 
  
Raggamuffin Junction 
this sounds very nice....i like the laid back semi-dub elements here. The drums could be brought up a bit with the exception of some of the treble. I would say since you dont change the initial melody too much you could compact this song to be at least 4 mins long. That way the progressions will be a bit faster and more powerful...just a thought, i do like the track though...good job!!! 
--timothyp, 23 Oct 2006 
  
Raggamuffin Junction 
Damn this is some quality stuff! Love the vibe of it. The sounds are great, although the main lead sound could be a bit more varying both in melody and in sound. This bothered me quite a bit in the track. 

What impress me most are the background sounds and effects. Very nice stuff. I think the beat could've been a bit more loud.

A bit more could've happened as the song went on in my opinion. And the lead sound is making me crazy. Very Happy

Still, very nice job.

I like the percussion .. they are very light and crisp.. the synths are mixed well, I'm relatively new to electronica so it sounds original enough to me..I was expecting the bassline to change-up more , just because of the genre.. the lead synths handle the arragement well...
so it avoids sounding repetitve... plus the percusion sounds quite energetic and give the track spontanaity
 

great job

What else can I say but whats gone before me?

Either way, I enjoyed it.

Ever seen those late-70's manga series like ulysses? This track would fit beautifully is a series like that. Very organic chord progression. Funny how you turned the drum into some kind of synth itself with the reverb.

anywayz, great tune, amazing atmosphere definately suits the name IMO, maybe its just me but it sounded to me like the pad is too loud on the hi-end or maybe too distorted, its minor but it just sounded to me like that (i'm listenning to it on headphones tho)...
oh and maybe it could've sounded better if the beat was a little louder, i understand that its not THE main part of the track, i just felt it got too much in the background...
loved the way it ended btw, kinda sudden but in a very good way Very Happy

Initially thought this had loads of distortion... then I realized my laptop sound was set too high. Embarassed 

Is that singing, or some kind of heavily processed sine lead? I honestly can't tell.

Anyway, it was nice and relaxing, though I felt you needed new ideas towards the end, like Northcape said. tis a good track indeed... vary up the composition some and you'll have a winner.

Lovely choices of sounds here. Big, deep and slowly flowing track. Builds in a very organic way. Great surrealist melodies... I would say about the 2minute mark it seemed to need a bit more of a change though, some harder beats or something, the track seemed to drag out its ideas a bit too much for me. That said, its really excellent work.

Realy like this track mate ! 

Its a bit like two tracks in one. Even if the melodic and bass remain the same in found the part with the drums quiet different...in the style in mean.
What I like about your work is that, whatever the style of music you make, you always add a nice "ambient" touch.
The result are nice trippin' tracks.

wow dude, do you play guitar at all? if not then good programming, if so, then we need to collab...i am looking to do a breaks track with aggressive acoustic, anyways to the track....i do really like this, it sounds like u elevated this one to another level....i like how the padded soundefx actually serve as a purpose...the purpose is a rythmic one to my ears, which u would think would be the guitar, but the pads hold the guitar together....to my ears at least...if you have a kitty cat or dog, just slap it...cause it deserved it for you making a nice atmospheric track that is emotional and poignant!! the beat! yeay...a little shrill on the OH, but i am just nit picking, why not, gotta find something...the track is good where i have to bitch about the OH...lol! i like the little subtle things u do throughout...wow u got a long review out of me...hmmm...i guess I gots my game right today!!!

utterly fantastic little compressed snippets of wonderment! Awesome efforts! I've fallen for the beautiful melodic loop pieces by TAS in the end to tip the scale in this chalk'n'cheezer round...

very very cool chord progression indeed. It really sweeps you through a range of emotions. I like the diversity of the synths you've used as well, they each have a distinctive vibe and yet they blend together beautifully. 

proper respect.

Personally I love the drums. Sounds a bit lamb-ish. Hahah nice. 
--rhezteric 
Sonic Sonority 
nice arrangement! 

the drums could be a little clearer? and a tiny bit louder? they are kind of wild? but they do seem to work with this particular track.

--KRISCHAK, 23 Sep 2006 
  
Sonic Sonority 
For some inexplicable reason, this solid tune was headed for page 2 with no comments. Rolling Eyes The chord progessions here are very evocative and unique. The progression seems to go back and forth between mystery and tragedy with a nice resolution every now and then. I can't say as the drum programming really jumped out at me, but I don't think this tune really calls for serious percussion.

Sonic Sonority 
excellent TE -- really other-worldly --- loved the few instances where there was a vocal just peeking out from behind the main synthline , and it sounded really spot-on...not overdone.
I anticipated this would be good before i even listened cos you're on a roll right now. Reminded me of a mixture of Orbital , Jarre , and Vangelis.
Really nice track TE -- good work d00d !!!

Sonic Sonority 
ahhh...i am being swept away, away to the nestling of particles, the simple flamingos of digitized parliament. oooohhh....then a beat comes in and sweeps me into a dancefloor filled with slumping office drones, they look at me and smile, they know I am the only one who has an affinity for pads and the love they bring. I like the progressions and additions of elements, nothing overdoing, just a chilling hookah track that makes you get all introspective....i think i like this one the best from you!

Autumn Breeze 
wooh, this is haunting! Scoobysnack! It reminds me of an old game i played on the sega.
How cool is that. Perhaps due to the arcadeness of the rain sample Smile
The drum (especially the snare drum) might be mixed a little louder imho.
 

Good work!

--][ndy, 16 Sep 2006 
A New Dawn 
Very other-worldly indeed. This is a great chord progression and you've chosen some great sounds to go with it. I can see what Alastair means about it sounding like an intro as it has that weloming sory of feel to it, like an opening of a door to something that's going to be revealed. That said, it's still very nice on it's own and would make a great album opener imo. Cool 
--.blipp., 16 Sept 2006 
  
A New Dawn 
Those chords give this an otherworldly atmosphere, very nice progression there. Very chilled- nevertheless, this felt like an intro to a track to me, I think it needs something else to come in or something to change more than it does to give it more of a progression. That said, I like whats there. Cool 

Alastair

--northcape, 15 Sep 2006 
  
A New Dawn 
The chord progressions and the voicing actually reminded me a bit of Eddie Jobson's work (UK, Zappa). This piece has a nice chilled out vibe to it. Definitely very relaxed. I like the combinations of sounds you used here. Nice effects slowing things down at the end. 

Cheers,

I think that this needs some sharp marchingband type snares, to give a nice crsp contrast, because the drums seem lost.... Otherwise, this song is love!! 
--mugglefx, 8 Sep 2006 
  
Aurora Silk 
i am captured so far by the intro amazingly nice pads. The vocals work extremely well so far!! I really wasn't feeling the beat tho, i thought it really doesn't fit...for me....i felt it could be brought in a little better than it was. That might help with how it fits with the song. First impressions and such. I love everything but the beat. It is so rich and full...wonderful! 
--timothyp, 28 Aug 2006

This is nice mate. I like the distortion on the synths mixed with the mellow vocal (where is that from... I recognise it). Nice rolling junglistic breaks too! 
--breakbeatpimp, 7 Sep 2006 
  
Aurora Silk 
I very much enjoyed this piece too... I like those synths, they sound nice and warm. Perhaps a chord change would be a welcome addition to keep listeners interested. The vocals fit nicely and the drums are very interesting... I dig'm. Nice track. Very Happy 
--electric salmon, 31 Aug 2006 
  
Aurora Silk 
Beautiful, and in a nice way. Not the music that gives me tears in my eyes, but music that I just enjoy. The vocals are great, they make the song more interesting. The mastering is done quite well, the drums are exactly good. The song is long enough to be used in things like games and movies, yet short enough to just be listened to. The synths are beautiful and full, not too loud, and they fit the theme, which also is quite good. 

This is just one great job Thumbs up. Keep it up! Headphones

you created a nice soundscape. the constant buzzing and droning in the background makes it feel like you're in a decrepit factory somewhere. but then you have this little groove running underneath. not the kind of stuff I listen to a lot, but I can appreciate the work

Random Equations 
I think you work as fast as i do TE , and your tracks have taken a huge leap since the first ones i heard.
This , at first impression , sounds to me like the best i've heard yet.
Really nice use of layering with the beats. Creates a really nice undulating pattern that strikes a chord with me. Very unusual , and very clear production....plenty of space and yet tight at the same time. I think this would sound great on our first compilation. It goes almost " The Doors " for a second when the organ comes in , and it gives it almost an " orb " or Ozric Tentacles vibe.
Really nice work TE -- liked it a lot and it brought a smile to my face -- nice clicks at the end as well...unexpected -- you're onto somethin...keep it up matey

Midnightblue Dream 
Some great rhythmic patches in this TE....really nice , sounds very smooth and effortless.
Sonar is doin' ya the world of good. Love that Vangelis type lead in the background. Yeah , this takes me away somewhere really day-dreamy.
I have to say it again , that lead is awesome !! The whole thing just sounds so clean and well produced as well. Very Juan Atkins in places , and conjures up similar pictures in my mind.
Would have loved it to gradually fade out in a wash of delay , kinda blending all the notes into one kinda drone , and a bit of sub to fill out the bottom-end more , but I agree with Tim in that ya definitely have somethin' good here.
 
--2ndMouse, 30 Aug 2006 
  
Katharsis 
Think you may have to change your name cos it seems to be moving away from ambient , and its a change for the better may i add.
The first thing that strikes me about Kathartic is its warmth -- did you use something like PSP vintage warmer to kinda bunch it up ? whatever ya did , it sounds good to my ears !!
Likin those vocal samples -- thats somethin im running out of , and desperately would like to find more of....OH..it just stopped really abruptly.
I like it , as an atmosphere , but i think i'd need to listen a few more times to connect with the melody cos the chord sequences are really really long and its hard to latch onto on first listen , but i still like it though.
Good job TE !!

Zarathustra's Vorrede 
"Zarrathustras vorrede" ----- has that same epic Jarre sound ( which i love ).
really like the panned rhythmic elements later on . Would be the perfect compliment to images of a Nasa satellite swingin by one of Jupiters moons cos it gives that kinda vibe. Both tracks really well executed , with plenty of space , warmth , and stereo richness.
 

Great stuff TE !!

--2ndMouse 
Das Kind Mit Dem Spiegel 
Hey TE --- listenin to "Das Kind mit dem Spiegel" --- it reminds me of jean-michel-jarre in terms of style. That huge gliding lead is class !! some nice reverse beat action goin on in the background ( didnt realise while the synths were coverin it -- had to listen closely ) , but yeah , very reminiscent of " equinox " and " oxygene " , which were in my mind , absolute classics.
Great work TE !!
 
--2ndMouse, 27 June 2006 
  
Midnightblue Dream 
Sounds interesting. Not the usual mellow I'm used to hear.
I like that kinds of wah wah sonority with plenty of reverb.
The vocal is nice too and fits the song.
There is not much variation but strangely it doesn't bodered me. The differents synth added here and there kept me away from being bored.
If i had to say something negative...mm would be the little abrupt ending...that's all Wink
 

Nice one !

--Alex PG, 3 Sept 2006 
  
Midnightblue Dream 
The main "wah" synth that carries the rythym is really interesting. this whole tune gives off an unique vibe. The lead lines and pads that float in and out keep things changed up, but the piece did get a bit repetitive to my ears after awhile.

Katharsis 
some very nice pads there, remind of another song but i can't put my finger on it, superb vocal there to. cool beat, one problem I think though is it seems to be a bit squashed by the power of those pads... Still very nice track mate, good work.

Nice screamers in this one so far. Good pronounced bassline. Wowza the first 2 min flew by. 

around the 2 min mark esque where the second kickline come in, it really loses a lot of punch. IMO start some reading on compression. Not a diss just a point in the right direction to expand the old bean as it were.

Lots of good ideas here. I like a crisper hh counter rhythm to accent the bass and emphasize the timing more. to me Techno should be a little more mechanical.

Das Kind mit dem Spiegel 
Translates as "The Child With The Mirror"? or similar? 

This is beautifully melodic - and although darkish sounding I found it to be quite an uplifting piece due no doubt to the chord progression. Very acomplished, intelligent piece.

There's an element/hint at Kraftwerk's 'Looking Glass' and 'Showroom Dummies' in there if I'm not mistaken?.... das is gut. Even the greatest stars, dislike themselves in the looking glass...

I love the arpegs, and the whole thing! Maybe not so keen on the reversed rythmn gated sounds to move it along, but I don't mind it. I love the broken up synth thing Dolly mentions around the 3.00 mark - sounds like one of the huge moody M5 synth sounds maybe.... I like it!

VERY GOOD TRACK! VERY GOOD INDEED!

--RobotArchie, 27 June 2006 
  
Das Kind mit dem Spiegel 
like those siren-like strings... thought it was going to start fading out there as it approached two minutes... the noise coming in from around 3:00 is a nice touch - i like the way it disturbs the atmosphere... reversed kick drums (i assume?) sound good too, briefly raising the energy levels... i'd rather see it start to wind down after that though, rather than start up with the siren-strings again at 4:50... 

excellent production... ambient isn't really my thing, but i enjoyed that one. Wink

Claustrophonic Feeling Remixed 
spinnin the remix right now. The beats sound similar to future sound of london.
I could see this complimenting a story in a film where a major decision has been made by a group of people to work towards some mutual goal , and this would be the " galvanise " section , where they all get the hard work done , and the camera watches each of 'em in turn.
Its got that kinda vibe for me. It's a bit orbital-esque as well.
It doesnt matter that the beat carries on the way it does without any fills , cos its a strong beat that can carry that kinda hypnotic driving feel to it.
Really nice track man -- added to my station and voted " hot " !!
 
--2ndMOUSE, 14 June 2006 
  
Claustrophonic Feeling 
Hello there. This is a nice well produced tune. To be honest, I would not class this as drum and bass. Usually (not a definate rule) the tempo of D'n'B is around the 170bpm mark, and often sped up even more by the DJ's. I don't really know what you would class this as, maybe ambient breakbeat? 

In terms of your tune, this is cool and very laid back. Great chill-out track. Your production, arrangement and mix is very good. You obviously have a good musical ear. An on a separate note, the pictures you use are brillient! Do you make them yourself?

Anyway, check you later...

Ey up mate. Very dark (which = very cool in my opinion), and calm. 

I can definately hear the Massive Attack/ Leftfield vibe in this track. Which is definately not a bad thing.

I would agree that a bit of bass wouldn't hurt. And possibly some more variation in the drums (but this will depend on how you have made it. e.g. sample or sequence). If it is sample you could double it up, but start the second loop from the snare drum. This will allow you to create a bit of variation.

Anyways, enough of the patronising advice. I like this, and shall add it to my station.


In a bit, Duncan.

Mistylectric 
found the intro a bit harsh... I'm listening on headphones so maybe that has something to do with it though. Nice tune, personally I thought it was too far to the rear and the noise was too far forward, just personal taste and this is obviously a bit of an experimental ambient track. This could do with a bit more bass in my opinion, it seemed to need a bassline or at least something to fill that frequency space a bit better ... Interesting track though.

I noticed this isn't your newest, but it's good stuff (as usual from you). I like this more than some of your others as it's faster. It has cool sounds too.

Hi 

As always, innovative and on the road marked 'way out'. good sounds, good vibe and loved the underlying pads.....(keep telling you, i'm a sucker for pads ).

nice one !

Don't you wanna hold me tight 
Although the organ type sound was a bit repetitive, the pad soundscape in the background kept it sounding interesting all the way through. I like the way you try out different styles.

Don't you wanna hold me tight 
hey dude i really liked this track was nice and weird and different maybe it could do with a few more noises going on to break up the repetative organ a lil more towards the end but anyway a small crit as this track is very good and i added it to my station
p.s. have you tried the end samples at a female frequency

Don't you wanna hold me tight 
cool track, man. I liked the trippy pads behind the funky drums and synth.... gets you groovin and trippin out at the same time. Nice use of samples and good variation in the beat as well.

Nice track. very atmospheric and i liked a lot of the sound combinations you used.

Earth's force on the Moon 
I was intrigued by the title. This piece is pretty dark and brooding. The combination of synths and ambient noises took me to a different place which was cool. The spoken parts mixed in push the concept ahead nicely. 

Interesting piece.

very atmoshpheric, nice! Really smooth piece with nice samples... I like how you've mutated them as the song goes on.

Earth's force on the Moon 
Hello Emptness San,
This is pretty nice indeed. Maybe nice is the wrong word to use!!
drt likes industrial, dark ambient stuff and this is not a bad track but in a sense it almost felt too clean. Liked it though.
The vocals are freaky enough but would have loved to hear the background mutate a bit more, more depth. Sometimes silence is the best music there is, really gives the piece a more dynamic and emotional feel.
Rambling now!!
Nice one,
drt

Eath's force on the Moon 
Good Morning Mr. Emptiness ! 

Just had a listen to this over breakfast. A gorgeous slab of dark burbling electronica. Theres some neatpanning going on in here which works well and the sounds all sit well in the mix. Liked the understated drums tickling away in the background !! This reminds me of somebody although I can't put my finger on who. Its got touches of Orbital, Salt Tank and even Download.

excellent stuff

Eath's force on the Moon 
Big Up. 

Some good synth building work here. Very atmospheric. The filtered drum line works well as well. The strings that come in at about 3 mins need to be done more surely I also like the liquid sound in there. Perhaps rolling some lows off the vox with eq may make it sit better.

Listen to me going on! It's really good mate.

Procession to the Cathedral 
Like this one 

I can hear a Dead Can Dance vibe in the underlying bass. I'm also hearing Oneiroid Psychosis and GGFH minus the hard beats and vocal cut ups.

I'd love to hear some hard industrial tecno kick stomping along on this. It'd work............listen to Hocico/Dulce Liquido.

Procession to the Cathedral 
Total emptiness -- just listenin to " procession to the cathedral an im gettin a Depeche Mode " music for the masses " vibe from it , and i know they arent in the list of influences on your page , but there is an undercurrent of it in there. Its a nice piece. I'm not the worlds best critic of ambient music so i'll leave it to someone much more qualified than me , but suffice to say , in production terms , i heard nothing overtly wrong whatsoever that i heard.

The Bong 
"The Bong" is great. Some very cool sounds you've used and it's well-trippy. Good one.

Invocation of the Gods 
Hi, 

I like the fact you've got such a big range of styles on your page, it makes me feel I should be pushing the envelope further...

Listening to 'Invocation of the gods', nice dark atmosphere. I felt that as far as the mix went it sounded a bit muffled, definitely the drums seem to need to be punchier and to cut through more. Apart from that I like this, I just think it could be given a lot more power through the production. Very nice choice of vocal samples, and I like the surreal sound of the whole thing.

Spinning Eternity 
Just checking out Spinning Eternity............This has got some serious presence.............. Fast & loud & in your face technotrance. 

Reminds me of Man With No Name on souped up steroids.............also reminiscent of Empirion (whateer happened to they ?)

I've just been checking out your pages and saw that one of your influences is Tuxedo Moon......... .........Desire is on one of my all time classic albums especially the track 'In the Name of Talent'. I've always wanted to do a cover of that.........

Cool Stuff !

Aztek Roads Remixed 
Hey, this is some really pro sounding stuff. It wouldn't sound out of place at all in a club. Not at all. Particularly enjoyed the growly bass. As far as CC goes... I feel it's missing a bit of "oomph" in the lower end that a dance track needs. Maybe try to punch up the kick drum? I suppose some people would tell you that it gets a little muddy when you got all the layers going, but for the most part the mixing sounds great. 

Nice job, I'll definitely check out more o' your stuff.

Spinning Eternity 
Not a dance fan myself, but i thought Spinning Eternity was brilliant, really mesmerising. I lked the slow build up and i especially liked the parts the pad was in. Enjoyed.
