I agree with Monkeybullman, this definately aint DnB but it is a cracking tune. You can hear the mum influences with the bitty electronic beats and lush reverbed vocals. All the right sounds in all the right places and the lyrics are very fitting. It's just a shame you had a moment of madness and called it 'electric shark blowjob!', hello snow would be a far better title. Good stuff man.

I appreciate you taking the time to review it! - I'm a big fan of your stuff -
I recently upgraded to Acid pro 5 and wanted to experiment a little with some of it's newer features - this was the end result...
Keep up the great work on your end!

...It's another cracking hybrid tune from u. I love the mid-section of this tune, after the breakdown when it came thudding back in it destroys what braincells I have left! Great stuff again.
(I docked half a mark cos, although I can't put my finger on it, there's just something not quite right).

I have exactly the same feeling, that's why I put it on NG (comments :D ). Anyway, I think I got what's missing... The beat stays the same as the "verse" all the time :) I think I'm gonne pump it up in the "chorus" :)
Thanks again for an excellent review man!

"I like the mid-section....."
...when everything chills, goes a bit weird and then comes banging back in. The couple of breakdowns in the track are well placed and I love the sub-bass bassline that runs pretty much throughout. I would have prefered the drums to have less distance on them, ermmm, they seem to be a bit reverby, not in yer face enuff. Might be too much fx on them. I think this track would benefit from having glitchy DnB drums that are made up of hi-end sounds. I think it would add to the originality cos the drums u have in there are a little incessant and although they keep the tune kicking along nicely I find them a little irritating. It might be cos the tempo of the trk is very fast, so the drums seem like they are too quick for their own good, I don't know, blah blah blah:) I do love that beginning bassline! I think cut-up glitchy drums with that bassline would be unbeatable!

I agree, the drums were a bit irritating. I changed it around a bit, equalized it and it sounds a lot better now, but you'll never hear it because I won't submit an update to NG. Oh well... sad days. Thanks for the review and for enjoying my song!

....it's so subtle and atmospheric. It gradually builds really well and makes me wanna keep on listening to see what's coming next! It has a kinda BoardsOfCanada feel to it. If the bass was a little rounder and phatter and there was a few more melodies flitting in and out of the tune it would've got my 10. Still I give u 5/5 cos it's good to hear experimental tunes like this. I'm downloading this right now! Good shit.

I know the title seems pretty self-explanitory, but I was expecting something completely different! I thought this would be a slow and typical example of the eygptian theme, but instead I got a funky, weird and quirky tune circulating around my head!!! It's cool.
Author's Response:
I have made a "traditional" eqyptain style thing as well, but well, i dont like it, so it would be a miracle if anyone else did... anyway, the idea behind this was a minimalism project i did for my music gcse, well, im updating, it and i may put it in the audio portal

....but this is a good example of the better side of this genre. Nicely put together and good choice of samples to make this into a Funky House track. Nice.

Cheers, must be the first funky house track on here?

Now this is what i'm talkin bout!!!:) Phat-ass drums nice melodies and SFX, superb breakdowns and building of tension, excellent production and arrangement. Nuff said! More of the same please. In my opinion, your best tune so far.

Those are some thudding drums man! It's a shame u didn't go on to add a bassline and melodies to this trk. The organ sound that comes in towards the end is the perfect instrument/sound for a Squarepusher style bassline. I would like to hear this made into a full-on tune. Check out my latest submission AmusementArcade(bastardVer0.1) and c what u think, it's got a long intro but I reckon it's worth the wait! Nice stuff man.
Author's Response:
Thanks for the Input! I was planning on making it longer but just had no reason to. I'll definately give your song a listen.

This tune just gets better and better as it builds, with the ghostly modulated sounds and those nicely delayed sinewave bells and the vibe sounds. A nice unique blend of sound fx and ambient pads. The drums are just right to help the tune kick along. The only thing I dont really like is the bassline, which I think could have been slightly more progressive. Good shit man.
