Hi Will! Indeedn, long time no hear. but it's good to have you back. Those are two nice tunes. Let me start with lost in London. The drumprogramming was time well spent. I do like it. I went back to all I need and discovered something new even there. Since you pay attention to details. There were parts of the drums in the old one, that I did miss. So the drums with Lost in London, they are nicely programmed, they have a good groove, those lovely breaks and I do like the occasional change in basic rhythm. they have drive. The only thing I dislike, is the bass drum. It has a boxy sound. Don't get me, wrong, it's not your production, but the sound itself. Still, when the bass really drops in, it's not that noticeable anymore. The arrangement all in all, is very dense, once everyne is in. :-) There is a lot capturing attention, without overcrowding it. Nice piece! Camphor and You is such a different proposition to Lost inLondon. I do recognise something typically you. At least judging by the four pieces I have here. I was a little reminded of all I Need again. The short filtered rhythm synth. I thought, it might have been another cover of that song. But then I went back, since it's been quite some time. Although the atmosphere is dense again and ther are some spheric and smooth sounds in here, I do like the drum 'n' Bass better. At some point my ear says, that there's a little too much movement or chaotic impression for the piece (sometime after the first half, sorry time in mplayer is not very good). Interesting choice for the "percussive" section or interesting editing of percussive sounds. I always imagine a big, slow beat coming in at one point, resolving the "restless night" impression into a settled, still meditative moment, without the lively pads and effect sounds. Thanks for sharing those two. Again enjoyable. with you I know, that I can expect something with byte and crunch, when it comes to anything, that should have it. No mulchy drums. My best friend would say: He delivers. :-) Best wishes Julien ---------------------------------------- http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html

It certainly captures the frenetic atmosphere of the city! "Camphor And You" is much closer to my preference, and I really enjoyed this... several times so far! -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

My complaint, however, is that the percussion stands a little farther out from the mix than I would like and the bass drum/bass are just *way* too forward. I realise this is "drum 'n bass", but I feel it eclipses other more subtle elements which might contribute to lending this piece even more character. Very good; very soundtrackish, and I felt the music was just crying out for images or even added sound effects. One just feels as though "something" must be happening. The mix is much more balanced on this track. Thanks for sharing! Cheers, S.M.

Hello! I just want to stress again how much I like that track, Camphor and you. Is there any chance you could share the presets for the synths you used in that one? Best regards, On Thu, Nov 8, 2012 at 4:18 PM, William Light <wrl(a)illest.net> wrote:
