[LAU] Some overcompressed electro that'll never get finnished

[Julien Claassen]

Hello Gabbe!
   Nice music. Deep 7 gives me a kick of reminiscing over the 90s. Although 
perhaps even a few years after my time of being really into 90s music.
   Pulse KLAR has much more 2000s feeling to it. Maybe because of the chosen 
sounds. I think I heard quite a bit of these pulse/square wavey sounds in 
recent years and the drum sounds rather fit the bill as well.
   I don't know, why I really like them, perhaps it's the Skandinavian 
atmosphere, the touch of nothern hands and ears. :-) It is rather heavily 
compressed, but especially for Pulse KLAR this works very well. At the same 
time in that song it sometimes does harm to the arrangement. When the 
tambourine came in, I had the feeling, that it could have done with a highpass 
filter or a higher cutoff frequency, since I suspect, you already used some HP 
filtering. The bass doing so much in the way of stereo movement later on is 
not very compatible with the compression. It muddles the piece a great deal. I 
like the effects applied to the bass as well as to the other instruments, but 
the bass would have been better of in the middle or the compression taken down 
at the "bass solo". At the beginnig of Pulse KLAR I had the feeling - for an 
instant -, that this song brought back nostalgia of old Atari and Amiga times.
   Which synths did you use to record these? You mentioned Hydrogen in a way of 
sequencing, I suppose this also included the samples being played by hydrogen? 
What were the other synths involved? Software or hardware? Which compressor 
did you use, it sounds very well suited to achieve, what I call the American 
sound, as found in some of the recent Britney Spears materials from the Femme 
Fatal album. It is really a very close fit. Yes, it's all of that, which makes 
the sound, but the bahviour of the compression struck me, when I listened to 
it. I suppose it can be reached with any odd well-written compressor, yet no 
harm in asking. :-) The drumkit, that you used: Is that something, one can 
easily lay hands on? I mean the kit used for Pulse KLAR.
   It seems much of that mail has been busy with Pulse. perhaps because of the 
negative criticism put into it, while maintaining, that I still like it a lot. 
:-) Hm, maybe here's another one for Deep 7: What did you use to process and 
trigger the voice samples?
   Warm regards and thanks for sharing these
            Julien
