It's just that I remember someone saying that I've got a very original sound.
I took that as a compliment. :D

Not really that original but it sounds really great! So don't sweat the small stuff, you know? :)

Hmm... personally didn't like Art of Deconstruction much at all, and Reindeer needs to get to the interesting bass part faster.

I really like Nae Tschun, I think it may be my new favorite of yours. You're getting really good with the transitions in your music.

Funnily enough, one of the people who's really liked my past work has said it's one of my weakest efforts yet.

I like where you are going as you make more tracks...but one thing I haven't noticed come into play much in your tracks is the shaping and texturizing of your sounds. Right now it seems you are relying a bit too much on slowly building the tracks, using repeating loops and added elements to show a sense of movement. I saw in "reindeer" you were changing the eq on the saw synth, that is good, keep that up. My suggestion to make your tracks a bit more impressive is that you start to vary your dynamics more and 'grit' up your synths.
Black then White are all I see in my infancy...Red and Yellow then came to me, reachin' out to me, lets me see...

Thanks Vord, I like comments like this.
On how to improve more musically.
Not just "Be more like BoC"

I love BoC, but I think their sound is sacred, and that people shouldn't try to replicate it, 'cause then it loses all the awesomeness.

Not saying that they aren't bad. I mean, people saying I should be more like BoC is a compliment, it's like saying "Reach for the stars! You can do it!"

It's just that I don't want to go that way. >_>

i really like stilton, personally i would have played about with the structure of the song, it builds up...and up...and i'm waiting for something to happen, even if its some simple drums to support the melody. i also like the bass synth in the background, but would personally raise it slightly. the ending of the song has the right idea, but the notes become a bit muddled causing the piano to sound a bit out of tune.

nae tschun is another track i enjoy, the drums work well with it, but it's missing this something that would support the drive and flow of the track.

art of destruction reminds me of some noise-core type band i once played in, consisting of manipulating the sounds of cheap keyboards through huge number of pedals! its good!

oh, and reindeer has a great ending to it!

anyways, i hope you take this as positive criticism! you're progressing nicely! x

"Over my dead body" - The pallet is too harsh for me so I couldn't listen to it.
"Dino" - Not a bad track at all but I think you overdid the reverb a bit.
"Stilton" - Very nice, I'm a sucker for any thing pianoey.
"Nae Tschun" - Love the rhythm, this is probably my favourite track.
"Art of deconstruction" - Again, sonically just too harsh for my taste.
"Reindeer" - I like this too, I would have liked the Apache sample to come back in towards the end.

I've been listening to a lot of Merzbow and Black Dice.
That's probably where the harshness comes from.
